We reached to Ember Island (with a little help from Appa of course) just in time to see the play. I noticed that Zuko brought Mai along with him. My soul ragged with anger as I saw the two of them holding hands. Aang was with me too, but we didn't held each others hands; he tried though, but I always released it, as I said before, I just pretended to love him. We sat at the same seats we did last time, Toph however, sat up front so her feet can see it. I sat next to Zuko like last time, but Mai was sitting next to him too, and Aang sat by me also.
The play began. The actors for Sokka and I were the same, and their lines were too. I guess Sokka was incorrect about the play being "good". When they got to the part wear Sokka and I found Aang frozen in an iceberg, Aang was relieved when he found out that it was an actor that played him, and not an actress. However, the actor had a girlish side. As the play went on, I gazed at Zuko. My eyes glistered as I looked at his dark coal black hair, and pale white skin. My eyes met his, but just for a moment; for his eyes flickered away, and instead, my eyes met with Mai's. The expression on her face told me to stay away from him, but how? How could I stay away from him. I love him. He's my heart and soul, my life, my spirit, my whole. I looked back to the play and watched it until they got to the part where Zuko and I got trapped in the cave.
I payed close attention to that part, even though it was an awful memory of Zuko betraying me, I still payed close attention, and I was surprised that they changed the lines. And here is how it went:
Me(actress): Zuko! What are you doing here???
Zuko(actor): The Dai Li captured me and threw me in this cave, I didn't expect to see you here!
Me(actress): Well I didn't expect to see you either!
Zuko(actor): You look pretty.
Me(actress): Thank you....
And as the actors that played us approached. They kissed! I turned to Zuko to see his reaction, but he wasn't there. So I rose from my seat to look for him.
I finally found him on the porch were Aang and I were last time. He was looking at the stars (I haven't realized that it was late!).
"Is everything alright Zuko?" I asked.
He didn't answer. I approached him.
"Is something wrong?" I asked him again.
"I'm sorry..." he whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"When I betrayed you, back at Ba Sin Se!"
"Zuko, that was a long time ago, and I have forgiven you!"
"But that was cruel of me!" He began to shout.
"Zuko--"
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!! I was confused and lost back there! I gained your trust, but I was a fool to loose it.....the first trust and confidence I had!"
"What about your uncle?"
"IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!! MY UNCLE'S TRUST WAS FOR A FATHER, BUT YOURS...........yours was powerfull, and comforting........AND I LOST IT!!!
"YOU HAVEN'T LOST MY TRUST ZUKO!!! I TRUST YOU NOW!!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!! I---"
"YOU WHAT????"
"I love you...."
There was a long silence.
"What about the avatar?" he asked.
"He's sweet and kind....but it is you who I truely love!" I began. "Ever since I've notived something special about you.......but I was too frightened to confess to you.....besides, you have Mai, and I know that you two are happy together."
As I was heading back inside, he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him. Our eyes met, and slowley my lips met with his, and when they touched, I felt a spark run through my spine, and shivered my whole body, until I felt numb and slightly fainted. He grasped me tight to make sure I didn't fell, but our lips were still locked tight, as if someone had glued are lips together. But still, I felt joy in my heart and spirit, and hope was born in my soul and mind that there might be a chance for Zuko and I to be together.

Katara was in her room. Aang is lying on the bed.Katara lied down. Aang hugged her and told her that he loves her. She fealt sick in her stomach.
That night Katara had a dream. She was lying on the grass i the flowers. She was looking at the clouds. She noticed Zuko lying next to her. His eyes were closed. He didn´t have his scar. He looked like an angel. Katara got up and sat next to him. He was opening his eyes and saw her.She kissed him. She didn´t know why,but something was telling her to do it. Suddenly they weren´t on the ground any more.They were up there in the sky. They were standing next to each other. Then she saw Aang on Appa. She looked at Zuko but there was fog all around her. She started falling.
She woke up.Aang is in the living room. Zuko came in with the news. He and Mai are getting maried. It was great news but Katara wasn´t happy. She is in love with Zuko!
(part 2 coming soon)
