#21. Vacation
"How about Fiji?" Zuko asked his fiancée, handing her a brochure. They were holed up in Katara's apartment trying to agree on something. The wedding was less than six months away and a great deal had already been done. While the hall for the reception had been secured and the bridesmaid dressed had been picked out and being complained over ("I look terrible in blue!" Suki had muttered mutinously). Invitations were sent, and a cake had been selected, the only thing left was trying to get the details of "the most important part of getting married" in Zuko's opinion, squared away.
"Fiji?" Katara asked as she flipped through the glossy pages of white sandy beaches and happy frolicking couples in the surf, a considering frown on her lips.
"What's wrong with Fiji?" He asked incredulously as she sank down into his lap.
"It's so cliché!"
"It is not, Hawaii is cliché!"
"But it's hot..."
"Yes, thus the reason for a beach..."
Katara looked over at him. "You hate the beach."
"Yes," He kissed her cheek. "But I love you in your white bikini."
"Is that the only reason for you marrying me? For me in my white bikini?"
"Would you hate me if I said yes??"
"Zuko..."
He rolled his eyes. "Fine, where do you want to go?"
"What about Alaska? On a cruise"
"We are going to be stuck on a boat with a thousand other people on our honeymoon??" Zuko growled, obviously not pleased.
"Alaska is beautiful...look, we'll get to see all the glaciers and all the wildlife; the mooses, the caribou...the whales...Zuko! Please, I love whales you know that!" She pouted and looked up at him with her biggest puppy dog face, sticking her lower lip out so far it almost touched her chin.
"We're going to freeze!"
"Only you."
"So, the fact that I'm going to be your husband in less than six months and the fact that I'm going to freeze on our honeymoon will have no bearing on your decision making process at all?"
"Was that one sentence or two?" She cocked her head to one side in confusion.
"Katara... I'm being serious."
"I can warm you up if you get cold..." She whispered in his ear and pressed a kiss just under his jaw and her arms slipped around his middle. "You know I am very good at that..."
"..."
oh Zu-zu...just can't say no to Katara...i heart it!! oh and i'm having some writer's block when it comes to the next theme: Mother Nature, I have an idea, but i doesn't seem very zutara-ish, that and Trouble Lurking...i feel like it should deal with Sokka or Azula...if you have any ideas, they are appreciated.
