Chapter 2: The Fame

Katara let the studio of 106 & Park and her grandma were waiting for her in the parking lot. She got in her grandma's used 2001 Mercedes Benz.

"How did it go Katara?" Gran-Gran asked.

"It went good and I think they like my video. I just want to go home and see Jet." Katara said.

"You should dump that boy. I don't like him." Gran-Gran said as she started up the car and left the parking lot.

"Grandma! Jet isn't a bad boy; he just has…a few issues; which can be resolve." Katara said.

"I don't know Katara. He isn't the same, it's like he change once he got in high school." She said.

"Grandma can we please change the subject?" Katara asked, now annoyed.

"Sure, we have to go tothe hotel and pick up Sokka and then we have to get you to the airport. But Katara, when will they show that episode of 106 & Park?" Gran-Gran asked.

"Today, but in California time; so by the time we get back home that episode would've aired already." She said. Gran-Gran nodded her head and they pulled up to hotel entrance, where Sokka stood with the entire luggage. He opened the trunk and put the luggage in and got in the back seat.

"What took you so long? I was standing out there like an idiot." He complained. As Gran-Gran left the hotel and started driving towards the airport that was only five minutes away.

"You are an idiot and don't be a back seat driver." Katara said and giggle. Sokka just gave a sigh and said "I'm hungry. Can we stop by a food stand or something after we dropped off Katara."

"Sure. But Sokka you just ate twenty minutes ago." Gran-Gran said.

"He has eight stomachs to feed." Katara said.

"Whatever, Katara." Sokka said. Gran-Gran pulled up to airport in the drop off section. Katara got out of the car and guess who met up with her at the airport.

Zuko.

He smiled when he saw Katara get out of the car. He walked over to her and asked "Do you need help with your luggage?" Katara jumped and said "Hi Zuko, you scared me."

"Do you need help with your luggage?" He asked again.

"Sure, can you grab the big one?" She asked. He nodded and grabbed the big one and Katara got the small one. She walked up to Gran-Gran who was now in the passenger's seat.

"Grandma, are you should you will be okay driving all the way back to California with Sokka." She asked.

"What are you saying, Katara?" Sokka asked sarcastically.

"Katara, we will be fine; you should hurry and go or you will miss your plane." Gran-Gran said and kissed Katara on the cheek.

"Bye, Grandma." Katara said and watched Sokka drive away.

"We better get going; my Uncle and my sister arealready on the plane." Zuko said grabbing the big bag and started walking toward the entrance toward the plane. Katara grabbed her bag a caught up to him.

"Your uncle's name is Iroh and your sister's name is Zularight?" She asked unsure.

"Yeah." He said. For the rest of the trip up to the plane they walked in silence that is until someone called. Katara cell phone went off singing 'My Boo'. Katara opened her cell phone and said "Hello."

"Hi, Katara."

"Hi, Jet."

"When are you coming home? I'm bored here and there is a party I want to go to."

"If you're bored, then go to the party." She said.

"I wanted to take you, so I can should you off to my friends. Once I do that they will be so jealous that you are my girlfriend." He stated.

"Is that all I am to do? A thing to show off, to your friends?" Katara asked, now getting angry. Zuko wasn't trying to listen to her conversation, but she was walking next to him.

"Yes and No; because once they see your video they are going to be all over you. So when I go to parties and I bring you with me they will be jealous and then they will have to pay more attention to me." He said.

"Once again, this is all about you. How come you can't just invite me to a party and be there with me just to be there with me; I don't like being a thing to showoff." She said now angry.

"I don't know! You know what Katara why are you having such a damn fit about it! I don't have to take your ass anywhere!" He said, yelling. Katara had enough of him and hanged up in his face.

"Is everything okay?" Zuko asked now concerned.

"Yeah, it was just my stupid boyfriend." She said, her voice shaky, like she wanted to cry. Zuko could tell that this Jet person was hurting Katara and he hated seeing Katara like this. They finally made it to the plane and they got on it. They had first class all to themselves. Katara said that Zuko didn't have to pay for her ticket, but he insisted.

Katara walked past Uncle Iroh, Zulaand sat behindthem and sat in the window seat. Zuko put Katara's luggage in the compartment above him and sat next to his uncle.

"Zuko, is everything okay with, what's her name, oh yeah Katara?"Zula asked.

"She tells me everything is okay, but I don't believe it." Zuko replied. The plane took off and they were now three hours into flight. It would take three days to get to California and the sun was setting. Uncle Iroh was enjoying himself. He was drinking his favorite tea and was playing Pai Sho with, his sister Zula. But Zuko was worried about Katara; he hadn't heard a peep out of her, since they got on the plane.

"If you're worried about Katara, then why don't you check on her." Zula said as she smiled evilly and Uncle Iroh grinned. Zuko got up and went one seat behind him and he saw that Katara was sleeping, but he could tell she had been crying. He really hated seeing her like this.

Zuko thought's

"Man she is beautiful, if I knew who this Jet person was I would knock some sense in him. I wish she was my girlfriend. What! She has a boyfriend and what am I thinking. She is fourteen and I am sixteen. Beside if we ever get together, she wouldn't love me once she finds out about my secret." Zuko lifted his hand and stroked her soft, tear-stained cheek.

Zuko was about to leave, but he saw Katara's little notepad. He picked it up and read it.

Note ask Zuko about this song I wrote,

Shake it off

Chorus

I gotta shake it off

Cause the loving ain't the same

And you keep on playing games

Like you know I'm here to stay

I gotta shake, shake it off

Just like the Calgon commercial

I really gotta get up outta here

And go somewhere

I gotta shake it off

Gotta make that move

Find somebody who

Appreciates all the love I give

Boy I gotta shake, shake it off

Gotta do what's best for me

Baby and that means I gotta

Shake it off

1st verse

By the time you get this message

It's gonna be too late

So don't bother paging me

Cause I'll be on my way

See I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes

Just ask your momma she knows

You're gonna miss me baby

Hate to say I told you so

Well at first I didn't know

But now it's clear to me

You would cheat with all your freaks

And lie compulsively

So I packed up my Louis Vuitton

Jumped in your ride and took off

You'll never ever find a girl

Who loves you more than me

Zuko closed the notebook and put it back where he found it. He smiled to himself, because he figured that Katara was going to break up with Jet and this song was dedicated to him. He got up and went back to his seat. He also wondered if Jet knew about Katara's appearance on the show and the music video. "This is only the start, Katara." Zuko whispered.


What do you think of this chapter? Well? This is the longest chapter I wrote. All the other chapters for my other fan fictions have been shorter. Do you guys remember a show called Lamchops? Well, I went to Knott's Scary Farm and bought a stuff animal of her. If you haven't heard of it, then oh well. I do not own Shake it Off, by Mariah Carey or 106 & Park. Please read and review.
