Chapter 14: Christmas Eve Part 2
They all left the hotel and went to local mall that was open and it was crawling with people.
"Great long lines, pushing, people walking into you and this really sounds fun." Zuko said being sarcastic.
"For once I agree with Zuko." Sokka said.
"Don't be a party pooper." Zula said. Zuko and Katara were disguised, so people wouldn't know who they were. Zula grabbed Katara's hand and they vanished into the crowd. Uncle Iroh and Sokka went their way and poor Zuko was left all by himself. With a 'Humph' he went his separate way.
Zuko had already gotten everyone, there presents, but he couldn't figure out what to get Katara. He had only a few hours left to shop.
"This is why I hate Christmas." Zuko said, as he walked into Kay Jewelers.
"Hi. Do you need any help?" asked the person.
"Yes, I do…" Zuko said and look at the woman's name tag. "Yeah, I do Ms. Bella."
"Just call me Bella." Bella said and Zuko nodded.
"What is it that you are looking for?" She asked.
"Well, I am looking for a gift for my girlfriend and I have no clue of what to get her." He said.
"Is she really special to you?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Then I suggest that you get her ring." Bella said.
"A ring?"
"Yes, but it is not an ordinary ring. It is like an engagement ring, but for people who are dating or going out." She said and pulled a box out. "There are two rings in here one for you and one for her. When you both wear these rings then is shows that you are meant to be together."
"Can I have the rings in real gold and have the rings say 'I live for Katara and I live for Zuko?" He asked.
"Su- your Zuko and Katara is your girlfriend?" Bella asked.
"Yes, but please don't tell anyone." He said.
"Sure, your rings will be ready thirty minutes." Bella said.
After five hours of shopping, it was time to go back to the hotel. When they got to the hotel, everyone went to their rooms and began to wrap their presents. After an hour of doing just that they met up in Zuko's suite and put the presents under the Christmas tree. They were having a small Christmas party and everybody was happy. Sokka was stuck playing Pai Sho, Zula was talking Gran-Gran. Zuko had pulled Katara to the side and started talking to her.
"Here, Katara." Zuko said and handed her a small present. Katara took it and smiled.
"Thank you Zuko, but do you want me to open it now?" She asked.
"Yes." He said.
"Katara open the small gift and smiled. She pulled out the rings and read it out loud.
"2 Katara, I live for you and 2 Zuko, I live for you." She read. Zuko took his version of the ring and put it on his wedding finger and did the same for Katara. Before he knew it, she was crying.
"You don't like it?" He asked.
"No, I love it. I cry because I like you so much." She said and hugged Zuko. Zuko returned the hug. They stayed like that for a couple minutes and then they looked at each other.
"Zuko." Katara said.
"Yes."
"I make a vow. I promise that this ring will never leave myhand." She said. He smiled and kissed her passionately. They went back into house (they were on the balcony) and joined the party.
