Katara sighed as she sat down by the fountain, holding the red firelily in her hand…given to her by 'Fire Boy' as she got used to call him ever since they crossed paths. She looked up to see a tiny figure in distance disappear in the night sky, he had just taken off, having been dragged by Sokka and his dragon, Druk.
She found herself smiling happily at the flower but as soon as that smile came, it disappeared…she frowned, sighed again as she rested her tanned hand on her cheek, the firelily dancing in her hand…she had already gone through this before! And her heart had got broken in the process!
The young maiden bit her cherry colored lower lip as she recalled the moment she made that damned deal with Ozai so that Jet's life could be spared…and how had he repaid her? By running off with the first girl that crossed his eyesight…and now here she was, lost, broken, hesitating before the open door to a new love…a new love that shouldn't have happened in the first place! Ozai's plan was quite simple: seduce Zuko, find his weakness, report it to Ozai and let him do the rest of the work and then…then she would be free!
But the plan didn't work that easy…she had succeeded in seducing the young hero but she didn't find any weakness in him…and to make it worse, here she was now…sighing and slowly falling in love with him…
-What's the matter with me…- she murmured as she started getting up –You think a girl would learn…- she walked towards the statue of a tiny cupid, pointing its love arrow towards her
If there's a price for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
She frowned as she grabbed the statue and turned it to the other side
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!
She threw the firelily away, rolling her eyes as she continued to walk around the garden. However slowly she began hearing tiny voices in her head, telling her completely the opposite
Who'd' ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of
Katara shook her head and answered out loud to those voices in her head
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
But the voices persisted
You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh-oh
She shivered
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love
The dark skinned girl walked around the many statues in the garden
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
The voices returned with the same speech
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad
Katara found herself jumping through a few rocks floating in a fountain
Whoa: No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
Her foot slipped on the last rock and when she thought she was going to fall on the lake, she found her body being supported by a cold statue. Looking up she saw it was a statue of none other than Zuko himself. A silly grin found its way to her mouth.
Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love
She frowned as she backed away from the statue, realizing what she was doing
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love
You're doin' flips read our lips
You're in love
You're way off base
I won't say it
She won't say she's in love
Get off my case
I won't say it
Katara found her way back to the fountain she was sitting at, crossing her arms against her chest; she sat down on the hard stone.
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love
She looked at her side and smiled when she saw the red firelily next to her. Picking it up, she felt its perfume reaching her nose as she slowly lied down on the stone
Oh-ohhhhh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love
