Katara woke up with a splitting headache. Dazed and confused about where she was.

"Good morning, I thought that you would never wake up!" A cheery voice echoed.

Fully conscience now, she turned her head to the kitchen to see Zuko, grinning.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"You mean you don't remember?"

Katara suddenly realized that she couldn't remember anything from last night.

"No" it came out as a wisper, the embarrasment clear.

"Well, after your very exciting night out, I decided that you shouldn't be left alone. So, I walked you home. Just to find out that you lost your keys. Figuring that Toph wouldn't want to be woken up and neither Sokka nor Aang would want you crashing in one of their beds. I brought you here to my apartment. Since there's only one bedroom, you crashed on the very cumfy couch." His voice was as smug as ever on that last sentence.

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be, you made last night a very interesting evening." ;)

She felt her face heating up, her cheeks were a cherry red colour over how much she was blushing.

"What did I do?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Was it that bad?"

"Well, you were a total rockstar at the pub. Dancing on the tables, singing your heart out, you even had quite a fanclub. But that wasn't even the worst part."

Can't the earth just swallow me whole right now?

Despite the look on her face, he just went on, unfazed.

"No, when we came here... you starting telling me your whole life story. Well, at least everything that happened after the war ended. You deciding to not follow Aang, career wise nor relationship wise. And then going through everything just to regret that decision."

"I'm sorry that I put you through that."

"Like I said, don't be. Except that one time you tried to suduce me, it wasn't that bad."

Now Katara really felt her face lighting up, but Zuko just shrugged it off.

"Omg, what am I going to tell the others?!" the realisation dawned on her.

"Nothing, I already told them that you lost your keys last night, so you crashed here and woke up with a cold. Then I volunteerd to look after you while they go out for the day."

Katara looked at him, flabbergasted. She didn't expect him to be so kind to her after last night.

He must have seen the look in her eyes because he quickly added,

"Now we can spend the whole day together while I grill you about yesterday, I mean I'm usually the akward one, so this will be fun. And after that it will be forgotten, as if it never happened."

She looked at him grateful.

"Thank you, you are a really great friend."

A/N:

Wow, who thought that I would come this far? I'm thinking that there will be three more chapters. And since this is my first story on FanFic, I would love it if you could RR.

Remember: I do not own ATLA.
