A/N- This was a song I was unsure I could do a drabble for; I just couldn't think of an idea that would go with the song. Finally, one came to me, though I'm not sure I entirely think it goes with the song. You'll just have to read and decide for yourself!

11:11 PM

The sun burned a bright crimson with tints of yellow and orange as it set in the horizon. The moon slowly rose with the climax of their battle. Water was turned to steam as it met fire in a harsh 'ssss' sound and formed a cloud around the two, obstructing their sight if only for a minute. The steam cleared and it was back to fighting again, the river's smooth surface disturbed as she drew waves from it. He followed up with a fire kick that missed her just barely and disappeared, meeting the river instead.

She noticed the sun setting, the moon rising and smirked. It was her time of day; night. She summoned water, forming it into a water whip and send it reeling at him, ready to smack him with its force. He summoned fire, but her power was steadily growing and the water drove past his fire and knocked him to the ground. He got up, only to be knocked down again by another water whip. He refused to lose, though, and rolled to the side, jumping up and sent a blazing punch her way. She quickly evaporated it with her water and ran a circle around him, making him place himself in front of the river and her water source. He was barely hanging on and it only took one moderately powerful wave to knock him to the ground and he couldn't get up, try as he might. He summoned a flame, but it flickered out and he almost fainted from the effort. She walked over to him, knowing it was over and stood over him.

"I win" she said, smirking. He sent a glare her way but did not have the strength to say anything.

"What was our deal this time?" She said sarcastically, looking as if she was pondering it, "Oh yeah, I remember. Since I won, you have to one; stop chasing and trying to capture Aang, and two; join us and teach Aang firebending." He glared at her again. They had made a bet concerning what happened to the Avatar. Zuko had said that he won she would hand over the Avatar, and wouldn't chase him back to the Fire Nation, thinking that he would win early. Thinking that it would be an easy battle; thinking that he would win before the sun set and before the moon came up, granting her greater waterbending power, making her have an advantage over him. Not thinking that she had improved since the North Pole. Not thinking about how short the time was before the sun set. He obviously had not been thinking much at all, and it was his downfall. Now he would have to join the Avatar and teach him firebending. What a joy. He snarled in his head. He might join them and teach the Avatar, but he wouldn't do it willingly.

All the windows

Swear to miss you

And the doors are cell block tight

Sweet sedation

Sweep the issues

And the clocks about to strike

She put her arm under his armpit and helped him up. He almost fell over again, but she put her arm under his one armpit, around his back and under the other armpit, holding him up. They walked slowly back to the camp, with him stumbling every few steps. They finally reached the camp, around which people were in their sleeping bags, asleep.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WITH HIM????" Sokka screamed. Apparently, they were faking sleep.

"Calm down Sokka, I found Aang a firebending teacher. He promised to join us and teach Aang and to stop chasing and trying to capture Aang. He gave me his word, on his honor that he would do this if I won the bet. Since I did win, he will do exactly that. And I will hurt him if he tries anything, I promise you that. Now go back to sleep already, I'll tend to him." She glared at Sokka, who sat stubbornly in the sleeping bag, refusing to go back to sleep.

"Fine. Stay awake all night for all I care." She whispered angrily, glaring at Sokka still. She turned and looked at Zuko. He had fainted sometime when she was arguing with Sokka. Katara sighed and laid him on her sleeping bag and looked at him, checking for any injuries. Apart from some minor cuts and bruises that she healed, and the scar over his left eye that he would always have, he was fine. She sighed again. She grabbed the extra sleeping bag from among their extra supplies, laid down in it and tried to go to sleep.

She lay preoccupied with her thoughts for a long time, staring up at the nearly full moon. Katara knew that they had some rough times ahead of them, especially now that Zuko was in their group. She moaned, not believing that the spoiled brat of a prince was with them now and would stay with them. What had she been thinking? She looked over at his sleeping figure, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face. She wasn't sure, but she had thought she had seen a sorrow-filled look on his face before after she had won, almost as if he wanted to join their group and was truthful when he said he would agree to teach Aang firebending and would do it peacefully. It had been replaced by a glare quickly enough and she doubted that what she had seen had really been there. Katara turned over and found a comfortable position. All her worries would have to wait for tomorrow.

Did it call you down

Are you back just yet

Waiting now please come set me free

And the only sound is a minute left

Tomorrow had come and gone. Days had gone by. Zuko was still as stubborn as ever. Today they had gotten in a fight over the war and were throwing insults at one another. It didn't last though, when suddenly a fire blast came out of nowhere and Appa swerved, barely avoiding getting hit by it. They forgot their argument as they now had to deal with bigger problems.

"We're being attacked by fire nation!" Sokka screamed, getting all upset and forgetting that it was obvious. No one else noticed, though, because they were just as panicked as he was.

"And you know what the worst part is?" Sokka said panicked, "We're in the middle of an ocean with nowhere to hide!" Everyone froze, realizing what Sokka said, though it was obvious to anyone not in their position.

"Sokka, steer Appa! I'll try to reflect some of these attacks." Aang said, throwing Appa's reins down. He used his airbending to detour one fire blast, but another one came just as fast. Suddenly, a fire nation ship came from behind them and shot a fire blast at Appa. Sokka and Aang didn't see it, but Katara did. Suddenly everything started going in slow motion as the fire blast came toward them. Part of it hit Appa and he screamed, turning on to his side for a moment, flinging a passenger off, before righting himself. Katara screamed.

"Zuko!"

This could be, this could be the last time

Time seemed to freeze if only for a second as Katara considered saving Zuko. A millisecond was all it took for thousands of doubts to rush through her head, all about not trusting him, all the bad things he had ever done to them, why she should just let him fall to his death. How he was an arrogant prince not worth saving, how this was it, this would be how he died. But in that same millisecond Katara was reminded of all the times he saved her, all the times he had helped her, of how he was teaching Aang firebending. Of how they needed him, and he needed them to survive and that his good side outweighed his bad. That he was just a misunderstood person that just needed some love, somebody to love and care for him.

Time seemed to flash before Zuko's eyes as he fell off Appa. His Agni Kai. His banishment. His search for the Avatar. Finding the Avatar. Capturing and losing the Avatar, over and over again. Meeting her. Then fighting her. Their deal. His loss. Joining the Avatar. Teaching the Avatar- no; Aang, firebending. Hearing her laugh, seeing her. Arguing with her. His thoughts had become conflicted and Zuko realized, in that same millisecond that had Katara thinking, that he didn't want to die. Maybe before, but now? No. He had things to live for. At the same time, they both knew it was time to forgive and forget. They had thingsworth living for thatwould be messed up if they didn't do what they needed to do right now, at this moment.

In that moment, at the same time, they reached for each other's hands.

It's a chance to fix mistakes

One more for the last time

Does it blow our dreams away

Don't waste this chance with your smile

10 seconds left on this dial,

This could be the last time
