Maybe you can love again
Everyone sat at the dinner table in an awkward silence. Katara was avoiding Aang's gaze and abusing the piece of chicken she was suppose to be eating. Zuko was avoiding Mai and she was avoiding him. Sakura sat at her seat in silence and looked over to Sokka. He could feel the tension in the air. She gave him a 'what's going on?' look, to which he only shrugged. The young girl looked at her aunt with worry, it took a lot to get her aunt mad at someone and Uncle Aang had defiantly gotten her not only mad but pissed at him. One of Sakura's ladies maids picked that time to accidentally pour orange juice all over her. "Oh, I'm so sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to, I swear I didn't, I'm—"
"Banished," finished a furious Mai. "You are banished so go on and get out of here!"
"Mama no!" Sakura cried out. "Mama it was only an accident, mama please," the princess pleaded.
"Accidents cast lives Sakura Lee," the women hissed.
"Papa!" Sakura begged as she looked back at her ladies maid walking to the door.
"NO!" Zuko yelled out, startling everyone. "Mai, you can't take our problems out on the help!" he boomed. Mai's face hardened.
"Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?" she threatened.
"I'm fire lord and your husband!" he yelled. "You're not banished!"
The maid looked between the fire lord and his wife. "YES SHE IS!" Mai screamed.
"IF I SAY SHE'S NOT THEN SHE'S NOT!" Zuko yelled back.
"I HATE YOU!" Mai screamed.
"AND I YOU, SO SHUT UP AND—" Zuko started.
"STOP IT!" rang another voice. Zuko and Mai turned to see Katara on her feet glaring at the two.
"Why?" Mai asked glaring at her.
Katara only pointed. Zuko and Mai looked over to see tears running down Sakura's face and crying into Sokka's shirt. Aang looked a little disturbed as he sat in his seat and the maid looked frightened. "Sakura sweetie," Mai soothed as she started to walk over to her daughter, but the little girl got up and ran out the door, her maids following her. Zuko sighed as he sat down and put his head in his hands.
"I'll go talk to her," Katara said getting up. Zuko only nodded and started banging his head on the table.
"Sakura," Katara said quietly as she approached the crying girl. Sakura was sitting on her window seat, her knees to her chest, she looked out the window. Slow tears made paths down her cheeks. Katara sat down on the floor and looked up at the little girl.
"Mommy and daddy are going to split up," Sakura murmured.
"No they're not," Katara said gently as she moved a stray piece of hair behind Sakura's ear.
"Yes they are this is the second big fight they've had."
"Tell me about the first one," Katara said as she sat down and pulled the little girl into her lap.
"Well…"
A/N I would have made this longer but I don't want Katara to find out till chapter 4 (Katara's Descovery).
