"w..what changes??" I barely squeaked out.

"leave us." Zuko said as he addressed the ladies.

"yes, prince Zuko." Ingrid said as she bowed and motioned for the ladies to follow her out.

once they left Zuko went over and practically fell onto the love seat.

"I'm going to be sitting on my father's right." Zuko said with a sigh.

"isn't that good?" I said confused.

Zuko's hand rubbed over his face. "Usually yes, but Azula will be sitting on your right." He said as he looked up to see my reaction.

"y..y.. You mean... I'll.. Be sitting....w.. With...A...Azula?" I barely got out. Ohmyword my nerves had just gotten ten times worst.

"he's." Zuko got out. His eyes scanned my outfit one more time. "You look really nice." 

I looked up up at him again. What was with the sudden change of topic? "Thanks." I said as I sat back down on the bed. I was trying to work through this new information.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

she was obviously in shock of what I told her. She really didn't like Azula. I don't blame her. But her's are for a different reason. Azula was the person who tried to hang her brother and father.

she looked up at me. "Why did they change it?" She looked confused.

"because my father wants Azula to toy with you."  That response didn't seem to surprise her. "He also is going to announce our engagement," that got her attention again.

she let out a bitter laugh. "I forgot I was engage."

"I did too when my father mentioned it." I let out a little chuckle. "I need to get ready." I got up and opened the door. "Call my dressers." I told a guard.

"Yes, Prince Zuko." He said as he walked away.

i turned around and saw Katara staring at me. "What?" I asked.

"do I need to leave so you can get dressed?" She asked.

"no. All they are going to do is put my armor on me." I told her as I walked into the bathroom to get freshened up before the dressers come.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

he walked in the bathroom and didn't come out till there was a knock on the door. He came out and yelled a "come in"

One man and one women came in. They walked over to a chest in the corner and pulled out this dark gold armor. 

The walked over to Zuko. 

"Hello, Prince Zuko." The women said. She handed him a thick shirt.

Zuko pulled off the shirt he had on and threw it over to the pile on a basket. His daily workouts were paying off. Even though he had little cuts all over his chest he had abbs. Not just little abbs. These were really pronounce. 

All to soon he pulled over that thick shirt. Soon the man was putting the armor on him. They never said a word till they were done.

"will that be it?" They asked. 

"No that will be it." Zuko said as he waved them off.

soon they were out of the room. Zuko walked over to me. It wasn't a normal walk though. It was as if he was stalking prey.

"soo.." He said as he stood in front of me almost touching my legs.

"yes?" I said getting a little nervous.

he leaned over so his arms were on either side of me and came a little closer. I could feel the cold metal on the inside of my thighs as he came closer.

"you think I look good without a shirt on?" He asked as he smirked at me. "I saw you staring." 

I could feel feel my cheeks start to heat up and I looked away. I felt his warm fingers wrap around my chin.

"it's nothing to be embarrassed of." He said with a grin. Her slowly inched a little closer so our foreheads were almost touching.

i could feel his warm breathe fan across my face. His eyes slowly looked down to my lips that back up to my eyes as if asking permission. I granted it by moving closer to him.

his lips crashed down onto mine with a fierce passion. This one was to like the one before. This one was more intimate. 

I felt let his tongue brush against my bottom lip asking permission for entrance. I was about to let it when there was a knock at the door.

Zuko groaned in announce. "Ignore them and maybe they will leave." Zuko said in a whisper.

the knock came again but louder this time. Zuko groaned again. but soon backed away from me. "Come in." Zuko said at the door. 

A servant boy came in. "Your father is ready for you and Lady Katara." The boy said as he stared at the ground.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

the boy was obviously terrified of me. "Ok." I said in a clipped voice. The boy stood up straight still without looking at me and practically ran out the door.

i looked over at Katara who was also staring at the floor with a sweet little blush on her cheeks.

i slowly walked over to her and took my pointer finger and hooked it under her chin and raised her face so she could look at me. 

I gave her a small sweet kiss. "It's time to leave for the party." I said in a whisper as we broke apart.

she rested her forehead on mine and gave a annoyed groan. "How long is this party?" She asked.

"a hour or two." I replied as I stood up again. She looked at me with those huge blue eyes and nodded.

she slid of the bed and followed me out my door.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

i followed Zuko till we got to this huge doors. The doors had little golden and red dragons carved all over it. Two guards pushed open the doors.

my breathe caught in my throat when I walked in. The room was buzzing with activity. There was a sweet little melody playing as people danced in the middle of the floor. There were tables lined up against the walls.

"follow me." Zuko said as he walked around the room. 

it only took a moment till I saw where we were walking. 

Fire Lord Ozia was already sitting down at the head of a table. He looked over to us.

"Ah prince Zuko and Lady Katara." He said as his eyes looked over my outfit. "Come sit." He said without taking his eyes off me.

his stare was very unnerving.

Zuko sat on a cushion then motioned for me to do the same.

"ah, and here is Princess Azula." I heard Ozia say. I looked up to see Azula walking over towards me. She had a look that looked like she wasn't happy about something. 

She slowly took the seat next to me. I wrapped my hand around Zuko's right. 

I looked up to Zuko to see him looking at me. But slowly I felt Zuko move his finger so they were intertwined with mine.

"ah, so the little birdie has come to join us at this party." Azula said as she took a sip of the wine that was I front of her.

"be careful Azula." I said with a sweet smile. "I'm not so sure you are old enough to drink that." I felt Zuko try to hold back a chuckle.


Azula just looked at me with a frown. 


"I will be." She smiled back. "As long as you are too. We wouldn't want you to get sick off of yours." She said with a smile. 

We had gone into a silence.

"Katara, do you dance?" Ozia asked me. I didn't know how to respone.

"umm, yes." I responded.

"Zuko, why don't you take her to go dancing." Ozia said as he looked over to his son.

"yes, father." Zuko said as he pulled me up from my seat with the hand that was still intertwined.

zuko was actually a good dancer.

"that was really funny what you said to Azula." Zuko said as he twirled me.

"Awwwww, thanks. I loved her reaction." She smiled back to me.

"azula's eyes practically popped out of her head." Zuko said with a deep chuckle. 

"Ya." I said as he dipped me. The music slowly came to a halt.

Zuko lead us back to our seats.

Ozia looked over to us then stood. "Lady and Gentlemen, Tonight we don't only celebrate the start of the new year." Ozia said as he grabbed his drink. "But the day of conquering not only the Earth Kingdom but also the Water Tribes now that my son." Ozia motioned to Zuko. "Is marrying the Princess of the Southern Water Tribe, Lady Katara." There were low murmurs in the crowd. "Now enjoy the food and drink and have a good new year." Ozia said as he took a sip from his drink.

i got a bit sick when the servants brought out the food. Because of me marrying Zuko Ozia will be one of the rulers of the Water Tribe now that my father is dead. He will get the job because he will become my father in-law and thus the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe.

i artfully shuffled my food around on my plate. Once the dinner was done and Zuko was pulling my arm to leave Azula leaned over and whispered in my ear. 

"Your brother screamed for mercy when I hung him." I knew I paled by the worried look that Zuko gave me when I finally stood. "Good bye, little Birdie." Azula said with a sweet voice.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

katara was like a Zombie till I got her to my room.

"what did my Sister say to you when we left?" I asked her as I closed the door.

she just looked at me with eyes rimming with tears. "That Sokka screamed for mercy when she hung him." She said as the tears started to flow over her cheeks. She didn't know?

"come here." I said as I sat down on the chair. She slowly came over to me. I pulled her onto my lap and rested her head on my chest. it wasn't my place to tell her.

"shhhh." I said as I brushed my fingers through her hair.

slowly her tears stopped and her breathing evened out. I slowly lifted her up. She was so light. I laid her on the bed and started to take off my armor. I threw off this heavy shirt I had to wear then slowly crawled under the blankets.

i pulled Katara to me and slowly fell asleep with the feel of her head on my chest and her breathe to acrossed my face.
