CORINATION DAY

I step outside on to the balcony then walked to the railing and looked up at the quiet beautiful sky. The moon is shining bright and the sky looks welcoming. Today was a very important day. Today I became the Fire Lord. Never in a million years would I have guessed I would be the Fire Lord.

I hear laughter coming from inside. Since Sokka insisted I have a Party. I jump when I here the Balcony door open.

"Lord Zuko" she says

I turn to see her. Her beautiful black hair thats falls gently down to her shoulders and her aqua blue eyes that shone in the moonlight. She was wearing a beautiful white gown that complimented her figure.

"You don't have to call me that" I smile and walk towards her and grab her hand and led her to the railing.

"Katara isn't it a beautiful night?" I sigh happily

she looks up at the sky "It's Mesmerizing!"

"Where's Aang?" I ask curiously

"Inside with Toph....... Such an odd couple don't you think?"

"Na there both alike ........ Free spirits. They make eachother happy"

The wind blows and I see Katara shiver I take off my coat and put it gently around her shoulders. She looks up and smiles I smile back then look away back to the sky.

"So Lord Zuko-- I mean Zuko" She sneaks a look up at me.

"You can have any girl you like now" She walks toward the end of the railing farthest from me.

I hesitate slightly than walk over to her. "Yeah I guess you could say that" I answer nervously.

"So who will it be...... Tai Lee looks nice"

I laugh then turn to lean my back against the railing "She does but she's not what I'm looking for"

"Oh well then maybe Mayle she seems sorta sweet"

"Yeah but she's not what I'm looking for either."

She follows by leaning back to.

"Well then exactly what are you looking for?" I see her debating whether she should have asked the question.

I put out my hand "Come let me show you something."

She puts her hand in mine and I lead her through the party to my bedroom. I open the door and walk in she follows cautiously behind.

"Wait here" I go to my bed stand and open my treasure box and pull out a golden chain neclace with a huge pearl in the middle. I turn back to walk over to Katara.

She sees what I'm holding then she gasp

"Oh my Zuko it's beautiful!"

I lift it up and she reaches and twirls the pearl around her fingers "Turn around" She hesitates than turns around

"Lift up your hair" She does what I ask then I put the neclace on her.

"Zuko I---"

I liff my hand up to shush her "My mother gave it to me when I was a kid told me to give it to the girl I wanted to spead the rest of my life with"

I see her eyes widen in surprise. Then she does the oddest thing. cry.

"Katara I didn't mean to upset you!"

"No it's not that it's just..... Why me!? you can have any girl you want!" She yells.

"I could but no one else is you....."

She looks up in my eyes "No one else is you either Zuko"

I grab her gently by the chin then kiss her soft lips

Then she whispers "I love you" I smile to myself

"I love you more"
