A/N: ok so, I was watching Phantom of the Opera and I had wanted to do this fic for like EVER so I borrowed the DVD from my buddy Carl and watched it to make sure I had all the parts in it, I didn't want to be missing anything incase some crazed POTO fan got on here (cough Sara cough) and started flipping at me for missing stuff. Deep breath ok so now on with the story and I hope you enjoy. OH! I forgot to mention it isn't EXACTLY like the movie… the plot is slightly twisted for your Zutarian pleasure (sorry Kataangs, not today) ok STORY TIME!

Disclaimer: WTF?! I don't Avatar? When did this happen?! That's it! Grabs phone Yeah Graydon? YOU ARE FIRED! Slams phone

Zuko sat in the trees as the wind blew his hair; it was starting to get shaggy on him now. Beneath him was the beautiful water bender Katara, He came and watched her a lot, he had been following there little group for a while now, when his uncle asked why they were still following the Avatar he wouldn't give him an answer, what was he going to say? "Yeah I'm obsessed with the water bender and I want to look at her all the time?" Yeah didn't sound right, even though that was the truth…

He couldn't explain his feelings for her, he tried to dismiss them at first when he used her as bait for the Avatar but he felt himself drawn to her; her loyalty and her fiery temper made her irresistible to him. He wanted nothing more then to jump out of this tree right now and hold her, kiss her, tell her he loved her. But he couldn't, not yet anyways.

He had been following them without them having any clue what so ever; he had been listening in on their conversations as to get some more info about the beautiful girl.

He had been acting out his plan that he had formed in his mind, He would where his blue spirit mask and begin to talk to the girl from the trees. He didn't want her to know who he was so when she had asked who he was he simply told her a spirit. He figured she would believe him because she heard her and her brother talking about how when they were little their mother told them that when she died someday that a spirit would watch over them. This was perfect for him, it would make her put all her trust into him and when the time came right he would show myself.

Now he was sitting there above her holding the mask in his hands and listening to her hum, she had a beautiful voice that was almost mesmerizing. When she stopped and began bending her water he put on his mask and called her name.

She stopped and looked up with a smile on her face.

But Zuko couldn't say anything more because the blind earth bender came out to the water.

"Toph, what are you doing up?" Katara asked as she saw the girl walking towards her.

"I felt you weren't there so I wanted to check and see if you were alright." Toph said as she sat down on the ground beside the water bender.

Katara smiled. "Don't worry about me I'm fine. Someone is here to protect me anyways."

Toph held a confused expression. "What are you talking about… there isn't anyone here."

"Oh but there is." She smiled and turned to face Toph. "You remember that night when me and Sokka were talking about how our mother told us that when she was gone a spirit would protect us?"

Toph nodded slightly.

"Well, The spirit has spoken to me! It watches over me!" Katara sighed finally getting this off her chest.

"I don't mean to sound skeptical, but you're a loon-goose!" Toph told her.

Katara's smile faded. "I'm not making this up, I am truly being watched by a spirit, He comes to me every night and speaks to me."

Toph was starting to get concerned. "Come on Sweetness, You're talking in riddles, you need to get some sleep." Toph stood up and took Katara by the arm bringing her back to camp.
