Day 7: Storm

The clouds around the gAang were dark and stormy, so Katara found a place for them to land. What the rest of the gAang didn't know is that the place that Zuko picked for him and Katara to rendezvous was right next to it.

Zuko was separated from his uncle by 'accident.' He was traveling fast to get to his rendezvous spot with Katara. Every once in a while, he would climb a tree to see how far away he was. He really enjoyed his time with Katara, because they would catch up, as in maybe making out for a while.

The sky was getting darker quickly. The clouds were making it do that, not the fall of night. Zuko knew that it was only just around noon, so the only logical reason would be the storm. He thought he still had about another mile to go until he reached the spot. He silently climbed a nearby tree, and was shocked to see the Avatar's bison on the ground, not very far away. That was their rendezvous spot he was in. Climbing down a little farther in his tree, Zuko got all comfy up there when he saw Sokka, presumably collecting firewood. Zuko decided to be a little devious, and he shook the branches in the tree that were near him. Sokka took that as an animal nearby, so he dropped his firewood and pulled out his boomerang. Slowly spinning in circles, he searched the trees to find the offending animal. From the ground, he might have looked threatening, but to Zuko, he looked pretty stupid. It took all of Zuko's concentration not to burst our laughing at him.

Once Sokka was gone, Zuko dropped to the ground, and started laughing really hard. So hard, that he couldn't breathe for a long while. When he once again regained his breath, his stomach growled. Katara and her friends were already eating, so he took off his pack and opened it. Opening it, he grabbed out some bread, dried meat, and dried fruit. He feasted on that, barely being able to wait until he could talk with Katara.

It started to rain, at first slowly, then it turned into a nightmare. Katara had Toph and Aang make them a giant earth tent, covering their entire camp, to keep the fire going and Appa dry. But Zuko had only a blanket and an extra set of clothes for cover. He set up the blanket, so that if he sat down, he wouldn't get wet. Well, more wet than he was currently. A small flame was kept alive in his hand, sometimes threatening to go out. It seemed an eternity that he had to wait for Katara to come.

When Zuko saw Katara come into his little clearing, he stood up. Quite a stupid idea, because his blanket was right above him, so his head ruined his shelter. Zuko stumbled, being blinded by his blanket, and fell on his royal face. Erupting from Katara's mouth was a fountain of giggles, that could not be contained no matter how hard she tried.

Zuko pulled the blanket off his head to see Katara doubled over with laughter. The sweet sound of it filled the air. He walked over to her, starting to laugh, and doubled over as well. Once their giggle fits were over, Zuko re-set his blanket above the ground, and lead Katara over to it. Katara put her sleeping bag that she brought over them do they could stay warm through their conversation.

As they were nearing sleep and the end of their visit, the storm got a little lighter, but not by much. Zuko had half of his face covered in Katara's hair, when he realized something. This is what their future would be like. Whether they were still doing it sneakily, or in the privacy of their own home. It didn't matter to him, he just wanted Katara.

"Katara, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Humph?"

"W-will you marry me?"

Katara turned around to face Zuko, and saw that his face was completely serious.

"Yes! But, you have to be the one to tell Sokka."
