Gidget: I was in the Bahamas on a cruise. Did you all miss me?
Me: Here's some money. Go back.
Gidget: I'll take the money but I missed all the reviewers. You go.
Me: I can't. I'm the author.
Disclaimer: I'll be happy to trade Gidget for A: TLA. Infact, I'd trade her for a bag of Cheeto puffs. Any takers?
Young Love
Sarah, James, and Iroh skipped dinner that night (on purpose) so Katara was stuck eating with Zuko.
"I'm sorry about your mother Zuko. I know how it feels." Katara said.
"You can never know how I feel. You'll never know how it feels to lose your mother!" Zuko growled in response.
"The Fire Nation killed my mother when I was younger." Katara told him fiercely.
Zuko was shocked. "I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about trying to apologize. You're too insensitive to really mean it." she replied coldly.
"That's not true!" Zuko shouted.
Katara froze at the dangerous tone in his voice.
"I'm sorry I yelled," he apologized seeing the her fear.
Katara still didn't speak but relaxed and nodded to show she heard. Zuko noticed for the first time how beautiful she looked. She wasn't wearing her normal traveling clothes, but a Water Tribe dress that complimented her every feature.
Zuko scolded himself for his thoughts. 'I can't fall in love with a waterbender. She isn't even royal.'
"Zuko, are you all right?" Katara's voice brought him back to the real world.
"I'm fine."
When dinner was over they went to walk on the deck. Zuko couldn't help but think his earlier thoughts.
"The moon looks so beautiful. I love how it makes the water look calm and peaceful." Katara sighed.
"It does look pretty." Zuko agreed.
Katara felt herself falling in love. There was no doubt about it. She was in love with Pince Zuko. 'I can't do this. I can't love him. I'd be betraying Aang.' Katara thought.
Katara and Zuko looked into each other's eyes and in that moment they knew that the other cared for them. Zuko grabbed her waist, pulled her to him, and kissed her passionatly. Katara was shock by the sudden movement but didn't pull away. The kiss ended too quickly for the two teenagers because they needed air.
"I love you Katara. I've tried not to but I can't help it." Zuko confessed.
"I love you too." Katara informed him but Zuko already knew. They resumed kissing.
Sarah, James, and Iroh were watching behind a door on deck.
"Finally," Sarah whispered when Zuko and Katara kissed the first time.
"I liked trying to get Zuko and Katara to fall in love, but now that they are I wish they weren't." James told Sarah and Iroh.
"Why not?" Iroh asked.
"I miss trying to get them alone and to talk." James confided.
Sarah laughed. "Our job isn't done yet. We still have to keep them together."
Me: Let's just pretend that the Blind Bandit episode magicaly happened while Katara and Sarah are with Zuko and James. So now, Toph is traveling with Aang and Sokka.
Aang, Sokka, and Toph were trying to find any sign of Zuko's trail.
"Why did Prince Zuko kidnap your sister and Katara?" Toph asked while she played with Momo.
"He was trying to capture me, but Sarah and Katara work just as well for him because he knows I'll come after them." Aang told her.
"Then why are we going?" Toph asked.
"Because we want our sister back." Sokka snapped. He was sick of Toph's questions.
In response Toph threw a rock that had been in her bag at him using earthbending.
"Ow, that hurt!" Sokka yelled. Aang and Toph just laughed at the fuming Water Tribe boy.
Me: WE FINALLY GET TO ZUTARA! I know it was a short chapter but it was Zutara wasn't it. That makes up for the shortness.
Gidget: No it doesn't.
Me: Yes it does so shut up and go away. Far, far away. Go to the North Pole.
Gidget: I'd rather stay here.
Me: R'n'R!
