Chapter 18- Punishment + Conditions
The door opened and Zuko walked in. he sat on the bed next to her. "Kat, what on earth are you doing here?" he asked, "I am meant to be here, alright!" she said, "No not alright, this is thousands of years before your time, Do you know the penalty for doing what you did?" he asked, "I don't know, lose an arm or something?" Zuko sighed "Its usually death, but I guess I could bend the rules a little, which one would you like to lose? Right or left?" "Your kidding!" Kat said sarcastically, "No, I'm not kidding, you have just insulted me infront of my crew. I was supposed to capture the Avatar and now I cant because I have to get you home!" said Zuko, "But you HAVE captured the Avatar!" Zuko looked at her puzzled, "What do you mean?", "I am the Avatar from the future!" said Kat, "Huh! Where's the punch line?" Asked Zuko sarcastically "I'm not lying!" "Prove it!" Kat got up and started bending the water from a glass of water beside the bed, Zuko was amused, Kat then started bending a few stones left on the floor, then she started bending the air in the room. "I haven't learned to bend fire yet but if you taught me, maybe…!" She sat back on the bed beside him. "I know I'm your enemy and all, but when you left I couldn't stop thinking about you. I confess I have fallen madly in love with you." She saw the look of confusion on his face "Please don't kill me or take me to your father!". "I couldn't do it even if I was forced to! I Love you Katrina!" then he stood up and kneeled before her, 'Oh my, is he doing what I think he is, please be doing what I think he is!' "Katrina, I have cared for you since I started dreaming about you, not a moment has passed that I have not thought about you" he said bringing out a shinning golden ring with a bright ruby as the gem "Will you marry me?" Kat thought about this for a minute or two, "I will on two conditions!" he looked at her, anchous now, "the first?" he urged "The first, join me and Aang to help us help the world?" Zuko shook his head "Then I hope you will enjoy burning me to death!" his eyes widened "I could never do that!" Zuko yelled, "Then join us!" replied Kat, "Fine! If it means being with you I will, What's the second?" Kat sighed "The second is that I will marry you IF you teach me fire-bending!" Zuko raised his left eyebrow "Deal!" he said, taking her in his arms and kissing her!
