"Katara, get away from me, I am sorry, but I can't do this. I have to say good bye to you and everyone. Please! Let me go!"
END FLASH BACK
Katara nor anyone else could believe it, Aang, the Great Avatar, who had just pledged his heart to Katara, just pushed away from everyone and was quickly lost in the storm of the "Unsettled Hearts".
"Did he just crush my little sister?" Sokka demanded.
"One man's treasure can lead to the destruction of a Nation." Iroh quoted. His plan, separate Katara and Aang completely, giving Zuko the chance to destroy a heart broken Avatar and marry a weak hearted Katara. All of his plan should work. If the two kids never found out.
"What do you mean? Is Aang never coming back?" Katara asked through tears.
Iroh put his arms around her with tenderness. He had to get as close to her heart as he could while she was weak.
"I assure you, I will make sure that Avatar comes back to you! He did the unthinkable by betraying you!" Iroh replied.
"Uncle, can I talk to you?" Zuko asked, then pulled him away from the girl who was now being skeptically looked at by her brother.
Out of the range of being heard by the brother and sister, Zuko pinned his uncle to a tree and glared at him.
"What are you up to now? Are you trying to crush my hopes of marrying a powerful bender? Her brother is not all that great, but he can be 'dropped off', so to speak. But that is beside the point of this issue! Uncle! Are you trying to ruin my plans?"
"As a matter of fact, Zuko, I am trying to…The trees have ears…(He whispered that)… I am trying to get the Lady back with the Avatar." (Whisper) " Zuko, I will tell all tonight. Meet me at the water edge. Midnight." With saying that, he walked off. Little did he know, Sokka had heard.
"Tonight at midnight, huh? Well, I will be an uninvited invisible guest. Sleep tight, Fire Nation." With that being murmured to the thin air, he went back to Katara, who had fallen asleep in her tent after crying for so long.
