(A/N Katara is now in a small house in the basement, chained up to a wall. Zuko is waiting for her to wake up)

Chapter 9

"Aang". Katara whispered

Katara dream state

Katara now finds herself on a beautiful warm sandy beach; she is in her usual bathing suit and lying out on a beach towel.

"Umm… where am I?" She said out loud

"So you finally woke up from you nap huh?" Said a mysterious voice

"Hey! Who's there?" Katara demanded

"Chill honey it's just me." The man replied

It was Aang, but he was old, to be exact about 10 years, that's when she noticed that she was older also.

"What's going on here?" Katara said in a confused tone

"Oh, you go to be kidding" Aang chuckled to himself "We're on our honeymoon." Aang said to her as he planted a kiss on her check sitting down next to her

"What!" Katara said in a half excited half shocked

"Yeah, you've got your betrothed necklace on right now!" he said to her

She raised her hand and felt the hard surface of a necklace, not her mother's but a new one she hasn't felt before. She looked down and saw it; it had the same silver/blue mixture as her old one but on it was a combination of Air and Water patterns.

"Don't you remember? We got married two days ago and we're on our honeymoon." He said trying to make you talk back to him

"OH AANG!" She cried as she jumped on top of him making him fall over

"'Bout time you remembered" He said as they started to kiss again

After what seemed like a life time of endless making out they sat up again, Katara resting her head on Aang's strong shoulder.

"This is so wonderful." Katara said in a satisfied voice "Everything I wanted"

"Then this is going to be difficult" Aang said to her as he stood up

"This is a dream…"

As Katara started to wake up the vision she wanted more than anything faded away…

"Ouch, my head" Katara said realizing the throbbing pain in the back of her head

she tried to move her arms, but stopped after she heard the sound of rattling chains

"HUH! What the…" She started

"Well, well, well, look who finally decided to wake up." Came the evil voice of Zuko

"YOU! What's going on here" She yelled at Zuko

Zuko didn't say anything, he seemed to be more interested at staring a something, a wicked smile started to grow on his lips.

Confused at this she followed his eye site to only be angered to see that he was "admiring" Katara's chest

"Pervert" Katara said

Laughing Zuko stood up and walked over to Katara, lifting up his hand he ran the back of his hand down the side of her face. Katara shook her head to escape the cold feel of his hands.

"I have a question for you Katara." He said staring at her

"And what would that be?" she said hating the fact she had to spend this much time with Zuko.

Zuko approached her again

"Ugh, he's going to touch me again"

instead of that he planted a big, wet kiss on Katara,

"Why waste time with that loser Aang when you can have me?" was his question

Katara only stood there with a shocked expression

back to Aang

Aang has been following Zuko, ever careful not to be noticed by him. He was now hiding in a tree and watched Zuko carry an unconscious Katara into the house and saw a light emerge from the basement window. Quickly he leapt from the tree and crouched down to peer into the window, and what he saw brought anger… the biggest anger he has ever felt in his life. Zuko has kissed Katara.

"That son of a bitch is going to die" Aang swore

Aang bolted to the down, knocked it down with a single blow and started for the downstairs basement.

Katara still in shock from the kiss finally recovered from it… and started to spit.

"Ugh, what the heck" she said to him "That was discussing"

"Oh yeah right you liked it, you just won't admit it" Zuko said crossly

There came a loud bang and Zuko knew that someone just knocked down the front door.

"So he did come, well this is one time the Avatar won't defeat me". Zuko said as he drew a bottle from his pocket, inside of it was a strange yellow powder.

Katara not only noticed that powder but that he had the keys on a chain attached to his belt, her keys to free her.

"Oh, and if you plan to tell Aang about what I have in store for him, I'll kill him" Zuko said pointing to the dagger in it's slit.

Finally the door to the basement blew open and there stood one very pissed off Airbender.

"Oh, Aang so glad you could join us" Zuko said very casually as he took a seat on a chair. "Please join us" he continued gesturing him in with a wave of his hand.

"You know what I've come for." Was all that he said to Zuko

"Sure no problem." He reached behind him with his other hand and grabbed the keys and held it out for Aang. "Here are the keys, and as you can see Katara is fine."

Aang looked over to see a very weary Katara softly crying. She knew what was going to happen to Aang and she couldn't stop it form happening.

"Fine!" He said as he came near Zuko reaching for the keys

"Sucker!" Zuko yelled and threw the powder at Aang
"Ahh." Aang yelled in pain, before he fell he got a punch in on Zuko knocking the keys away near Katara.

Katara not being able to do anything watched in horror as Zuko's evil plan took place; looking away in pain she heard a small splash as the keys to her chains fell into a dirty small puddle.

"I wonder…" Katara pondered. She started to do some hand movements in an attempt to move the keys to her, at first nothing happened, but slowly the keys were lifted to her where they were then placed in her hand.

"Yes!" Katara said in joy and started to struggle to get the cuffs off of her.


"Oh how the mighty have fallen". Zuko gloated as he circled the now paralyzed Airbender crouched on the floor. "Finally after the years of searching, hunting you, cornering you, I finally have you".

Struggling over the pain in his body he started to speak "You…. Dirt bag" was all he could managed

"This is the best day of my life" Zuko said truthfully


Katara has successfully freed herself, and was now heading toward her fallen hero, when she did noticed the still half way full bottle of the paralyzing powder and got the most brilliant idea ever. She took the bottle and concealed it in her robe.

"Oh Zuko". She said seductively as she moved toward him

"Huh, Katara?" Zuko asked confused, as the last thing he remembered of her was she was changed up. Katara continued to move to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and gently moved her hands up and down his cheek.

"I was thinking about you question earlier, and you're right I should stop wasting time with Aang because I have you." She said and started to kiss his check.

Both Zuko and Aang looked at her stunned, Aang for the fact that his heart was breaking, Zuko for the fact that a girl is actually kissing him. Katara saw the look on aang face and gave him a wink to let him know she was faking it.

"Wow! Zuko I never knew how strong you are". Katara said as she rubbed his arms "And how smart you are for leading a foolish boy right into you trap like this."

Chuckling he said "Yeah, and what else."

"Uhh…" Katara started running out of things to say. "Your… eyes are so beautiful and… yellow" Katara said stroking his hair.

"Hmm, prove everything you say Katara kiss me" Zuko said as he leaned in for a kiss

"What ever you want." Katara said reaching for the powder and throwing it in his face.

"Agh, what did you do". He said as he fell to the floor like Aang.

"Tricking you, so Aang and I can escape." Katara said as she walked over to Aang

"I'm so sorry, I should have warned you."

"It's ok Katara, let's get out of here." Aang said as Katara helped him up so the two could leave.

"Oh, and Zuko" Katara said to him

"Ugh, what now." Zuko said struggling to get up

"If you're still interested in getting a girl to like you why not try one of Azula's friends, like Mai." Katara said and the two finally left

"Grr, yeah right…. Actually not a bad idea" Zuko pondered this as his uncle came in

"So Zuko did you have a restful night?" Iroh asked

"Well let's see Uncle I'm in the basement in a dirty puddle in the same cloth as yesterday and paralyzed… WHAT DO YOU THINK?" Zuko yelled at him
