I loved writing this chapter! Hope you like it as much as me!


Katara walked along the road not knowing where she was going. Her mind was filled with thoughts. I want to see him, Zuk-… what are you saying Katara? She continued to stroll down the brick road. She turned a corner and found a fountain. The only light was the moon. Katara sat on the edge of the fountain. She sat and thought about her life.

Zuko strolled through the path. He soon reached the fountains where he had kissed Jin. He shivered not because of the cool of the night but of the thought of Jin. He sat down not knowing that the waterbender was just on the other side. Zuko let out a quiet sigh.

In a house near by, music started, music for waltzing. Inside, an old couple danced.

Katara created dancing water figures on the side of the fountain beside her.

Zuko noticed the splashing noises. He quietly walked over to see who made the sound. He noticed it was Katara.

The moon-lit water figures swayed gracefully.

"Would you care to dance?"

Katara looked up in to the golden eyes of the fire prince. She nodded and arose. The prince took the water tribe peasant into his arms and swayed her gracefully like the water figures.

The music carried the dance partners. Once the music stopped, Zuko gave a bow and Katara swooped a curtsy.

She lifted her head to see a smile upon the tea server's face.

"Thank you." He whispered into her ear. With that, he began to walk away.

"See you tomorrow night, here." Zuko said as he walked around the corner. Katara nodded in agreement.

She stood by the fountain dazed.


Next morning……………..

"Where'd you go last night?" Sokka asked curiously.

"I just took a little walk." Katara answered with a smile.

Sokka noticed she was freakishly happy, but then decided to ignore her.

Katara looked around. Toph was throwing a rock against the wall. Sokka was teasing Momo, but Aang was no where in sight.

The wind beat upon the airbender's face. He looked out upon the world from the roof. Aang let out a sigh. He gazed into the horizon.

The young airbender extended an apple to a baby bison. It gladly accepted the gift and gave a huge warm lick on the airbender's cheek.

"I guess this means we'll always be together." He said with a giggle.

"Always." Aang said with a tear.

Katara put her hand on his shoulder. He looked into her eyes and saw compassion. Aang tried to smile, but he couldn't. It was painful.


That night………….

"I'm going to take a walk." Katara yelled as she slipped out the door.

She made her way to the fountain. When she got there, Zuko was waiting for her. He smiled at her. They sat down and talked about life.

"I have a place where I want to take you tomorrow night." He said excitedly.

"I love to go." Katara answered with a smile.

The night flew by and soon it was time for the two to part. They wished each other good night and promised to meet at the teashop at seven o' clock.


Next night at 6:55………..

"I'm going to go the market place." Katara lied and walked out the door.

At the teashop, no one was there and it was two seconds 'til closing. Zuko greeted Katara and invited to a seat while he helped close the shop.

"Uncle, I'm leaving." Zuko yelled as he and Katara walked through the door.

"Have fun." Iroh yelled back. He chuckled.

Zuko grabbed Katara's arm and pulled her along. She could tell he was excited. Katara tried to keep up with his fast pace. They climbed a hill and soon rest by a large oak tree.

Katara dazzled at the beautiful scenery. She could see all of Ba Sing Se. The lights shone from the house below.

"It's beautiful." Katara said in awe.

"Yes." Zuko agreed.

Zuko sat and rested against the oak tree. Katara lay next to him. They both stared at the stars. Soon Katara's eyelids closed and she began to slumber. Zuko looked down at the sleeping water tribe peasant. She was now asleep on his stomach. The prince also soon drifted into a slumber and together they slept.

The next morning Sokka noticed that Katara wasn't in her bed. He got on his coat and was about the go out the door when Aang stopped him.

"She probably got some tea." Aang said.

Sokka hesitated to hang his coat but he soon did.


At the Oak Tree………………..

The prince awoke to a bird chirping away. He looked around and noticed he was still with Katara. He looked down. There she lay, asleep. At first he was calm, but then Zuko realized they had been there all night.

Katara awoke. She sat up and stared at the fire prince.

"Good morning." He said.

"Mornin- did you just say morning?" She asked nervously. Zuko nodded.

"I got to go." She said. Katara got up and gave Zuko a quick kiss on the cheek than left.

Zuko stared at the sun. He stood up and made his way to his apartment.


Okay….this was longer than I thought it would be…o-well! R&R!
