Okay, so I had to finish this small song drabble. It was bugging me that I could not make it into a longer drabble. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! Please R&R!
The long anticipated Golden Dragon celebration finally came to the Fire Nation. Everyone had been so excited to plan the celebration that when it finally came, it seemed rather boring to those who had planned every last detail. Zuko and Iroh had planned out the events for the celebration and in what order they would occur. They saved the dance for last feeling that would be the best option. Sokka and Toph had planned out the food for the banquet. Aang and Katara planned the dance and helped decorate the ballroom in the fire palace. No one was expected to bring a date but everyone paired off anyways.
Suki and Sokka, Toph and Aang, and Mai had asked Zuko to be her date but the Fire Lord politely declined. He claimed he would be busy overlooking the celebration to participate in the celebration (try saying that five times). Although, Iroh and Mai suspected it had something to do with Zuko's hatred of dancing. So it came as a shock to a certain young waterbender when this question was asked...
"Would you like to dance?" Katara stared at Zuko like he had suddenly grown a second head. Feeling he had something to tell her, she agreed and quit staring at him. She noticed many nobles and their daughters giving her death stares, making her become a little nervous.
The music started to pick up and Katara thought it matched her, now, irregular heartbeats. She followed Zuko's lead as gracefully as she could. As the song start coming to an end the waterbender wanted to ask what was on the Fire Lord's mind. "Zuko, why..." she was interrupted by said firebender twirling her. She followed his lead and was surprised when the song ended, the Fire Lord still wanted to dance with her asking, "Just one more dance?" Once more, she agreed and was surprised it was one of the Fire Nation's slower songs. Zuko laughed softly as he noticed her blush.
"What? What did I miss?" asked Katara, wanting to know why he was laughing. Zuko only shook his head, causing Katara to turn an even deeper shade of red. To take her mind off of the unanswered question, she looked around the room. Noticing all of the glares, she sighed softly in frustration. Why were they looking at her like that? So what if she was dancing with the Fire Lord...
"It's just you and me. Ignore the nobles, they do not matter right now. They have nothing better to do than stare at us." Zuko paused looking at the waterbender in front of him, she had stolen his heart and had no idea that she had done so, "Although, who would not want to stare at you? You look stunning tonight". Before he could finish his rambling, said girl stood on her tip-toes and kissed him lightly. "Thanks Zuzu." whispered Katara, feeling better about dancing with him.
Okay, so that wasn't much longer than the original drabble but it is longer! Just by two or three paragraphs but it is enough for me! The next one will be 9th song drabble. I feel I should let you guys know how things play out between Zuko and Katara - that should be fun since I'm not quite sure how I want Katara to react. Another thing, I know, I know - I use way to many commas sometimes...okay all the time! But it's hard not to use them but I will try with the next drabble, promise! Anyways, please R&R!
