They'd been separated for only a few days, but to Zuko it felt like it had been much longer. He went out on the balcony in his room; it was dark out, but the moon was full illuminating the world. He looked out into the gardens and to the turtle-duck pond below him, as he stared at the water, he recalled the words he'd once said to a girl on a night much like this one.
"You rise with the moon, I rise with the sun."
He smirked remembering, when he'd said those words, he hadn't known that the girl he'd said them to would one day become his wife. Zuko looked up at the moon again and sighed, he missed Katara the most at night, the time when her element was dominate.
'Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight'
Hundreds of miles away in the Earth Kingdom Katara was out on her balcony looking at the moon the source of her element's power. Katara was far from her birthplace in the South Pole, but even farther away from her new home in the Fire Nation.
As she looked at the moon she said a little prayer to Yue the spirit of the moon, praying to have this new treaty signed soon so that she could return home to Zuko. Yue seemed to respond to Katara's prayer, because as soon as the last words of her prayer ended, the moon seemed to nod as if telling Katara that her prayer had been heard and her wish to go home would be answered.
'Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star'
A breeze brushed against Zuko's face, teasing his senses with the scent of the salty sea air, the way that Katara smelled. Also in that wind the seemed to be a haunting lullaby, like the one that his mother used to sing to him when he had nightmares. The words were about two lovers separated by death but in the night they were together under the sky. Although he and Katara were both alive it served as a reminder, that he and Katara were both underneath the same moon and sky.
'And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky'
Katara sighed and wished for time to move faster so that she could begin the long journey home. She whispered, "Good night Zuko. I love you," into the wind and went back inside to her room, to dream of her prince.
'And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true'
Zuko listened to the wind rustle and as he was turning to go inside he thought he heard Katara's voice in the wind whispering, "Good nigh Zuko. I love you."
Zuko paused and whispered back, "Good night my water bender. I love you too."
'And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true.'
