This is why I love fan fics of Zutara (which did not make it in the series). Below here, what you are about to read, is not written by me. It is written by someone else on fan fic. For the Link, click here.
The door to Zuko's cabin opened with a small squeak. Zuko ignored it, and buried his face even further into his silk pillow. If it was the Captain, whatever it was could probably wait. He listened as the soft footsteps padded closer to his bedside.
"Zuko." Somewhere in the bleariness of being half-asleep, Zuko realized that it was Katara talking.
"Mmphf." He mumbled into the black fabric below him. Maybe he was still dreaming. Or maybe she'd go away, and let him sleep in. Zuko raised his internal temperature slightly, Katara had obviously let a breeze in.
"Zuko wake up." A hand that Zuko didn't see nudged his shoulder. Katara tapped her toes on the carpet beneath her. "I know you're awake Zuko." Damn. "I know that firebenders rise with the sun." There was a pause, and Katara elaborated loudly. "The sun has definately risen."
Zuko smiled into his pillows. She wasn't going to give up, was she?
"Get up. We're about to dock" She said, and Zuko opened his good eye. She was kneeling at his beside, putting them both at eye level.
"So?" Zuko asked, his voice muffled by the pillow.
"So get up! We're getting off this boat. You need to get out of your room once in awhile." She pushed at his arm. Zuko inhaled deeply, closed his eyes, and began to stretch out on his bed like a cat-hawk. Katara sat at the edge of his bed, and the was a squishing sound and she wrung water out of her hair.
"Who told you firebenders rise with the sun, anyways?"
"You did. Don't you remember?" Katara stood up. "You rise with the moon-" She walked into Zuko's view and stood in front of the porthole. "-And I rise with the sun."
Zuko frowned down at himself. "Oh. Right." He looked up -he looked up at her- and time stopped. The sun flooded in behind Katara, and it wrapped around her curvy silhouette. Her hair was down and loose and weighted by the water still in it; and she was wearing something white and tight and still slightly damp. She was dripping all over his floor, but Zuko couldn't bring himself to care. The room suddenly smelled like ocean and something pretty. Flowers, maybe, or ginger, or sugar? Whatever it was, it smelled heavenly...
Her skin glowed where the sun touched it, and her eyes glittered. Zuko was grateful she hadn't notice he was staring at her body, and her exposed waist and hips, and the way everything clung to her, and...
...And why exactly was she wearing that? How many other people had seen her like this? How many curious eyes on board had-
"What...What are you wearing?" Zuko felt himself blush.
Stupid...Stupid...Stupid question...
Katara crossed her arms over her chest self-consciously.
"Training gear. I was training."
Zuko found himself speaking against his own will. "You were training in your underwear?"
"It's no different from you training without your shirt."
Zuko's eyes darted to her backlit figure once more.
It was very differentfrom when he did it.
He rubbed the bridge of his nose, avoiding her gaze.
"Agni help me." He muttered. He wasn't sure if it was a request or a statement.
He grinned. It was probably both. It wasn't every day a situation like this came along.
"You waterbend in your white underwear?" It was probably not the best idea to point out that the underwear in question was entirely transparent. It was also probably best not to keep staring.
"I've always trained in my underclothes." She looked surprised.
Actually, she looked cold.
Probably best not to tell her that either, at the moment.
"They're easier to move in."
Zuko shifted uncomfortably. Did she really have to say that? Zuko closed his eyes briefly, but it didn't help. In fact, the images that danced in front of his eyes only made it worse.
"I thought you knew." She continued.
"How would I? You've never worn your-um, training clothes when you were sparring with me."
She stuck a hand on her hip. "Well its not like it would have mattered even if I had."
Zuko blinked slowly.
"I think it would've mattered." It's definately an unfair advantage...
"Huh?"
Change the subject, Zuko...
"I'm up." That's an understatement. Zuko bit his lip hard, trying not to laugh.
"Now what?"
"We're going shopping." She said, smiling. She was trying to cheer him up.
It worked.
Oh how it worked.
After all, just because they were best friends didn't mean he couldn't notice how beautiful she was, did it? Zuko knew everything else about her, knew what he admired and why they were friends, so knowing how she looked while training couldn't be much different...
"Shopping?"
"Shop-ping." Katara drew out the word, like she was talking to a small child. "For Supplies."
"And what if I don't want to go shopping for supplies? A Fire Lord doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to."
Although it was very likely she could make him want to do anything she wanted.
Katara lifted her chin. "A Fire Lord isn't stupid enough to disagree with a master waterbender on board a ship."
His eyes narrowed and Zuko fell back into his pillows. "You wouldn't dare. It would be an international incident."
Sages.
He was egging her on, on purpose.
Katara met his stare- "Try me." -and Zuko knew that very moment he would have lost any argument he might have had with her.
Zuko sighed, and a small flickering flame escaped between his lips.
"Just supplies? No random statues or Tsungi horns? Because I am not doing music night anymore, no matter what Captain Jee suggests."
Katara snickered. "You play an instrument?"
Expertly.
Being a good musician was supposed to have other merits after all.
"No." He said a little too quickly. He couldn't figure why, but playing any instrument for Katara would have made him even more nervous that anything else. "I don't. I can't play at all, and I have absolutely no musical talent, none whatsoever."
"I didn't know you played an instrument."
Damn.
"My real love is acting." Zuko deadpanned.
"I didn't even know you had a musical night." Katara mused, twirling a lock of hair around her fingers.
"Don't get any ideas. I refuse to play."
"Spoilsport." Katara stuck out her tongue.
"But seriously, just supplies? This isn't a grand scheme to get me to buy out an entire marketplace?" Zuko looked at her suspiciously.
"It's a grand scheme to get you out of your room for a few hours. You can't ignore the world forever."
"Fine. For a few hours we can all take a break and-What are you doing Katara?"
"Hold still!" She commanded, and Zuko froze in place, unable to breathe. She was leaning over him, trying to tamp down his unruly hair.
A lone droplet of water slid down from her hair, onto her neck, and down her chest, disappearing into her bindings. He watched, mesmerized.
Zuko could only pray Katara wouldn't notice that the room had become stiflingly hot. She shifted again, and it was just too, too much. Her sea-scent, the way her skin was glowing, and the vivid blue necklace that was tamped to her throat from water. Even the heat she was throwing off, and the tempting urge to lean forward and inhale her neck, it was all overwhelming.
The fact that her chest was directly in his face...
He swatted her hands away. "I'll take care of it in a minute. Let me get ready, and then we can go, okay?"
Whatever it took to get her out of there.
Katara nodded then stood up, and headed for the door.
"Katara, wait." She paused, and Zuko found himself standing up and walking for his chest of drawers. He pulled out a red and gold shirt, one he would wear at night if he felt like it, like he had been doing now, and tossed it to her. She snatched it in midair.
"It's cold outside." He said, trying hard not to grin at the reason why he knew that.
She pulled it on over her wraps, and tugged it tight around herself before tying it with the gold sash. It was big on her, falling just to her knees; and the cut was a little low, revealing a sliver of white bindings, but she was pretty in red.
She stood for just a glimmer of a second, and Zuko realized that she looked good in his shirt, and it was so much better than seeing her in her training outfit. She looked like she belonged in his shirt, or at least much more than he ever would.
"Thanks." She smiled, and opened the heavy metal door, slipping out as quietly as she came in.
Zuko groaned and slid to the floor, her teasing voice echoing in his head once more.
"Firebenders rise with the sun..."
She had to say that when she woke him up, didn't she?
End.
Did you enjoy it? Huh?! huh!? *Spazzes out* Oooo Zuko is so sexy and Katara is hott!! ^ ^ WHY MAIKO AND NOT ZUTARA?! WHY?!
*Heart attack* O.o......beeep.......
And you know something...this song reminds me of Zuko hehehehe from Katara's thoughts. :D
But, I just feel I can confess to you
It's gon' be hard but.. Alright here it goes
Imagine if the pillow that you cried on was my chest
And the tissue that you wiped your face with was my hand
Girl, imagine if you needed advice about some other guy, I'm the one that comes to mind
Not try'na hear you tell nobody that I'm just a friend
Just try'na make sure I'm that body that you call your man
And anytime you need a shoulder, it's yours night or day
Well, what I'm try'na say is..
I wanna be, the last number you call late at night
Said I wanna be, the first one that you dial when you open your eyes
Wanna be the one you run to, wanna be the one that ain't gon' hurt you
I wanna be, yeah
Wanna be, yeah
Be the man makin' your girls jealous (Girl, I wanna be)
Be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas (ooh)
Whatever you need, girl it's all on me
Your soldier, your friend, or your lover (ooh)
Girl, I wanna be
Would it be cool, would you mind if I called you my boo, (my boo)
What if the next whip you was pushin' was the one I bought for you
Can I be the one that meets your Pops and take your mama shoppin'
Be the only one they liiike (wait!), have you thought about it (wait), Really thought about it
Maybe you should take some time, call your girls and talk about it (yeah)
Cause I done already made up my mind (my mind)
Don't need no more time to know if I wanna be with you
I wanna be, the last number you call late at night
I wanna be, the first one that you dial when you open your eyes
Wanna be the one you run to, wanna be the one that ain't gon' hurt you
I wanna be, yeah
Wanna be, yeah
[ I Wanna Be lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Be the man makin' your girls jealous (I wanna)
Be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas (All the fellas, yeah)
Whatever you need, girl it's all on me
Your soldier, your friend or your lover (hey)
Girl, I wanna be
Put me on your screen-saver, all over your Myspace and
Make me one of your five favorites, that's where I wanna be
The one you cryin' for, stayin' up all night fightin' for
Wanna be your good, bad, love, hey, Girl!
Cross my heart, hope to die, on everything that's good
I'ma do you right, show you right, Get this understood
Cross my heart, hope to die, on everything that's good
I'ma do you right, show you right, Get this understood
I wanna beeeee, the last number that you call late at night (oh)
First one that you dial when you open your eyes (when you open your eyes)
Wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one that ain't gon hurt you (oh)
I wanna be, yeah (I wanna be yours)
Wanna be, yeah
Be the man makin' your girls jealous (Jealous, yeah)
Be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas (Fellas)
Whatever you need, (uhh)
Girl, it's all on me
Your soldier, your friend, or your lover
Girl, I wanna be yours
Girl, I wanna be, yours
I wanna be, yours
Be yours
I wanna be
Be yours
I wanna be

Was surfing on gomusic.ru and stumbled upon these two songs, This Kiss and Breathe, both by Faith Hill. :] used to listen to her songs. I love 'em. I remember listening to this on the radio, if I am not wrong, it was pretty popular back then. Don't know if you guys love the songs but I think it is very sweet :P
*
Beautiful creature ain't it? I think the wolf, like this one, are elegant. :] but sadly, I don't think they are my fave animals.
I love it when the wolves howl and I can hear them while watching the starry night sky above me. Snow, winter....oh it is just a wonder! :D
So people, what are your fave animals? I would like to know :] Just leave a comment as your answer ^ ^
All the things that i've collected
Stones and Shells
Every word in every book
Upon my shelves
Only form a brief description of myself
But they don't define who i am
I don't think anything can, no
If i strip away the non-necessities
All the damage all the mess surrounding me
I don't crave what i have not
I don't need more than i've got
It's just me that i offer up
All i got is my body
And it's naked for you
All i got is this heart
That i'm willing to lose
I know in this life
I give it everything
All i got is this soul and
Its shedding its clothes
Do you see who i am now
Your standing this close
You know in these arms
You're feeling everything
I'm learning what to give
What to protect
To look into the mirror
Though i'm not perfect
It's still a work in progress
Hasn't finished yet
Wanna be transparent
See through
Not gonna hide me from you
All i got is my body
And it's naked for you
All i got is this heart
That i'm willing to lose
I know in this life
I give it everything
All i got is this soul and
Its shedding its clothes
Do you see who i am now
Your standing this close
You know in these arms
You're feeling everything
I'm completely undressed
But i couldn't care less
I'm standing here possessionless
It's the only true test
When the only thing left
Is a love thats possessionless
I don't crave what i have not
i don't need more than i've got
It's just me that i offer up
All i got is my body
And it's naked for you
All i got is this heart
That i'm willing to lose
I know in this life
I give it everything
All i got is this soul and
Its shedding its clothes
Do you see who i am now
Your standing this close
You know in these arms
You're feeling everything
This song is my fave at the moment :P Kerine introduced it to me. Really good music and video, love Delta Goodrem! I think her singing is soulful.
Today I helped dear woman with her project. I did some photoshopping but I can't say my skills are anywhere fabulous like my dear Michael. Well at least she is happy with what I did for her, hopefully her teacher and her class would be equally impressed as well. :\ I pray hard no one has knowledge on photoshop lol
I have an interest in eggs all of a sudden. I like to put cook them in cooked dishes that my maid prepared for me lol I don't think you would get it but I love eating eggs :] Well not all the time just....:P nevermind.
I learned a bit of cantonese today. Just counting from 1 to 10 and the other day, I learned how to say Good Morning and Cold Water.
Hahhaah still learning, just wait and see :P
This weekend passed to quickly for my pleasure. I feel like school is happening too soon....sigh. I have not done any work from school yet. So I should get started on it soon. I don't know if there will be a quiz tomorrow but let's just say I am too tired to even study right now.
I am going to shower now, feeling really oily and sticky. I will be back to blog again :P
I am starting to listen to Chris Daughtry's songs again :O and I love 'em!! Is he going to replace nickelback in my list?? Hmmm or just come out above him? That remains to be seen :P
The song I am digging now:
Head spinnin couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was goin' down Yeahh, Yeahh
Where I been, well its all a blurr
What I was lookin' for, I'm not sure
Too late and didn't see it coming Yeahh,
Yeahh
Then I crashed into you
and I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
like a runaway train
You will consume me
But, I can't walk away
Some how I couldn't stop myself
Just wanted to know how it felt
Too strong I couldn't hold on Yeahh, Yeahh
Now I'm just tryin to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened
Where were headed, there's just no knowin Yeahh, Yeahh
And then I crashed into you
and I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
like a runaway train
You will consume me
But, I can't walk away
From your face, your eyes
are burning into me
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need
ohh, just what I need
And then I crashed into you
and I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me
But then you breathed your breath in me
Then I crashed into you
like a runaway train
You will consume me
But, I can't walk away
Then I crashed into you (x5)
Like a runaway train
You will consume me
But I can't walk away
Today I waited for one hour for my dear kerine ho lol and well, the wait paid off cause I had fun today and I got to see her all dressed up. I looked at her and looked at myself...wish I dressed up even more. I was only in Jeans and shirt while she was in a dress. Damn it.
*lol I was making fun of Kerine being late by asking her if she has reached Las Vegas yet*
We had jap food but note to never go back there....it's really expensive and well not worth it. The one at Ichi Ban is much better.
After food, we went walking around shopping. We had two neo print fun :) and we tried this machine where the platform raises and there is a fan for you LOL it was so funny and we were like OH! ooooooo!!
It was so fun, and I got my neo print box to keep them in it :D I am pretty tired especially since we did a lot of walking. I got my mac book back yesterday and it's got a nice clean case on it and I am leaving the plastic on so I won't dirty it :P
I like it nice and white ^ ^
Now for some PICTURES :)
Pretty girl in the picture :) Any guy who bully her, I will knock your head on the wall. X)
Yes....it is the toilet....and we were that...random.
There we go Kerine Ho :O
two versions :) but u can see it on flickr....or wait is it there??? Hmmmm
I will do some editing to it Kerine dear and see where I take it. And you woman! Got me addicted to this song at the moment ----> That Girl by NLT
I encourage people to watch Juno, I think it's a damn nice movie with smart talking and unusual humor. I think its very heart warming as well and a real treat to the real world which we know our lives won't really be like Juno's.
Plus the song The Remedy by Jason Mraz is a must to at least attempt to listen. I find it very different but enjoyable to listen to while just surfing the net or lazing about at home :P
The audio version :)
The video ^ ^!
Lately, my mood swings have made me cried, feel upset, happy, sensitive, quiet, loud, I don't know where I will sing to next. So far, I am fine right, calm. So how knows what will happen next. I'm not afraid to say it but I wonder when will my monthly friend just come and get it's visit done and over with, then finally leave me alone in peace for the next month or two......my friend likes to come at any moment, rude eh?
Yes! I flew on an umbrella!! In my dream :)
It was really really weird and my whole family was in the dream. Apparently, they were getting ready to perform and I was fooling around flying on a umbrella! XD
Honestly, it had to be one of the best dream experience I ever had. I even thought in my dream to verse Harry Potter's Flying Broomstick friends :O
Seriously I woke up laughing. Better yet, woke up coming to 2pm!
Ahh anyway I did not get the job and I kinda knew I wouldn't have gotten it anyway. But I was proud of myself because although my dear Michael asked me to use his work as my own (thank you for trying sweetie, I know you had my interest at heart) I decided not to use it. I mean....so say if I got the job because of it, I won't feel happy because I did not get the job with my own hands.
So yeah, I'd say the bitterness faded and my triumph in honesty paid off :)
At 6, I went to meet V at Esplanade and we had Jap food :D It was so freakin funny because at the end, we were so full and we were down to three Agedashi Tofu and 2 lobster sushi roll. We were so full and were in a desperate attempt not to waste it. LOL I had so much fun :D
Then we went to watch V's cousin and the band play in the library. I was honestly REALLY IMPRESSED with the performance. V's cousin can sing! She really can! Not just her, but the whole band can! :O
Another thing that they impressed me with is that they sung old songs or songs with messages, be it old or contemporary. But they mixed it so well that I just had to clap my hands, sing a long and go WHOOOOOOOOT at the end of their performance.
Two Thumbs UP and I am sure God had a wonderful time watching the performance :)
SOUL2SOUL, that is their Band Name.
