Zuko was having a very good day. Perfect, even.

For starters, he had slept very well the previous night, without a single nightmare. In fact, he'd had a very nice dream, the kind he used to have as a child. Occasionally, such a thing would happen and Zuko would wake up happy. Luckily, he managed to stay happy for the entire day, this time.

Not to say that anything great actually happened that day. It was just that nothing bad had happened. Toph hadn't teased him or buried him up to his shoulders in the earth, Sokka hadn't tried to kill him, and Aang hadn't begged him to play some childish game.

Because of this, Zuko was happy.

At least, until he saw Katara.

As strange as it may seem, he had begun to develop a liking for the waterbender., even if she was loud and possibly more short-tempered than himself.

Unfortunately, she was not so willing to give up their past grudge.

But when Zuko saw her that afternoon, he thought, perhaps, she might forgive him. After all, everything else was going well.

However, when he smiled kindly, Katara's only response was to glare and say, "I hate you."

And just like that, Zuko's whole day was ruined.
