A/N: Originally, I had no idea where I was going to go with this, but then I was in the shower last night and the ideas wouldn t stop coming lol! But I was way too tired to do anything about them :( But I still remember the grand majority ^^ Enjoy!

"Zuko!" Wren exclaimed, trying to get his attention. He ignored her.

"ZUKO!" she said more forcefully, pulling on her arm to get him to look around. He didn't.

"You're going to see Katara, and you two are going to work this out. I've already accepted that she s going to hate me for eternity, but she shouldn't hate you"

"Aw, your boyfriend's just trying to help, Wren"

"He's NOT my boyfriend!!" Wren shouted at Toph, who just laughed.

Wren tried to dig her heels into the ground, but Zuko just pulled her along harder. She tried to Earth-Bend the stone floor to wrap around her feet and hold her in one place, but the Earth didn't seem to want to comply. Toph laughed again, while Wren exhaled in fury, surprised when her breath came out as stream. They had gotten to the main chamber now, where Aang and Katara had been fighting, and sure enough, Katara was there. She turned, saw Zuko and Wren, and turned swiftly away again. Zuko let go of her hand, and put his on the small of her back. He pushed her forward gently. A chill ran up Wren's spine from where he touched it, leaving nothing but warmth behind. She stepped away from Zuko's hand. She sighed; Zuko was right. In order for her to fit in properly, and therefore help Zuko to do the same, she had to make friends with the mother Duck-hen. Urhg.

"Uh, hey, Katara"

"What do you want?" she replied, still turned away. The icy demeanor set Wren's easily-agitated nerves abound.

"What else? To talk to you" she said, trying to calm herself down. This was never going to work if they were both angry.

"Haven't I made myself clear?" Katara asked, still not turning around. "I want nothing to do with you or your Fire Nation boyfriend"

"He. Is. Not. My. Boyfriend" said Wren through her teeth.

"Either way. Just leave me alone"

"Why do you hate me so damn much? What the hell did I ever do to you?! I'm here to help Aang fight Ozai! Doesn't that count for anything?!" Wren half-yelled, her anger spilling over. She saw Katara jerk straight from the sitting position she had been in. She turned on her knee (finally) to face Wren.

"Why? WHY? You have no right to be here, to even exist! How could you steal Aang's thunder like that?!"

"That may be true, but that's not the reason you hate me! I can tell you re lying, Katara"

Katara visibly fumed. Had she been a Fire-Bender, the air would be rolling in heat waves. The air around Wren now was a bit too hot for comfort, but Wren hardly noticed.

"It's about Aang, isn't it?" Wren taunted. She was just trying to vent her frustration, to make Katara angrier, but from the look on her face and the sudden spike in heart rate, barely noticeable, it looked like she had gotten it right on the head.

"Does it make you mad that I can understand him better than anybody, better than you, even? Does it bother you that there's a new girl in the group to lure him away from you? You know we're practically siblings, but with no real blood-relation? If we so fancied, we could date at any time. And you know what, Katara?" Wren continued, smiling mercilessly, "Aang is kind of cute"

Katara shouted out in indignation and fury. She threw herself at Wren, wrestling her to the ground all bending was forgotten. Wren rolled, balancing herself on Katara's legs to try to pin her, it didn't work. She took a hit to the face and struck Katara right back, punching her around the eye. She felt a hand in her hair and then really felt her head being yanked down onto Katara's fist. She twisted her own hand in Katara's long hair and pulled it as hard as she could. She felt her trying to struggle, and Wren landed an elbow in her gut. She heard Katara gasp out, and suddenly, they were separated.

"GUYS!" Zuko was shouting. He had a hold on Wren, his arms holding hers behind her back, and Toph subduing Katara with Earth-Bending. Both girls were struggling to continue to fight. Wren twisted away from Zuko and let Katara out it would be no fun just beating up on a helpless little girl. Katara pulled water from her bag, and prepared to fight. Wren smiled; she could take on this little...oh, she couldn't wait. He heard Zuko backing away as fast as he could.

Katara pulled the Octopus formation, while Wren created an Earth Ball and was starting to ride it around and around Katara in circles. Katara was trying to strike her every time she passed close by, but Wren was working the Earth Ball with her feet too quickly. Katara almost got her, so Wren pulled up the thinnest of layers of dirt to shroud around her. Katara was blind. Suddenly, the Octopus Formation disappeared.

Katara walked out of the dust cloud, water wrapped around her arms. Wren hopped off the ball quickly. This was a real fight, now. She raised earth around her in preparation. It pained her burn to move her hands in position to control stone, but she ignored it. Katara tried to hit her, but Wren slid out of the way. She threw a rock at Katara, and it swerved and hit her in the small of the back. Katara stumbled, but a water-whip came from nowhere to smack Wren in the face. She pulled the ground like a carpet around Katara. She lost her footing, and fell to one knee. Suddenly, she spun and forced the water to freeze, and shot the ice-wall at Wren, who couldn't move to block it in time. She was knocked off of her feet. Wren was tired of this. She dropped the Earth, and began to fight Katara s control over the water.

"No, no you don't!" Katara said through her teeth, nearly sweating with exertion. Wren had a sudden idea. She took a deep breath, and pulled energy from her body. She aimed her face at the water and let fire burst from her mouth. Katara gasped, and let her control slip a notch in surprise. She almost had the water from Katara's control when she found herself being thrown half-way across the chamber, slamming hard against the wall opposite the cliff-side. She slid down to the floor, and groaned. Then, a hand was laid on her shoulder. She lifted herself up and opened her eyes it was Zuko. She began to get up to continue fighting, when she saw Katara wasn't paying attention to her anymore.

Aang was staring at Wren, pure anger in his eyes. He was standing between her and Katara, his staff pointed in her direction, clearly ready to attack. She just sat there, dumbfounded. But then she smiled.

"See, Katara? Aang and I? Preposterous. Look whose aid he comes to!"

Aang took on a surprised look. He lowered his staff somewhat when it looked like Wren wasn't going to attack again, and he looked back at Katara. She was standing there, blushing. She looked at her hands, then at Wren. Wren raised a hand to her face. She could feel a black eye coming in, urhg. Who knew the Sugar Queen could pack such a punch?

"What's going on?" Aang asked. Katara opened her mouth to explain, but Wren beat her to the punch.

"Your girlfriend here has a major problem with me, and it's because of you"

Aang looked even more confused that he did before.

"What?" he asked, turning to Katara, who was looking at Wren in a 'did-you-really-have-to-do-that?' kind of way. Katara looked from Aang to Wren, from Wren to Zuko (who was still touching her!!), and finally back to Aang.

"Fine! I thought that, well, you and Wren would...you're so alike - in more ways than we are - and she's....pretty...you were really nice to her - then she was on Zuko's side of things, as if that can be forgiven...I couldn't stand her! Confrontational, she doesn't fit in at all! I couldn't let her take - well...you get it" she huffed. She said this all very quickly, and in a high voice.

"What?!" Aang repeated, still completely confused.

"She likes you, lover boy. She was jealous of Wren" Zuko explained. "That, and she's friends with me, which is to her, against you to begin with. But...you know that's not true, right?"

"I trust Toph...and Katara, why would you be jealous? That's...that's stupid!"

"Is it really? Aang, you and her...you understand each other like nobody else can, and you get along well..." Katara countered. repeating Wren's earlier words.

"She wasn't the one who I met outside the iceberg. She didn't fight for me at the North Pole, she wasn't the one who saved my life in Ba Sing Se, and she sure wasn't the one I kissed on the Day of Black Sun!" Aang came back with. Katara just looked at him. Wren and Zuko looked at each other, embarrassed. Wren certainly would have done those things - saved him and such (never would have kissed him, though) - if she had been able. And Zuko had been the one Katara had been fighting at the North Pole. They blushed and looked back toward Aang and Katara, who were now hugging.

"I'm...just going to go now..." Wren said, more to announce that she was leaving than anything. She noticed that Toph was already gone. She and Zuko left the budding couple to do their thing. They were wandering to nowhere in particular when Zuko touched Wren's elbow lightly. She turned, and was surprised. Zuko was right there, a few inches from her face in the semi-darkness.

"You really do fit in, you know, here with them. They like you" he murmured. How did he know that a nagging voice in the back of her head hadn't shut up about it since Katara had uttered the words? She didn't - well, couldn't, really - say anything. Zuko was too close for her brain to function right. He didn't move away from her. His hand was still on her elbow, but now it wasn't only his fingertips that were there - he was holding her upper arm, as if to keep her there. Was he trying to drive her crazy?! Without thinking, Wren moved her face towards his just a centimeter. Suddenly Zuko moved his head back several inches from hers. Wren let out a breath of surprise. Hurt swept through her. She'd been about to kiss him and he pulled away! Her jaw dropped in indignation. She realized this, and shut it with a snap.

"At least somebody does!" she said, and turned to run as fast as she could down the hall away from Zuko. She wished she could just disappear! Melt into the floor! SOMETHING. How embarrassing! She got about a foot away before she was being dragged back; Zuko still had her elbow. He turned her around and in one movement, pinned her body to the wall with his and kissed her. She was blank with shock. And confused. But soon she forgot this. She forgot where they were. She forgot her own name.

Her hands went straight to Zuko's shoulders, grabbing the fabric of his shirt and pulling him closer. His hands went to her waist, and one traveled up her back, brushing up her spine with the fingertips, to wind itself in her hair. One of her own hands went to the small of his back, preventing him from going anywhere but closer to her, and the other brushed his neck; he shivered and kissed her harder. Her hand brushed across his jugular, and she could feel his pulse, thudding faster than she would have thought possible. there was a crash and a yell in the distance, but they couldn't have cared less about it. It hardly even registered with Wren. They were curled so closely together that they couldn't have been seperated easily even if they wanted to be.

And it was in this position that they were found.

"Well, well, Zuzu, over Mai so easily?"
