"I don't like this," Zuko said, pacing around in the library. "It feels like there's nothing I can do."

"You organized the search party," Katara said. She was out of harm's way in the corner of the room, practicing simple Waterbending moves. Zuko had already burned two tapestries, four books, and had thrown fireballs at the wall seven times—make that eight. "Zuko! Calm down! You're gonna burn the whole room down!"

Zuko sighed. He sat down in the closest chair.

"Maybe a sparring session would help," Katara suggested.

"But we already did one this morning."

"I know, but that doesn't stop us from having another one." She paused. "I'll meet you at the arena in fifteen minutes."

Zuko walked to his room. He changed into training clothes.

At the sparring arena, Zuko and Katara did their stretching routine together. Then they began.

Zuko made the first move. He shot a fireball aimed directly at her head. She sidestepped and it missed her by inches. Zuko shot two more at the same time. She ducked and aimed a water whip at his feet, hoping to knock him over. But Zuko was too fast. He jumped over it. They fought some more until Zuko managed to knock Katara down. She screamed in pain.

"My ankle!" She shouted. Zuko ran over to help her into a more comfortable position so she could heal herself. Just as he was helping her up, Katara pushed him down on the ground. She held an icicle to his throat. "Gotcha," she said with a smile.

"You lied," Zuko realized. Katara nodded.

The two stayed there for a while, unmoving. They were oblivious to someone walking in.

"Katara!" That person yelled, clearly not liking what he saw. Katara and Zuko's head turned towards the person who was speaking.

It was Sokka.

Katara and Zuko realized the position they were in. Katara was still on top of Zuko from where she pushed him down in a surprise attack. They blushed and quickly stood up.

Katara had déjà vu. This was like the many times Sokka had walked in on her and Aang. Now thinking of Aang, Katara debated on whether or not she should break up with him. There was definitely something between her and Zuko. She decided she would think about it later.

"What were you doing?" Sokka said, acting as super-protective big brother.

"Sparring," Katara and Zuko said at the same time.

"Well it definitely did not look like it!"

"We were," Katara said, "then…"

"Then what?"

"The I kicked Zuko's butt!" she said playfully.

Zuko got defensive. "Did not! You cheated! I declare a rematch!"

"Noooo rematch!"

"Feel better?" Katara said as Sokka pulled her out of the arena.

Zuko smiled. He felt better. He felt much better.

Okay, I don't even know what this chapter was…I kinda just threw it out there, but hey two chapters in one day. That's a record for me. Tell me what you think. I want to know what you think. You haven't reviewed the last two chappies I put out, you lazy-good-for-nothing readers!
