Chapter Seven: Reunion?
Katara woke up in the midnight; it was around eleven. She got out of her bed and walked out of her room and decided to wander the palace. She ventures in the kitchen, dining room, and back in the throne room. She looked around more and discovers a painting of a little girl. It looks exactly like Katara when she was little. Finally she left the throne room and tried to find her room again, but got lost. But she came to a room that was lit. She opened the door to find Zuko mediating. She opens the door more and snuck in and closed the door. After she waited for about five minutes she walked up to him and poke him and again he flew up in the sky and threw a fire ball, but Katara dodge it.
"What is it with you and my uncle scaring the crap out of me?" He said furiously.
"Nothing, we just like seeing you fly like a bird." She answered laughing.
"What do you want?" He asked calming down.
"Nothing really, but down that you mention it, I just thought that I would say thank you."
"For what?"
"For stopping me, from doing something I am sure I would've regret." She said and turned to leave. Prince Zuko walked to her and turned her around and hugged her.
"I couldn't let you become a killer. It wouldn't suit you." He said. Katara return the hug and kissed him on the cheek. He smiled his little smile and brushed his lip against her lips. Then they kissed passionately, for several minutes. Finally, Katara pulled away and said "I think I better head to my bedroom, before we get carried away."
"What's wrong with that?" He asked.
"I do not want to get pregnant." She said and turns to leave.
"Why not, my uncle wants more nieces and nephews. Anyway, I let the avatar go. He is still in this palace. He has his own room. You shall see him tomorrow." He said. Katara ran back to him and whispered "Thank You." She then left.
The next morning Katara got up and found a note and it said:
To Katara:
Your bath water is ready and your clothes have been laid out for you on your couch. When you are done getting ready please come down to the kitchen
Your mother, Sora
So within twenty minutes Katara was ready and found her way to the kitchen. When she walked in, she saw her mother sitting there, writing something. Sora looked up and found her daughter standing there.
"Don't be shy, come in and sit down." Sora said and a servant brought Katara her breakfast.
"Thank you." She said to the servant. The servant just nodded and went back to his chores.
"If your wondering where everybody is at, I will tell you. Uncle Iroh is with Aang and yes Aang is fine. We explain the whole situation to him. Sokka and Zuko are catching up on old times that they had together." Sora said.
"It is hard to believe, that Sokka and Prince Zuko are friends." Katara said, while she continues to eat.
"True, but it is hard to believe that you, Katara, like Prince Zuko." smirk Sora and looked up from her letter.
"What makes you think that?" Katara said as she turned red on her face.
"Well, I saw you last night. You went into Prince Zuko's room. Once I saw that, I couldn't help myself, so I open the door quietly, and watched. I saw the way he looked at you, and how you looked at him back." Sora answered and gave a sweet smiled.
"Mom, your making me blush. I do not like Prince Zuko as a boyfriend, but as a friend."
"I amsorry. If that is all he means to you then…" Sora said and started crying. "I don't mean to cry, but you called me mom. Go to the garden and you will find everybody there. I need time."
Katara got up and went to the garden.
"Katara!" yelled Aang as he ran to her and gave her a hug. He backed away and then said "I mean, Princess Katara."
"Aang you don't have to call me that. Just call me Katara, like you always did." She said smiling.
"I'm hungry!" said Sokka.
"Sokka, that's your name right?" Katara asked, to be reassured.
"Yeah. Why?" He asked, still hungry.
"Well, if you just had breakfast and you ate all of it, you shouldn't be hungry for hours. Unless…" She trailed off.
"Unless, what?" asked Sokka, curiously.
"Unless, you are a plain greedy and have eight stomachs." She said and started laughing and then Aang started laughing too.
"I don't see, what's so funny." said Sokka.
"Don't worry, they are not laughing with you, they are laughing at you." smirked Zuko.
"Katara has your mother told you yet?" asked Uncle Iroh.
"Told me what?" asked Katara.
"That tonight we celebrate your return, to your home." said Sora. "You will have fun, you will dance, mingle with other people, as in boys also, and sing a song." She said.
"I have to sing a song!" yelled Katara.
"Katara, must you yelled. Your voice can be very sharp." said Sokka. Katara just shot him a dirty look.
"Yes, you will sing a song and hopefully out of the entire young prince's here to see you; one of them will choose you as a bride." Sora said. "Prince Zuko, you too can join in, because you are a prince too." She said.
"A banish prince." He said and left.
"I just got home and you are already in a hurry to marry me off." said Katara.
"Yes and no. I will explain myself to you later; when it is time to get you ready. Uncle Iroh, can I please speak to you." Sora asked.
"Sure." He said and walked away with her.
"Don't worry about it Katara, because with your attitude, I doubt if the prince's will ask you to be their wife." Sokka said sarcastically. Katara was furious and with her water bending skills, she did the water whip and slap Sokka in the face and of course Aang laughed.
"Your one to talk, you should be married to a princess, by now. But I bit because of your greediness, they all rejected you." She smirked.
"Good one Katara." said Aang.
Well, that's the end of this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. I haven't decided if Jet, Haru, Zuko or someone else, will marry Katara! Oh well, please review!
