Authors note: Alright, the plot…to tell you the truth is just going to spill out soon. So start to forget the little bits and pieces of it. This chapter is kind of…weird, in a funny way. Sorry…that Zutara is going to have to hold off. Also, I do not own avatar.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Back Again
"Hey Katara, ever watch Avatar: the last airbender?"
"No Sokka…I sort of have other things to worry about…"
"It's kinda of good…you see it's about these people who can bend water, earth, fire, and air. Aang is the Avatar so his job is to stop the Fire Nation who started this stupid war. But he disappeared and now he's got to fight the Fire Lord one hundred years later."
"Sokka, I really don't care."
"Eh, suit yourself. It's a cool show."
"Whatever…"
Sokka turned to face Katara who was sulking at the kitchen table. Come to think of it, she had been doing that for the past week and half.
"What's got you so ticked?"
"Nothing, I just…I just want Ty Lee to come back."
"Oh, you mean my admirer?"
"Don't flatter yourself…she's just been gone awhile and I'm getting worried."
"Don't be, she'll be here before you know it...oh dude, I haven't seen this one! It's when Aang has to go to a Fire Nation school and Katara and Sokka pretend to be his parents!"
Katara just stared at her brother with a raised eyebrow.
"Sokka, I worry about you."
Sokka just gave an exasperated sigh before pointing and laughing at the TV show. Katara rolled her eyes just as the door bell rang. Seeing as Sokka wasn't going to move an inch she went to go get it.
Katara instantly looked to the ground when she saw who it was. All he did was put his hand out, a letter that had her dad's name on it firmly in his hand. Mixed up the mailbox's she supposed.
Katara put out a quivering hand and reached for the letter. She and Zuko's hand touched for one moment. It made her jump to feel such a cold touch. Katara quickly moved her hand back to her side and slowly looked up.
Zuko was wearing his radar hat as usual, that shaded his gold-brown eyes. With as much courage as she could muster up, Katara tried to speak. But nothing came. She was just left, standing awkwardly in front of Zuko, staring at him. He soon got the notion that nothing would be said and turned around.
Before Katara could even say bye, Zuko was already half way to his uncles. She slammed the door shut, anger clearly apparent and stomped back to the kitchen table.
"What the heck is wrong with me?!" she screamed "That was my chance and I blew it!"
She thudded into a chair just as Sokka busted out with laughter, again.
"Ah! That is rich! Did you see that Aang dancing? And then flirt with that girl?"
"Sokka, for one moment in your life can you please act like-"
Ding-Dong!
"That stupid, crappy, bell!"
"Katara, I advise you call dad to calm down or get therapy. Please do either of the two…I'M WATCHING AVATAR!"
"Uh!"
Not without loud stomping did Katara return to the door, fuming with aggravation.
"What do you want?! Do you not see that sign that says No Marketers?!"
"Sorry…I kind of missed that…"
Katara gasped. She knew that voice. She opened the door in a rush as a smile spread across her face.
"Ty!"
"Kat!"
The two jumped into each others arms, finally being reunited. Katara felt a quick tear escape her eye as she held Ty Lee in her arms. The two departed, each giving a excited sqeual.
"I've missed you like crazy!" Ty Lee said screaming.
"Me too!"
Katara glanced behind her friend but saw no car but she did notice the suitcase in her hand.
"Ty Lee…this doesn't look good."
"Trust me, it isn't."

Authors note: Hmm, all in all very interesting. I hope you all enjoyed and I'll try to get that Zutara in soon. About adding the real avatar thing in…cute. I'm sure you all saw the headband and that clearly happened. I'll try to give a quick update.
