Avatar The Last Airbender Fan Fiction ❯ One Hundred Hopes ❯ Zutara-41-Royalty ( Chapter 3 )

#041—Royalty

 

Katara smacked Zuko soundly.

 

“No more,” she said. “You are no longer allowed to use the words `water peasant' in sequential order in a sentence. Or I am taking away talking privileges.”

 

He stared at her.

 

“I'm not even a `peasant,'” she continued, for good measure. “I'm the chief's daughter. I've got just as much rank as you, and stop giving me that smug smile. I'll peel it off.”

 

He continued to grin. Katara slapped him again and walked away.

 

The next day, while packing everything away on Appa, Zuko came up with a new name for Katara.

 

“Oh, princess,” he said with a laugh as she hoisted the tarp for the tent onto Appa's back. “Let me help you with that.”

 

It was going to be a long journey.
