It was Katara's 18'th birthday party. She had convinced Yue to come along, even though she was nervous around large groups of people. Katara had not understood the severity of Yue's warning that she may get scared, and still convinced Yue to go. Yue had known inside that it would not end well, but because she loved Katara ( without Katara knowing it) she would go, for Katara.
They arrived in front of the ballhouse, and Katara gave Yue an encouraging look. Yue smiled back tentatively, but looked back at the huge doors that stood in front of them, and secretly trembled.
With a deep breath, Yue entered side by side with Katara. They stood on a huge balcony that stood over the whole ball room. Everyone was silent, as they gazed in wonder at the beauty that Katara shined and lent to everyone around her, especially Yue, standing so close to her. Katara blushed when she realized everyone was staring at her, and silent, but Yue felt like she was in a nightmare. Thier faces blurred and melded. She stood stiffly, terrified. Aang walked over and asked Katara to dance. She grinned and accepted, and they descended the stairs in moments.
Yue walked slowly down, stiff as a board. When she reached the bottom, with everyone moving around and laughing and yelling, panic seized her. The faces all looked the same... She sat down suddenly on the ground, and put her head on her knees, currently covered with a huge green gown.
"Katara!" She cried desperately. Katara had been dancing with Aang, laughing fondly at his childish jokes, when she heard Yue's call. She turned with a gasp, and saw Yue curled on the ground in a huge group of people. Yue, face stained with tears, looked up on Katara as her last hope.
The last thing she expected to come out of Katara's mouth was,"Let's dance!" Katara grabbed Yue up tenderly, and pulled her close. She led them around in a slow dance. Yue looked up at Katara in a kind of wonder, as if she was some goddess who had just leapt from a cloud to Yue's rescue.
Everybody was shocked, Aang especially. Actually, Aang was pissed. He had wanted to be Katara's knight, her prince, but now, it seemed, Katara was someone elses' knight!
