Hola! Sorry for not updating in such a long time! I've been super busy with soccer and school... not to mention unnecessary drama. Gotta love that, right? :P

NarniaMagicLOTRDisneyLover: Don't worry! I will definitely get to your requests! I just really had this one on my mind for a while :)

a123b: This drabble is a continuation, but it doesn't have much teenage hormones. I'm already planning a part 3 though, and that one will definitely have some smexiness if I can help it! :D

bassethound1021: Okay, well I don't really know what you meant by Zuko being a baby. If you meant age wise, both Katara and Zuko were supposed to be young. And if you meant how he was crying, well, I'm pretty sure you would cry too if someone important in your life had died. Thanks for reviewing though! It means a lot!

The 13th Heart: Aren't they just so cute! By the way, you should definitely write your idea down somewhere so you can write it later! I'm happy you got an idea from reading my story XD

Sooo...On with the drabbles!

Katara clenched her fists, pacing back and forth in her suite. She was once again visiting the Fire Nation as she had done every year since she could remember. Except, this time, it wasn't as pleasant.

"Who does she think she is?!" The fifteen year old seethed. "She has absolutely no right to call me a third class peasant!"

The girl suddenly whirled around, punching the wall as hard as she could. She ignored her throbbing knuckles and allowed herself to slow her breathing.

From the moment Katara had laid eyes on her, she immediately despised her. She despised the way she walked, as if she were above everyone else, the way she talked, as if it was a privilege to be in her presence, and especially her posture, like she had a board shoved up her a-

"Katara?" Zuko hesitantly opened her door and peeked inside, interupting her thoughts. His shaggy hair hung in his eyes. "Can I come in?"

"Since when have you ever needed to ask to come in?" The girl smiled wryly. "What's up?"

He blushed a bit before stepping inside and shutting the door. "Sorry. I just haven't really seen you at all this past month."

Courtesy of her. Katara bit her cheek to keep from saying it out loud. She was the reason Katara had rarely even spoken to Zuko outside of awkward small talk. She was the reason Katara had spent most of her visit hanging out with Sokka and Azula. She was the reason Katara wasn't able to be friends with her best friend!

"Katara?" Zuko once again broke into her thoughts. "What's wrong?"

She avoided his gaze, guilt keeping her from spilling her opinions. Maybe if she didn't look at him, he wouldn't know what she was thinking like he usually did.

"You don't like Mai, do you."

Well, crap.

Katara sighed. She couldn't lie to him, mostly because he had the freakish ability to read her thoughts. Guess it came with the whole 'best friends' package.

"No. I don't." She admitted, falling backwards onto her bed. He joined her. "She is snobby, and rude, and mean, and just plain bi-otchy."

"She's my girlfriend."

"I know."

Zuko ran a hand through his hair. "Well why don't you like her?"

"I just told you."

"I mean besides that."

The waterbender stared at the ceiling. "Because she hates me. She acts all high and mighty, like she owns the whole world. Whenever I try to at least be friendly with her, she just turns up her pointy nose and looks offended by my presence! She even has this look she gives me. Everytime she sees me, she glares as if I'm gonna stab her in the back or something. She's constantly making rude remarks about my heritage, my looks, my personality. And the stupid thing is, she does it sneakily, so if I get all mad, everyone will think I'm just blowing up on her for no reason! Then, she has the nerve to try and steal you away from me! We are best friends for Agni sake! I'm pretty sure we're allowed to at least talk to each other, but noooo! She has to have your attention every freaking second of the day! And I swear, she's so uptight about everything, I'm surprised she isn't critisizing the Fire Sages! Seriously, what in the world got her panties in a twist?"

For a second, Zuko just stared at her, before a grin split his face. "So you think she's stealing me away from you?"

Katara scowled. "Did you not hear any of that? Cause I'm not repeating it again."

He just sat up on the edge of the bed, still smiling obnoxiously. "Jeez, Katara!"

The girl sat up as well, raising an eyebrow at him. "What?"

"Stop worrying!" He rolled his eyes playfully. "Look, Mai might be my girlfriend, but you will always be my best friend. She's just being jealous. If she's gonna be with me, than she'll just have to deal with it. I know I haven't been a great friend lately, and I'm sorry, but it's just like when we were little. We're going to be best friends forever. No matter what."

She hesitated a second before holding out her pinky as they always did. Kind of like a secret handshake. "Promise?"

He linked his with hers, never breaking eye contact. "Promise."

Even with his comforting words, even when he gave her a warm hug, Katara couldn't help but feel cold and saddened as she watched him exit her room.

But I don't just want to be 'best friends'. Mai's not the only one who's jealous...

Author's Note: Kinda on the angsty, dramatic side. I tried to infuse a little humor before it got all depressing, so hopefully you aren't too disappointed! And don't worry, I'm planning a third part to sorta sum it all up. At least, I'm not a complete failure. ;)

Thanks for reviewing! (I feel so loved!)
