Was this really happening? i thought. Was he really halik me? i didnt want to be kissed. Aang has done it other times, and i've kind of liked it but this time...this time i didnt want to be kissed. i was too angry! i pulled away. "Stop!" i yelled. He looked at me...confused. "I cant do this, Aang. i'm too, what people would say, perplexed. i cant halik anyone right now. i want to halik you...and i also want to halik Zuko but i cant!" Aang looked confused then angry. "Zuko?!" Oh greart, i thought. "No, Aang, what i meant was-" he cut me off. "I cant believe you, Katara! i've kissed you many times and you've never sinabi anything! You want to halik me AND ZUKO?! i just cant believe you." i frowned. "Aang, dont you be putting this all on me!" i said. "Why shouldnt i?" he asked.

"Because-because...i dont know why, Aang! But here's an idea: why dont you leave me alone about it! And right now...i hate both you and Zuko!" he looked at me. "What?" i asked. Aang kept looking at me. Then he finally asked something. "Do you pag-ibig Zuko?" i rolled my eyes. "Aang, dont ask-" he cut me off again. "No, just tell me, Katara. Do you pag-ibig Zuko?" i thought about that.

What was i going to say? 'Yeah, Aang. i pag-ibig Zuko and i hate you'? No! i didnt know. My mind was caught up in thoughts. the thing was, i didnt know what kind of thoughts. i had been through so many things with Aang. Things that i loved and things that i hated. i loved it when he kissed me and i hated it when he was mad or he yelled at me. We'd been through so much. He's the one who always comforted me when i was hurt.

And i hated Zuko before he joined us. He was such a hot-headed freak! He was angry and he always had to get what when he wanted it. But that was because he was hurt and confused. His own father, apoy Lord Ozai, didnt even pag-ibig him, and Ozai even burned Zuko's face to ipakita it. And Zuko also had been partly sripped of his pamagat and his honor. he had to catch Aang to regain it. i've always understood Zuko. We understand eachother madami than anybody. He understands me; i understand him. We are stronger together.

i walked over to my bedroom door. Before i went inside i answered Aang. "Yeah, i suppose i...do," i whispered. Then i entered my room and fell onto my bed.

As i made brekfast i thought about the fight Aang and i had last night. Then i remembered my response to him. "'Yeah, i suppose i...do'" i repeated. sa pamamagitan ng the time the sopas and bred was ready, Sokka was complaining he was 'starving'. "Hush up, Sokka! i've got a lot on my mind!" He looked at me. "What?" he asked. i smiled. "Nothing you need to know about," i sinabi then i searved breakfast.

i didnt sit susunod to Aang this time. i sat susunod to Toph. "This tastes good. Katara," she sinabi to me. "Thank you, Toph," i said. "Yeah, Katara. Really good," Suki said. "Super good," Sokka said. Everyone looked at me. They were pagganap weird. "Whats going on, guys? What, did i do something? Why are you pagganap wierd?" They were still stareing at me except for Toph. Her head was just turned in my direction. "What?" i pressed. "We heard your fight last night," Suki told me. i felt my cheeks flush red and get hot. What?! i thought. "And we also heard your answer," Sokka said. Suki hit him. "Ow," he cried. Everyone was staring. "How did you hear? Were you all listening or something?" i asked terrified. "It was pretty loud!" Toph said. i furrowed my eye brows. "No, no," i said. "I mean my...response."

"Aang told us," Toph said. i looked at him with an angry expresion on my face. i gave him a 'how dare you!' look. "Excuse me," i sinabi and i ran into the hallway. "If the apoy lord doesnt kill him I WILL!" i mumbled to myself. Then i felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Zuko. He was smiling. "I like your answer," he sinabi smugly. i smiled too. i DID pag-ibig Zuko, and i knew it. He was the one for me. We were a perfect match. We understand eachother and...we...love eachother.

i looked into his beautiful golden eyes and he looked into my watery blue eyes. Then he kissed me. This was out first kiss. it was beautiful. it felt magical and enchanting. He pulled me closer to him. He was holding me hard but i didnt care. i had my arms around his neck and he had one hand around my waist and the other in my hair and on the side of my face. He kissed me hard. This was a moment that i would never want to end or forget. When the halik ended it felt like it had lasted for an eternity.
