:D Things are about it get a whole lot more crazy. Get ready for some twist and turns, ok, maybe not so much now as later.


Zuko pulled up to some restaurant that Katara couldn't even pronounce. She would admit she was very nervous; she wasn't one to go out to places like this one, much less with some banker's nephew. She got out of the car, collecting her thoughts and hopes that she won't completely screw everything up, or something didn't go horribly wrong. But she had a grave feeling something would, and she was beginning to want the evening over with he took hold of Zuko's arm. He got them seats and they sat down, ordering some drinks.

"So what to you think?" Zuko asked.

"Its lovely, I didn't know it was here." Katara lied, for she knew it was here, but it was never much for her to walk in there and eat, she lived like everyone else. "Are you sure it's not too much?"

"Its fine Katara, I have way more then enough money for you to get what ever you like." Katara was shocked, he was rich like her. "What shocked?"

"Slightly yes, I mean I know your uncle is rich, and lawyers make good money."

"My father's crimes caught up to him, and his rotting away in some prison, I don't know, I don't really see him anymore. Sisters in the crazy house, that I happy about, she was a demon beyond all means."

"The scar, how did you get it, your sister?"

"No, child abuse, my father got made when I was thirteen and well now I have this lovely scar. I've lived with my uncle ever since."

"Oh, sorry about that, guess I don't know what that's like." Katara said before drowning the comment with some red wine.

"What's with Aang?"

"Excuse me?" Katara almost choked on her drink.

"I mean what's your relationship with him. He said you insisted on him living with you."

"Oh, he's a friend, and a live saver, that's what my brother calls him. See I was a crazy mess before meeting him, and he kinda put him back on the right path. Of course he was hurt by his…um…past and I told him to live with me. Aang's just a friend though."

"Well that's nice of you. You're like a pound or something."

"You make it sound worse then it is, it's the only real way I can pay him back." Katara said getting awkward on the subject of Aang.

Their food came and Katara was glad for that, because it toke Zuko's mind away from the subject of Aang. Other talk came up and Katara found the food was good, but it still didn't have the special taste she could get at some Ma and Pa restaurant down the street. The meal was hardly filling either, but all together it was a lot nicer than she thought.

Zuko took her home, and she hadn't notice how late it was. It was only minutes till midnight, and Zuko kissed her forehead before bidding her good night. She watched him drive off, and she dragged herself off to her bed. Undoing her long brown hair, and put on comfortable pj's . She curled up, thinking over the night it wasn't bad, and Zuko seemed to care about her. Maybe just one more date would be nice, see how that went and go from there.


It had been two months, to very nice months of seeing someone and not having her heart ripped out. Katara had found Zuko charming and sweet. The second date had proven that, and lead to a third, fourth and so on. She was waiting for the first month for Zuko to turn around and say something about what she had but he didn't and she gave him a chance. He spoiler her, and slowly she wasn't labeled as a single anymore.

The two went everywhere and anywhere. Aang seemed slightly edge when Zuko was around but he learned to hide it well for both of them. Sokka and Toph were some what happy, yet somewhat shocked. They always though she would end up pecking at Aang's cheek or lips, making jokes and laughing with him not with this Zuko person.

However Katara was happy and they were happy, and Aang and Katara were still friends, they just saw less and less of each other. Aang was going out more with Appa, and it wasn't unusual for Katara to see him getting tackled by Appa in the park. Zuko couldn't help but laugh at the relationship between man and dog.

"I'm home!" Katara yelled into the house as Appa came running. She took her shoes off for she had gone to the park with Zuko, liking the nice March weather.

"How was it?" Aang asked popping his out from some doorway.

"It was nice." Katara said walking over to him. "Where are Toph and Sokka?"

"They left an hour ago, something was going on, had to leave." Aang said with a smile.

"Oh, well, I guess they had to then."

"Katara?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you think about Zuko?"

"He's nice, and sweet. He actually cares for me, and worries about me too. He's afraid you'll do something to me." Katara said with a smile laugh and Aang's face fell. "But I know you won't."

"Just be careful." Aang said softly.

"I am, Aang, I really am, stop worrying."

"I'm not worrying Katara, I'm concerned."

"You're jealous." Katara said turning around and smirking at him. "You're completely and utterly jealous that I found someone."

"I'm not jealous."

"Oh, you are so jealous." Katara laughed as she said it.

"Prove it." Aang snapped.

"You don't like him, you tell me to always be careful, you're always home before I am, and you edge when his in the house." Katara counted them out on her fingers.

"Ok, so maybe I am jealous. Katara, he's all you talk about, it's just him, I miss talking to you about things. Its him, him, him, and I'm fine as long as you're happy but I miss how we use to be."

"Aang, we're friends for god's sake. You make it sound like were married and are trying to get our broken marriage back together or something. Aang, I like him, he makes me feel special."

"That's not the problem; something about him really bothers me."

"He's taking me away from you, that's why you don't like him."

"Lust and love are two very different emotions."

"What are you talking about?"

"Does he love you or are you just some tool in his?"

"I can't talk to you Aang."

"Answer the God damn question Katara!" Aang said firmly.

"I don't know, ok, Aang, I really don't know, and I don't care."

"Trust me Katara, you care!"

"I don't care! Now excuse me, I would like to go to my room and think."

"Friends do things for a reason, even when it hurts. I should know, I lost one when he helped me."

"I'm not you Aang!" Katara yelled before slamming some random door shut.

Why was she feeling so torn, so confused? She was questioning every word she told Aang, was it the truth or something she blurted out to get him of her case. He's words were so strong, so bold, he knew what he was talking about, she didn't. She wanted to hug and slap him all at the same time; she also wanted to do the same to Zuko.

Katara wasn't use to this kinda stuff, she never was and she probably never would be.


Yes, this is a major Kataang vs. Zutara part of the story. Its me things will get better after this. Please review.
