Katara woke up the next day very tired. She had stayed up talking to Toph till one in the morning. She had pressed the snooze button on her alarm clock three times. Sokka finally had to drag her out of bed kicking and screaming. He even got hit by a few water whips.

Sleepily Katara readied herself from school. She put on dark wash jeans and a light blue tank top with blue ballet shoes. She went to her jewelry box and got out something very special to her. She put on her mothers watertribe necklace that was given to her mother,Kya, by her father,Hakoda. Kya had given it to her before she passed away from illness. Katara looked at the picture of her mother she had on her dresser.

"I miss you mom." she said softly.

Katara left her room and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. She smelled bacon and eggs made be her grandmother,Kana. When she entered the kitchen she saw a guy with black hair and pale skin sitting down at the table. She and blushed and ran into the bathroom to she how she looked. Katara brushed her long brunette hair and let it hang down. She didn't bother putting on make up just some strawberry lip-gloss.

Katara walked back into the kitchen and saw Zuko with a sly smile on his face. Katara confidently walked over to the table and sat next to him.

"Good morning Katara." her father said. Hakoda was reading reading the news paper like he always did in the mornings.

"Morning Dad, Gran-Gran."she politely smiled. She looked at Zuko who was talking to Sokka about future gigs. Sokka glared at her. He was,apparently, still mad at her from earlier this morning.

Kana set down plates of eggs and bacon for everyone to share.

"Take as much as you Want Zuko. There is plenty to go around." she said

"Thank you." He said with a smile.

There was also fresh fruit and cereal. Katara went straight for the Coco Puffs. As did Zuko. When their hands touched Katara's body filled with heat. She felt her cheeks get hot. There was also a spark that went up and down her spine. Like getting hit with a lightning bolt. When Zuko pulled his hand away her blood ran cold. Katara was in a daze for several minutes. She finally came to when Zuko handed her the Coco Puffs.

"Thanks"was all she could muster. She looked at Zuko and could see a faint pinkness in his cheeks."Could he have felt what I felt?" She wondered in her head.

The rest of the meal Hakoda was asking Zuko questions. He asked where he came from, if he had any siblings, and what his parents did. Zuko answered every question. He was from the the West, where most of the old Fire Nation was, he had a sister named Azula, who was Katara's age, his mother had died from illness and his father,Ozai, still lived back west and was a very powerful man. Zuko said he had moved in with his Uncle Iroh a couple of weeks ago. He saw the fliers for a siger needed in Sokka's band. So he came and auditioned for it and got the nitoced when Zuko had talked about his father pain flashed in his Topaz eyes.

"What does that mean." she asked herself.
