Hiya! Alright, I'm going to ignore the fact that hardly anybody has read my story and I'm gonna keep going. I changed the summary around, so I hope it sounds better. Also, if you have any suggestions on what I can do to improve the plot, please, please, please let me know. I also realize that Zuko and Katara are warming up to each other very quickly, but please realize that right now they only have crushes on each other. Zuko enjoys toying with Katara quite a bit, but it's not going to get so mean that she'll hate him for it... does that even make ne sense? I don't know. I'm not making any sense. Also, the town where the party is held I kinda envisioned to look like the Elven city in Lord Of The Rings. You know, the one where Arwin lives, before she leaves with the rest of her Kin? Just a visiual.

Zuko: Then maybe you should stop acting like an idiot and just start the story.

Kianna: Zuko, come on, be serious. How can she stop acting like an idiot when she is one?

BF: Hey! Kianna, you should be on my side!

Kianna: Srry, couldn't help it!

Zuko: Why are girls do freakin weird!

Sokka: Welcome to my world

Everybody: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN HERE!

Sokka: Geez! Just wanted to make a point.

Zuko: Can we please just get on with the story already?

Kianna: Wow, Zuko. It almost sounds like you're anxious to get back to flirting with Katara...

Zuko: Kianna! Shut it!

Kianna: Don't you tell me to shut it you little brat!

BF: Okay, um, this is gonna get pretty violent, so on with the ficcy! AH! KIANNA! DON'T KILL HIM! HE'S TOO HOT TO DIE!

Kianna: Fine! Then make him do the disclaimer.

Zuko: I was gonna do it ne way!

BF: Well, we're waiting!

Zuko: Alright! blueflame17528 does not own Avatar, or the song that Katara sings in this chapter. Avatar is owned by Nickelodeon. If BF owned it, the show probably wouldn't be allowed on Nickelodeon ne more, with the swearing and the violence and the-

BF: ZUKO!

Zuko: Ne way, the song is owned by whoever made the theme song to the Fruits Basket Anime series.

Fun!

Katara turned to the side, looking at the back of her dress in the mirror. "I was so happy when you smiled, your smile breaks through the clouds of grey..."

Zuko walked into the room dressed in his usual black and gold training outfit. He stopped abruptly at the sight of Katara, and the sound of her voice. It was beautiful... what was she singing?

"Far from the sunny days that lie in sleep. Waiting with patience for the Spring, when the flowers will bloom renewed again; knowing there's far beyond the pain, of today." She looked up and saw Zuko staring at her, and began to blush. "Um, hi, Zuko..." Zuko started, seeming to snap out of a trance.

"Hey... uh, are you, uh... are you ready to go?" He was staring at her with a strange look in his eyes, and it was making Katara uncomfortable. She nodded, still blushing. She never really liked singing in front of people, and the fact that Zuko had heard her was a bit disconcerting.

Zuko offered his arm and Katara complied, allowing him to lead her off of the boat and onto the harbor deck, where their escorting party was waiting for them. The walk would be a rather long one, and nobody was really looking forward to it. They were on their way to what was called the Phoenix Ball. Kianna was hosting it, and it was far from being a Fire Nation event. This event was for people from all nations, and it called for a sense of peace among them. No fighting was allowed, and any Fire Nation soldiers who started something would not only be kicked out, but they would also be fined. This rule applied to everyone, considering the fact that some people liked to start fights with the soldiers.

Katara looked all around them, taking in the sheer beauty of the island. Hundreds of different flowers and plants bloomed all around them, and several brooks and streams were spread all across.

The guards had been told to keep a good distance from the couple. So much so, in fact, that they were basically on different trails. Their formation still protected the prince and princess should anyone dangerous come along, but it also gave them room to talk privately.

Zuko had walked this route several times before, as the island was a popular place to hold big parties. He decided a bit of conversation would greatly help pass the time, knowing it would take over an hour to get to their destination.

"Earlier, in the boat. What was that song you were singing?" He glanced over at his fiance and noted her blush.

"Oh, um... I don't really know the name. My mom used to sing it to me." She looked away, trying to gather herself.

"Really? Wow..." Zuko seemed to space out for a few moments, and Katara quirked an eyebrow.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, it's just... My mother, she... she used to sing it to me and Kianna and Zula all the time. When she died, Kianna would sing it and other songs mom had taught her. I guess it wouldn't be surprising if Kianna had been the one who knew it first, considering the fact that she was always traveling, but, how would my mother, who's never been out of Fire Nation, know the same song that your mother did?" Katara blinked, thinking. He was right; it was surprising.

"I don't know..." She looked up at him, a small smile on her face. Right now he looked far from being the cold hearted prince that she had feared. He had a kind, gentle look on his face. Not only that, but he seemed to be acting more like a teenager. Like he was more relaxed and at ease. Katara knew it made her feel something, but she wasn't quite sure what it was.

"Katara? I-" Zuko stopped talking when he noticed that Katara had stopped walking. She was looking off to the side, her eyes glimmering with fascination. Zuko turned around, hearing the familiar roar of water falling on water. They were at what had been named La Lagoon. (Heh heh, the way I use La, it makes it sound Spanish or somethin) The translation would be Moon Lagoon, as La was the name of the moon spirit. Or at least, it had been.

Cliffs seemed to reach to the moon, overgrown with plants and flowers. A beautiful waterfall cut through and fell down through it, landing in the silvery blue water of the lake below. So many beautiful flowers were in bloom along the bank, twinkling with drops of water in the moonlight, that Katara couldn't help but get rooted to the spot. It was absolutely gorgeous. The full moon cast a milky reflection in the sapphire waters, seeming to dance along the ripples on the surface. Several smaller waterfalls at different heights in the cliff cascaded down the rocks and into the beautiful azure pool. Zuko smiled at the look on Katara's face, wrapping a gentle arm around her shoulders, resisting the urge to kiss the top of her head. He had known that she would love the view.

Katara managed to pull her eyes away from the waterfall long enough to glance up at the prince. She had known what he was going to ask her before. Right now, she didn't feel so bad about doing it.

I was so happy when you smiled, your smile breaks through the clouds of grey

Far from the sunny days that lie, in sleep

Waiting with patience for the Spring,

When the flowers will bloom renewed again,

Knowing there's far beyond the pain, of today

Although the scars of yesterday, remain

You can go on living as much as your heart, believes

You can't be born again, Although you can change.

Let's stay together always.

Zuko looked down at Katara, a true smile on his face. She truly did have a beautiful voice. "We should get moving, before the soldiers catch up with us. We can come back later." Katara nodded and allowed him to guide them back on the path.

"Know way!"

"Yes, way!"

"Zuko, there is absolutely no way you can talk to fish!" Katara had a bright smile on her face, enjoying her conversation with Zuko.

"If crazy people can talk to birds, why can't I talk to fish?" Zuko had a mock look of defiance on his face, yet he was grinning, laughter in his eyes. It really was fun to talk with Katara like this.

"First of all, what do crazy people have to do with birds?" Katara crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. Zuko had kept one arm around her shoulder, instead of hooking arms with her, allowing the water bender to move them a bit more freely.

"Because they're Cuckoo." Katara cracked up, wiping a tear from her eye. Yup, Zuko was finally acting like a teenager instead of an adult.

"Zuko..." They both laughed.

"No, seriously. I remember this one story Kianna told Zula and me once. She said that a group of girls who all had a huge crush on the same guy would start to resemble the Cuckoo bird. For instance. In leaving presents for them, they would first throw away the present left by the girl before them so their present would get more attention, as a cuckoo pushes another bird's egg from the nest. They're Cuckoo Chicks." (Yes, I got this from Furuba as well)

"Zuko! That sounded a lot like a sexist remark!" Katara, however, was still giggling. It had been pretty funny.

"Kianna told it, and she's even more against the sexist stuff than you are. But it was just so funny! The story went like this:

The door to the cute guy's locker was opened, and everybody just stared. There was only one present sitting inside.

"What the hell?" The blonde girl gaped, shaking her head

"I thought for sure we'd get to see it..." The girl with the black-green hair murmured.

"Um, see what, exactly?"

"You know, it's always in the cartoons. You open a locker, and all the stuff comes pouring out."

"And so it'd happen here, why?"

The first girl ignored him, turning to her friend, who spoke. (please refer to Zuko's explanation of the cuckoo chick, as I am too lazy to repeat that whole thing.) "The evidence is over there, in the trash can."

Everybody looked and found that the girl had been right. The trash was over flowing with presents.

"Dammit! They messed up my locker trick!"

Katara and Zuko laughed, both looking forward and stopping. "IS THIS IT!" Katara clasped her hand over her mouth, blushing. She had been shocked. It was so AMAZING. Zuko laughed and nodded. (note: Like I said, the town looks like the one Arwin, from Lord Of The Rings, lives in. If you haven't watched it, try looking it up. It's the elf city.)

Katara was looking around with gleaming eyes at the bustling city. The lamps were lit by some kind of mysterious magic, glowing a bright, warm yellow. Many couples were making their way towards what looked like a giant dias, in the center of the city. Katara gulped, a bit nervous by the over all... overwhelmingness of it all. ( I can say it and give a definition, so it's a word. :p)

The dance floor (dias) was huge. Katara couldn't even see the other side of it when they stepped on. And not just because it was loaded with people, either.

The colors and styles of the clothes, along with the many different appearances of the people, really gave away that this was a cultural kind of thing. Katara even noticed quite a few girls wearing the same colors that Aang used to wear. She couldn't help but wonder if they were air nomads... but it wouldn't make sense. Aang was the last one...

"Zuko! Katara!" Kianna came running into view, waving and smiling at the newcomers.

"Hi Kianna!" They both greeted her, talking animatedly.

"Hey, come on, the ball dances are starting!" Kianna excepted a boy's offer to dance, waving her brother and his fiance to join. Zuko looked at Katara, a silent question. She smiled an nodded, grasping his hand and walking out onto the dance floor. The music was vivid and upbeat (Klezmania, by Jacoob De Hann) and Katara couldn't help laughing as they danced around, spinning and having a truly great time. The party, however, was suddenly called short.

"Flood!" Everybody turned to the sound of the voice, screams and confusion echoing in the wake. A giant wave was heading straight towards the city, and, from the look of it, there was nothing to stop it from flooding the entire place.

Okay, I guess that was a pretty bad place to stop, but I can't help it!
