53. Semantics

A/N: Inspired by Abby. So ya'll can blame her for this one. XP And yes, I know, resolute and stubborn aren't exactly synonyms, but in Zuko's head they are. And we all know that he isn't always so bright. And this is nothing more than a bit of silliness. Also, for those of you who have reviewed, especially Kimberly T, you are lovely and I adore you. You guys help keep me going. *passes out kissing Zutara figurines*


"I am not stubborn!" Katara yelled indignantly, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at her boyfriend. How dare he call her that? She wasn't stubborn. Nope. Not in the least. She didn't know where he'd gotten such a ridiculous notion from.

"Oh, really?" asked Zuko, quirking his one remaining eyebrow."What are you then?"

"I'm resolute."

"There's a difference?" he retorted.

"Yes, there's a difference!" she snapped, exasperated. "Stubborn means being unmovable and always thinking they're right even when they're wrong! Resolute means that one's determined to stick to and stand firm by their beliefs!"

When Zuko said that they still sounded like the same thing, he just barely managed to duck the incoming water whip aimed at his head.

In hindsight, he realized that he should have known better than to argue with Katara.
