Disclaimer I don't own ATLA..unfortunately…

This is my first ATLA fanfic and I don't really know the animals, land, and food but I was mad as hell that they actually felt comfortable leaving Katara and Aang together.. Blah.. Anyways this story is not for kids and please leave reviews or don't hey I just wana type.!

Um oh the story is like after Aang and Ozai finish fighting…enjoy!

"Katara!" the young avatar called from down below and the water bending master looked up from the building she was helping to construct. She smiled upon seeing him and hurried to finish her last bit of the construction. It had only been three weeks since Aang defeated Ozai and Katara had recruited many Northern Water Tribe benders along with her grandfather Pakku and his pupils.

They figured fusing the architectural design of the Northern Water Tribe and how the Southern Water Tribe used to be was easier than coming up with a completely new one. Their building had a come along way but of course Katara complained about the size being that there were only a handful of villagers in her tribe. Pakku assured her that she and Kana were not the only hotheads and that there would be plenty of rebellious teens and women who came to the south for the less culturally ruled South Pole.

Katara glided down the building and landed stealthily in front of him.

"Wow Katara things have really come a long way and so soon!" The air bender looked up at the city which was a splitting image of the North Pole. They were building from the inner city to the outer part of it, so now all they had to do was put up the barriers that closed the city inside.

"Yeah well we've worked relentlessly day and night even the non-benders have helped out." Katara was staring at the bridge above them that lead into the school behind them.

"I've come to take you to the Fire Nation for Zuko's coronation," he said childishly and left out the part that she was going as his date. Katara's mind somehow flipped over to Zuko and the first time they really actually fought, "You little peasant, you've found you a master-" her flashback was cut off by Aang nudging closer to her. Katara looked at the little boy and let out a sigh she had no idea she was holding. Katara could read between the lines and see the ulterior motives turning in his head but she hadn't the heart to let him down.

"Yes of course let me grab my things and you ready Appa!" Katara ran to the royal palace which was now her home, it glistened and shined and of course was easy to find her door because a statue of her was standing outside of it. The South Pole decided that since Hakoda was the chief he should be dubbed King and Katara and Sokka princess and prince of the Southern Water Tribe. Katara thought it all foolish and the idea of changing them from tribe to kingdom was a bit over the top.

She saw Pakku and her Gran Gran taking a walk and she instantly ran over to the lovely couple. They smiled upon seeing their granddaughter filled with joy and a small sense of purpose. They knew that her heart and mind was searching for something that she would not find in the South or North Pole.

"Gran Gran and Grandpa Pakku I am on my way to the coronation of the Fire Lord!" Katara said after bowing respectfully to the two older couples. They both hugged her and wished her well on her travels.

"Katara keep your mind open to all possibilities both good and bad," Kana said and Katara nodded before heading off to meet up with Aang and Appa of course he was happy to see her but she had a few words in the back of her throat trapped and no matter how hard she tried she could not wield them to come out. Soon they were on Appa and headed to the Fire Nation; Katara was very happy to travel again she just had no idea the road she was about to travel. They road mostly in silence, with the exception of groans from Appa and Aang's desperate sigh trying to get her to ask what was wrong. Katara only heard Yue calling to her in a faint cry she chumped it up to the fact that the sun was ruling the sky and Yue was harder to reach out to at that time. She promised her that she would visit her tonight to receive her message.

"Katara we're here!" Aang finally called out and Katara looked down at the Royal Palace and without all of the negativity it was actually beautiful. Once they landed they were bombarded by servants rushing them to their rooms so that they could get dressed for dinner. Katara taste buds were interested in more of the Fire Nation food, it was actually quite tasty.

"I am Ame and I will be your guide and servant during your stay at the Fire Nation." She introduced and bowed low before her. Katara did not like the formalities and the levels of superiority in her eyes no person was greater than the other.

"No need for all of that Ame I am a water tribe peasant and no better than you," Katara offered and Ame looked up confused and somewhat insulted.

"You are Master Water Bender and Princess of the Southern Water Tribe you're no peasant." Ame pushed and decided that the subject was not of importance right now she had to be scrubbed and cleaned for dinner. Ame approached her and began checking her measurements against a piece of scroll she already had.

"We have to get you scrubbed clean and dressed for dinner; we'd hate to keep the Fire- Prince Zuko waiting. Now he's approved of everything in your wardrobe for important things like meals and the Royal coronation." Ame stated and Katara began taking off her clothes and followed Ame into the bath room so that she could be scrubbed clean and primped for the dinner. For a second she thought that her olive skin would become pale and porcelain like those of the Fire Nation if she was scrubbed any longer. Just as her patience was wearing Ame pulled her out and was about to dry her off but Katara stopped her and insisted that she could do some things for herself.

Katara also put on her own under bindings which to her didn't bind much at the top. Her attention was quickly drawn to something bright blue and appeared to be shimmering. As Ame pulled it further out of the armoire she saw that it was a dress, her dress gossamer having only two thin layers. The bottom layer was silk with semi-white clouds and the top layer was like a veil, and off all things it had two splits up the side. After putting it on Katara noted that the dress was strapless and she prayed to Yue she wouldn't be tugging on it all night.

"Princess Katara you look beautiful enough to steal a man's heart with one gaze." Ame stated and Katara doubtfully walked over to the mirror to look for herself. When had she blossomed into a- a woman? Katara bit down on her lip and looked at Ame as she slid on her heeled sandals then sat down in front of her vanity so that Ame could tend to her hair. She gathered the top half of her hair and tied it in a ponytail and the bottom half hung down her back and over her shoulders.

There was a knock on the door and Ame broke her gaze at Katara's reflection in the mirror to answer the door. She came back in and gave Katara small nod, in her opinion such a beautiful woman was wasted on a kid two years younger than her.

"The Avatar is here to escort you to dinner," she said before bowing again and stepping aside to exit the room. Aang felt his knees buckle as Katara stood before him, he had to ask himself did she freeze him because he couldn't move.

"So Aang, how do I look?" Katara asked taking on a pose that almost caused him to pass out. He scratched his head and tried to formulate a thought once Katara noticed his blush she simply grabbed his arms and led the way to the banquet hall.

They entered the banquet hall and as soon as they were noticed all movement and conversation ceased. Zuko had been talking with one of the sages about his responsibilities of the Fire Lord and his expected behavior. Zuko was confused and slightly paranoid so once the room fell quiet he made his way through the crowd to see what all the non-fuss was about. Zuko felt like someone had knocked the wind out of his chest and all of his memories floated back to him. A part of his body wanted to reach for the scar on his chest but he could not will himself to move.

Ty Lee had come forward as well and looked at Katara with envious eyes. She pouted a bit and looked down at her pink gown, she was supposed to be the prettiest girl there, but oh well second place was still ok. Zuko didn't know if he was the only one who saw the sign on her thigh that said taste me. He began licking his lips and was suddenly nudged by Toph who was trying to discreetly warn him Mai was coming.

Katara hated the attention but she put a smile on her face and tried to get the boy next to her to move. His eyes were on her too but his body didn't seem responsive. Her eyes went to the blind girl who was mysteriously looking dead at her with accuracy. She was wearing a green and gold kimono with her family's insignia sewn through it as the active design. Her eyes then travelled up to Zuko and she felt her body blush, he was adorned in blood red robes with black outline his black silk pants were barely noticeable under his robes and for a moment Katara wished she could see through clothes.

Katara smile almost faltered when Mai appeared and tucked her arm into his. Her skin was just as pale as ever and she wore her hair in its usual style her gown was simple and elegant and matched his in a way that couples should. She had rubies adorned around her which amplified her look, it was good that the dress was simple because anything other would have look ridiculous with the amount of jewelry she was wearing. Mai shot her a disgusted look before looking up to her boyfriend and tugging on him.

Zuko was still staring at Katara wondering how she could be courting a child, had it been him he'd of taken control of the situation and instead of following her he would lead and made sure he shot every man in the hall a deathly stare to let them know she was taken. But a last his girlfriend was tugging on him and his fantasies would have to wait. Zuko forced himself to tear his eyes away from the water bender and give his undivided attention to Mai. After another minute of tugging and pulling Katara managed to get Aang's feet moving and she made her way over to Toph, Zuko and of course, Mai.

She hugged Toph and repeatedly told her how beautiful she looked in her green and gold kimono.

"Thank my mom, Sugar Queen…so Aang you look nice in your monk robes," Toph said and Katara was taken a little aback. Toph on the other hand did not mean to let those words flow out of her mouth but somehow they did on their own accord.

"Thanks Toph…wait how do you know?" Aang asked finally out of his trance and now interested in how Toph knew what he was wearing. They began talking and laughing but Katara was distracted by Yue's calling her again. Katara slipped away from Aang and headed out to the balcony and looked up at the moon. Yue appeared before Katara looking exactly the way she did as she died not too long ago.

"Katara you look beautiful…no matter this chat has to be short…it has come to Tui and I's attention that your destiny has not been recognized by you yet. There are many ways one could help rebuild the world Katara but you are meant to help rebuild it in another way, one that will not always be easy but I have no doubts you are up for the challenge. Someone is coming, all I can say for now is that you misunderstood Aunt Wu." With that she vanished and Zuko walked out and Katara's thoughts never connected to make them useful.

First chap is up soooooo...hate it or love it or you just wana wait and see? Lemme know..gonna put the next few chaps up kinda soon
