Twilight.
The sun was disappearing and the moon was beginning its reign in the sky. On the balcony, a man and woman stood saying their farewells to each other.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" the young lady spoke, gazing at the beauty of the sky. "There are only two times in a day when the sun and the moon really meet. Twilight and dawn. Other than that, they're not meant to be with one another."
"Katara---"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mean it that way." She turned to him and smiled, "Tonight's suppose to be a celebration."
The young man looked at her somberly, "You're not going to change your mind."
"No," she confirmed. "I can't. My place is elsewhere. You belong here...Your Royal Highness," she reminded him quietly.
He pulled her close to him, "Why?"
"I'm not meant to be royality, and I have no wish to be," she told him honestly, resting her head on his shoulder resisting the urge to cry.
"Then I'll go with you," Zuko told her.
"You can't do that. Who would take over after your uncle?"
"Azula."
"You know she can't," she gazed into his eyes. Azula had not been herself since the death of Ozai. "Your country needs you. You can't abandon them."
The Fire Prince knew she was right. In all his life, Zuko had never resented being part of the royal family. He had always been proud of it and reveled in it. He knew he was to be Fire Lord someday, and he accepted his destiny without protest. As he stood there holding his love, though, he couldn't resent his bloodline more.
"I'll tell you one thing though," Katara continued. "The moon can't shine without the sun's rays."
"And during the day, even though it can't be seen, the moon is always watching over the sun."
"Right," Katara smiled.
The leaned toward each other and shared one last kiss.
