Chapter eight: Celebration of the Return of the Princess

"Uncle Iroh, have you seen they way they look at each other?" asked Sora.

"As in they, you mean Zuko and Katara; yes I have. But when I ask them about it, they refuse and they say that they are just friends." Uncle Iroh said.

"Well, look you get Prince Zuko ready, while I get Katara ready and maybe by the end of tonight he will proposed." She said. Uncle Iroh nodded his head.

"What about Aang?"

"Can you get him ready?"

"Sure." He said and left.

Dusk began to set in and Sora, including Uncle Iroh, got everyone ready. The guests were starting to arrive.

"Aang, since you are finish getting ready, you can go downstairs." said Uncle Iroh.

"Okay." said Aang and he left.

"Prince Zuko …" Uncle Iroh trailed off.

"I know uncle, try no to start fights and burn anything down." smirked Zuko.

"I wasn't going to say that, but yes please try not to do those things. All I am going to say is that me and Sora know that you like Katara and might even love her. So Isuggestthat if you do love her, make your move. Because, if you don't make your move, you will lose what is important to you and most likely will regret it." Uncle Iroh said and left.

Zuko turned around gettingready toprotest, but realized that his uncle had left. He then went downstairs to join the other prince's.

"Katara, come out of the dressing room and show me how the outfit fits." said Sora. Katara came out the dressing room frowning.

"What is the matter, honey?" asked Sora.

"I like the dress and all, but I don't see why I have to get married." She said.

"Oh, I see. I am not trying to rush anything! I am glad that you are home, but you are fifteen now and at fifteen, you will need to get marry." Sora explained.

"Why?"

"Because I was fifteen, when I met your father. We did not know each other, but the more time we spend together, the more we became fond of each other and then we fell in love. Then we got married and had Sokka. Besides, it is your duty as a princess."

"Oh, but I not ready yet."

"Don't worry, because I have a feeling that nobody will ask you to be their wife and then you will be free to marry Zuko." She said. With that said she pushes Katara out into hallway and left her. But before Sora left, she told Katara to go to the ballroom and that she will meet her there. So Katara walked to the ballroom.

Katara sighed and said "Here I go." She pushed the door open and walked straight out into the balcony, where everyone saw her. All the prince's in the room gasped when they saw Katara. Katara walked down the stairs carefully, but when she reached the bottom Prince Jet took her hand.

"May I have this dance?" He asked.

"Sure." She said. Jet pulled her into the middle of the floor and they began to dance. After Jet finished dancing with her every prince wanted a turn with her. Prince Zuko was speechless and began talking to himself.

Zuko's thoughts: What's wrong with me? Why do I get so jealous when she talks to other men? Why do I yearn for her touch? This is so stupid. But his Uncle interrupted his thinking.

"Prince Zuko, aren't you going to ask Katara to dance. I know that she is waiting for you." Uncle Iroh said. Prince Zuko walked up to Katara, who was now by herself.

"Katara would you like to dance with me?"

"Sure, Prince Zuko; I was beginning to think that you wouldn't ask me."

So they danced, for what seemed hours, but in reality it had only been five minutes.

Sora walked up to them and said "Prince Zukocan I borrow my daughter?"

"Go ahead." He said. Sora pulled Katara onto the stage and turned to the people and said "Excuse me, my daughter will like to sing a song, for everybody to hear. I hope you will enjoy it."

Everybody rushed to the front and sat down. Aang of course was the first in the front. Katara set up and sat on the floor and when everybodywas silent she began to sing:

Dancing Bears

Painted wings

Things I almost remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

Someone holds me

Safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully across my memory

Far way

Long ago

Glowing dim as an ember

Things my hearts use to know

Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

With that, she was done with her song and all the time she was singing she was looking at Prince Zuko and Prince Zuko never lost eye contact with her. Everybody started clapping for her. Katara got up and went the balcony that was connected to the ballroom and looked at themoon. When Prince Zuko saw this he started walking towards her, but Prince Haru got there first.

"Your song was beautiful, Princess Katara." said Prince Haru. Katara spun around and said "Please call me, Katara." Haru walked up beside Katara.

"The moon is beautiful, like you Katara."

"Thank you Prince Haru." She said and blushed.

"You know, you remind me of my mother." He said.

"How so?"

"Everything about you reminds me of her. Your smile, eyes, and most of all your personality."

"Have we met before?" She asked.

"Yes, we met once, back in the Earth bending Kingdom. But at that time you weren't a princess. You help me over throw the fire benders in my nation. So this is why, I must ask you a question." He said. He got down on one knee and grabbed Katara's hand and said "Will you marry me?"

Katara was in shock, she didn't know what to say. Then she remembers what her mom had said. 'Because I was fifteen, when I met your father. We did not know each other, but the more time we spend together, the more we became fond of each other and then we fell in love. Besides it is your duty as a princess.' So Katara finally knew what her answer was. "Prince Haru, yes I will marry you."

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! Katara and Haru sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love then comes marriage then comes the baby in the baby carriage. I finally decided that Haru will marry Katara. (Supposedly) Oh, yeah I got the song from Anastasia and I will be using one more song from the cartoon movie. You guys are probably thinking jeez, she is a nerd! Please review and please don't get mad at me and stop reading.
