Title: The Prince and The Legend
Rating: This chapter is rated General, actually. Next chapter, I'll get back into the Mature category. ZukoxAang Yaoi
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. I am not making any money off of this story. I'm just having a ton of fun writing it. This is fun.
Warnings: Do not read if you don't like man-on-man action, but you should read if you like a fanfic that follows the television show as much as it can.
Yeah, I'm still trying pretty hard to create a story around the episodes of 'Avatar, The Last Airbender'. Any comments, messages or any feedback is greatly appreciated. Readers are the best.

I can't think of Zuko like that, Aang thought. A boy avatar has NEVER liked another boy like that before. Why would I even dream up something like that? Is there something wrong with me?
Aang sat, asking himself all of these questions, fighting with what is right and what is wrong in his head. He looked to his left to see Sokka and Momo, sitting in boredom underneath the midday sun. They looked more bored than Aang had ever seen them before. He looked to his right and saw Katara. He could see her beauty, so natural and serene. She looked back at him and smiled a great big grin.
Forget those dreams. They mean nothing. Katara is my true love. She...she was meant for me. Aang had finally made a decision about what was to be done about his dreams. He nodded his head, and returned the grin. He would erase his dreams from his mind and love Katara unconditionally forever. Aang decided that he needed something to give to Katara to show his love for her. I've got it! I'll make her a new necklace!!
About half an hour passed and a green fish jumped out of the river next to the team's tent.
"Look," Katara said as she stood up and pointed towards a fish jumping out of the water. Sokka rose with excitement, and began to assess in his mind how he was going to capture the jumping fish.
"He's taunting us," Sokka said, "You are so going to be dinner!" Perhaps the heat had gotten to him or his natural nonsensical self got the best of him, but he proceeded to attempt to capture the fish. He grabbed his fishing rod, but couldn't find the fishing line. "Hey, where is the fishing line?"
"I didn't think you would need it, Sokka," Aang smiled and lifted his creation. He had turned the fishing line into a beautiful necklace.
"Aah! It's all tangled!"
"Not tangled, woven," the last airbender said with a smile. Turning to Katara, he said, "I made you a necklace, Katara. I thought since you lost your other one..." He smiled from ear to ear and held the necklace in front of his face.
"Thanks, Aang. I love it." Katara seemed like she liked it, but Aang could feel her disappointment.
"Great, Aang. Maybe instead of saving the world, you could go into the jewelry making business," Sokka sighed.
"Well, I don't see why I can't do both," Aang said, nonchalantly. Despite the fact that he knew, Katara didn't like him right now, he knew that there could be something that he could do to get her onto his side. There is no way that I can like Zuko in that way. Katara will like me. She has to.
"Stop taunting me!" With that, Sokka jumped in the water to try to catch the mischievous fish.
"So, how do I look?" Katara struck a pose to show off her new accessory.
"You mean all of you, or just your neck?" Aang's body stood to full attention. "I mean, they both look great." I like this girl. She is everything great.
"Smoochie, smoochie. Someone's in love," Sokka said as the fish he had been trying to capture eluded him once again.
"I...well..." Aang spoke nervously.
"Stop teasing him, Sokka. Aang is just a good friend, a sweet little guy, just like Momo."
"Thanks..." Aang muttered in defeat.
Moments later, a man in the forest near their small camp was being attacked by a wild platypus-bear. Aang was gearing up to aide the man when Appa came behind the animal and roared ferociously. The bear hybrid stood on chills and ran off, leaving an egg behind. Aang and the gang stood around as the man being attacked told them about a fascinating fortuneteller named Aunt Wu. The man left, and the gang decided that she would be worth meeting.
The crew sat in a row, waiting their turns to have their fortune's read in Aunt Wu's shop. Katara went first, so Aang decided to leave and listen in. He put his ear as close to the door as he could, and could hear part of Aunt Wu's reading.
"So, do you see anything interesting in my love line," Katara asked.
Aunt Wu replied, "I see a great romance for you. The man you're going to marry."
"Tell me more!!"
"I can see that he's a very powerful bender." Aang had heard all that he had to. He removed himself from the door, and sat next to Sokka full of glee.
Aang was next to have his fortune read. "You, there, come with me." Once in the other room, Aunt Wu began, "This is the most reliable method of telling your fortune. The bones never lie. Go on, pick one." Aang chose the first one he saw. "Now throw it in the fire. The heat makes cracks in the bones, and I read the bone cracks to tell your destiny.
The bone cracked and exploded, causing the room to fill with smoke and the fire to grow. "Your destiny, this is incredible, you will be involved in a great battle. An awesome conflict between the forces of good and evil. A battle who's outcome will determine the fate of the whole world!"
"Yeah, yeah. I knew that already. But did it say anything about a girl."
"A girl? You want to know about a love?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, but I didn't see anything."
Aang turned his head, and looked into the fire. No girl? No love? Will I ever find love? Aang sighed, defeated again.
"Oh, look! I must have missed something," Aunt Wu said as she lifted one of the bones. "Right here, it says, 'Trust your heart and you will be with the one you love.'"
"Really? Thank you, Aunt Wu." Aang jumped up with excitement, but in the back of his mind, he knew that Katara wasn't what his heart wanted. It wanted Zuko.
