About your challenges guys...they must be postponed for a little while. Do you know why?

Because today is a special day...:D

Happy Mother's Day!

Today, I dedicate my drabbles to mothers, and grandmothers, and soon to be mothers. And to all those who have lost a mother. What could possibly be a better Mother's Day drabble than a Zutara drabble? Nothing, that's what. :D

So today, I give you pure fluff, in honor of this special day.
Now read and review, and give your Mommy a big hug.

The stars from the heavens twinkled down as they smiled down on the earth.

Two bodies laid under the night sky, with sleepy eyes, and a heavy hearts.

Like a warm blanket, silence wrapped around them, and entangled their souls in peace.

"My mother once said, no matter what, the stars will always connect everyone. Every individual has their place in the sky, and someone is destined to be with them."

Her voice was a small whisper as she said these words to him, her lips brushing against his ear as Katara spoke. On their backs in the soft grass, it was only them. For the others were all asleep, lost in their dreams. But these two laid restless; a boy of fire and a girl of water.

Her hand pointed up to the sky, her dark hand nearly invisible as the dark universe spun high above them. With another whisper she stared into the sky, her hand a small pointer as she told him the names of many constellations, and images, that she had been told from the past.

"See that? That is Agni in his mortal form, when the Spirits once walked on the earth..."

Zuko's eyes had glanced up at the sky, but his eyes fell back down on her pretty face. His golden pairs were locked on her pair blue, his face the picture of peace. She glanced over at him and smiled, and he could not help but smile back. With a whisper, it was his turn to talk now.

"You know, my mother once said, that our hearts say the truth of our life. It never lies, and it always says the right things. We just have to learn to listen and feel our hearts."

Katara studied his face, her hand reaching up to touch her necklace. He watched her and slowly diverted his eyes back to the sky. With both their hands resting at their side, Zuko finally decided to listen to his own heart. Slowly, so very slowly, he placed his hand over hers and held it. She glanced at him but he did not tear his eyes from the brilliant sky. Sliding his hand that held hers to his chest, he rested her hand on top of his heart. With his hand on top of her small and dark hand, he whispered once again to her.

"So, everyone has a place in the sky?"

A nod was his answer, along with a blush. Quietly, he turned his gaze back to her face.

"Do you know what my heart is saying?"

Katara scooted closer, her hand still on his chest as his rested on top. Her blue eyes locked on his and with the slightest whisper, she answered him. "What is it saying?" Zuko blinked and ran his thumb once over her hand.

"It's saying...that...I love you..."

Katara looked up once more, a smile planted on her lips. Pointing in the sky, she answered him.

"Do you know what those stars are?"

Zuko shook his head, still holding her hand. As the stars seemed to shine even brighter, they looked down upon them. A feeling had captured his heart and he liked it. As her eyes glistened in the sky, he could not tear his gaze away from the frame of her face. When she answered, he was positive of one thing...

"You and me."

The words that their mothers had told them, were the truth.

And they were more than right.
