Katara woke up to an empty bed. Her hand searched around for a certain Fire Bender.

"Zuko?" Katara moaned. She wasn't used to getting up so early.

"I made you breakfast!" Zuko placed her meal on her lap. Katara smiled gratefully but then frowned.

"Where's the fork?"

Zuko used his hands and fed her bit by bit. Katara licked Zuko's finger.

"Mmmm," She moaned, tasting the delicious food.

"Glad you like it," Zuko took her chin and brought her mouth to his and placed a soft kiss.

"Katara, I'm sorry I have been a jerk lately," Zuko pressed his forehead to hers. "I'm also very sorry for comparing you to Mai,"

"That's ok,"

"I'll go check on the horses," Zuko gave her a kiss.

Katara sighed happily. "Who knew Zuko could be so sweet and romantic,"


"I had the best time!" Katara squealed to Suki. Suki informed her that things between Sokka and Toph were going smoothly. They decided to date and get to know each other better than in a friend way. Katara had caught them holding hands since she got back. Katara told Suki what happened on her week with Zuko.

"So, you're choosing Zuko?"

"Maybe," Katara sighed. "It's just, I don't know if he really loves me, or if he is just doing this as a friend,"

"Katara, that's ridiculous,"

"I know Aang loves me, even if he has a childish way of it," Katara said. "But Zuko just to protect me from dishonourable guys,"

"Katara,"

"I don't want to make Zuko more miserable,"

"Katara, I think he really likes you, he wouldn't have done so much to make you happy,"

"But shouldn't he be happy too?" Katara asked.

"Katara, Zuko loves you,"

"I don't think he does, Mai made him happy Suki,"

"But Katara,"

"They'll never accept a peasant as their Fire Lady," Katara whispered. "I'll destroy everything Zuko had worked for,"

"Where are you getting all of this?"

"I know what to do!" Katara whispered.

"Katara, think about this,"

"I am,"

"Why do you think Mai is a better choice for him?"

"Because, she understands him, all Zuko and I do is argue,"

"All couples do, and from what Mai told me, Zuko could sometime treat her like shit,"

"You don't know that,"

"He didn't even tell her that he was going to join Aang,"

"He didn't want to get her involved,"

"Katara, when you love someone you always want them to be around you," Suki said.

"I'm also not as experienced as Mai,"

Toph opened the door and went to Katara and slapped her in the face. Katara rubbed her red cheek as Suki tried to hold her off.

"Katara, shut up about Mai!" Toph shouted. "She's not even that important!"

"I messed up their relationship," Katara whispered.

"No you didn't Zuko chose this,"

"Katara, how does Zuko make you feel," Suki asked.

"Sexy," Katara smirked. "I also feel love,"

"Ok, Sweetness," Toph held out a papaya and an apple.

"I hate papayas," Katara whined.

"Shut up!" Toph held out the papaya. "This is Aang,"

"Ok,"

"This apple is Zuko, take a bite of each and tell me what you taste,"

Katara took a bite out of the papaya. "It taste sweet and innocent but not raw or filling,"

"Now the apple,"

"It has a rough and hard feeling when you bite it, but the sweet juice makes up for the roughness," Katara nodded. "Zuko taste better!"

Suki and Toph laughed.

"That came out wrong," Katara blushed.


"I have come to a decision," Katara said.

Zuko and Aang waited to hear her answer.

"I choose, Aang,"
