Things have been going smoothly for Zuko and Katara's relationship. Though there still were questions and secrets Katara was hiding from Zuko. It bothered him a bit. He knew she was keeping something from him and he wanted to find out what it was. He knew the Avatar was alive. He was waiting for Katara to tell him but whenever the topic arose she'd change the subject. Or she'd play it off like she had no idea what he was talking about. Zuko however knew that the Avatar was alive, he also knew that Katara might be the bait in a plan. But it was up to Katara to tell him the truth.

He was out on his balcony, watching the stars in deep thought.

"Hey, are you cold?" Katara asked.

"I'm a Firebender, I'm never cold!" Zuko turned back to look at Katara, who was holding a large blanket.

"That's too bad," Katara came next to him. "I was hoping we could cuddle and share, but since you aren't cold…"

"I'm freezing!" Zuko pulled Katara into an embrace. She gave a soft squeak. He wrapped the blanket around them.

"I'm worried!" He said as he rested his head against hers. Katara pulled away.

"About?"

"What to do, and if my Father really loves me…."

Katara smiled and wrapped her arms around Zuko. "Stop worrying."

Katara pulled Zuko's face closer and gave him a soft kiss.

"Katara, please be honest with…" Zuko pulled away.

"Yeah?" Katara walked away and went back into his room. Zuko sat down and pulled her into his lap.

"The Avatar's alive…" Katara looked away. "No, he's not,"

"Katara, you're a terrible liar…." Zuko said. Katara sighed. "How'd you know?"

"I did some research on the oasis water…" Zuko said. "That water could heal anything…"

"You found the hawks didn't you?" Katara asked.

"Well, yes…"

"So, what are you going to do now?" Katara got up. "Turn me in and tell your father?"

"No," Zuko replied. Katara eyed him suspiciously. "Why? If your dad finds out and knows you knew something all this royal life will be gone…"

"Katara, this royal life is boring if it means I won't be able to share it with you…." Zuko placed his hands on her shoulders. "If there's any plan to take down my father, count me in!"

"Do, do you really mean that?" Katara asked.

"Yes, I'll even teach the Avatar Firebending…"

"No, about the stuff you said, about me and you, do you really feel that way about me?"

"Yes," Zuko said. "I really like you…"

"You do?"

"Yes, more than anything in the Fire Nation…."

Zuko gently pushed her away. Katara blushed and got on her tiptoes. And there lips met.

"So, tell me more about this plan…"
