"I can't believe you!" Katara huffed. They were in Zuko's office arguing about Zuko wanting to marry her.
"Katara, what's the big deal?" Zuko asked. "All you have to do is choose Aang, problem solved,"
"Zuko, you have no idea on what you agreed too!" Katara slapped her forehead. "You agreed on your honour that you'll fight and actually try to win my hand in marriage,"
"Katara, stop worrying about this," Zuko said. "It's not like you're going to choose me,"
"But I promised my dad to keep an open mind," Katara sighed. "I'm not saying we will fall in love but I'm going to treat you like a possible choice as my husband, I honour my word to my father,"
"I know, don't worry I'll take this seriously," Zuko nodded. "So, what do I have to expect?"
"I can't tell you!" Katara teased. "Thanks for doing this for me,"
"I couldn't let you possibly marry that guy,"
Katara walked to the door. "Oh, and Zuko, I hope I don't fall in love with you too,"
Zuko wondered what she meant by that.
Katara walked out to the palace gardens to think. It was nice and peaceful there. She loved smelling the ruby red roses. She picked up one and touched the softness of the petals.
She was worried. She promised her father that she would take this seriously and not just choose Aang because he was her boyfriend. She couldn't really think about loving the other choices. Katara had no idea why Hahn wanted to marry her; they never even spoke when she was at the Northern Water Tribe. Katara knew that Haru might have had a crush on her, but she never expected that he was that serious about them. Aang, well Katara knew he loved her but was it just an infatuation? And then there was Zuko, he only wanted to marry her so Chan wouldn't. It was nice that he cared but Katara hated that she ruined his romance with his childhood sweetheart Mai. The gloomy girl refused to talk to either of them. Which was alright for Katara, since they didn't know each other that well, but for Zuko it might have been difficult. She was his soul mate and now he had to end their romance. Katara felt like a whore. The way some servants made comments when she was around or gave her disapproving looks. The worst was when Mai's parents came over. Mai had some stuff she need from her apartment to go back to the Earth Kingdom with her parents. She also had to pick up some things from the palace.
"You whore!" Mai's mother slapped her on the face. "You ruined everything!"
Katara held her red cheek. She didn't protest or argued because she knew she deserved it.
"What a slut!" Mai's father huffed. "My little girl gave the Fire Lord everything, her soul, her body!"
"I'm sorry," Katara said softly.
"Sorry isn't going to give my daughters virginity back!" Mai's mother sniffed.
"Mother," Mai blushed.
"Well, don't think we didn't know what you two were doing at your apartment," Mai's mother bawled.
"Mai could have been Fire Lady," Mai's dad said.
"You don't understand the whole situation," Katara said.
"You seduced the Fire Lord that's what!" Mai's mother shouted.
"What is going on here!" Zuko entered the room.
"Just telling her what her place is!" Mai's mother spat.
"Get out of my palace," Zuko said. "You should also remember your place,"
Mai's parents and Mai quickly packed up and left. Katara was still crying a bit. Zuko gave her one look and then left.
Katara's wardrobe had been changed to dresses. Her father asked for some Northern Water Tribe servants to remove most of her loose fitting clothes to a more elegant style dresses. Her hair was removed from their childish hair loopies into different styles.
Katara sighed as she sat and awaited her suitors. Aang, Zuko, Haru and Hahn. Hahn was first. Katara was wearing a dress. That was dark blue at the top, a lighter blue at the bottom, and a frilly white skirting around the bottom of the dress.
"Welcome Hahn," Katara curtsied. She hated being so polite to a guy she wasn't even that in to.
"Princess," Hahn bowed.
"So, where will you be taking me?" Katara inquired.
"For a walk," Hahn said.
Katara and Hahn walked around the palace. But Hahn had trouble keeping his hands to himself. He kept on trying to put his arm around Katara. She kept on taking it off. So he tried around the waist and Katara took his hand off. Then he put his hand on her butt and Katara squeaked in surprise.
"Ahhh!" Hahn screamed running from a water dragon made by Katara.
"Dad, I can't believe you actually considered him!" Katara barked.
"Was that really necessary?" Hakoda asked.
"Yes!"
"I would like the rest of your suitors to be in one piece at least,"
"Let that be a lesson for them, not to try anything like that around me,"
So you guys really need to review so I know if I'm doing the story right or what I'm doing wrong. What's your opinion? I'm going to try to make this story long and take my time with it. BTW Please review Adventures.
