Okay Katara has a mind, she knows what can happen. But does she do it any way? And what of Aang? Ah hell just read.
"Wait." Katara said pushing Zuko off onto his side. She sat up and wrapped her arms around her instictivly.
"What is it?"
"I can't. Not yet." Zuko nodded and hugged her tight.
"I can wait forever." Katara smiled and leaned against him. She laughed at little and shook her head causing him to look down at her in question.
"What is so funny?"
"You act like you have an off button."
"I do." He said proudly. Katara laughed at him and pushed him backwards onto the ground.
"Oh yeah?" She ask pointing at the buldge in his pants. Zuko cocked an eyebrow.
"That is just...the fabric."
"I know it doesn't work that way. I'm sorry." Zuko shook his head and sat up. He looked at her with stern eyes.
"You have nothing to be sorry about. I shouldn't have pushed the fact."
"Zuko?"
"Yes?"
"Shut up and lets go." Zuko rolled his eyes as she helped pull him to his feet. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and leaned in close to her ear.
"You know, you are really difficult."
"That's why you love me." Zuko laughed and picked her up.
"Damn straight." Katara's face got very stern as she pushed away from him. She narrowed her eyes and stopped right in front of him. She stood at her tallest and puffed her chest out, staring him dead in the eyes.
She stood there for a good minute or two, making the prince very nervous. He cocked his eyebrow as she stared at him. Then she finally spoke.
"You ever try and lie to me again and I will hurt you." Zuko crossed his arms and stared at her.
"Oh yeah, little girl? You and what army?" Katara's eyes blazed with fire as she reached up and grabbed his ear with a vice like grip.
"AGAIN with the ear?" She glared at him and pulled him along behind her muttering all the way.
"I swear. Little girl! Bah! Where do people get that I am a little girl? I have nothing on me that is little! Next time some one calls me little I am positively going to scream." It was on the end of Zuko's tongue when she stopped and glared at him.
"Don't you even think about it."
"What?" Katara just frowned and let go of his ear. She shook her head and smiled at him.
"I'm sorry, all of this has me a little stressed out. I just want to get married and get on with it."
Zuko was taken a little aback by this statement.
"Get on with what?"
"This journey. I am ready for Aang to defeat the Fire Lord and this war to be over." Zuko's smile turned to stone, a face that hadn't been as frequent on the prince's face as before.
"It will never be over." Katara looked at him.
"What do you mean?" She ask, having an idea but wanting to hear it from him.
"Even if Aang can defeat Ozai, he still has Azula to contentd with. Not to mention the rest of the kingdom that are loyal to the Fire Lord. There may not be mnay but the ones that are are the best in the kingdom." Katara took his arm in hers as they walked for a while in silence.
"No." Katara stated flatly. Zuko didn't say anything just awaited her futher explanation.
"Aang can defeat Ozai, hands down. I have faith in him. And as far as Azula and the rest of the Kingdom go, that is when the rest of us will do our part."
"We might be killed."
"No. There is no way that I would let any thing happen to any one."
"You sure are speaking with a strength beyond what you have." Zuko said informatively. Katara wrinkled her nose and looked up at him.
"You don't know me very well do you?"
"I hope I do. We are getting married after all." Katara smiled and looked up into Zuko's eyes as they stopped.
"And just where the hell have you two been!" Sokka yelled walking up with Riyo on his hip looking very much like a mother hen.
"We were just..."
"Just nothing! You two shouldn't be alone together. AND you! If I see you touch my sister in a way that I don't approve I will ..."
"Sokka. Shush." Katara said taking Riyo from her brother and walked past him. Zuko smirked at his soon to be brother in law and walked past him. Sokka just stared at where they were standing.
"I will do nothing because my sister sees you as a little pet. But you better be thankful because if you were still standing here I would give you a peice of my mind." Sokka said wagging his finger into thin air.
"Wouldn't be very much." Aang laughed walking up from behind him.
"Like you can talk."
"I don't want to witness the wedding. So I am going to go and wash Appa." Sokka nodded and watched as the young avatar walked away. He could have sworn that Aang might have had something for his sister...nah, that's ridiculous. If Aang like his sister it would have been obvious.
Sokka quickly ran back over to where his sister was sitting calmly next to her husband to be. He started to sit down and join them whne he heard them fussing. As usual Katarawas winning. But then she said something that took him off guard.
"I can wait forever?"
Zuko nodded and smiled.
"I believe that is what I said."
"You are so corny."
Sokka felt anger build up inside of him. There was only one way in which that statement would come up, and if it was what he thought it was he was going to kill him a Zuko.
