Katara's POV
As I ran through the people and to the hallway I didn't know Fire Lady Ursa was right behind me.
"Katara, what's going on?" Fire lady Ursa asks.
"To tell you the truth I don't know." I tell her.
"I think I should talk to Zuko." She says as she starts up the stairs.
"No I think I should do it." I say.
"Are you sure?" Ursa asks.
"Yes." I say staring her right in the eyes.
"Alright." Ursa says as she steps out of the way allowing me to pass.
As I step up the stairs I can only imagine what I will say to Zuko.

Fire Lady Ursa's POV
"She's really grown up." I say stepping off the stairs.
"Yes. Although I believe Miss. Katara has always been mature and it only blossoms as she gets older." Uncle Iroh says.
"I suppose your right. I guess I can't accept the fact that my children and Katara and Sokka are growing up. It feels like just yesterday they moved in." I say as I head back in to the festivities with Uncle Iroh following.

Katara's POV
As I walk to Zuko's room which is right next to mine I remember when Fire Lady Ursa gave me the room next to him.
Flash back
"Katara?" Fire Lady says as she opens the door.
"Yes Fire Lady Ursa?" I say.
"I just wanted to ask you a question. I was wondering if you would like to move in to the room next to Zuko." Fire lady Ursa asks.
As I sit there processing what Fire Lady Ursa said I couldn't believe it. I could have a room next to Zuko.
"So what do you think?" Fire Lady Ursa asks.
"I'd love it!" I yell as I run up to her and give her a hug.
"Then you'll move in tomorrow first thing." Fire Lady Ursa says laughing.
"Thank you." I say as I lay my head on her shoulder.
"Your welcome." She says smiling while petting my hair.
But what I didn't know was that at my door was Azula viewing our heartfelt moment. With a face full of hurt and mischief.
Present Time
"Zuko open the door." I say while knocking.
"Zuko please." I ask desperate to talk to him.
I receive no answer and decide to try the knob and twist as the door opens. When the door opens I can see Zuko sitting on his bed with his back to the door.
"Zuko we need to talk." I say.
"About what? I've already said what I had to say to you." He says.
"But what about what I have to say?" I ask.
"Well you didn't say anything back there." Zuko mumbles.
"Like you gave me a choice. You ran away before I could respond." I say sternly.
"Let's just forget it ever happened." He says as he stands up.
"I don't want to forget it." I say as I walk towards him.
"Why?" He asks.
"Because I like you, too. Did you hear me I lik" I say being cut off in the middle of my sentence by his lips.
Unlike the other kiss downstairs this one is full of passion. His lips moving fast against mine as I try to keep up. In the middle of the kiss I can feel his tongue pushing at my lips asking for entrance. I eagerly allow him to enter as our tongues duel for power. Unbeknown to us we were being watched.

Azula had been on her way to her room to freshen up and return to the ball when she heard talking in Zuko's room. Knowing Azula she had to stop and listen. But she had to make sure she wasn't caught by her mother. She saw Katara talking to Zuko but couldn't make out what they were saying until Zuko pulled her in for a kiss.
"So little Zuzu has a girlfriend. I always knew that Katara would be the perfect match for him their both weak." Azula says to herself as she walks back to the ball.

Zuko's POV
When I broke the kiss I had initiated with Katara I could feel the smirk I had plastered on my face as I saw the look in eyes.
"This is defiantly better than the ball." She says smiling.
"So what know?" She asks now serious.
"Well I like you and you like me so theirs only one thing to do. Miss Katara will you do me the honor of allowing me to court you?" I ask smiling at her shocked expression.
"I'd love that very much." She says returning the smile.
When she finishes I immediately pull her in to a light kiss that is over before it even started. That night Katara and I talked and soon fell asleep together on my bed.

Fire lady Ursa's POV
As I walk to check on my children and Katara and Sokka I smile at the sight in Zuko's room. Katara is laying facing toward the door and Zuko the same with his arm securely wrapped around her. They are still wearing there clothes from the ball except Zuko has discarded his armor. I walk over to the bed and grab the blanket at the bottom. When I lay the blanket on top of them I can see the small smiles on both of their faces. I quickly cover them and leave the room with a smile closing the door on the way out.

Fire Lady Ursa's POV
As I walk down the stairs I can see Iroh thanking the guests for coming and closing the door on their way out.
"This has been quite a night." I say to Iroh.
"Indeed it has. How are Zuko and Katara doing?" Iroh asks concerned.
"Good. They must have been talking and fallen asleep in Zuko's bed. I covered them with a blanket." I state.
"I'm glad everything turned out well." Uncle Iroh said.
In the middle of their conversation Sokka stumbles out of the ball room.
"I think I'm going to go to bed. Good night Lady Ursa." Sokka says going up the stairs.
"Good night Sokka sleep well." I reply.
Returning to my conversation I can only think of Zuko and Katara.
"Remember when Katara first moved in and she was a little home sick. We would wake up the next morning to find she had snuck in to Zuko's room in the middle of the night." I said.
"Yes. I remember how Zuko in his sleep would hold on to Katara protectively and when we tried to take her to her bed he wouldn't let go." Iroh said laughing.
"It seems that has not changed for when I got up there his arm was wrapped tightly around her." I say smiling.
"Maybe this time it has a different meaning behind it." Uncle Iroh says hinting.
"If it did I would not mind Katara is like a daughter to me and it was never hard to find a place for her in this family." I say.
"Well we should be getting to bed it is a bit late." Uncle said.
"I know it's been a long night. Good night Uncle." I say.
"Good night Ursa. Sleep well." Uncle says.

Katara's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night to feel an arm wrapped tightly around my waist. I turned in the embrace slowly as to not wake up the person that's arm was draped around my waist. When I turned I could just barely see in the moonlight that it was Zuko. He was lying here with a smile on his face and he looked so happy. I remember that we were talking and we must have fallen asleep. I felt so content in his arms as I just lay their and rest before sleep over took me.

Authors Note: I bet a lot of people would want to be in the room beside zuko but I prefer being in the room with him. ;) I hope you liked it. I tried to make it longer. Continue reviewing! You guys are great!
