Katara had been facing the entrance to the movie theater when two boys strode in. The one in the front was her brother, Sokka. Then, she noticed the person behind him. Zuko. He had dark, shaggy hair that fell to his eyes, eyes that contained a blazing hearth. Calm but could easily become uncontrollable. Warm but harsh. But above all else, she saw the giant scar that stretched across the side of his face. She looked away hurriedly, hoping he didn't notice her staring.

"Hey, there are the boys," Suki mused. She sprang up from the metal bench they were sitting on and walked over to Sokka, planting a quick kiss on his cheek.

"Hey Suki," Sokka smiled and wrapped his arm around her. She held his hand in hers and waited patiently for Zuko and Katara to speak. She had a feeling this would work out well as a smirk appeared on her face.

Right as she turned around, Zuko's eyes met Katara's. Her cheeks turned red under the heat of his amber eyes. Blue hitting gold. Zuko took a small step forward as Katara rose from the bench.

"Hi, I'm Zuko. Nice to meet you." He could feel his cheeks turn slightly pink, and prayed that Katara didn't notice. But he knew she didn't, as she was focused on something else-his scar. He had always been conscious of his burn, especially around new people. The pain of his story was a lot to bring up, especially in casual situations like this.

Katara could feel his gaze focus on her eyes. Her face turned red again as she shifted her eyes to hit his. "I'm Katara, nice to meet you too," she rushed.

Sokka, thankfully, broke the awkward silence between them, and suggested they head to their seats in the theater. Zuko and Katara quickly agreed and trailed behind Suki and Sokka.

As they walked down the hall, Zuko noticed Katara's smile, as well as the slight spring in her step. Already more expressive than Mai, Zuko thought. He needed to stop thinking about Mai, but he just couldn't quite yet. He expelled the thought from his mind and shifted his attention back to Katara. She exuded optimism with each step she took, and as he admired the confidence with which she carried herself, Zuko couldn't help but feel sure that this date would be one of the best he's ever had.

"So Zuko, have you seen this movie before?" Katara spoke, breaking the reoccurring silence between them. She had noticed him staring off into space and wanted to have an actual conversation before the movie started.

"Only a million times. My family always went to see it when it played," Zuko responded after he recovered from being startled. A small grin appeared on his face as they continued down the hall, almost at their stop.

"That's nice," Katara was unsure of what to say. "This is my first time seeing it." Katara started twirling a piece of her hair.

They had made it to their stop, walking into a black room, other than the bright screen playing the annoying ads you see before every movie. What could have been said was shushed as they moved to their seats. The filed into the row, Suki then Sokka, next to them Zuko and Katara. Finally settled, Sokka passed out their candy. Sokka, being the gentleman he is, offered some of his candy.

"You guys want a kiss?" Sokka said innocently, reaching into the bag on the floor.

In unison, Suki and Katara responded, "yeah, sure." Then giggled at their perfect timing.

Zuko, however, was a bit confused. "What?" Zuko raised an eyebrow.

"Come on Zuko, it's just a kiss," Sokka replied and help up the bag.

"Oh, yeah, thanks," Zuko said awkwardly, trying to play it off.

Sokka passed out the Hershey Kisses as the movie began to play.
