Everyone was nervous.

Katara was dressed in a blue t-shirt with black mesh-covered pants. She also had on tall black boots, a blue headband, silver loop earrings and blue motorcycle gloves. Jun was wearing all black-a black tank-top, black jeans, black boots and a black headband. She was also wearing a pair of mesh gloves. Azula was wearing a gold tank-top, gold gloves, a black skirt, black high-heeled sandals and layered gold necklaces. Suki was wearing a pair of brown fingerless gloves, a chocolate-brown t-shirt, black pants and black high-heeled sandals. She also had a jade bracelet. Toph was wearing a light green t-shirt, a black skirt, black low-hemmed boots and black mesh fingerless gloves. She wore a green headband to set off her brown-black hair.

Zuko was wearing a red t-shirt with flames on it, a black head-band with his hair still up in a ponytail, black trainers and black casual pants. Haru was wearing his usual green headband, a green t-shirt, black pants and black sneakers. Jet was in all black-a black tank-top with a black leather jacket over it, black leather pants and a pair of black boots. Sokka was more spiked up than his hair. He had a blue tank top with a black unbuttoned t-shirt style jacket, black sneakers and black pants with blue flames. Aang was in his orange jacket, yellow t-shirt, black sneakers and black pants.

No one was as confident as s/he looked.

The Red Rain was up first.

The crowd silenced as the members of the all-boy band stepped onto the stage, taking their places. Zuko nervously stepped up to the microphone. "H-Hi everyone," He said shakily. "The song we're going to play today is 'The Reason'". Everyone cheered. Zuko stepped back and allowed the band to start them off.

Katara and her girls were waiting offstage, biting their fingernails. The Red Rain seemed to be doing good so far. What if they lost? The humility would be horrible! Katara's heart beat faster and seemed to rise up into her throat. She felt her face heat up. She collapsed weakly into a chair, a hand on her chest, panting slightly. The other girls looked over at her with sympathy. Poor Katara-she'd be taking the whole loosing thing out on herself if they lost...

Finally, the song was over. Zuko and the boys stumbled offstage, faces flushed red. Katara took her cue and stepped lightly onto the stage. She cleared her mind and took up her guitar. She walked to the microphone and introduced her song while the other girls chatted nervously as they got ready. "Hey everyone," She grinned nervously. "Katara here. We're going to play for you 'Everything You Want'". The crowd cheered again. Katara allowed the music to start her off.

When their turn was over, the girls stumbled offstage. Katara collasped into a chair, her eyes closed, limbs limp. Toph came over. "Katara, are you okay?" Katara opened her eye. "Mm-mm," She moaned before closing her eyes again. Toph slid a cool hand onto her friend's forehead before retreating it quickly. "Holy s! I need a cold dish towel and some tylenol PRONTO." Was the last thing Katara heard before she went unconcious.

Katara woke slowly. She was first concious that she was laying down on something cool and hard. The second thing she noticed was that there was a cold towel on her forehead covering her eyes. Another thing was that there was a ribbon with something heavy at the end around her thin neck.

The last thing she noticed was that a warm hand was laying on hers.

Katara held up her free hand to brush the towel away from her eyes. The motion hurt her. She winced as a bright light filled her tired eyes and waited patiently for her eyes to get used to the bright light.

Two people were around her. One was dressed in green, standing above her, while the other had black hair and was sitting down, their hand over hers.

Katara's vision cleared. She saw that the one standing was Toph and the one sitting was Zuko. Katara didn't bother to try and yank her hand away. Zuko winced at how Katara looked so tired.

Toph was the first one to speak.

"You have a very high fever. The doctor says it was from stage fright and working yourself too hard on practicing so that we'd get the gold medal. The good thing is that we've got the gold medal this year." Katara noticed that Toph had a medal around her neck identical to the one around Katara's neck. Katara sat up slowly, Toph helping her. She swung her legs slowly over the edge of what she now realized was a hospital bed and looked around her.

The rest of the Red Rain and the Blue Blood were talking quietly with each other. Katara noticed that they were coupled into boy-girl pairs, the boys' hands hovering slightly over the girls'. Aang was standing off to the side, looking at Toph's direction. Toph was carefully trying to keep her cool as she avoided Aang's grey-eyed gaze.

Katara noticed that her hand was still in Zuko's and gently pried it cold, gold medal that hung arouind her neck, she stepped towards the door.

Zuko grabbed her arm. "You're not going anywhere, are you?"

Katara looked back wordlessly. Zuko's face was filled with concern.

"You have to rest a little more. You worked yourself really hard, trying to earn the gold."

Katara was about to snap at him to leave her alone, but she gazed into his mesmerizing gold eyes and relaxed in his gentle but firm grip. "Okay," She said, and allowed Zuko to guide her back to the bed. She sat down weakly. Zuko sat on the chair he was sitting in earlier.

Both just stared at the ground wordlessly, sure that their cheeks were tomato-red.

Later on, the two groups parted. Sokka even kissed Suki goodbye on the cheek, leaving her red-faced but smiling dreamily.

Katara just rolled her eyes, still happy for her friend.

Back at home, Katara insisted that she was fine and went down into the gym. She sat on her meditation mat, cross-legged with her hands on her knees.

She decided to meditate on her relationship with Zuko. She didn't know whether she liked him or not and was going to find out.

After about an hour of meditation, Katara opened her eyes and stood up. Weakly, she made her final decision; she liked him.

A/N: Sorry if it sucked; I don't feel too good...
