Chapter 4

Katara

So Toph started traveling with us. Zuko was MAD. M-A-D mad. It was bad. After the outburst, there was scorched fire lillies (Iroh's, not mine's) and a poor soldier with scorched eyebrows that may never return. Toph was a wise crack, and got on Zuko's already frazzled nerves. Once, he even threatned to throw her overboard. Luckily, I stopped him before he went too far. But let's just leave it at they do not? have a very good relationship. But she actually treats me with some measure of respect. Maybe it's just because she owes me. Maybe because she just likes me. But I can speculate all day long, the point is, that's why I found it hard to believe that she called Zuko an "uptight fire-baby" and "his royal fire-hottiness". But then again, maybe it's just me. But when I voiced my opinion that she didn't mean to insult him, he got mad. I believe his exact words were:

"I can't believe you're taking her side! After all we've been through, you still don't trust me enough to think I'm lying about someone you've just met?!"

His voice was becoming slowly darker, and louder. And he seemed to get taller by the second.

"I didn't say you were lying, I just don't think she meant it that way. She can be a handful, maybe you just took it a little too serously-"

"ME!?" Oh, now he was mad.

"Me, taking it too seriously? Katara, are you even listening to what I said she called me? I THOUGHT you of all people would believe me!"

"You...of all people..." He was mumbling now, and slowly sliding against the side of the boat.

"Zuko? Zuko... I do believe you, I promise."

"I...I... I... I just never see you anymore, Katara. I feel like wer're not even friends anymore. We barely even talk."

"Zuko, you know you can talk to me anytime you want."

"I promise, no matter how bad things get, I will always be your friend."

"Yeah...friends..."

Yeah, so this chappie had a lot of dialogue. But Zuko is a little OOC,no? It was just emotional turmoil I (he) had to go through. Hope you liked it!

Remember, R&R!
