Chapter 2

So I'm supposed to be writing a massive essay right now:) Oh well I'd rather write this than a stupid English essay. Thank you so much for the reviews! It's more than I thought I would get! You guys are great! And if anyone is feeling froggy I was wondering if anyone would like to be my Beta reader! If not that is totally fine!

I do not own Avatar The Last Airbender. :( I wish I did…. That would be cool. Well I hope you like this chapter! Review please!

Katara swept the clear blue water away from where Zuko disappeared. The water splitting in two sections, but all she saw was ground. She noticed tears streaming down her face as she looked toward the beach.

"Aang! Bring him back!" she screamed across the sea.

"NO! He was trying to hurt you!" the young monk yelled back. He was still so angry about what he had seen. Zuko had pulled Katara under the water and held her there. He heard her scream under the water and knew that something was wrong. When they surfaced and they were standing so close he didn't know what to think. So instead of asking questions he acted. Thinking that Zuko had reverted back to his old ways. "He hasn't changed, Katara! He's still the same cold hearted prince we've always known!"

"No! He's changed! Haven't you figured that out!?" She yelled back at him. She was still standing in the water, a ways away from Aang, though he had started moving into the water. "Now bring him back before he suffocates! He'll die and you won't have your teacher and I won't have the man I love!" She stopped short. Had she really just said that? I'm in so much trouble.

Aang's face fell from angry to hurt, to angry again. "What! You love him! What about me?" he advanced faster in the water. She couldn't understand why he was so angry. He had only ever kissed her at the invasion. How would he know if he loved her or not?

Katara looked down at her hands. They were shaking. "I'm so sorry Aang, I love you! But not like I love Zuko. I love you like a brother. We've become so close, but not in the way that a relationship should be between two lovers. I feel like when you kissed me, I was kissing Sokka." She finished with a frown.

He finally reached her, seething and seemingly ready for a fight. He wanted to fight for her. He wanted her to love him! He took several calming breaths, remembering his peaceful nature. "I'm sorry I yelled, Katara. I've been trying to deny it as well. When I kissed you at the invasion it didn't feel right. I wanted to think it was love, but it didn't feel anything like it should've." He leaned in and hugged her. She hugged him tightly back.

"I'm so glad you understand Aang!" she said, relieved. "I don't mean to be pushy but can you bring him back now?" She asked.

"Oh! Yeah of course! I hope I put enough air sown there with him!" Aang said, sounding almost embarrassed. Katara started to panic. What! He might be dead by now! Aang moved swiftly and brought the water back and the chasm that swallowed Zuko early opened.

It was dark. No one came charging out breathing fire or was there any steam rising. Katara's heart stopped. Where is he? "Aang what did you do! Where is he!" She yelled. She pushed him in the chest. "How dare you! After we resolved everything!" As she pushed him again she saw hit face. Utter shock crossed it. She realized that he didn't have anything to do with this.

"ZUKO!" She yelled across the sea.

"Hey Twinkletoes!" A voice yelled from the beach. "You better learn how to insulate holes in the ground better! Sparky almost drowned thanks to you!" Toph was standing next to a figure on the ground. He was in black pants and he didn't have a shirt on, sitting with his legs crossed in the sand. Katara ran as fast as the water would let her. She forgot she could bend it out of her way. She crashed into Zuko. He huffed as his back hit the sand, with Katara on his chest checking to see if he was okay.

"Oh my god I was so worried!" She gasped. She couldn't believe it. He was okay! Aang made his way to the beach slowly, not wanting to get reprimanded by both all three of his teachers. "What happened to you? How did you get to shore?" Katara was so frazzled that she wasn't acting like herself.

Zuko told them the story about what happened. The last thing I saw was blue eyes flashing back into mine. I heard my name being called and then it was dark. I could hear the water above me rushing back into the space above my prison beneath the sea. I tried beating on the roof, trying to break it because I knew if it broke I wouldn't have to swim far to get to the surface. I hit the roof once. Water started rushing in. I started to panic. "Help!" I yelled. "Aang! Katara! Toph! Anyone! Then a tunnel opened up on my left, Toph walking out of it.

"Sparky what did I tell you about getting on Aang's bad side?" She asked with her usual sarcasm. "Come on we better get out of here before we both drown." She bended the roof to make it stronger. "We're going to play a trick on those two. They'll think that you were never in here!" Toph said with a maniacal smirk on her face.

"I was just thinking the same thing, Toph." I said with my own smirk gracing my lips. This is going to be fun. Toph and I walked back through the tunnel and made our way back to the beach. I got to hear the entire fight between the two benders. How Aang accepted and understood about me and Katara.

"Yeah Twinkletoes, you're really rusty on your earthbending. I think we need to fit in some more sessions!" Toph said with a smirk on her face. Aang actually looked a little pale when he realized he would be juggling three sessions a day. He knew Katara wouldn't let him live this down, let alone Zuko.

"Oh no" Aang mumbled and started walking back to the beach. Zuko stopped him, after prying Katara off of him.

"Aang. No hard feelings?" Zuko asked nervously. He didn't want there to be any rivalries with the young avatar.

"Yeah, Zuko we're good. Just know if you break her heart I'll break your face." Aang said with a smile. Zuko laughed nervously.

"No problems there my friend." He said with a smile and turned back to Katara. Toph walked back with Aang, walking very close to the airbender. Hmm, he thought. I wonder.

He walked back to Katara and slipped his hands around her waist from behind. "Hey," he said. His voice husky and deep. She turned to look at him and smiled. She turned in his arms so that she was facing him. He leaned down and kissed her, another passion filled kiss. Steam was rising off of his shoulders. The waves of the sea were thrashing wildly. This is going to be interesting. They both thought simultaneously. It was going to be a very interesting few days.

On the other side of Ember Island….. "Fan out men. The fugitives are here somewhere. Find them and bring them back. We must return before the comet arrives."
