Movie Scene: Titanic



Katara stood in between Aang and Zuko. Stood in between the man she was at one point supposed to marry and the man she had fallen in love with in only a few short days. In between her past and her future. Her loved and her love. Aang had put his coat on her and was trying to keep her close to him. But all she wanted to do was be under Zuko's arm.


Zuko mustered all he had inside him and let go of the one thing he loved the most in the world, "Katara, go on, I'll get the next one." his heart broke as he said it. But he knew he had to do it, had to let her go so she would survive.


Katara couldn't believe what he was telling her. Why did he want them to be apart? "No, not without you." her voice was filled with tears and determination. She wasn't giving up the only good thing in her life.


Zuko knew she was being stubborn, he both admired her for it and wanted to shake her. Did she not understand that in order for him to go on, she had to live? "I'll be alright. Listen,  I'll be fine. I'm a survivor alright. Don't worry about me. Go on, get on."


Aang stepped in and grabbed Katara's arm, "Katara, there's a boat on the other side that's letting men on. Zuko and I can catch that one." he was a smooth talking son of a bitch who knew what he was doing. Zuko only hoped that Katara fell for it.


He didn't give Katara a chance to believe it or not, "See?" he said, "I got my own boat to catch." he put truth in his voice and took her arm out of Aang's hand and helped her onto the life boat.


She didn't want to go, he knew it, but she had to. She just had to go. Crew members began lowering the life boat, he watched her descent down the with of the Titanic and was aware of the warm tears filling his eyes at the fact that he was not going to see her again.


He looked over at Aang, "There is no boat, is there?" his voice dripped with uncertainty.


Aang looked back, his grey eyes were ice, "No, there is, but you're not getting on." he looked down to Katara with victory. "I always win, Zuko, one way or another."


Zuko just kept looking at Katara with love and pain. This would be the last time he'd lay his eye on her ocean eyes, sun tanned skin and chocolate hair. Last time he would see his beloved. He blew a kiss good bye.


*************************************************************************************


Katara trained her eyes on Zuko only. What was she doing? She couldn't leave him alone on this ship. What if he died? Yes, there was a chance the two of them would still die, but at least they would die together. If he died and she were to live, there was no way in hell, she could still live on. No way her heart would go on. She thought back to the first day she saw him, back to the day she left Aang at the luncheon with her father and friends.


When she saw him on the third floor deck with his drawing book and knew instantly that he would change her life if she let him. And he did. The day she decided she was just going to end her life and jump off the end of the ship, he changed her life, by saving her.


She remembered the feel of his hand against hers as he pulled her over. The way her body fit perfectly with his as they landed on the deck. The fear eating her as they hand cuffed him. She couldn't do this without emotionally killing herself in the process. She had never told him her true feelings for him. He tried to once, but she told him that it wasn't up to him to save her and to just leave her alone.


She had to tell him, couldn't let the unknown go on forever. She knew what she had to do, and without thinking about it she jumped. She jumped right off the boat. She felt the wood leave her feet, felt the air blow around her. Pain shot through Katara's chest and stomach as she hit the edge of the opened window. Using all of her upper body strength, she hoisted herself of the edge and onto the ship. She rolled on the ground and shot up. She had to find Zuko.


*************************************************************************************


Zuko watched in horror as Katara jumped off the little boat and onto the ship. Without thinking, he ran away from Aang and pushed  past a throng of people. "Katara!"


"Zuko!" he heard from far away. He called again. His name came back to him as he saw her.


Zuko held Katara close, "You're so stupid, Katara, you know that?"


She just looked up at him, "You jump, I jump, right?"


He looked into her blue eyes and kissed her, never letting go.

Titanic is one of my favorite movies; Avatar is one of my favorite shows; I LOVE the combo!

I hadn't noticed :iconstargazer1214: 's comment before beginning my own, but here it is anyways:
The only thing I don't really like about this, is making Aang the bad guy. I love Aang to bits and pieces, though I never want him to end up with Katara. I understand for all intents and purposes that using Aang in Cal's place seems right, but what about using Jet instead? I have always seemed to have a certain dislike for that guy...though he is quite attractive as far as anime characters go (though Zuko is FAR more attractive!)! Haha! XD

So yeah, I LOVE this cross-over so much, you've done a great job! I love it when two of my favorite things are combined, because it makes it that much more enjoyable; all my excitement from the two gets mixed up and forewarns the explosion of my face becuase I smile and laugh too much!
