Fire Nation Palace 8 Years Ago

"Zuko," a voice whined annoyingly.

"What?" Zuko asked annoyed.

"I wanna play with it, now!" Katara whined pounding her fists into the ground.

"No," Zuko said ignoring her. Katara getting mad stood up and started whining even more. Zuko's eyes widened as he dove for Katara knocking her down.

"What was that for?" Katara asked annoyed as she stood up, putting her hands on her hips waiting for an answer. Zuko pointed to the garden around them that was sopping wet. Katara looked around with a shocked look on her face and gasped.

"I did that?" Katara whispered in shock. Zuko nodded his head slowly and slowly walked up to her. He grabbed her arm and they started running towards Ursa's room, knowing that is where they would find their parents.

"We're telling Mom and Uncle Hakoda. They need to know about this." Zuko said as they ran through the corridors of the palace. After running down through a few halls the reached Ursa's room and found Hakoda, Ursa, and Iroh sitting in the ante-chamber drinking chai tea, while chatting.

"Is something wrong dears?" Ursa asked as she sipped more of her tea as Hakoda and Iroh studied them.

"I created a wave in the garden when I got angry at Zuko." Katara said quietly. Zuko and Katara looked at the ground shamefully.

"Darling," Ursa started quietly, "You're a water bender."

"I am?" Katara said shocked, eyes widening. Ursa nodded and Hakoda's face broke into a grin at the same Katara's did.

Two Years Later in the Southern Water Tribe

"Hey Look!" Katara exclaimed as Sokka hit her with a snowball.

"What?" Sokka asked as Katara pointed the other way. A few moments later he felt himself being covered in a mountain of snow and heard giggling from Katara. Sokka scowled at her, but the scowl soon turned to shock.

"What's that Sokka," Katara asked, big blue eyes looking up to her older brother for an answer.

"A Raid. It means there is a raid going on." Sokka growled. Katara looked up at him in shock.

"I'm going to find mom." Katara yelled as she started running towards their hut. She heard voices from inside the house and snuck in towards the back of the hut.

"For the final time, I'll ask. ..Waterbender?"

"If I tell you, will you leave the village alone?" Kya asked as she looked at the solider. He nodded his head and Kya sighed.

"I am." Kya said quietly. "Are you taking me prisoner or what?" Kya asked. The man nodded his head 'no'.

"I'm not taking prisoners today." He said as he threw a fireball at Kya. Without thinking, Katara extinguished the flame to stop it from burning her mother. The solider looked around the hut and saw Katara.

"Well, well well, who might I ask who this is?" Yon Rah asked. Katara knew who he was, she and Zuko would pull pranks on him all the time in the palace.

"My daughter. Now leave her be." Kya threatened, glaring daggers at Yon Rah. Yon Rah chuckled at them smirked.

"Why?" Yon Rah asked. Kya looked up at him and smirked.

"Oh, if you haven't hurt, well Momma Bears like to protect their cubs. Katara leave NOW. GO FIND YOUR FATHER." Kya yelled as she watched Katara escape from the hut. Yon Rah took her by the wrists and led her to his ship, changing his mind about keeping her prisoner.

"Dad," Katara yelled as she looked for Hakoda. She saw him fighting off a soldier and then led him to the hut.

"She's gone," Katara whispered, tears dropping from her bright blue eyes. Hakoda looked at her and sighed.

"Katara what happened?"

"Yon Rah came into the hut. He killed Mom. The first fireball he threw at her and then he found me and mom said for me to find you. He killed her while I went to get you. It's all my fault!" Katara sobbed painfully, mourning her mother.

Fire Nation War Chambers, year and a half later.

"Uncle please! I'll keep quiet, I promise," Zuko said begging his uncle to let him into the war chamber. Iroh sighed.

"If you must Prince Zuko, but you must not utter a single word."

"Ah Prince Zuko," a councilman bowed quickly greeting him. Zuko walked up to the front of the room and bowed in front of his father and took a seat next to him.

"So Lord Hishebo, do you have any suggestions?" Ozai questioned.

"Ah yes indeed m'Lord." Hishebo said as he stood up.

"First you would send in the new requites to the front lines." Ozai nodded his head allowing him to continue on.

"Then as the soldiers fight with the recruits, the Elites will come in behind them and kill them off."

"No!" Zuko yelled without thinking. He stood up against Lord Hishebo.

"Why would you send the recruits there? You're killing off the soldiers for no absolute reason so you attack the other forces? How can you be that cruel?"

"No Prince Zuko," Hishebo spat, "That's how we do things in the Fire Nation."

"Must we have an Agni Kai to end this dispute?" Ozai asked smirking.

"Yes," Zuko asked knowing he could be the old hag.

"Sunset, tomorrow afternoon." Ozai stated smirking. Zuko stalked out of the War Chambers and headed to the privacy of his room awaiting the fateful day to come. He walked over to his desk and took out a piece of stationary.

Dear Katara,

I know that…

"Prince Zuko," Iroh asked as he walked into his room. Zuko looked up and sighed.

"What Uncle?" Zuko muttered, not wanting to deal with anyone at that moment.

"Forgive me nephew," Iroh said as he walked out of the room leaving a questioning Zuko behind. Zuko went to sleep later that night. Not knowing his care taker walked into his room to see how he was faring. She walked over to his desk and picked up the stationary and gasped at what was written on it, not believing she would ever see or hear that name said ever again.

"You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher," Ozai spat as he bent an inferno into Zuko's face. An earth-shattering scream pierced through the air of the Agni Kai arena. Ozai started to walk away but stopped when he saw Iroh approach him.

"Ozai, let me go with him." Ozai looked at him like he was a piece of stinky rotten meat, "If you must brother," Ozai said as he spat brother out like it was poison.

Southern Water Tribe Present

"Who do you think it is?" Katara asked as she looked at Sokka.

"I don't know. There shouldn't be any more raids after the last one." Sokka explained. The ship crashed through the wall of snow and crashed into the village slightly.

"Where is he?" a masked solider yells. He grabbed Kanna and held her in a threatening stance, "He's about this age, Master of all elements." He threw Kanna back towards the small crowd into Kataras arms. As he threw the older women over his face plate fell off and into the snow revealing who he was.

"Zuko!" Katara squealed, letting go of Kanna and hugging Zuko instantly not caring what the others were thinking. Zuko looked at her in surprise.

"Katara?" Zuko whispered hoarsely, faced contorted into shock, then into happiness. Instantly he hugged her back not wanting to let her go.

"Gods, I missed you so much 'Tara. Only the spirits know how much I missed you. Agni.." Zuko trailed off as he let go of her grinning at her sheepishly. The soldiers on the ship looked shocked at the scene, and Iroh of course just smiling at the two teenagers. The soldiers looked at Iroh expectantly and he just waved it off telling them to leave them be. Katara looked up towards the ship and soon saw Iroh on the deck.

"Iroh!" Katara exclaimed as she ran towards the ship ignoring the looks she was receiving from the soldiers and women on the tribe. Katara hopped on board the ship and ran towards the deck to hug Iroh. Iroh saw her coming up and offered his arms to her embrace.

"Such a beautiful way to start the day, eh Princess?" Iroh said grinning at her.

"What are you and Zuko doing here Uncle?" Katara asked as she looked at him, getting out of his embrace.

"Too many questions Princess, let's get down from here and talk down below."

"Katara? Who are these people?" Kanna, the old women, Zuko had realized, was Katara's grandmother.

"Uh Gran, this is Prince Zuko and Prince Iroh." Katara said vaguely, not saying too much information than needed.

"How do you know the Fire Nation Princes then?" Kanna asked getting angry, trying not to raise her voice at her only granddaughter. Katara sigh and let out a deep breath.

'You remember when dad would take me out those four to six months right? Well his best friend was the Princes of the Fire Nation, Lady Ursa. He knew her as a child because she grew up here in the Southern Water Tribe. She's half water tribe, half fire nation. Her mother was the northern tribes princess and her father was Avatar Roku's son. Her mother died when she was eight and she then moved to the Fire Nation with her father. She married Prince Ozai and they then had Zuko. We've basically known each other since birth. Plus we haven't seen each other in over five years." Katara said quietly, not wanting to talk about her other life in the Fire Nation.

"Your father took you to the Fire Nation?" Kanna asked bewildered.
