The Cave Of Two Lovers

Chapter 9

Aang stayed up all night until his head conjured a good plan, a great plan in his mind. He waited outside Katara's tent until she came out. He walked up to her, but Katara walked right passed him and to Zuko. This happened everytime he tried to talk to her. Eventually he cornered her, well Aang kind of isolated her.

He walked up to her. "Katara I really need to talk to you." He glanced at Zuko. "Privately."

"Okay. Let's take a walk." They started walking. Once they reached a clearing a fair distance from the camp Aang stopped and turned towards Katara.

"Okay so I overheard you ad Zuko talking about how you are going to make me regret..." Katara interrupted him.

"One how could you eavesdrop. Two we are going to make Jet regret the horrid things he has done. And three I don't know what you thought we were going to make you regret." Before he could respond Katara walked back towards the camp.

"Can I help?" He asks when he catches up to her. But she had spotted Zuko she ran to him. Giving Zuko a very large hug. The fire bender picked her up and spun her in then set her back down. This happened multiple times. Each time Aang was talking to Katara or practicing with Katara then she would blow him off for Zuko. Every time it made Aang even more enraged. Jet has given up competing with Katara. But seeing Zuko with the blue eyed girl made him want to apologize.

Later that night when Katara was washing the dishes when Aang offered to help. "Sorry Aang," Katara said "Zuko already offered, here he is now." They did the dishes but once they were clean they got into a bit of a water fight. Katara splashed him then be splashed her. This went on for a while. Then Aang yelled at them to stop. They sat around the fire and Aang brought up the fact they haven't seen Azula in a while.

"You're right Aang. Just in case Azula comes back we should go and meet at my vacation home on Ember Island. Trust me its safe. We went there with my mom for fun. Both my sister and father are to crazy to have fun so they don't ever go there anymore."

"I GIVE UP!!!" Aang yelled starting to attack Zuko with earth, water, and air. Zuko started counter-attacking with fire. The fire bender knew he couldn't hurt the Avatar. He was trying to get him into a position so he wouldn't be able to bend.

Katara rushed over, screeching at the brawling boys. "STOP! STOP FIGHTING!" She screamed, "Stop this right now!" Both guys ignored her. She froze them to the spot. "Look I know you both could get out of this but before you do." She said calmly, to the bewildered Zuko and Aang, "Will you explain to me what is going on?"

"Well you know, I don't exactly know what is going on." Zuko said.

"Really it is all Zuko's fault."

"How is this my fault?" Zuko questioned, turning his head toward Aang.

"Let me start from the beginning," Aang said, "well not the 'beginning beginning' but when I came out of the iceberg. You and Sokka let me out of the iceberg. From the first second I saw you I knew you would be my forever girl." Katara looked baffled, "And when we travelled, all of your attention was on me, I didn't have to compete with anyone. Now Zuko is here, it's like I don't exist. I have tried to show and tell you so many times but things just kept getting in the way or interrupting me."

"Oh well." Katara said, then turned to Zuko. "So do you have a story or can we let this go?"

"Actually I do have a story..." Zuko started.
