"Good morning sleepy head." Katara said kissed Zuko on the lips. His eyes fluttered open and he slowly stretched knowing the numbing cream had warn off by now.

"Morning," He said as he stretched. She crawled out of bed and gathered up some fresh clothes and went into the bathroom to change.

When she came back he told her the plans for the day:

"We have to go talk to my parents about the wedding today and then we have to talk to the planner." He said slowly sitting up.

"Oh, alright." Zuko got up and went to his room to change and to apply his cream for the day and they met in the hall way.

----

"So," Ursa began. "They plan that the wedding will be about two months from now and we understand that you're turning fifteen in about two weeks, Katara."

Katara nodded.

"So, what would you like to do for your birthday?"

"Well, um...I've never had a birthday with out...being home..so.." Katara trailed off. She didn't want to bother them.

Ursa gasped and grabbed Ozai's arm. "Ozai!" His shoulders dropped, knowing what she was about to say. "Now you have a reason to take me to see the lights!" She smiled.

"Yes, dear, but you said the Northern Lights." He pointed out like a child.

"Well, maybe I think the Southern ones are prettier." She said crossing her arms.

"How would you know? You've never seen them!" He shrugged.

"Well, I wonder why?" She said sarcastically. Ozai sighed and looked up at his wife. He knew he couldn't win this war. He may wear the pants, but his lady controls the zipper and he knew he wouldn't get any for weeks if he didn't take her.

"Okay," Ozai agreed.

"Okay, so, for your birthday, we're going to the South Pole." Ursa smiled. "Now, your wedding. What will you be wearing?" Ursa asked Katara. Zuko's face went paler than it already was.

"And just what would you like Lady Katara to be wearing?"

"Well, it's her wedding too so, I guess what ever she's comfortable in."

"Oh, no, sir, I don't think you understand. I mean after the wedding."

"So, I can pick my dress?" Katara asked and Ursa nodded. "Oh," Katara trailed off. The original plans that she had were that she were to wear the dress her Grangran and mother had worn.

"Oh, well, you can wear that if you would like."

"No," Katara said quickly. "I want to wear something from here."

"Okay," Ursa started. "We'll talk to your parents and see if we can arrange a ship to go out there." Zuko and Katara both nodded and they were dismissed.

----

"Now where are we going?" Katara asked, trailing behind Zuko.

"To go talk to the planner." Zuko sighed out. Katara walked up beside him and tangled her fingers into his.

----

"So," The planner smirked with a paint brush and a piece of paper in hands. "Wedding will be held in the usual church?" He asked. Zuko nodded. "You wear kimono or dress?" He asked Katara.

"Dress." The planner hummed and nodded.

"So, Zuk, you wear tux?"

"Yes."

"Black or midnight blue?"

"Black." Again, the planner hummed and nodded, writing down the information.

"Okay...and vanilla cake, of course?" He chuckled deep down in his throat. Not understanding, Zuko nodded. "Kay," The planner laughed. "Hakoda will be attending?" Katara nodded. "Okay, you go talk to Mrs. Anue with Lady Ursa," He pointed to Katara. "You," He said now pointing at Zuko. "You, Ozai, and I will pick your tuxedo." Zuko and Katara both nodded. Zuko followed the planner while Katara walked down the hall and of course, Mrs. Anue was already standing in the middle of it, smiling.

----

"Hello, Katara." She greeted and led her to another closet.

This closet held all of the dresses.

"What style do you like?" Mrs. Anue asked.

"Um..I don't really know." Katara shrugged.

"Well, I suggest either an A-line or a Mermaid. Because you do not need the help of an Empire, column would look odd on you, and a ball gown would just make you look fat." Mrs. Anue pointed out flatly. Ursa scowled while Katara was taken aback by her words. Well! Maybe she didn't want to wear those dresses anyway!

Ursa, Katara, and Mrs. Anue went through dress after dress. Hardly any of them Katara liked.

Then Katara came across a white Princess styled dress. The top bust part was covered in glass beads and on the left hip were more beads. The torso was kind of tight, but it was wrinkled so, it had room. Down from the cluster of beads on the left hip is where the rest of the dress flowed and pooled around and back. 1

"Oh my goodness." Katara gasped, gazing at the dress. "I want to try on this one." Ursa and Mrs. Anue looked at each other, then to Katara and nodded.

Katara went behind a curtain and changed.

Ursa smiled. It already fit beautifully on Katara. It complimented everything about her figure and made her lovely face and hair stand out. Katara looked at herself in the mirror. She turned to look at her sides and back. She liked it...no, she loved it.

"I think this is it." Katara said. "Yeah, this is the one." She nodded.

"Alright, now all you have to do is pick your tiara and your hair style." Mrs. Anue said turning and leaving the room to guide them to another.

Katara and Ursa followed at a small distance behind her.

"Katara," Ursa whispered.

"Hm?"

"You'll be wearing a veil, right?" She asked looking down at the younger woman.

"Um...am I supposed to?"

"Well, a white veil represents...um..virginity."

"Oh!" Katara exclaimed. "Yeah, yeah. I'll be wearing one of those." Lady Ursa let out a sigh a relief and quickly wiped away a small bead of sweat from her forehead.

Mrs. Anue was standing next to the hair stylist. She was a pretty woman who looked pretty young.

"Hello," She greeted shaking hands with each of them. "I think I have a look that you will like." She said smiling. Katara nodded and sat down.

The stylist took her hair from the pony tail it had been in and brushed through it. She took the top half layer and pulled back and then she pushed it up so Katara had a nice poof in the back. She clipped it there and put strands of hair over each of Katara's shoulders and the rest of her hair in the back. She pulled out a diamond encrested tiara from a glass case and placed it in Katara's hair.

"Quick, but pretty, right?" She asked letting Katara turn around and look at herself in the mirror. Katara smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I love it."

"Alright, makeup?" The stylist asked. All she did to Katara was put on some black eye liner to bring out her blue eyes. Everything was picked, set, and perfect for Katara.

----

Zuko sighed and leaned against the wall. The planner went through tuxedo after tuxedo. Zuko didn't get it. They all looked the same to him.

"Here," The old man said holding out a tux for Zuko to try on. Zuko examined it before taking it and going to change.

The arms were too tight and too long, but the seamstresses could fix that. After Zuko changed back into his usual clothes they measured his arms.

Zuko told them he would be going with his usual top knot.

"Ugh, I am starving." Zuko said catching up with Katara in the hallway. She nodded and the two teens went to lunch together.

After lunch they went to Zuko's room to rest for a while.

"I can't believe this is happening." Katara said propping herself up with her right elbow and resting her cheek in her hand.

"In a good or bad way?"

"A good way." She said kissing him on the cheek. He smiled and kissed her back.

"Yeah," He paused. "What do you want for your birthday?"

"Not anything like what I gave you,"

"I don't understand how you can be so bold like that." He said running his fingers up and down her back.

"Well, I love you, Zuko and I trust you." She said playing with his fingers.

"I love you, too." He said taking her in his arms and kissing her fully and passionately on the lips.

She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. She slid her tongue into his mouth and ran her fingers through his hair, completely messing up his top knot.

He kissed her back before trailing down her jaw line and sucking on her neck.

"We need to go to dinner tonight." He said panting.

"Why?"

"Because of how many dinners we've missed already." He said pushing himself up. They both went to dinner and their own rooms for the night.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

! Omg you guys! It's the one month anniversary!

! :/ I know pretty much absolutely nothing about Japanese weddings. I do know that Zuko and Katara's wedding would be a Miai. She could wear a watabōshi or a tsunokakushi, but the tsunokakushi is suposed to hide the brides 'horns of jealousy' and selfishness. Katara isn't a very jealous person and she isn't selfish. So, their wedding will be like a Euopean wedding which is a lot like our North American style (since we did kind of come from Europe]. :[ The Fire Nation is based on Japanese, Asian, and European styles in my story and we havn't seen much of the European so, I guess now is the time.

Aubrey is aboslutly 100% georgous! And in a way, if she had blue eyes, she would kind of look like Katara with her long hair. :]
