*All important disclaimer! I don't own anything! This was made for fun! Anything from the show or the real world not mine! Any reviews or helpful suggestions are accepted. Anything rude will be ignored. Characters a mostly OC, a bit of my alter ego's might slip in here and flames on the pairings or how Emotional Aang might be will be totally ignored. This is a Zutara story, I never cared for KatAang even when the show was going on. Aang will grow up I promise so please bare with me. Any helpful suggestions are appreciated. All haters and flamers please take your mean reviews and use them to thaw your cold hearts.*
Toph patted Katara on the back, "thanks Tara, its about time someone told him. Just glad it didn't have to be me." Zuko didn't return to the apartment for at least a week and a half. And it took two weeks for him to say a word to Katara. On top of the issues with Zuko, Katara was also having issues with Aang. He was acting so strange. Now instead of calling ninety times a day, he calls at least once a day. He seemed happy, but something in his tone of voice told Katara something was wrong. He was troubled by something, even a little guilty. But when asked about it, Aang would deny anything was wrong and get off the phone quickly. Katara's head was hurting as she laid down on her bed. Once again Aang had avoided her questioning, and now she hadn't heard from him in two days. 'If he doesn't call tonight I will call him tomorrow.' She decided as she rubber her temples. She could hear Zuko showering, he treated her lukewarm since their argument. J Z T had a gig that evening. Suki and Toph assured her that she was welcome, but with Zuko being mad at her Katara thought better of it. The shower turned off and Zuko let out a frustrated growl. "How long do you plan on giving me my space Tara!" Zuko fumed from the other side of the door.
Katara coughed slightly as she sat up, "well that depends... are you still wearing only a towel?" "Come Katara be serious!" Zuko growled as he stuck his head in. "I am! I don't wanna have this conversation with a half naked guy!" Katara retorted as she fought with her face muscles to not smile. Zuko growled again and retreated back into their bathroom. "Be ready to leave in twenty minutes Katara." Katara smiled to herself as she giggled at Zuko. 'Apparently we are cool.' Lu Ten was downstairs playing guitar hero against Jet when Katara came downstairs. She wore a white tank top and torn up worn out denims. Lu Ten dropped his plastic guitar and ran over to her. "I CALL TARA AS MY DATE TONIGHT! TOTAL DIBS!" Jet whined as he too dropped the plastic base. "Aw what! That is totally bogus! Tell him Tara, our love is special and could never be compromised by a set of golden eyes!" Even the TV booed them. Or at least the audience on the game.
Katara giggled and shook her head at the two. "Jet what about that girl who denied you? I don't think she'd like you fawning me." "That's the point darling! You might be able to help me get her back! Pretty please Tara? Pretend to be my lady?" Katara giggled and shook her head again, "sorry Jet. Maybe Suki will do it." Suki had just walked out of Toph's door with Toph in tow. She stopped mid-step, "Maybe Suki will do what?" Jet launched himself across the living room/kitchen area to Suki's side. "Repay the favor I did for you! Pretend to be my lady! Just for tonight! PLEASE? PLEASE? PLEASE?" Suki growled as Toph covered her mouth to hide her snicker. "Fine Jet! Geez! But just for tonight. And its only pretend to so no fake fooling around either!" Jet nodded vigorously.
Zuko came downstairs wearing a metallic red shirt and black leather pants. He stopped at the foot and stared at everyone who gaped at him. "What?" Zuko asked. Katara and Suki stomped on Lu Ten and Jet's feet before they could utter any insult. Katara blushed as she looked at Zuko's attire. Leather suited him. They drove to Aunt Wu's in Lu Ten's maroon Hummer. As the band set up Katara and Suki chatted with Song and Ty Lee. Two weeks strong. Ty Lee squealed excitedly in their booth and jumped up and down. "AZULA! OH AZULA OVER HERE!" Katara turned around to see Zuko's sister. She looked like him but not that much. Long straight hair and the same golden eyes. Her features were sharp and powerful. She seemed to command respect.
She wore a black skirt and white shirt under her blood red coat. "Ty Lee I see you, there is no need to hop around like that." She scolded as she took the seat next to Suki. "I'm sorry Azula I am just so happy to see you! This is Song, Song this is my best friend! Well besides Mai but you met her already!" Katara noted the flush that ran all the way up to Songs' ears. The five discussed many things while the band prepared. Lu Ten chatted with the owner for most of the set up. Katara later found out that she and Uncle Iroh were an item. 'Aw well when love blooms.' She smiled at the thought, Gran Gran had met up with an old boyfriend at a reunion, and they were still going strong.
Azula and Katara got into a heated debate on the last major war with some of the other continents. "So you're saying we should have just sat there and taken it! They attacked our capital!" Azula argued. Katara retorted, "I'm not saying that! I am saying we should have pulled our troops out sooner! Our honor had been regained! I mean look at the lives of the soldiers! How different they came back...!" "Alright ladies!" Lu Ten interjected as he sat next to Katara. "You've scared the masses enough with your political views, now call it a tie and shake hands." Katara and Azula blushed but shook hands. The lights went dimmer and a spot light hit the stage. Zuko stood in the middle with Jet beside him and Toph behind.
As they played their set Katara couldn't help but notice where Azula was looking. Not directly at her brother but at Jet. Katara couldn't help herself. "So Suki, big plans with Jet tonight huh?" Suki glanced confused at her. "Well he practically begged you to come with him tonight..." Katara nudged Suki's foot and glanced at Azula who was way to interested in the conversation. "Well maybe. I mean come on its Jet. He may be a wiz kid at base and Tattoos but how is he in bed." Suki countered with a smile. Ty Lee giggled and Lu Ten fake gagged. "I thought you hated him Suki?" Azula asked with a quizzical brow. Suki shrugged, "not really, and it's been too long between boyfriends ya know? Need a little action here and there to stay in practice."
Everyone laughed, though Azula's seemed forced. Toph, Zuko and Jet finished and came to the booth. Azula stood and hugged Zuko. "You look better Zuzu. Better than the last time I saw you any way." Zuko coughed a laugh and pulled up a chair. Toph simply made one for herself out of the floor. Jet simply shrugged and sat on Lu Ten's lap. Who quickly said, "No way man!" and stood. Jet fell to the floor and everyone laughed. Katara nudged her way out of the booth and shoved Lu Ten and Jet in. She sat on Jet's lap stating, "That better?" Jet ran his hands down the sides of her thighs, "Much, you take ones don't you?" Katara felt Jet get hit at least three times. The first two were Zuko and Toph she assumed but the third was not certain. After a few hours of drinks and laughter the group decided to leave. Zuko too a cab to Mai's house while Lu Ten dropped Jet off. Azula drove Ty Lee and Song home in her red Mercedes.
