This story is for Crazy Cutie 01. She requested that I did a cactus juice story and I could choose who drank it. So read on to see how Zuko and Katara get together. Also I apologize for the Kataang like images that you will see in the beginning. Please read by them quickly so you can get to the Zutara medicine you need. Now it's time for juicy time with Iroh the part of the show where Iroh drinks from cactus juice. (if any of you have watched veggietales you will know where I stole this from)

Their bodies swayed to the music. They were all having a good time while I stayed in the shadows. The war was over and everyone was celebrating. I was off in a corner watching the whole thing. Aang and Katara were dancing skillfully, and everyone cheered for them. I felt a small pang in my chest, but it was just because I ached for Mai. Yeah, that was it. I wanted companionship. Aang and Katara were a couple now, and no matter how much I thought he was too young, too immature, too clueless, I was just going to have to get over Katara. I mean them. Get over them. That's what I meant to say. I looked away because the pang in my chest was becoming unbearable as I watched them have fun. Together. I was about to walk away when I felt a tug at my shoulder. It was my Uncle.

"Zuko we are one with each other, so separate to become two" I looked at him in confusion and he winked at me. I shook my head in disbelief. Then something started to smell and I noticed something was off. "Zuko look at the water bender as she moves like the waves…don't you want to swim in them? Swim like a Koi fish with her waves" I stared again in disbelief and then realized…

"Uncle did you have too much cactus juice?" It all made sense now. Well he didn't but his behavior did.

"Zuko Zuko Zuko we all want to swim with the waves" he started to sway and nearly fell on me. I had to grab hold and push him against the wall so that he had something to keep him steady. "That's it my boy practice for Katara" I pulled my hands away in disgust and tried to rub what he said out of my mind. It was beyond belief. I just needed to focus on getting Uncle somewhere he can't bother anyone. I started to drag him to my room, but he was a big fella. I kept dragging him while he started yelling, " Destiny told me too. Destiny is a funny thing. Laugh with destiny" We were almost to my room when Katara came up to us.

"Hey Zuko" She looked down and noticed that I was dragging uncle. "Um is something wrong?"

"Uncle had too much cactus juice and I need to get him to my room so that he can't bother anyone" She nodded in response and started to help me push him into his room. We got him in there and set him on the bed. I went to the closet to look for the pai sho board.

"Hey Zuko I can help you look" Katara then began looking through the closet with me and I couldn't help but notice how close she was to me. I definitely wasn't complaining. Then I felt a push at my back and saw Katara jerk forward. Suddenly we were both in the closet and we heard a click as the door locked. I started to bang at the door but it was to no avail.

"Laugh with destiny" was the answer to my banging. I looked at Katara and she did not look happy. I sat next to her and sighed. "What are we going to do now?" I asked her, and her answer surprised me.

"We could play a game"

"What kind of game"

"Well I ask you a question and you answer truthfully and then you do the same for me" It sounded stupid but at the same time I was dying to know what she thought about so I agreed. We ended up finding out little things about one another but then we got to the good questions.

"Ok Zuko ….who do you like best in the group?" I didn't have to think about it because I blurted out the answer.

"You" She blushed in surprise, and I just shrugged it off like it was nothing but I knew it was more than that." Ok my turn…what do you think about me" She answered immediately to my surprise.

" I think you are infuriating, mean, rude, and boring" Wow that was not the answer I expected from her. All I could say was,

"Ouch way to have a heart Katara" She didn't seem to care and bluntly stated, " Well it's not my fault you are such a jerk" This got me mad. She had no reason to say this stuff anymore. I thought that we were friends. And from what I had gathered friends did not insult each other. So I had to insult her back.

"What is your problem peasant" I emphasized the last part just to annoy her.

"Don't call me that, and you ask me what my problem is, you're the one with the problem" I looked at her in shock. She started this whole thing. What the heck is wrong with her. I think she enjoys annoying me.

"Tell me what I did since you seem to know all" The sarcasm was laid on thick and that infuriated her.

"It is your fault" I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. Was this about her mother again? I thought that we had handled that. What was going on. Did I take something of hers or what? I was so confused.

"What is my fault?"

"It is your fault that you are so….so… kind, sweet, gentle, handsome, strong, and thoughtful and that I can't stop thinking about you" She covered her mouth in an attempt to stop what she had said, but it had already been done. She liked me. Which meant so much, but why was she with Aang. If she had some feeling for me how could she not have told me. That didn't matter right now because we were alone and she was gorgeous and … " Zuko I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that..It just came out.. I mean you have Mai, but it's just that stupid Mai and why are you even with her I mean she's not pretty and you could do so much bett…"

"Is that a hint of jealousy" I couldn't help but smirk.

"No I am just looking out for you as a friend would and…"

"Do you want to kiss me right now as much as I want to kiss you" I couldn't help myself. My instincts came over and I wanted her so badly especially since I knew she had a tiny hint of feeling for me somewhere.

She answered by pressing her body against mine. She wrapped her arms around me and our lips were so close and then..

"Hey is someone in there?" We jumped back in astonishment. Darn it. I was so close. Her lips were so soft and warm and I was so close to tasting them. Katara turned immediately towards the door and started to explain the situation. The mood was ruined. The guy tried to open the door but couldn't without the key, so I told him to go get Uncle. We waited for what seemed like hours and Katara fell asleep on my shoulder. When the man finally returned with uncle I sighed with relief. I heard Uncle try to explain that the man was stopping him from having grandchildren. I blushed and thanked Agni that Katara was asleep. Uncle had the key and tried to put it in the keyhole but his drunk like state caused him to miss every time. I was getting frustrated and hot and I couldn't take it anymore.

"Just stick it in there!!!" Katara jumped up in surprise, and Uncle finally opened the door. I grumbled and we passed by Uncle and I heard him say, " That's what Katara said" And I felt all the blood rush to my cheeks. There would be no more cactus juice for him.

Lilchibchib: Hehe oh Uncle you slay me. Well I hope you enjoyed this. I have read a lot of cactus juice stories and I have never seen one with uncle getting drunk or I don't see that many. Well anyway I kind of enjoyed writing this one, but you know what would make me enjoy it more? You guessed it! MORE REVIEWS!! Come on guys get in the review mode.
