Disclaimer: I own nothing.
This is the continuation of the previous chapter since everyone wanted it. Oh, I had fun making this.
Katara was having a wonderful dream.
She couldn't remember it all. But it had something to do with exotic fruits and penguins. For some odd reason...
But she did remember there was a guy in it. A really handsome guy. She never saw his face... but she did remember running into his arms and having a happily ever after. And that where the weird fruits and penguins mixed in. Somewhere along there.
It was still to early in the morning for her to wake up, but when she felt something brush against her butt...she immediately woke up.
Cracking open her blue eyes she still saw blackness...that was strange.
Finally she realized that this was not her sleeping bag. It was far to soft and warm...and it was breathing.
Oh no...Oh Spirits no...
But to her confirmation she had fallen asleep on top of Zuko.
Don't the Spirits just love her?
Her face was buried in his chest and her hand was on his chest, another near his neck. Moving her head up she was able to see just how close they really were. Barely a few inches separated their lips and she quickly tensed up. In shock, she squirmed just the tiniest bit.
Which was just great. Just fabulous, with Zuko being a light sleeper and all.
As soon as felt something on top him move, his opened his eyes and did something else.
His hand which was snaked around Katara's waist automatically pulled down near his body, which of course slammed her closer to his surprise. With a small scream she felt herself get pulled closer and her lips just had to land on his. Just had to.
Zuko was in complete shock when all this happened, and it had all happened way to fast for his body to even process it all out. All he knew was that he had awaken from a very pleasant dream and know his lips were plastered to something. After he blinking he realized just what that something was.
Oh Agni. It was Katara.
They hesitated for a moment, staring into each other's eyes. The accidental kiss lingered for a few moments, both not sure what they were supposed to do. Finally they pulled apart, scrambling away from each other. Both with red hot cheeks they were only able to stutter out unintelligible words, blinking at what just happened.
Katara quickly stood up but as soon as she did, she tripped. Of course, Zuko's foot just had to be on her skirt. Just had to. She gave another small scream as she was lunged forward straight for the firebender. He caught her with ease, both still blushing. As she landed in his lap, his eyes grew wide. Catching her bridal style, one hand on her back and one under her legs, she looked up at him.
A loud maniacal laughter from a certain earth bender rang through the camp as well as the aged chuckle from the Dragon of the West. The Avatar desperately tried to hush them, but the two would just not shut up. They had scene everything. The awakening, the kiss, the fall, the catch, and now the blushes.
All of them. Including Sokka.
When the two heard the laughs, they were both nearly scared to death. Turning their heads as their hearts were ready to jump out, their eyes landed on the others in the camp. Oh, this could not end well There was nothing else that they wished for more to just disappear and shrink away. But of course the staring eyes were thinking something else otherwise.
"You know what? I'm going to forget this happened. I know I'm going to have nightmares about this with evil Fire Nation babies and crazy stuff attacking me, but I'll take care of this in the morning...I did not get enough sleep for this mess..."
Sokka stated this with a forced tone, hiding his groaning head under his pillow.
Toph just had to speak out. Just had to add her own opinion.
"Oh Sokka. I bet you would have had enough sleep if you slept just as well as Zuko. I'm pretty sure he was smiling in his sleep while he was holding Katara and stroking her hair..."
Thanks to his good sleep, Zuko was able to run away from Sokka's deadly weapons in the end.

Ending's a little weak and it ended up being pretty long, I guess it's OK.
Not the best, not that great, just OK. Ah well.
Review, please!
EDIT: uffda1nat gave me a some good advice, so I listened. Thanks for the review and help! Tweaked the ending for you a little bit.
