"Katara please!"
"No Sokka!"
"Come on Katara!"
"No! We have to train! We don't have time for fun and games. We are fighting the Fire Nation in two weeks. We can't be going to a party and having the Avatar and a twelve year old blind girl getting drunk." With that Katara swiftly turned and walked off.
"Suki?"
"She's your sister, Sokka."
"Well than what do you suggest I do to get her to say yes?"
"Get someone to manipulate her." Then Suki walked away too.
While Sokka was thinking of a plan to get his sister to say yes, someone was alredy on his way over to the lake, to reason, or manipulate with the waterbender.
"Hey."
"Hi Zuko. What do you want? Did Sokka send you?" Katara turned and instantly her cheeks went red. Zuko was standing right in front of her, his shirt off and body shining with water.
"So I have a good excuse to why we should go party."
"A…and…what…what's that?" Katara swallowed the lump in her throat.
"We all are going to fight my father and the Fire Nation. There is a good chance that some of us won't come back and this could be the most fun we could have before someone might die. Don't say that no one will die because I know my father. He's merciless." Zuko took a step forward in the water and put his hand on Katara's shoulder. Katara's mouth opened and closed but nothing came out. She relised this and just nodded her head. "So that's a yes we can go." Katara nodded her head again. Zuko smiled "Thanks Kat." He then kissed her on her crimson cheek and walked out of the water and back to camp. Katara's mouth gaped open and her hand found its way to her cheek.
When she walked back to camp Sokka came to her and hugged her and said something that Katara didn't seem to hear because all she could pay attention to was Zuko standing there shirtless teaching Aang some firebending move.
Toph smirked and went up to Katara "Looks like a crush is forming." She whispered. Katara's mouth opened to retort but nothing came out. She was mute for the time being, but she just would make up for that by smiling.
