The Lost Princess?
Thank you, to all my reviewers:
kayko15: Thank you for not thinking of me as a nerd! I feel better now! Thank you for reviewing my story.
Boylessgirl1529421: You don't want Katara to marry Haru! Anyway, thank you for reviewing my story!
Smarttypants199: I am glad you like my story! Thank you for reviewing my story!
Monito: You don't like the husband I chose for Katara, oh well! But thank you for reviewing my story!
TanakasHeart: You love my story too! Well, so do my family members, but they know all of the secrets to my story. Thank you!
LoyalFan: You like the movie Anastasia, well then I suggest that you play Shadow Hearts 2 Covenant 4 playstation 2. It is not the same design, but her story is within another story and besides you get to fight with her. Thank you!
inuyashachick04: Sokka is in the story, but not a lot so far. But don't worry; he will be in this chapter and the next chapter. Thank you!
starfirekatarafan: Yes, you are right; the only reason why I like cliffhangers is because I already know what happens. But, without cliffhangers, it makes some stories boring, but hey I love them! Thank you!
Spleef:You like the new ways and so do I. Thanks!
slipknotzuko: Glad you think my story, is cool! Thanks!
jalapeno1011: Yes, I know it is messed up, but like you said 'it was funnier than hell'. Because, while I was writing that chapter, I was laughing. So thanks!

Chapter 9: Lovers or Friends?
"That's great news, Katara." said Aang.
"What is great news?" asked Sokka, walking in.
"Katara is engaged, to marry Prince Haru." said Aang.
"Wow! Congrats!" said Sokka and gave his sister a hug. Zuko then walked in and asked "Congrats on what?"
"Katara is engaged to marry Prince Haru." said Aang. Prince Zuko face went pale. Finally he got his voice back and said "I am happy for you Katara." Then he walked out of Katara's room.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Sokka.
"Sokka, and Aang excuse me, I need to talk to Prince Zuko." said Katara and she rushed out.
"What's wrong with her?" asked Sokka.
Aang sighed and said "Sokka let's go back to your room, and I will tell you what I think."
Prince Zuko was walking fast and Katara was trying to catch up to him.
"Prince Zuko, wait!" yelled Katara. But Prince Zuko just ignored her. He finally reached his room, closed the door and locked it. When Katara got to door, she knocks on it gently.
"Prince Zuko, can we talk?" She asked.
"Not now Katara!"
"Please." She pleaded. Zuko open the door and said "What?"
"I sorry, if I hurt your feelings; I only said yes, to make my-
"Like I said Katara, I am happy for you. Go and get married to this Prince Haru! See if I give a damn. Goodnight Katara." He said and slammed the door in front of her face. Katara was speechless.
"I am sorry! I am sorry, Prince Zuko. " said Katara. She then whispered "I love you."Then went to her room crying. Zuko was still standing by the door, when he heard what Katara had said.
"If you loved me, why are you getting married to Prince Haru?" He whispered.
The next morning Prince Zuko woke up around eleven o'clock. He took a shower, got dressed and went down to the kitchen. When he got there, he receives an angry glare from Sokka. Prince Zuko paid no attention to this; he just sat there and ate his breakfast. Sokka couldn't stand it anymore.
"What did you say to Katara?" He asked, trying to keep calm.
"I don't know what you mean." smirked Zuko.
Sokka stood up and began to yell. "You fuckin liar! You said something to her and I know it! Don't play dumb! Everybody heard the argument between you and my sister! Now she won't come out of her room! If you hurt her then I gonna- but Zuko interrupted.
"Do what! You can't even fight off my soldiers; you sorry excuse for a warrior!" yelled Zuko, standing up.
"At least I know when to keep my mouth shut! At least I am not a banished prince trying to regain my title. Even your Uncle and your sibling told you to keep quiet, but you still spoke your mind and look how far it has gotten you!" yelled Sokka.
"Calm down Sokka." said Aang.
"I'm through here." Sokka said and left. Aang followed him trying to calm him down.
Prince Zuko sat back down and stared at his plate and finally spoke. "Uncle is Katara really in her room crying over me?"
"Yes, Prince Zuko. You should apologize." said Uncle Iroh.
"Why is everybody defending her! Don't they care about how I feel?" He said.
"Prince Zuko, Katara care about how you felt and what do you do; you let your pride get the best of you." Uncle Iroh said.
"Sokka was right."
"No, Sokka was wrong. You spoke out, to save the new Fire Nation soldiers. That takes true courage to do that. I think you should apologize to her, but not now."
"Why?"
"Because Prince Haru is in there, right now talking to her. So when the time is right go talk to her. Prince Haru will be staying here, until the wedding and be nice to him." Uncle Iroh said and continues to drink his tea. Prince Zuko just sat there and ate his food.
"Do you feel better now?" asked Haru. "
"Yes, I needed somebody to talk too." She said.
"I want to show you something. Will you come?" He asked.
"Yes, let me get ready." She said.
"Meet me in the garden." He said and left. She took a quick bath and got dress. But before she left her room she started to sing and so did Prince Zuko. They were both at on the balcony and they started sing:
Katara first
We were strangers
Starting out on our journey
Never dreaming
What we have to go through
Now here we are
And I am suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
Prince Zuko's turn
No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You where there to remind me
This is the start
Katara and Prince Zuko together
And life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I want to keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and Forever
A wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end, I want to be standing
At the beginning
With you
When their song finish, they both realize that they loved each other more then a friend. They walked back into their rooms and out the door. They ran into each other in the hallway.
"Katara"
"Zuko"
"Katara I am sorry, for what I said to you. I let my pride get the best of me." He said.
"Can we still be friends? Just friends and nothing more?" She asked.
"Yes, I would like that." He said. Katara smiled and continue to walk her way and so did Prince Zuko.
They both were thinking the same thing. They thought that is was too late, to become lovers.
So Katara met Haru in the garden. He showed her, a heart made of earth. It was just beautiful. Haru spend a month there, to be with Katara. They became fond of each other. They became friends and nothing more than that to Katara. So they set a date, for the wedding. The wedding would be tomorrow, because it had been long enough, for them to get to know each other.
Meanwhile Zhao and Hatori had just reached the Fire Nation and was now talking with Fire Lord OZAI!
"Why have you come back, empty handed?" asked Fire lord Ozai.
"My lord, I have not come empty handed. You see, my companion, brought me news of Prince Zuko." said Zhao.
"What is the news about? It better be important, so continue before I get angry."
"Yes, anyway Prince Zuko has found the Lost Princess and has the Avatar. My companion also said thatPrince Zukodidn't plan on bringing the Avatar back and that he was going to use the Avatar to kill you."
"How do you know that this companion of yours, isn't lying?"
"I found him in the water and he told me that Prince Zuko, threw him over board."
"So my son is trying to kill me then, well now stay a night Zhao. Tomorrow I will give you a letter, that says that Prince Zuko is to come home with Lost Princess and the Avatar. Also I am guessing that you know where he is, so take it to him!" said the Fire Lord. Zhao just smiled evilly and looked at Hatori.
Sorry, I would have put this chapter up on Tuesday, but I had to finish reading book six and seven of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I got this song, from Anastasia to and I am using one more from the movie to.
In all of my reviews everyone wants Prince Zuko and Katara to get married, but they are no telling me why. So maybe if you told why, they should be together, I might make them get together and not go through with the Katara and Haru pairing. Until next time, see u later.
Next Chapter: Wedding Day!
