"What is that?" Zuko winced at the tone of Katara's voice. Mai asked him the same question when he tried to give her any gifts.

"Uh, a palanquin?" Zuko rubbed his shaggy hair. Two palanquins and eight servants

"What for?" Katara crossed her arms.

"Uh, so we could go into town?" Zuko asked as it were obvious.

"Why can't we walk?" Katara glared.

"I didn't want to draw attention,"

"Oh, you don't want to be seen with a peasant huh?"

"Why would you think that?"

"Two palanquins, you not wearing your crown, what are you embarrassed?"

"While,"

"Suki said that Mai told her you two would only use one and she'd sit in your lap," Katara glared. "What, am I too heavy for you?"

"No, it's just that, ugh!"

"What's that?" Katara pointed at the basket.

"Lunch the servants prepared,"

"I don't want it!"

"They worked hard,"

"Yes they did, but you didn't," With that Katara turned and walked away. The servants unsure on what to do just stared at Zuko.

"What are you looking at?" Zuko blew fire from his mouth.

"Can you believe her!" Zuko paced up and down in his uncles room. His uncle was calmly making tea.

"Well Fire Lord Zuko, you did insult her,"

"How did I insult her?"

"Well, for starters you shouldn't have brought the palanquins,"

"But don't girls like to be pampered by a man's wealth!"

"But Katara isn't like that nephew, where did you get that silly idea from?"

"Well, with Mai…"

"What did you do for Mai?"

"When the war was still going on, we ordered servants around, ate lunch the servants made, rode on palanquins, ordered fruit tarts with rose petals on them," Zuko blushed.

"What did that prove?"

"That…we ah.." Zuko didn't really know what to say.

"What did it show?"

"It showed that I loved her!" Zuko shouted.

"In here," Iroh patted Zuko's pocket then moved to his chest. "Not there,"

"I don't understand Uncle,"

"I'm sure Lady Katara would have enjoyed all of those things, but maybe if you did them for her and not the servants,"

"Uncle, I don't even want to win!"

"Then why are you trying so hard to impress her?"

"I'm very competitive!"

Iroh laughed. "Oh you have a lot to learn nephew,"

"Uncle, I don't know how to impress a girl, the only girls I've been with was Mai,"

"Katara's not Mai," Iroh said. "She's more independent,"

"But don't girls like being pampered?"

"Well, yes,"

"Uncle,"

"Hmmm,"

"Girls are crazy!"

Chen's party was boring, or at least Katara thought so. Haru had gone to get drinks but still didn't come back yet. She also swirled at Zuko who was sitting next to Mai. Both looking eagerly bored.

"He's supposed to be courting me!" Katara thought. "Wait, why do I even care?"

A stumbling Haru came to Katara with a cup in his hand. He was laughing like an idiot.

"Haru, you ok?" Katara asked.

"Yeah,"

Katara pinched her nose. "Your breath stinks,"

Haru just looked at her like it was the funniest thing he'd heard.

"Are you drunk?" Katara looked disgusted. Haru was stumbling so Katara grabbed him by the hand and walked him outside for some fresh air.

Zuko was about to get up from the couch when Mai grabbed his hand.

"Where are you going?"

"To find Katara,"

"Why?"

"Haru looks a little drunk; I just want to see if she's alright,"

"How about we dance instead?"

"You hate to dance,"

"Well, I want to now," Mai pulled Zuko onto the dance floor and wrapped her arms around him.

"Mai, I got to go," Zuko leaned in to kiss her and Mai turned her head so he would only get her cheek. Zuko sighed and took off to the balcony.

Haru was locked with Katara in a furious kiss.

"Well, it looks like Haru and Aang would be the last two," Zuko thought. "That takes care of my problem, now back to Mai,"

Katara then pushed Haru off of her.

"Stop it!" Katara cried. The music was too loud, no one would hear her if she screamed.

Haru pinned her down and started to undress her. Katara then felt the weight tokened off. Zuko was punching Haru. Blood was coming out of Haru's mouth as Zuko continued to punch him.

"You asshole!" Zuko punched Haru.

Katara pulled Zuko off of Haru and cried into his shoulder.

"Please stop," Katara whispered. Zuko looked down at her.

"You want to go somewhere else for tonight?" Zuko asked. Katara nodded. As they turned to walk Katara fell on her knees crying. Trying to cover herself.

"I bet you want those palanquins now," Zuko tried to joke.

Katara looked up at him with tears in her beautiful eyes.

Zuko picked her up bridal style and carried her.

They entered Zuko's beach house. Zuko laid Katara down on the bed. As he was about to leave she grabbed him by the shirt.

"Stay with me please," She whispered to Zuko. Zuko nodded, took off his shirt and got into the bed with Katara. Who immediately rest her head on his chest.

Katara felt her head resting on something hard. She reached down and rubbed it. Thinking it was a pillow.

"Can you stop that," A gruff voice asked. Katara screamed and jumped up. Zuko laid bed with his shirt off.

"Why am I up so early, and what are we doing here?"

Zuko told her the whole story. He sighed knewing that it was truly over with Mai.

That week when they returned to the palace Katara had forgiven Haru. He felt ashamed for what he did, though he admitted that Hahn got him to drink.

"So, the two finalists are Aang," Katara gave the Airbender a soft smile. "And Zuko,"

Zuko wondered why she chose him. He also hated that she hasn't looked at him since the whole party thing. He missed their conversations and arguments.

"Katara, can I talk to you for a bit," Zuko asked. Katara nodded.

"Close your eyes," Katara gave him a sceptical look but closed them. Zuko led her. Her nose smelled the fresh scent of roses. She felt the breeze hit her face she knew she was outside.

"Open them," Zuko whispered in her ears. Katara shuddered at his warm breath on her cheek.

Katara looked down at the picnic blanket spread across the grass. Her mouth watered as she saw some food from the Southern Water Tribe and the Fire Nation.

"Sea Prunes?" Katara whispered excitedly. Zuko nodded.

"Who made this?"

"Me," Zuko said. "I asked your dad what they ate at the South Pole and went to the kitchen and made us food,"

"Wow," Katara couldn't believe it.

Zuko passed her a red rose and placed it in her hair. "I hope this would be our make up date,"

"Huh?"

"You didn't like the first date I tried to go on with you, so I thought this would be better," Zuko lifted her chin.

"Thanks Zuko, let's eat!"
