Katara sat in the library studying, for her history exam in a couple days when someone sat down crossed from her.
"Hay Katara how's it going?" He said
She looked up from her reading.
"Hay Zuko, what's up?"
"Oh nothing had some down time between classes and I thought I would come to the library." He said
"Is that right?" Katara said
"Yeah, it is." He said with a smirk. He knew he was hot stuff and sometimes it worked to his advantage and sometimes it backfired.
"So what did you and Song do on your 'date'" she said using air quotes
"Ahhh….well…" he said totally not expecting that question
"I asked if there was something wrong and she said she was fine." She told him
"Yeah well we were just going out on dates we weren't exclusive or anything and she was kind of mad I didn't ask her out."
"Oh. Okay sure." She said
"…after discussing that topic, would you like to go out with me on Friday? The Caves of Two Lovers are in town and students get a special ticket price." He said
"…oh look at the time" she said looking down at her bare wrist "I have to get going, wouldn't want to be late to class." She said very sarcastically, gathered her books and turned and walked away.
Zuko didn't want to take no for an answer.
"Whoa, there…I just want to take you out as friends." He said it was a lie and he hope that she would bite.
"What day is the concert on?" she asked
"Umm it's in two weeks, on Friday."
"Nope sorry I have swimming practice, I can't skip sorry."
"Maybe I can take you out for dinner before your practice." He said trying to get her to go with him
"Okay how bout on Thursday before I don't like eating before practice, and this week."
"Deal." He said "I'll meet you by the little park a crossed the way. You know where it is?"
"Yeah, I do I'll meet you there, here is my cell number." She wrote it down on a scrap piece.
"You should text me some time." She said smiling at him
"Yeah I will." He said
She walked away, to her class or where ever she was going. He did like her and she thought he was cute but something wasn't right with Song being mad the other night and him asking her out on a 'date'. She wasn't going to tell Song just yet. She was going to find out what his motive was.
Sokka was about to go get Suki from school when she knocked on the door.
"What are you doing here?" he asked her as he let her in
"Sokka we have to talk."
"Yeah sure, why weren't you in school today?" he asked
"Umm well me and my friend we went to the free clinic." Suki said
Sokka's blue eyes were wide as he listened to Suki talk. She was so afraid to tell him, she was more afraid about what her parents were going to say, but she didn't want to loose Sokka not now.
"…Sokka… I'm pregnant." She finally said after a couple seconds. She looked away from him she was so afraid that he was going to be mad or angry.
"Guess we have to tell your parents…uh…" he said
"You're not mad?"
"No, it was my idea and you didn't have to do it with me."
"But I wanted to."
"I know its okay we will work this out."
"My parents are going to kick me out of the house. Where am I going to go? I need to find a job." She said thinking a million miles a minute.
"If they do kick you out you can live her with me, and I have a job it's just enough to buy gas and food but I'm sure we can get by." He said holding her face, wiping her tears away. They hugged in the living room, and were together forever. Sokka had planned on asking her to marry him, guess its just a couple years sooner than he thought.
"When do you want to tell your parents?" he asked her
"Oh…I don't know I guess the sooner the better." She said
"Before you tell your parents lets go…ahhh…ring shopping?" he said
She looked at him with wide eyes, "Really? Are you serious?!"
"Yeah, Suki you are the one for me."
Suki of course being high strung started crying again.
"I love you." He said
"Love you." She said back
Katara was waiting in the little park between the biology labs and the dorm building waiting for Zuko, to take her on a 'were just friends' dinner. She looked at her phone she was about 3 minutes early. She decided to text Sokka.
'Hay whats up?' she typed and sent it to Sokka. With in seconds her phone buzzed
'I just found out im going to be a dad…' Katara looked at her phone in disbelief.
'ur kidding right?' and with in seconds her phone buzzed again she opened it fast,
'nope, y would i joke about that?'
"Hay, are you ready for some of the best pizza on campus?"
Katara jumped at the sound of his voice.
"Ahhh, yeah im ready is this pizza place?"
"Its couple block that way." He pointed in the direction
"Is everything okay?" he asked seeing something a little bit wrong
"Ahhh well…let's just say im going to be an aunt." She said with a half smile, she was happy that Sokka had found someone to be with, but kind of mad at him for doing that.
"I take it's not a great thing?" he said
"Not really, just want to know how he's going to tell dad. He's in big trouble."
"I'm starving, let's get some zza..." he said
"Some what?"
"You know zza…pizza…?"
"Oh yeah sure…" she laughed
They walked and talked until they got to the pizza place.
