AN: Just a stupid little drabble I wrote because I felt like it. Zutara if you think about it enough. I own nothing you recognize from your tv screens!

At the Western Air Temple

"Okay, we are gathered here today to talk about Zuko."

"Woah Katara, just 'cause you have a crush on him doesn't mean we all do. Some of us don't spend every waking hour thinking and talking about him."

"Sokka! Wha-"

"Katara, do you...like Zuko? Should we talk about your feelings?"

"No, Dad. I do NOT have a crush on Zuko!"

"Are you su-"

"Teo, if Katara says she doesn't like Zuko, we should believe her."

"Thanks, Aang. Anyway, as I was saying. We need to talk about how suspicious Zuko is."

"Suspicious? He helped me get dad, Suki, and uh, Chit Sang out of the Boiling Rock. He's clear in my book."

"I'm with Sokka. Thanks to Zuko, I don't have to be tortured by his wack sister anymore."

"Yeah, well...that's what he wants you to think! He's just trying to get on your good side, so that he can backstab you later. And Sokka! Chew with your mouth closed."

"Um, Katara? I kind of like Zuko. He went to the Sun Warriors with me and the dragons said they liked him."

"Wait wait wait. The dragons spoke? You told us you danced with them, but you never told us you also had a conversation!"

"No, they didn't speak, Sokka. They just judged him. By looking at him."

"Well, I've looked at him a lot and judged him. And I think he's guilty!"

"Guilty of what?"

"More importantly, Sugar Queen, why have you 'looked at him a lot'?"

"I- it was- not important! He's guilty of something, I can see it on his face. Toph, what do you think? He burned you, did you forget?"

"No, I remember. It really messed up my seeing abilities for a few days. But he didn't mean to do it, and he was really sorry. I could tell."

"No! He's a great liar. Just like his sister. His sister could lie without you knowing, and so can he! Probably."

"Katara, he's an awful liar. He tried to tell me that he didn't practice his 'Hello, Zuko here.' speech but he was literally trembling and sweating."

"Wait, he practiced that? Wow."

"Right? It's kinda sad becau-"

"Guys, stop getting off track! As we speak, Zuko is probably plotting our deaths. He's gonna turn on us any moment and we have to be prepared."

"Prepared for what?"

"EEK."

"Why is she running away? Did I say something wrong?"

"Nah, Zuko. She's just weird."

"Oh. Well, I'm gonna go and try to help her with dinner. See you."

"Make sure you don't poison it or anything!"

"Um. What?"

"Never mind, get lost."

"Now that they're both gone, can we talk about how much tension there is between them?"

"Tension? You mean because of how much they hate each other?"

"No, Twinkletoes. Because of how much they like each other."

"That doesn't make any sense!"

"Oh, poor Aang. But I agree with you there, Toph. Katara seems to be watching Zuko pretty closely."

"Thanks, Fan Girl. Now, what are we gonna do about it?"

"Why would we do anything about it?"

"Because, Avatar. Those two are far too thick-headed to actually do anything about it themselves."

"Do anything about what, Toph? I'm so confused!"

At the Western Air Temple a day or two later

"Hey everyone. Um, sorry to bother you guys, since I'm sure you guys are very, uh, busy."

"Yeah, we are, Zuko. I was in the middle of lunch so you better have a really good reason for dragging us out here. And where's Katara? How come she doesn't have to be here?"

"Sweetie, that was your third lunch of the day. I'm sure you can pause for a minute to listen to Zuko."

"Right. Sorry about that, Sokka. And the reason Katara isn't here is because I need to talk to you guys about her."

"Hmmm, is that why Chief Hakoda isn't here either? Good thinking, Sunshine, overprotective dads are scary."

"Sunshine? And uh, yeah, that's why. Look, she hates me and all I'm trying to do is help her. You guys know her the best, how can I prove to her that I'm not going to betray her?"

"Kiss her senseless."

"WHAT?"

"WHAT?"

"WHAT?"

"You better not kiss my sister, Zuko. That's gross!"

"Sokka, you do a lot of kissing with Suki, so it's probably not that gross."

"That's not what I mean, Aang! And bro code? Come on, man, we don't talk about that stuff in public!"

"Calm down, people! It was just a suggestion. Although, I think Zuko's heart rate is jumping for a very different reason from Sokka and Aang."

"I, uh, I don't know what you're talking about. But I need real suggestions. I've tried helping her cook, but she just holds a knife really close to my face until I leave."

"I cannot imagine Katara doing that."

"Okay, Suki, maybe you'd like to come with me the next time I go to the kitchen? Then you can see how terrifying she is."

"Nope, I'm good, thanks."

"Yeah, that's what I thought. She also threatened my life as soon as I settled in my room. I just want to walk around this temple without fearing that she's gonna lop my head off with an ice disk."

"Are you sure that's all you want, Sunshine? How about a girlfriend?"

"Um…"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Twinkletoes, you just don't get it, do you?"

"Get what?"

"Guys! Please. What do I do? I've also tried helping her with laundry, but she only makes me do Sokka's socks and I'm sick of it. They stink!"

"Hey, get off my case! My socks smell fine."

"Sokka. I wash them. And I'm telling you, I have come this close to passing out while doing that."

"Yeah, that is really cruel of Katara. And seriously, Sokka, I'm worried about you. You need to take care of your feet better."

"Zuko, have you considered talking to her?"

"Have I considered talking to her? Yeah. Yeah, I've considered that, when I'm feeling really self-destructive. What part of, 'Katara will not hesitate to kill me if I come within five feet of her' do you all not understand?"

"I'd say you're exaggerating, but I've seen her get mad. It's almost scarier than Aang's Avatar State. And I like you, so it would suck if my sister decided to bloodbend you or something."

"I'm sorry, WHAT-BEND ME? DID YOU SAY BLOODBEND? WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?"

"What. Is. Going. On. Here."

"Uh, hey, Katara."

"Don't 'hey, Katara' me. Are you trying to incite rebellion amongst my friends?"

"Katara, what are you talking about? Zuko was just-"

"Not now, Aang. Zuko! Why were you making that gesture at Aang? Are you threatening to cut his head off?"

"Katara, Zuko was just telling Aang to shut up. It's no big deal, sis!"

"How dare you tell Aang to shut up? I'll shut you up permanently, you moron! Yeah, you better run!"

"Katara. Chill out. Zuko wasn't doing anything devious."

"Don't tell me to chill out, Sokka! I want you all to stay away from him, okay? I'm gonna keep an eye on him."

"Oh, so you want him all to yourself? Fine, I guess a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do."

"Toph, no!"
