A/N: OK, you guys, I know I said that this was going to have a major surprise, but I think I'm going to use that for another story- I seriously just came up with an idea, and the whole story formed in my head last night. This is basically an epilogue- it's not a really good ending, but whatever. So, this is the last chapter, I can't believe it, but it is. It kinda wrapped up on its own. Onward!
A week after all of the commotion about the dead, Katara sat on her new bed at the Fire Nation Palace. She was dressed in a colorful kimono-like dress, and was really scared. Zuko had said he wanted to talk to her, and she was meeting him soon… She was pretty sure she knew what all this was about, but didn't know what the answer would be. She truly loved him, and always had. She had known he would come for her, and been wishing on a star every night since her capture. They had caught up, and were closer than ever and now she was certain she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
"Lady Katara, Fire Lord Zuko wishes your companionship in the gardens."
"Coming."
She followed the youth out to the turtle duck pond, where Zuko was waiting. The youth bowed, and left.
"How are you?" he asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Good. You?"
"Fine." Zuko took a deep breath. "I don't like it."
"What?"
"Being Fire Lord. It's not me. Me is traveling with you and Aang and Sokka and Toph."
"I know. This isn't me either. I want to go out there and help… I almost miss sleeping on the ground every night now. How did you survive? It's not fun to live in a palace."
"Yeah… I've been thinking. I'm going to give Fire Lord to Iroh for now. He knows what to do… and I want you and I and Sokka and Aang and Toph to go help people. And search for my mother."
"Really? That would be awesome. Does Iroh know?"
"Yes. He has one requirement, and I have one requirement. They're the same thing."
"What?" Katara said, startled by the news. Zuko pulled something from his back and handed it to her.
"Will you marry me?" Katara breathed in sharply.
"Yes."
A/N: Short and sweet! I just wanted to get across the point that they are getting married. Thank you all so much for reviewing! Bye!
