"Katara! We're going to be late! Hurry up!!" Sokka shouted as I put some last minute touches to my nearly perfect makeup.
"I'm coming Sokka! Jeez!" Sokka could be so pushy but ignored that, checked myself out one last time and headed out the door.
We had been on our way to a royal ball to celebrate the end of the war and the new fire lord, Zuko. Fire lord Zuko I though to myself.
So strong, brave, attractive, handsome, perfect…I shook my head and though, Get a hold of yourself Katara. You loved Aang now, he loves you. You don't love Zuko. He loves Mai anyway…not you. Though I thought this it didn't convince me that it was right.
Finally we arrived at the Royal Palace. The fire nation used to be the most hated place but even when the war was going on, it was still a beautiful setting here…no wonder the fire nation owned it.
When we walked into the ball room it felt like everyone was there. So many familiar faces…then I spotted Aang who had been wearing his air bender attire because at a party like this people wanted to see the Avatar not a handsome, random kid. And he was talking to Zuko…this was going to be interesting. As I strolled over Sokka strayed off to go find his girlfriend, Suki .
Finally Aang noticed me, "Katara! You made it and you look…" I panicked. Was something wrong with me? "What? it's the makeup isn't-" he interrupted me, "…amazing" I blushed. "You look…" I tried to find an appropriate word but he did first, "Like an avatar I know."
"Well I love it" I smiled. He too blushed.
"Well I leave you guys alone and…and go find Mai I guess." Zuko said unsure if he wanted to leave and "go find Mai" or stay with us but he left anyway. Suddenly the beautiful sounding band played a slow song. Aang blushed a little and I did too. Then he extended out his hand.
"Katara, may I have this dance?" I reluctantly placed my hand on his.
"Yes, you may"
First we danced formally. I hand my arm around his neck, his on my waist then holding each others hands up. Then we moved closer…almost hug-dancing. I rested my head on his shoulder.
Then, I saw Mai and Zuko doing the same thing except they were kissing…and I felt this sudden hate towards Mai…jealousy. And then that's when I realized…was being with Aang the right thing?
