A/N Hi! Sorry if I hadn't updated for a while! Got a bit sidetracked with videos! Hehehheheh….well here's the next chapter! Ah yes, and if some of you are wondering, why is Zuko acting not like snobby brat and more like a fluffy nice guy? Well, after he got his ship blown up, I think he changed a bit…..but seriously, I don't think he's a fluffy nice guy, Zuko will always be the angst filled teen we all love!

Disclaimer: I do not and will not own Avatar!

The night wore on as the festivities ceased, bring the celebration to a close and couples into their houses. Zuko and Katara walked back to the city, hand in hand. Once at the healer's building, Zuko suddenly spun around Katara and kissed her on the lips, leaving her to blush wildly. "Tonight, was great…." He whispered, sending heart melting shivers down her spine. "Yeah, it was, I loved it…." She said, as gently as he did.

The two snuck back in and said their goodnights. As soon as Katara heard him turn off the lamp in his room, she pulled out a little scroll, that she kept in her pack. In this scroll, she wrote down the days events, much like a journal, or a diary.

Tonight was the best, Ba Sing Se had to be the best city in the world! Aside from the south pole of course. How I miss Gran-Gran, now that I think about it. Anyways, back to the dance, I loved the dance, but what I loved the most was the guy that escorted me, Zuko. He is such a, how should I say this, a hard to reach person. Well, I guess what I mean is, he's hard to understand, I still don't know his past, only his uncle. I hope someday, I could learn too….

-Katara.

------------------

"Princess Azula!" A guard saluted.

"You may speak freely."

"We just discovered the Avatar just south of Ba Sing Se! What do you wish to do?"

"Hmmm, chart a course to him, he won't get away this time…." Azula smirked and chuckled softly.

------------------

Iroh decided, it would be best for them to stay in Ba Sing Se, just until the war was over and hopefully, Aang defeated the Fire Lord.

Katara changed back into her old clothes and returned the dress she wore last night at the dance. As she headed back, she heard someone calling her name.

She turned around and realized it was Haru.

"Haru!" Katara gladly hugged him, thankful for a buddy to hang out with. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I'm here as a refugee, the village I lived in wasn't safe anymore, it was being used for as a soldier's refugee, so we had to leave." Haru explained.

"Oh, that's terrible!" Katara exclaimed as she hugged him one more time.

"I know, so anyways, what are you doing here? Where's Aang and your brother?" Haru asked her.

"Oh," she paused and said, "I left them, they thought I was holding them down, so I separated myself from those two."

"Oh, so are you traveling alone then?" He asked.

Katara hesitated and answered no.

"Well, want to go hang out?" Haru asked.

"Sure, I'd like that." Katara smiled and followed Haru around the huge town.

------------------------

"Where is she?" Zuko wondered as he wandered in and out of the town. Soon as he finished checking the dress shop, he heard someone calling out his name. He turned around and saw Song running up to him. "Song! What are you doing here?" He gave a friendly hug as he saw her.

"I'm a refugee here, fire nation burned down my home." She replied sadly. "So, what are you doing here Lee?"

Zuko was confused for a while and remembered that he called himself in front of her. "Oh right, I'm Lee." He blushed a bit at his mistake. Song giggled.

"I'm here as a refugee too, my uncle figured that we should stay here until the Avatar won the war."

"So, are you and your uncle traveling together still?" Song asked.

Zuko lied and replied back, "Yeah." He didn't want to let Song know about Katara, he could tell she would be heart broken.

"So, want to…..ummm….hang out?" Song blushed a bit at the comment she asked him.

"I guess…"

"Great!" She dragged him along by the wrist around town.

-------------------

Haru hid something behind his back as he approached Katara. "A flower for the lady." Haru bowed.

"Oh! It's beautiful!" Katara took the lily from the his hands and smelled it. "Not as beautiful as you." Haru said, pouring on his charms.

Katara blushed as he took the flower from her hands and fastened it in her hair. "Perfect."

She giggled as he took around to more places. By the time they were done, it was soon nightfall. "Thanks Haru, I had a great time." Katara said. "Glad you did."

She turned to leave when he twirled her around and almost kissed her. Because of all the agility she gained, she quickly turned her head so that he kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry, I can't Haru, I mean, we're just friends…."

"Right, friends." Haru said, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"I'm sorry, but I did have a great time, truly." Katara said, smiling.

"Bye, Haru! See you tomorrow!" She waved good bye at him as she dashed away.

------------------

"I had a great time Lee." Song said, as they walked down the alley that lead to the refugee camps.

"Me too." He smiled.

A silence engulfed them. Suddenly, Song moved closer to him, unaware of what he was doing, he made no attempt to push her away.

------------------

Katara smiled and walked towards the healer's building to rest for the night, as she passed a alley, she saw two figures. Thinking it was someone else, she passed, but before she got out of hearing range, she heard Zuko's voice.

She hid behind the building and listened closely.

"I had a great time Lee."

"Me too."

Katara peeked from the side of the building and got into a state of shock. It was Zuko, with another girl. She knew that she went out with Haru, but still, at least she made an action to push him away!

Zuko looked like he was going to kiss her. As they got closer, Katara couldn't take it. She bursted out and whispered his name.

"Z…Zuko? How could y…you…" Katara couldn't help shedding tears, he….left her.

"Katara, this isn't what it looks like…"

Katara filled with rage and sadness, she stuttered out, "S….save it! Th….that's what they all s…say!" She bursted with tears and ran as far as she could away from the two.

She ran all the way to the entrance of the city and to the fountain, where last night, Zuko and her, kissed.

Sitting down at the edge of the fountain, she cried over it, creating ripples that shook the smooth layer of water.

She ran her hand over the top of the water, gently, bring her hand up with a sliver of water.

--------------------

"Zuko? Lee, do you know her? Why did she call you Zuko? Who is she?" Song questioned him.

He sighed in frustration and said, "Fine do you want to know the truth? She called me Zuko, cause, I'm the prince of the fire nation, that girl was the only one that ever saw the real me, and bypassed the title I have."

Song stared at him as he finished the sentence. "Y….you're the prince of the fire nation?" She stuttered out, making some room between them. "Yes, I am."

"Then who was she? Your concubine or something?"

"No, she's Katara….the girl that I love." Zuko started out of the alley and stopped when he heard Song following him. "Song, I like as a friend, not anything else, I'm sorry."

He heard her sigh, "I understand…" She turned to leave.

Zuko ran towards the healer's house and saw her bed empty, with a note. "No…"

He ran over and picked up the note and read.

Zuko….I'm sorry that I even loved you. I understand if you didn't want to be with me. By the time you read this, I'll be long gone. Don't bother coming after me, I hope tat our paths won't cross again.

-Katara

He saw little places where the paper was crinkled and where the ink blotched. Zuko looked towards his room and saw Iroh shaking his head slowly.

"Zuko, I can't believe….you did that….just like your father…." Iroh sighed and went into his bed.

He rushed back outside, clutching the note tightly in his fist. The cold night air biting at his face, as he rushed to the fountain. The only thing he saw, was the necklace he made for her, on the edge of the fountain. (A/N Yeah I know I never mentioned him giving a necklace to her, but it made things more dramatic, so yeah, he gave it to her when I wasn't looking. XDD)

Zuko took the necklace gently in his hand and stroked the purple pendant that had fire and water nation symbols engraved in it.

I'm sorry…Katara…..

A/N I know most of you must hate me for

Not a lot of Zutara fluff

Making Haru make a move on Katara

Making that preppy Song come back and almost kissing Zuko

Making Zuko look like the bad guy (for you fan girls)

Making it look like the story ended. (which it didn't)

Don't worry, this marks the end of part 2, part three will maybe consist of 10 chapters? At the least 7 and at the most……14. Gotta be sure on that one.

R&R!
