Ok, when I wrote this story, I thought that I should kill Katara off somewhere around chapter five or six. But because of a number of requests, I've decided to write two alternate endings for this story: One where Katara picks Aang and one where Katara picks Zuko. Personally, I would rather have Zuko and Katara end up together in my story, but I want Aang and Katara in the TV series. So which ever ending you prefer, whether it be Katara/Aang or Katara/Zuko, you can decide which chapter to read. Or if you are really bored, you can read them both. Enjoy.

Gobond: I've been reading other stories and reviews and found out that you have been flaming and bad-mouthing a lot of people. Then I clicked on your profile and it turns out you don't have any stories whatsoever. Maybe before you start chewing people out, you should try writing a story or two. It isn't as easy as it looks. Please use constructive criticism, not offensive yelling.

A/N: Takes place during the battle because I didn't want to write the entire battle scene. You guys know what is happening.

Alternate Ending: Aang/Katara

Aang and Zuko panted as they rested from fighting. It seemed like the battle had lasted for hours even though they had only been fighting for about twenty minutes. Both boys were wounded pretty badly. Katara wanted to stop them. But how could she? She knew that they were too strong for her. But she had to try.

Zuko laughed as the battle staled. "You are pathetic. Would you like to know why I kidnapped Katara? It was so I could catch you. But then I thought about it. I could use her to get my honor back. But then I got to know her and soon fell in love with her. I can't just let go of her. I will destroy you and regain my honor as the Lord of the Fire Nation." He threw a fireball at Aang and hit him in the chest, knocking the wind out of him.

Then something horrible happened. Aang's Avatar powers were activated. Wind was swirling everywhere. Why had this happened?

Katara couldn't watch it. She finally realized something. She was Aang's sheath. She remembered what would happen if he lost control. But underneath all of that power and anger there was a little boy that couldn't help but make people happy. And that's why she loved him.

Katara ran into the whirlwind. Rocks pelted her and even cut her as she made her way to Aang. How would she get to him? "Aang, you have to stop! I know you are upset. I would be too. But you can't do this. You'll destroy everything here, including me. I love you, Aang. If you were to hurt anyone, you would lose sight of yourself. Then there would be nothing left for me." Aang dropped to the ground and his eyes returned to normal. Katara embraced him and soothed him.

"Katara, you love me?" he asked. Katara nodded as tears ran down her face.

"Yes, Aang. I will never leave you." Zuko had appeared from behind them. "I'm sorry, Zuko. I love you but I have to stay with Aang. We can't be broken. Please understand." Zuko nodded and smiled.

"I understand. You may go free." He walked away as the two lovers walked to the infirmary.


The next day, the gang was getting ready to leave. Katara had changed back into her old Eskimo clothes. She saw Zuko standing on the pier with a smug smile. "What are you smiling about, Lord Zuko?" she said with praise.

"I'm just making sure you get off safely," he replied

"That isn't like you at all. You are usually all barky and tough guy like." He laughed as she said this. Zuko had changed a lot since he met Katara. In fact, after his father had retired from the crown and allowed him to become ruler, he decided to call off all hunts for the Avatar. He even called off the war. "Are you going to be alright?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. You just make sure you visit me. If you need anything, just come to me." He kissed her goodbye as she walked away.

"Don't worry, Zuko. I'm never too far." The prince watched as the three kids flew away on the giant bison. He wondered what they would do now. All he knew was that she would return to him.


Yeah, it's a little short, but I think I got the point across. The Katara/Zuko ending should be up soon. Thanks for reviewing again. Cya.
