Jake and Rose, the only Dante Basco / Mae Whitmen characters to get together. Zutara is not going to happen. I hope not because a lot of hearts would be broken.

Meh, I'm fine with Jake/Rose. My other favorite couplings (Kim/Ron, Chip/Gadget) don't have a "fusion" either.

I like Jake and Rose together mainly because it was such an unusual thing for a generation of children's shows that seem to bend towards to best friends = best relationships idea (nothing wrong with that, but gets a little boring after a while). Rose's characterization was also very good, its unusual to seem a "popular" girl portrayed as sweet and nice, not snobby and untouchable.
I was worried for a little bit that it could be ended and passed off as a tweenage middle school crushm but Jake's line in Half Baked "I thought I'd be over her by now but I'm not.....I just need to know she's OK", dispelled any fears about that, he clearly loves her and not just for her looks. His utterly selfless behavior there and in Homecoming was very nice to see, especially from a character who tends to be a little bit shallow and self centered at times.
What really surprised me on message boards and things, is how united the shows fans are around them. Except for a few Jake/Trixie shippers I ran into on ff.net, almost EVERYONE seems to be a Jake/Rose shipper to some extent. I'm REALLY not used to that, I'm used to shipping wars.
Some people I have heard use a Zuko/Katara comparison to avatar for their relationship, but their dynamic reminds me a lot more of Sokka/Suki. Its the whole flirting while fighting thing.

I don't remember Rose ever actually being meant as a "popular" girl; she was just really pretty to Jake, if I remember correctly. But, I could be wrong. ;;
