Flipping her hair over her shoulder, she checked her reflection and frowned. She took a step back, pulling at her shirt and tilting her head. A lacy black tank top, a pair of straight-leg jeans, and a pair of sandals seemed simple enough. Katara was usually nervous about first dates, but this was a whole other level. She had changed her outfits no less than eight different times, and she felt butterflies flitting around her stomach all the while.

Katara smiled down at her cat as he wandered into the room and meowed quietly. “What do you think, Appa? Do you think I look good?” He simply looked up at her, blinking slowly. She would take that as a yes. She went over to her dresser and grabbed her earrings just as she heard a knock at the door. Shit. “Uh- Coming!” she called out, quickly putting in the earrings before rushing to the door. She took a deep breath, a smile forming on her lips before she opened up the door. “Hi,” she greeted, feeling a little more shy than normal. Her cheeks flushed almost instantly as she looked up at him.

Katara: Okay, I know you’re going to think I’m crazy but I cannot stop thinking about that guy...

Katara decided to take this time to unwind. Her birthday was supposed to be just that, but obviously it took some kind of turn. No matter, she was determined to make this party at the Lodge Lodge a much more carefree kinda night. She began with two tequila shots and the night sort of took off from there. Katara wasn’t wasted by any means, but tipsy? Most definitely.

As she went around the party, she couldn’t help but notice someone standing off to the side. Was she just imagining things or-? No, it was most definitely him. Zuko. Just when she thought she could forget about everything, he was somehow there. She asked her friend about it, and she simply said that he was the security person for the lodge and was asked to keep an eye on things. She then began to gush about how cute he was, which made Katara roll her eyes. Despite how awkward she felt around him, she decided to not let it ruin her evening. She took another shot and went back to talking with friends.

Sipping on a jack and coke, she hummed along the the music and danced with one of her friends. As the song changed, she got a little more into it. Her hips swayed just so and she was grinning from ear to ear. As they sang and danced, Katara didn’t even notice the guy watching her. She still didn’t notice when he began to move towards her. What she did notice, however, was him pulling on her hips from behind. Almost instantly, she pulled away. He obviously didn’t get the hint, though, because he grabbed at her again. This time, she snapped. “Get off of me!” she shouted, grabbing his hands and trying to wrench them off of her.

Birthday Surprise || Katara & Zuko

Katara was never one to make a big deal out of her birthday. She was content to just got to a lowkey dinner and spend time with her friends. Her friends, however, had something else in mind. They convinced her to get dressed up (definitely overdressed for the bar) and go out. They tried to force her into a birthday crown and matching sash, but she managed to talk her way out of that. 

She was on her second shot when there was a huge scuffle. Looking up, she wasn’t surprised at what she saw. Of course Jet was causing problems. When wasn’t he? Katara rolled her eyes at the scene, knowing Jet was set off by practically anything. The guy probably accidentally bumped him or something small like that. What she didn’t expect, however, was to see the guy he was fighting. It was the guy from the other day... 

Almost as if possessed by something, as soon as the fight was broken up and Jet was thrown out, Katara found herself walking towards him. Her friends called out to her, confused as to what she was doing, but she completely ignored them. He was bleeding, and she felt as though she needed to help him. “Hey, um... I can help with those cuts? I’m a nurse...” She felt crazy. What the hell was she doing?
