Narrator: Last time we checked, Zuko and Katara agreed to TRY not to fight each other anymore. Sadly, I will not be here for I will go look for Sokka and Uncle Iroh. Narrations will be italicized. Welp…Here I go!!! *packs up, goes micro and jumps into the imaginary book*

Katara gazed into Zuko’s beautiful golden eyes. She smiled as he gave back her stare. There was a moment of silence. Then Katara said…

Katara: Now…would you like to give the water a try?

Zuko: Maybe just for a short time.

Katara: Fine by me…

Katara watched as Zuko started to undress. Apparently the Narrator who went to look for Iroh and Sokka heard this and ran back…

Narrator: This I gotta see *says in a tiny squeaky-like voice*

Who said that?

Narrator: I’m in the book!!!

Ah yes. But aren’t you supposed to look for the others?

Narrator: Others can wait. Okay let see…Katara watched as Zuko started to undress. Her face started to turn red but she didn’t look away. She watched as Zuko took his boots off and slid his shirt down…(who could resist looking at that SUPER SUPER HOT HOT HOT body of his?!!!! :drool: Now if only I could find a guy as hot as Zuko *sighs* Ooooh!!! I know!!! Let’s slow it down!!! *gets cliq remote from Adam Sandler*)

Adam Sandler: Hey! I was using that!

Narrator: Back off Sandler!!! This is way more important!!! *clicks slow motion button* AAAAHHHHH!!!!! *fangirl squee*

Adam Sandler: Give me that! *snatches remote from Narrator’s hand*

Narrator: Fine!! At least put it back to normal! *starts acting like a child*

Alright enough!!! Mr. Sandler, forgive my friend. You may go back now…And you! Go back to finding the others!! I’ll take it from here.

Narrator: You’re lucky I’m tiny, man!!! Welp, I’m off!!!

Sorry for that short pause… Let’s get back shall we?
Zuko dipped into the cold water beside Katara.


Katara: Are you okay Zuko?

Zuko: I’m fine. (shivering)

Katara: Oh please. You really expect me to believe that? You’re cold.

Zuko: What do you expect? It’s freezing.

Katara: It takes a while to get use to the water. Just get to know it first.

Katara went closer to Zuko and smiled.

Katara: Like you did to me.

Zuko: Yeah… I guess your right.

Zuko noticed that Katara was staring into the distance looking worried.

Zuko: Don’t worry. I’m sure they’re fine.

Katara: Yeah. It’s just that…I miss them so much.

Zuko: Me too.

Zuko placed his arm around Katara comforting her. Katara placed her head on Zuko’s shoulder and closed her eyes.

Zuko: We must retire.

Katara: You’re right. We barely slept.

Zuko slowly pulled away from Katara and went out of the water. Then he held out his hand and helped Katara out as well. Katara bended the water out of her under garment and from Zuko’s pants back into the water. Then they put their clothes on and went to where Tai was. Zuko leaned his back on Tai like before then Katara did the same beside him.

Katara: Goodnight Zuko.

Zuko: Goodnight.

Zuko and Katara slept soundly that night. But they didn’t know that Azula sent an agent to spy on them. As they fell asleep, the agent immediately ran back to the palace.

Aang: Who’s there?!

Azula: Hello Avatar. How’s your day so far?

Aang: What are you doing here?!

Azula: Aaw. That’s the thanks I get for coming here? You’re lucky I made time to check up on you.

Aang: What do you want? How can you possibly bring me lower?!

Azula: Just here to let you know celebrations in-

Agent: Princess. I am sorry to interrupt. (entering the cell trying to breathe)

Azula: Go on. Catch your breath.

Agent: I found the traitor.

Azula: Hmmm. Impressive. Zuzu actually survived by himself.

Agent: When I left. He was sleeping with the waterbender.

Azula: Or not…

Aang: They’re alive!

Azula: Not for long. Assemble the soldiers.

Agent: Right away Princess. (leaving the room)

Aang: What are you gonna do?! I’m the one you want!! Leave them alone!!!

Azula: You’re so paranoid. Relax. Me and my friends are just gonna have a picnic.

Aang: How stupid do you think I am?!

Azula: Pretty stupid to fall for a girl who never loved you.

Aang: What?!

Azula: Don’t play dumb. Everyone knows you have a little crush on that peasant girl.

Aang: Her name is Katara!

Azula: Like I care. (leaving the room)

Aang: NOOOO!!!! LEAVE THEM ALONE!!! (going wild)

That night Azula planned for the capture of Zuko and Katara. Not only that she brought her soldiers…she brought her friends, Mai and Ty Lee, as well.

Azula: Alright soldiers this meeting is finished. Rest, for tomorrow, we start the HUNT.

Ty Lee: I can’t wait! It’s gonna be so much fun.

Mai: Oh great. Zuko.

Ty Lee: Yeah I know!!! Isn’t it exciting?

Mai: Hmmm.

Azula: Quit it Ty Lee. You know Mai has issues with Zuzu. Especially now that he’s with that peasant girl.

Mai: I do not have issues.

Azula: Oh? Is that why you hanged his face on your wall and started throwing daggers at it?

Mai: I was practicing.

Azula: Don’t you have a field for that?

Mai: Grrr.

Ty Lee: Stop it you guys. Well… We’d better be getting our rest as well. Goodnight Azula.

Azula: Hmm. Night.

Ty Lee: Come on Mai.

The next morning Azula, Mai, Ty Lee along with a few soldiers looked for Katara and Zuko. Tai felt their presence and woke the two up.

Katara: Tai, what is it?

Zuko: Something’s wrong.

Then before they could say anything else Azula and the others appeared.

Katara: Azula!

Azula: Hello Zuzu and… peasant.

Tai charged but Azula shot him. He crashed on a tree and fell on the ground.

Katara: No!!!

Azula: Take him away. We can manage by ourselves.

The soldiers captured Tai and took him away.

Zuko: What are you gonna do to him?!

Azula: Zuko? Since when did you have a heart?

Before anything else, a voice came from behind the trees. It was his ex, Mai with Ty Lee.

Mai: He doesn’t.

Zuko: Mai?

Katara: Circus freak?

Mai: Hello Zuko. Miss the girl you dumped?

Ty Lee: Hi!!

Katara: Dumped?

Zuko: Mai, I didn’t mean to.

Mai: Oh please. A letter? You could’ve told me straight in the face.

Katara: You were together?

Zuko/Mai: Were.

Azula: Alright. Enough of this personal trash. Let’s settle this professionally… (with smirk on the face)

Zuko: Run!

Katara: I’m right behind you!

As soon as they ran, Ty Lee jumped up to the tree then she kicked the branch sending her body from one tree to another. Then she hopped off and a perfect landing in front of Zuko and Katara.

Ty Lee: Leaving so soon?

Ty Lee tried to strike Katara but since Zuko knew Ty Lee so well, he was quick enough to get Katara out of the way. He placed one hand on Katara’s shoulder and the other hand on her waist then he tilted her backward. Ty Lee’s hand was right above her nose. Katara then kicked with her right foot which sent Ty Lee flying to a tree. Then Zuko and Katara looked at each other still in the position of the “Tango”. Then they looked as Azula came closer clapping her hands. They immediately let go of each other. Zuko lit flames in his hands while Katara got the water out of her container bringing them to her side with her hands.

Azula: Wow. Well done. I’d give it a 10. What do you think Mai?

Mai: Hmmm… Pathetic.

Azula: You’re right. Mind demonstrating?

Mai: I don’t dance. But I do kill.

Mai opened her palms and daggers came out from her sleeves. She ran towards Zuko and Katara shooting the daggers right at them. Zuko threw fireballs at her but it wasn’t enough to hold her off. He can’t hurt her. Mai kept throwing daggers and arrows at them. Then Zuko just stood frozen. He already hurt her once.

Katara: Zuko! Watch out!

Zuko: What?

Mai was heading for Zuko! Katara stepped in front of him and bended the water into where Mai was about to run. As soon as Mai was close enough to the water she bent it. She lifted her arms going from her left waist to her head (like a semi circle). This made the water Mai stepped on to go above her and Zuko (like a bridge). Mai was out balanced and the water she stepped on made her go straight to where Ty Lee was and she landed right on top of her.
Zuko looked at Katara while she was catching her breath.


Zuko: Thanks.

Katara: You better tell me what happened between you two after this.

Azula: If there is gonna be an after.

Zuko: Take care of the others. She’s mine.

Katara went to where Mai and Ty Lee were. She froze them to the tree while they were still unconscious. And just as Katara turned to look at Zuko, Azula blasted lighting straight at him.

Katara: ZUKO!!!

She ran towards Zuko but she stopped half way. She saw how Zuko caught the lighting. She was so surprised. Her eyes widened as she watch Zuko shoot the lighting back at Azula.
Azula hit the tree but she was still conscious. Zuko ran towards Katara and he pulled her hand dragging her away from the enemy.


Zuko: Run!!!

Katara: I didn’t know you could do lightning.

Zuko: Lucky shot. Now let’s get out of here.

Zuko looked back and saw Azula standing up. She was a bit dizzy but she was still good to go. Then Katara looked back as well.

Katara: Wow. Your sister has nerves.

Zuko: Yeah. And I heard it runs in lightning.

They looked back once more and saw Azula shoot lightning at the ice that held Mai and Ty Lee, setting them free.

Azula: Well?! What are you waiting for?! GET THEM!!!! (going nuts)

Mai: Gees… If you’re so good why couldn’t YOU do it?

Azula: Shut up Mai!

Ty Lee: Let’s go!

Azula: Grrr…

Mai: Hmmm…

Katara and Zuko looked up and saw Ty Lee jumping and swinging from tree to tree. Then on the ground were Azula and Mai running towards them. They knew they couldn’t escape. Then while Katara was already prepared to fight, Zuko was looking for a way out. And luckily he found a cave.

Ty Lee: I can see them!

Azula: Don’t loose them!

Katara: Bring it on CIRCUS FREAK!!!

Zuko: Come on!

Katara: Wha-

Before Ty Lee and the others could get any closer, Zuko dragged Katara into the cave which he found behind the huge rocks and vines.

Katara: Zuko-

Zuko placed his hand on Katara’s mouth to shut her up.

Zuko: Shhhhh. *listening to their enemies outside*

Ty Lee: Huh? Where’d they go?

Azula: I told you not to loose them!

Mai: Oh great. Where are WE?

Azula: Forget it! We’ll find them. They couldn’t have gotten far. Let’s go!

Inside the cave, Zuko and Katara have a bit of a problem as well.

Katara: Ow!

Zuko: Sorry.

Katara: Would it kill you to stop dragging me into places?!

Zuko: No but it would’ve killed us if I hadn’t.

Katara: Where are we any way?

Zuko: No idea.

Zuko lit a tiny flame in his hand. Katara was startled. She almost got hit because they were standing so close together.

Katara: Hey! Watch where you light that thing!

Zuko: My bad.

Katara: Hmmm… (looking around)… This seems familiar…(being sarcastic)

Zuko: You’ve been here?

Katara: I’m hoping I’m wrong.

Zuko: Well…Let’s get moving.

Katara: Alright. Let me know when you’re tired.

Zuko: Tired?

Katara: This is like a maze. One way in but no way out.

Zuko: It’s a MAZE. It HAS to have a way out. And if we can’t find it, we can always turn around and…uh…

Zuko turned to look where they entered but couldn’t find it. He found nothing but a thick wall.

Zuko: Where is it?!

Katara: You were saying?

Zuko: Okay…So we can’t go back. If there is a way out, it’s forward.

Katara: Good choice, one problem… which way is forward?

Zuko and Katara looked for the right path but there were so many connections to enter!

Zuko: Well…You’ve been here so lead the way.

Katara: No matter where we go, there’s no way out.

Zuko: Alright. I’ll go first.

Katara: Fine but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

There were four choices and Zuko picked the second. After a few turns they were back to where they were before. Then Zuko entered the first one but it ended the same.

Zuko: Okay. So it’s confusing. But like you said, it’s a maze. That’s how it’s supposed to be. There’s two more left. I’ll take this one and you take that. If I don’t come back you follow me. It’s either that or the other way around.

Katara wanted to disagree but she knew Zuko won’t allow her. So she entered the third one while Zuko went in the one beside her. After another round of twist and turns, Katara got tired and decided to take a rest. She sat down and accidentally found a trap door. She was tired so she sat on a rock. The rock pressed down which opened the trap door. She got startled and she fell off the rock and into the whole behind it. It was like a waterslide only rougher. As she landed, she hit her head hard and she passed out.
When she woke up, she realized that she was back at the beginning of the cave. She knew Zuko wasn’t gonna be successful either so she just sat there and waited for him. Zuko actually found a whole just enough for him to slide through. So he did. He slid down the whole and was so proud when he landed. Though he was on his knees, he still couldn’t wait to brag to Katara what he discovered.


Zuko: Yes! I made it out!

Though he was out, he wondered why it was still dark. He lit a flame in his palm and was quite disappointed that he was kneeling before Katara. He looked flushed as Katara stared down at him. His face began to turn red in embarrassment.

Katara: So you finally found a way out huh?

Zuko: What?! How could this be?!!! (standing up)

Katara: Well… Zuko... I TOLD YOU SO!!!!

Zuko: Alright! Alright! So I was wrong. At least I thought of something. Not that you helped. Besides, if there’s no way out how’d you get out the last time you got stuck here?

Katara: Well, I wasn’t finished… (sitting beside Zuko)…Before I forget, I found sticks along the way.

Katara placed the sticks in front of them for Zuko to light. Zuko lit it and found Katara staring at it like she was lost in her thoughts.

Zuko: Hey…

Katara: Oh… Um…Like I said... There’s one way in and no way out…unless…

Zuko: Oh great. You could’ve mentioned that earlier before we tried every connection!

Katara: I’m sorry okay! I didn’t want to freak you out.

Zuko: Oh please. You know me better than that.

Katara: Alright. This maze has a story behind it. It’s a bit weird but that’s how I got out.

Zuko: If it means our only way out… Let’s hear it.

Katara told the story of Oma and Shu to Zuko. Zuko’s eyes widened when he heard how they were going to find their ONLY way out.

Zuko: WE HAVE TO WHAT?!

Katara: I know! I know! But it’s our only way out.

Zuko: Hmmm…Fine. Let’s just make it quick.

Zuko leaned forward ready to kiss Katara. At first her eyes widened. She couldn’t believe that Zuko was really gonna kiss her. But then she thought of her friends and leaned forward as well. She was reaching for Zuko’s lips.  Then, as there lips were about to touch…

Zuko: Katara… (in a soothing tone)

Katara: Yes? (still closing her eyes waiting for Zuko to kiss her)

Zuko: Katara…

Katara: … (trying to reach Zuko’s lips)

Zuko: Katara? …Katara are you alright?

Zuko sounded like he was confused with Katara. Katara opened her eyes and realized she was only day dreaming. Zuko was further from where she sat. XD

Katara: Wha-wh… whoa…whoa..

She was startled of the sudden fall back into reality. Since she was leaning forward, when she was startled, she got out balanced and started to wave her arms trying her best to gain back her balance. But she didn’t. As soon as her face was about to hit the ground, Zuko caught her. She was blushing a bit because Zuko’s arms were wrapped around her waist.

Zuko: Okay? That was… *cough* um... something… (trying to hold his laughter but chuckled a bit)

Katara tried to pull herself up by holding onto Zuko’s shoulder. Then when she looked at him he had that “you are so weird” look in his face. She tried to explain herself by saying…

Katara: Hehe…eh...Uh …yeah… I meant to do that…uh…This is… *cough*… awkward.

Zuko: Heh… So… *cough*… Mind telling me who you were kissing?

Katara: (gasped and held her breath for a few seconds trying to find a way to explain.) Well…

Zuko: You must’ve hit your head hard huh…

Katara: Yeah… Wait…what?

Zuko: When I came here you were lying flat on the ground. I figured that you fell off a trap door and hit your head on the wall.

Katara: Oh.

Zuko: I found sticks on the ground where you fell so I took them and lit them up.

Katara: Right. So…

Zuko: I was waiting for you to wake up but when I turned to look, you were already sitting up. I thought you were awake but I guess I was wrong… (trying to hold his laugh)

Katara: Yeah…Well… I forgot to tell you the story behind this cave.

Zuko: Alright…Let’s here it…

Katara told Zuko about the story like she did in her “day dream”. Then like the way she imagined, Zuko’s eyes widened as he heard how they were going to find their ONLY way out. But Zuko didn’t say what Katara thought he would.

Zuko: Um…Wow… (scratching his head)…That’s…

Katara: I know! It’s crazy but-

Zuko: That’s a really sad story.

Katara: What?! That’s all you have to say?!

Zuko: Well what do you want me to say?! “No problem I don’t mind kissing you though my heart is still aching from my recent break-up with Mai!” ?

Katara: I’m sorry. I guess… I…

Zuko: Forget it. Let’s just get this over with so we can get out of here.

Zuko leaned forward like Katara imagine…She hoped it was for real this time. She was suspicious at first but then she thought.

(in Katara’s mind)
Katara: Is this for real…I mean the first one was just a day dream. How can I be sure if the second one is different? Hey, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for the third time.

Katara saw Zuko coming closer and closer. She was nervous but what other choice do they have. She closed her eyes and hoped it was for real this time. As their lips were about to touch, Katara expected Zuko to say her name and wake her up again. But no, she didn’t hear anything. But she did feel a warm kiss on her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Zuko kissing her forehead.

Katara: What are you doing?

Zuko: Looking for our way out.

Katara: It’s not gonna work. It has to be-

Katara was annoyed cause Zuko made her face turn so red. After Zuko kissed her forehead, he kissed her nose.

Katara: Look. Don’t you understand? It won’t work. It has to be-

Katara was shocked. Cause after Zuko kissed her nose, he went directly to her lips. Giving her the warmest kiss she ever had. She moved backward in shocked as Zuko kissed her. But then she felt her heart yearning for more. As Zuko relax his back she pressed her lips into his. Then Zuko slowly pulled away and opened his eyes. He saw Katara still closing her eyes as he looked over her shoulder.

Zuko: Found it.

Katara looked back and saw a light not far from where they were.

Katara: Yes!

Zuko: I guess the story wasn’t so bad. (blushing)

Katara: Yeah… Not bad at all. (also blushing)

Zuko: Come on. Let’s get out of here.

Zuko helped Katara up and they both went out of the cave.

Zuko: So… last time…who did you get stuck with?

Katara: Aang.

Zuko: Really? How’d it feel.

Katara: It was fine I guess. *whispers to self*(But don’t worry you’re a way better kisser)

Zuko: What?

Katara: Nothing.

Together they walked in the woods towards the beautiful sunset.

Zuko: Wow. We stayed in there for a long time.

Katara: Yeah. But hey, I guess it was worth it.

Zuko: Really?

Katara: We found a lot of trap doors which we can avoid if ever we get stuck again.

Zuko: Again.

Katara: But I hope not. (trying to continue the uncut sentence)

Zuko: Yeah.

They continued to look for their friends like the Narrator did. Speaking of which…where is she…*flips page*



Narrator: I’m BAAAAACK!!!! *jumps out of the book and turns from micro to her normal human form.

It’s about time you got here. So what happened to the others?

Narrator: Got every single detail right here. But I’m really tired…It’ll have to wait… How bout I take a nap and tell you all about it when I wake up.

I understand. Do as wish. You can summon me anytime if ever you need help once more.

Narrator: I’ll try to remember that. Welp… I miss my job and I’d like it back now please.

Alright. Goodbye everyone. Hope you enjoyed a short journey with me. Till next time.

Narrator: Couldn’t have said it better myself. Well everyone. I shall take a rest and…I’ll see you next chapter.
