It was breakfast time and Katara, Aang, Zuko and Toph were already up, looking for something to eat. They were at a small kitchen in the inn, which could be said belonged to them since anyone else was staying.

"Ok guys, what do you want to have for breakfast?" asked Katara all too motherly.

"I want fried eggs" said Toph.

"Fruits!" the joyful Aang requested.

"Whatever there is" an obvious someone said.

"Hmm, ok", Katara turned to look for food in the baskets but found ashes instead. "Where the hell is the food I just bought yesterday? Damn it", she screamed, forgetting that just a few seconds ago she was happy to serve breakfast to her friends.

"M.r. dummy must have burned it yesterday" Toph said "remember; his great lunch."

"yeah… and I kind of used the last of it last night, that's why I offered to cook last night; I knew you would have reacted worse yesterday" Aang said shyly.

"Oh, great, I thought you were being kind, seeing me doing everything all the time, but I guess that I was wrong"

"And we also know why we had that lame dinner" added Toph.

Katara was about to throw herself at her when Zuko stood up and interrupted. "Ah ha-ha; funny girl, funny girl isn't she?" he said calmly to Katara while passing his arm around her shoulder, "you know what? Aang and I are going to go to the market; you know, do some food shopping, and you stay here and just relax."

"Don't talk to me as if you were talking to a child" Katara screamed as she stomped the floor. She then realised how stupid she sounded. She let go of Zuko and left the room, while mumbling to her self.

"Ok, she's getting crazier day by day". Toph said.

"Oh, no; I think she's better now" said Zuko

"Ha-ha, right, let's go Zuko, before Sokka wakes up to find nothing to eat"

"Hey, wait up, I'll go with you" Katara came back running, "I may be tired, but I'm not gonna let you buy the supplies"

Aang's face lit up as Zuko mumbled to himself and tuned for the door "oh great, miss moody is coming"

"What did you say?"

"Oh nothing, that it is great that you are coming"

Katara smiled as she walked past him followed by Aang, "yeah I know"

After her worlds Zuko couldn't help but to smack his face.

"She's crazy"

"Hey, give it a rest, she must be at that time of the month. "Toph said.

Zuko grunted but followed his friends.

"So, Aang you go get some fruit, Zuko go get meat and I'll go get the rest."

…

Zuko was walking by the streets, which weren't many, trying to find a place which sold meat. He was also trying to ignore the ugly faces he was getting, he tried to ignore them and concentrate on his task, but he was so in to it that he missed to see a kid running in the street and bumped onto him.

"Hey watch we're you are going you…" the kid looked up and both gasped. "You"

"………… eh, hi lee."

…

"Thanks" Katara said to the lady who was giving her some bread.

"Hey, Kat; all fruit bought" Aang appeared behind her with a basket way too full of fruits; figures, she shouldn't have sent the vegetarian to do that.

"That's great; I have finished too, so we should go look for Zuko"

Shortly after she had started walking Aang grabbed her hand. Aww, he's so sweet. She thought, and to think that I made out with Zuko; no, no, guilt coming back, block these thoughts block these thoughts; oh the sky is so pretty, yeah, the birds…

"Katara?"

She snapped out of it "oh, what is it?"

"Is something wrong, you seem; oh how do I put this? ...wired"

"Lack of breakfast" she quickly replied.

…

"Stay away from me" the boy yelled as he started running.

"No, wait, Lee..." Zuko started chasing after him until he saw that he was with his mother, who was angrily looking at him. He slowed down and raised his hands.

"I'm not here to hurt you and neither was I last time, please, just let me explain…"

"There's nothing to explain, you are fire nation. You made a mess the last time you were here. And now you come back, giving us false hope."

"What? I didn't make a mess" his temper was rising as he kept walking, trying to cool down, "if anything I saved your son"

"Don't step closer, leave, now"

"Hey I..."

"I think she told you to leave," a big looking guy shadowed him and lee and his mother started walking away.

"No, wait…" he felt a strong grip on his arm; it was that creepy looking guy. Zuko was about to firebend him away but before he could make a move the man was encased in earth.

"What the hell?" the man asked, trying to get free.

Zuko was standing blinking looking at him when he felt someone running to him and then felt a soft arm on his back and another one grabbing gently his arm. It was Katara, followed by Aang.

"Are you ok?" Aang asked.

"Did he hurt you?" he couldn't answer when Katara was already asking herself too.

"I'm ok" he said as he looked down, embarrassed and sad.

"Let's go" Katara gently said and pulled him to start walking while Aang freed the man.
