"What are you doing here, all alone?"

Zuko looked up, glaring at Katara who was now sitting beside him under the tall tree.

"Trying to be alone. Until you came."

He put a hand over his eyes as the sun beamed down on them, beating them mercilessly with hot sun rays. She smiled at him, ignoring the look he was giving her.

"What are you so happy about?"

He leaned a little more against the bark of the tree, as he said these words to her, and she did nothing but smile. Shaking his head, he rested an elbow on his knee, as she scooted closer to him.

A giggle escaped her lips.

He raised a eyebrow.

She poked him in the stomach.

Out of nowhere, she started laughing out loud.

"What is so funny?! What's wrong with you?!"

Shaking her head that trembled with laughter, she pointed at his face. Zuko gave her a questioningly look, wondering if she had gone insane.

After taking deep breaths and placing a hand to her chest, she was finally able to breath again. Smiling, she looked up at Zuko and told him calmly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just I haven't laughed in so long, I feel the need to do so."

She apologized, her eyes casted downward. But quickly she looked back up, a playful look in her eyes and a smile on her lips.

"And you look so funny! You're just so serious all the time! I've only seen you laugh...like once...for maybe five seconds."

He shrugged, leaning a little more against the tree. She sighed, leaning the tree like he did.

Picking at the grass, then examining her nails, fiddling with her thumbs, and pulling at a loose string on her clothes, Zuko watched it all.

"Can you sit still, at all?"

"Yes! Watch. I'll be just like you, boring and dull."

Bringing her knees to her chest she sighed and hugged them, placing a blank expression on her face. A stone cold face replaced her smile, and she boringly stared out into space.

Zuko watched it all, the smile on his lips growing by the second. She looked so...miserable. And he found it hilarious, how the most powerful waterbender in the world can't even stand to be quiet and still for a few minutes.

Pretty soon, he started laughing.

First it was a chuckle. Then under his breath. Until he could hardly stand it any longer.

Bursting out laughing, she turned her head and raised an eyebrow. This time it was his turn to laugh like crazy while she was left confused.

"Stop laughing at me!"

Between breaths and laughs, he yelled back at her.

"You look so depressing! It's pathetic!"

Katara watched as he continued laughing, holding his side as he hit the ground with his fists. His face turned red with the laughter, until it had gotten so out of controllable, he hit the back of his head against the tree with a loud thud!

Sitting in silence for a few moments while he sat there rubbing the back of his head and Katara staring at him as if he was crazy. (Watching Zuko laugh like that, had put her in a state of shock and fascination.)

In fact, she found his smile and his laugh, all quite cute and charming.

But she was never going to tell him that, at least not at that very moment.

So instead, she decided to make fun of his clumsiness.

Pulling her head back, she gave a roar of laughter, as she pointed a finger at him.

He glared at her, still rubbing his head.

While she was laughing, she gave a loud snort.

Gasping, she smacked both her hands over her mouth in surprise by her actions and embaressed.

Zuko stared at her, his golden eyes carefully watching her every movement. The hand on the back of his head slid down, as his mouth parted and formed a smile. The sun still beamed against them, it's harsh rays still pounding against the delicate earth.

In fact, he found that little snort thing and her giggles, quite cute.

But he was never going to tell her that. She'd probably die laughing at him for that.

So instead, he decided to make fun of her silly actions.

Pointing fingers at each other, they both began to laughing, holding their sides. As their rib cages felt like cracking, and their sides were about to explode, they held on to each for support. Katara was on her side, burrowing her laughing smile in his chest; as she trembled with the giggles. Tears formed on her face from the complete insanity of it all. Zuko placed a hand on her head that was on his chest, laughing also with her.

After minutes had passed and the sun grew higher in the distance, they were still laughing.

And they had no idea why. They had even forgotten the whole reason why they were laughing in the first place. But that didn't bother them one bit, or ruin the moment.

So they laughed like little children, who had grown up to fast, and were only now, making the memories that would last them forever.
