Chapter 3

Zuko's mind went blank and his heart started to flutter. What was she doing? Weren't they supposed to be in the middle of a match? She continued to pull him towards her keeping just enough room to maintain control of him while she high-kicked him square in the forehead. Obviously caught off guard Zuko fell to the floor, signaling his defeat. Zuko blinked a couple times trying regain his consciousness and figure out what exactly had just happened. He looked up and saw Katara standing over him "Need some help?" she mocked "Uh..m..ok" he muttered back and grabbed her outstretched hand. He noticed how small and soft her hand seemed and wondered how such fragile looking hands could have beaten him with such force. Zuko was still dizzy from the fight and when lifting himself up, lost balance and stumbled to the floor nonetheless pulling Katara back down with him.
