"It's really hot here," Toph complained, rubbing the sole of her left foot. Teo rolled his eyes at her and whisked her onto his wheel chair, she screamed and folded her arms. She ahd refused to wear a mask, but had given in to the old fire nation dress.
"Cut it out Haru!" The Duke complained as Haru poked him in the back. He laughed and poked him again.
"Cut it out, both of you," Katara turned around, glaring at them and then laughing and Haru smeared the makeup on his face into a kind of blue color.
"You guys go have fun, I'll meet you back here in three hours tops," Katara waved as the other kids ran off, Toph and Teo still in the wheelchair together.
Katara set off on her own, knowing what and who she was looking for but not letting herself believe it. Suddenly someone grabbed her shoulder and whirled her around. She was face to face with the blue spirit, which she had come to know as Zuko, the fire lord.
"Z-zuko!" Katara gasped and he covered her mouth. There was a muffled whisper from behind the mask.
"I think I love you." Katara started to gasp as he pulled her closer, lifting up his mask just so his mouth was visible, also parting her veil.
He touched their lips together.
They stood there for as long as they could. Katara savoring his warmth and his fire flakes smell, Zuko feelings the smooth feel of her skin.
"I have to go," katara finally gasped, untangling herself from Zuko. "Meet me at the lily ponds tomorrow at midnight," she added in a whisper and ran off, Zuko left to stand in her mist.
