Zuko's POV
It has been 2 months since Katara and her family arrived. In that time Katara and I have become best friends. She has told me about the Southern water tribe and that her mother was killed by the fire Nation, my people. I couldn't imagine losing my mother and when I hugged Katara while she cried I hoped I would never have to understand how she felt. But everything seemed okay until I learned Katara and her family would be leaving soon.

Katara's POV
"Hakoda, I know you will be leaving soon and that Katara is your only daughter but Katara and Zuko have become friends. Now Zuko does not have many friends and I was wondering if Katara would like to stay here. You will be leaving soon and even though Katara is only 12, I was wondering if she would like to stay here and when she was of age become an ambassador of her water tribe?" Fire Lady Ursa asked hopefully.
"Ursa, I don't know she is young and what about the water tribe?" Hakoda asked.
"I thought about this she is young but I could not think of anyone better to take your place when you leave. And about her home she could visit anytime she wanted. I would never hold her back from her home. If she wanted Sokka could stay, too." Fire Lady Ursa said.
"That is true but it's up to Katara." Hakoda said.
"Dad, can I?"I said rushing in from the other room overhearing the conversation.
"Now Katara this is a big responsibility I want you to know you'd be living here." Hakoda said.
"I know dad. But I'll visit all the time. Besides I'd miss Zuko to much if I left. The Southern Water tribe will always be home no matter where I am." I stated.
"Alright but your brother has to stay with you. And you have to promise to visit and write all the time." Hakoda said smiling.
"I promise." I say.
"I'll do it. I'll stay with Katara." Sokka says mumbling stepping out of the shadows with some food.
"All right Katara you may stay." Hakoda says truly proud of his children.
"Thank you Dad." Katara says as she hugs him.
"Your welcome." Hakoda responds.
"I am going to go tell Zuko." I say running up the stairs as I hear laughter in the room below.
"Hey Zuko guess what." I say.
"What?" asks Zuko.
"I'm going to live here. But I get to go home and visit the water tribe anytime I want." I say happily.
"Now we can see each other all the time." Zuko says finally smiling for the first time as he hugs me.

The day Hakoda Leaves: Hakoda's POV
"Sokka take care of your sister." I say as I hug him goodbye.
"I will dad." Sokka responds.
"Katara be good. I'm not going to tell you to make me proud because you already have." I say hugging her.
"Thanks dad." Katara says.
"Alright. I love you both very much. Goodbye." I say as I step on the boat and wave at my children.
"We love you too." They both yell as they wave.
As the boat sails away I have tears in my eyes because my children are growing up.
