1As much as I want to use that song, All For One doesn't really fit since Summer already ended. -shrug-

Anyway, I do not own the song Breaking Free. It belongs to High School Musical/Disney/whatever.

Chapter 24: The Party part 1

The plaza at the Fire Nation royal palace was decorated with red, gold, and orange colored streamers and paper lanterns in honor of the Avatar and the Fire Lord. Citizens from all nations were talking, laughing, and getting to know each other.

Presents were piled up in on corner. A stage was placed in the center of the back of the hall the party was being held. Tables were along the sides leaving room for dancing.

"Wow, Katara, you and Ursa went all-out." Aang said, imnpressed.

Katara smiled gratefully and proudly. "Thanks! You know, this is the first birthday I celebrated in years."

"Well, don't feel bad. This is the first birthday I celebrated in over a century!:" Aang exclaimed. They both laughed.

Sokka and Suki ran up to them.

"She's here." Suki answered. "She doesn't want Zuko to know until they sing together."

"Wow, I never knew Mai was a romantic." Katara giggled.

"Same here!" Suki replied, laughing. "Anyway, Happy Birthday, Aang."

"Thanks, Suki." Aang smiled. "All right, let's have a good time!"

A few minutes later, all of the guests arrived. Ursa smiled and walked up on the stge. The Fire Nation invented a transmitter, which was useful for big crowds. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the singing portion of this birthday party." Everyone cheered. Ursa waited for them to calm down. "First up is Avatar Aang ad Katara of the Southern water Tribe!"

Katara and Aang got up on stage. Katara smiled and Aang and turned to the crowd.

"Before we sing, there's something I wanna say first." She said loudly. "Ever since my mother died I filled the void of not having a mother by acting like one myself. I acted like one for Aang's sake...but then...I began falling in love with him." She blushed. "Then another thing happened. My father fell in love again also. He fell in love with one of the kindest woman I've met since my mom passed. It was unexpected since Ursa is Fire Nation, but, really, what does that matter? As long as the person you fall in love with is caring and kind and treats you like a prince or a princess...it shouldn't matter what nation you're from. So in addition to dedicating this song to me and Aang, I also want to dedicate this song to Ursa and my father, Hakoda."

Katara and Aang smiled at each other as the introduction began playing.

Aang:

We're soarin', flyin'

There's not a star in heaven

That we can't reach

Katara:

If we're trying

So we're breaking free

Aang:

You know the world can see us

In a way that's different than who we are

Katara:

Creating space between us

'Til we're separate hearts

Both:

But your faith it gives me strength

Strength to believe

Aang:

We're breakin' free

Katara:

We're soarin'

Aang:

Flyin'

Aang:

Katara:

Ohhhh

Aang:

Can you feel it building

Like a wave the ocean just can't control

Katara:

Connected by a feeling

Ohhh, in our very souls

Aang:

Very souls

Both:

Rising 'til it lifts us up

So everyone can see

Aang:

We're breakin' free

Katara:

We're soarin'

Aang:

Flyin'

There's not a star in heaven

That we can't reach

Katara:

Aang:

To get to that place

Both:

To be all that we can be

Aang:

Now's the time

Both:

So we're breaking free

Aang:

We're breaking free

Katara:

Ohhh , yeah

Aang:

More than hope

More than faith

Katara:

This is true

This is fate

And together

Both:

We see it comin'

Aang:

More than you

More than me

Katara:

Not a want, but a need

Both:

Both of us breakin' free

Katara:

Soarin'

Aang:

Katara:

Aang:

Ohhh, we're breaking free

Katara:

Ohhhh

Both:

You know the world can see us

In a way that's different than who we are

Everyone cheered for Aang and Katara. The two took hands and bowed. Katara turned to Aang and kissed him on the cheek. Aang blushed shyly.

"I'm still getting used to that." Aang chuckled.

The two headed off the stage. Zuko and Ursa ere waiting for them.

"You sounded so good out there." Ursa complimented.

"Yeah, nice job, you two." Zuko added.

"Thanks." Katara said. "Good luck, Zuko."

"You too." Zuko replied, slightly confused. Aang ran to Toph.

"Hey, is she here yet?" He asked.

Toph nodded. "Let the mushyness begin!"

Aang chuckled and stood at the side of the stage as Ursa announced Zuko's turn.

You didn't expect me to use all three songs in one chapter, did you:P Anyway, the last two songs will be in the next chapter, then at least one more after that.
