Disclaimer: I own nothing.

This is NOT a challenge. Just something short I really wanted to write. I promise, I'll get to atleast one of the challenges today. I promise.

deliberate mistake: Yeah, sorry it wasn't my best. It was hard. And actually he isn't really "trapped". The ditch was supposed to be symbolic and metaphorically speaking. I apoligize for not making that clear.

TimeStream: Oh crap. So I lost, huh? Aw, that's too bad. Maybe I'll make my own little community. My Zutara filled mind WANTS me too, but yeah, I'm somewhat lazy right now. xD Thanks for the love, though!

So some of you guys liked that chapter? Hm. Wow. Interesting. Well, thanks for all the reviews! It really means a lot to me.


"Hey Zuko?"

Katara placed one hand on her hip, jogging up to the firebender. A small smile rested on her lips at she stood next to him. He stopped and raised an eyebrow at her. Zuko had a feeling the smile on her face, was somehow evil. And going to end up bad. It always did. Thank Agni it was a pretty smile...

"So Zuko...your strong right?"

The firebender shrugged, "I guess so..."

The waterbender grinned and began to walk around him, poking him in various places. The muscles on his arm, his calf muscles, a few times on his firm chest, and a couple times on his back. Zuko gave a small noise of confusion as he watched Katara do...whatever she was doing.

"Okay! You will do."

"For what?!"

Without hesitation Katara was behind him and had her arms on his shoulder. Jumping on to his back, she giggled. Zuko had no choice but to grab her legs to keep her from falling back. He stammered and stuttered out words, surprised by her actions. A blush crept across his face as he stood there, while Katara placed her hands on his head.

"W-w-what...what are you doing?!"

"Nothing, why do you ask?"

"You do know, that I could just drop you?"

"Then why don't you?"

He didn't answer that question, or the heat in his cheeks would be noticeable from a mile away.

So as he gave Katara her 'piggy-back ride', she smiled like the mad woman she was the entire way.

And he actually didn't mind. Not one bit.
