WHEN: Dysopian Future Pocket Universe AU continuity, a few weeks after that log.
SUMMARY: Zuko finally gets a freaking clue.
The sun was setting when Katara found herself in front of Zuko's apartment building. In one hand she carried a shopping bag full of DVDs from Blockbuster, in the other a bag filled with an assortment of dishes from Zuko's favorite Indian restaurant. When women broke up with their boyfriends, they required ice cream and Dirty Dancing.
When Zuko broke up with someone, mindlessly violent movies and spicy food usually did the trick.
It's sad that I know that, Katara thought, ringing his doorbell. That this became routine. That her hopes were, once again, foolishly high. Days and weeks and months passed, and though everyone moved on around her, Katara stayed stubbornly where she was, where she always ended up: on Zuko's doorstep.
