So I've written two oneshots (not zutara, oh my!), and I'm rather proud of them. Will you take a look? One is 'Fans and Flames: A Lost Battle'; It's about the fight between Suki and Azula. The second one is, 'A Game For Two': It's total onesided kataangst. It's a different style of writing, but it's okay. Just visit my profile to find them.

So here's something that crossed my mind a long time ago.

To Zuko's discomfort, he found out that Jet likes to talk.

A lot.

On that boat to Ba Sing Se, he could have sworn his ears were going to bleed by the time they made it. Sitting with those 'Freedom Fighters', he just merely listened. What was most uncomfortable, was Jet's topic choice.

The Avatar.

And not just the Avatar himself, but his companions.

But more specifically, female companion.

The leader of the misfits, Jet, explained and told everything. About how they attacked the Fire Nation camp single handedly, which made Zuko frown, and then about how the Avatar and his two friends happened to show up and be their little "distraction".

When the two older boys were along, at night, just being teenagers, he managed to slip a little detail to Zuko.

Something about how, well, pretty the waterbender was.

Katara? Yeah, that was her name.

Zuko choked on his rice at that very comment. Yes he did.

Then he explained how he nearly had her all to himself, his very own damsel in distress. He had her wrapped around his finger, and he found her very cute, and well, he liked her. A lot. And she liked him, which was very obvious.

Zuko choked again. And he blamed the weather for turning his cheeks red.

But then, he later explained, how he was planning on blowing up a village to get ride of those terrible Fire Nation people there. He did, however, quickly slip in how he has changed since then and was a different person. Very quickly, with a slight stutter.

The exiled prince frowned, again.

Finally, Jet told Zuko, how the night before the plan, he led the wa-Katara to their treehouse. And it was right then and there, he kissed her. Right on the lips, and he could tell it was her first. And boy, he still he remembered every detail of the night. Her dark skin, he blushing cheeks, and nervous shaking and..

Zuko threw up over the railing. Said it was sea sickness, and no, he was not blushing.

Skipping the details, Jet continued to tell his story. About how her annoying brother told her about his plan, and well, he hadn't exactly told the Aang and Katara about it. So yeah, he did lie to them. With another quick slip, he added that he was never going to do that again, and kept going.

He finished, as the refuge boat slowly made it's way, about how she cried, and her stupid brother ended up saving the town. Zuko raised an eyebrow at that. Then, about how they totally got mad at him. Zuko silently told himself, that he would have to.

With a grumble, and groan, Jet told Zuko about how Katara froze him to a tree.

Zuko smirked.

He never did forget that story, even much later, when they were living in Ba Sing Se.

So maybe, just maybe, in Ba Sing Se, when he saw Jet in his Uncle's tea shop, he was tiny bit angry for what he had done to the girl.

And when he swung his swords at Jet, during their sword fight in the streets, he might have been a tiny bit jealous about how he had kissed the girl.

Just maybe, just maybe, he fought Jet to give Katara a tiny bit of revenge.

So maybe, just maybe, it was his little secret.
