A/N: My very first songfic! :D This song is a total Katara-Zuko in my opinion. Best song relating to them that I've listened to. Go listen to it, readers! PANIC! At The Disco- When The Day Met The Night. This fic is an AU, and will be relating to my story; Things Don't Always Go As Planned. And not to worry, reading this won't give away anything. :3 I hate spoilers too.

Disclaimer: I do not own the song, "When The Day Met The Night", nor do I own Avatar: The Last Airbender. Writing is just something I do for fun, for a chance to improve and for feedback from everyone who reads this fic. Please enjoy!


Summer

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

She doesn't remember feeling this way, with anyone. This feeling was new to her. And she didn't expect to feel this way towards him, of all people, either. She could do nothing to stop herself from feeling this way. As she walked out into the grounds, she covered her eyes with the fan in her right hand. The sun was the brightest she'd seen it in a while, almost as if it were her feelings being painted in the sky. Or maybe it was just how she saw everything now, brighter, and much more delicate. A beautiful picture, like the picture she got when she was looking at him.

When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer

It was a lazy summer day; she didn't feel like doing much. It was too hot for her to move. But she wanted to go outside. Her servant said there was a nice breeze, much cooler than the inside of the palace. While her father and brother attended meetings, she took a walk. Akemi and the other servants had set up a chair and matching table under the huge honey locust tree. As she got outside, she shut her eyes and breathed in the fresh air. This was far better than sitting inside. The tree stood tall, shadowing the chair and table with its leaves. Oddly, it always reminded her of a green umbrella, but she knew it had something to do with its shape, the way the smaller branches curved inwards. The leaves and branches were also sculptured to perfection. She seated herself, not messing up her dress in the process and reached for her cup of tea. She placed it down after taking a sip and reached for the book that was beside the china. She noticed that someone stood in front of her, two chapters into the book. She looked up from the last words on the page, to see who had disturbed her peaceful time.

When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his life
In the middle of summer (summer)

He had been looking everywhere for her, he had no clue where she'd be, the castle was too big to explore in one day, so he finally decided to ask Akemi where she'd gone. After being pointed to the direction of the garden, where that lone tree stood, he went to her. She was reading a book, when he finally spotted her, hurrying his pace. She looked up, an annoyed expression on her face. He was intruding after all, but then her expression softened as she looked him over, and placed her book on the table beside her. He sunk down onto the blanket that was placed underneath the seating and exhaled. He then turned his head up and looked, looked into her eyes, searching for something that hid deeply inside of her, though what, he didn't know. All they did was stare at one another, and even though it was silent, the silence was peaceful and he knew they both felt content.

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer (summer)
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
All was golden when the day met the night

He met her here, every day. Though, he didn't disturb her like the first day, he allowed her to do whatever she wanted, while he did whatever he wanted, just there for her company. They never spoke, like the first day, not that any speech was needed. And things were more peaceful between them then they had been in days. He knew she wanted to question him, but she held her tongue, waiting for him to start, he greatly appreciated her patience, knowing that if he was in her shoes, he'd probably do the opposite.

So he said, "Would it be all right
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time
I give you this smile?"

He said a few words to her, letting her know that he just wanted to hang around, get to know her, and forget about everything else. They sat there every day the sun was shining, just talking. Slowly, he started to open up, and she did the same in return. She didn't ramble on and question him, like he'd expected her too, she allowed him to do the talking, and she sat there patiently, listening to every word he had to say, even if he didn't go into detail with some things.

So she said, "That's okay
As long as you can make a promise
Not to break my little heart
Or leave me all alone in the summer."

She was willing to sit and talk with him, meet him half way. She had to admit, she was quite curious, about his country, his kingdom, his family, and his scar. She always thought that the scar added to his attractiveness, not take it any of it away. She could never even imagine him without it. She didn't know whether that was because she'd never seen him before the scar, or because she wouldn't want to change a thing about him.

Well he was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out
Just hanging around
Then he fell in love

As they laughed together, talked together, even when there was an air of silence between them, they grew closer, much closer than they both expected. He realised that he loved her, everything about her, whether it was her protective and caring, yet stubborn personality, or the bright blue eyes that sparkled when she smiled, grew wet when she cried, the contrast of his light skin compared to her darker olive tone, the chocolate brown tresses that swirled around her when she left her hair out, or shaped her face when she put it up, anything that made up the way she looked. He remembered when she cried for him, not realising that she had started to care so much, laughed with him instead of laughing at him like she used to. He'd already known at the beginning that there was a possibility that she would never love him back. He didn't think he could forget about her if he was to return to his kingdom, alone. No matter how much he might have wanted to if that time came when she didn't feel the same way towards him as he'd felt with her. All he'd done was spend some time with her. It was like a slap in his face, the fact that he'd never even noticed that he'd been falling.

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

He didn't want to go back without her. He'd try to win her heart every chance he got, never giving up on her. He knew he'd love her from the moment they met; he was attracted to her looks and her personality. Even if she did horrible things to him, thing's he'd never forget, though they made him laugh. And yet, when she knew he was hurting on the inside, she was there for him; she stopped giving him a hard time, but still teased him, time and time again. And he liked that about her.

Summer, summer, summer, summer
In the middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
In the middle of...

He was her sun, and she was his moon. He was her light in the dark whilst she was his cool in the heat. Ying and Yang, the opposites that balanced each other. This had been their best summer. A time to be memorized and never forgotten, even if one wished.
