Zuko lay in bed, caught between sleep and wakefulness. When he closed his eyes, his mind would be filled with vivid dreams. Then he would open them again, and the images would vanish without a trace.

The images of his short dreams all seemed to relate to one thing; the waterbender. In his mind, he would see her, always doing something different. Sometimes, she was crying, her head buried in her arms as her shoulders shook with sobs. Other times, she was angry, locked in a fighting stance and glaring with her icy blue eyes. He even saw her laughing, those same as closed as her mouth opened widely to let out the joyous sound.

Normally other people occupied his mind. Mai, Azula, his father, his uncle, sometimes even his mother. But at night, she dominated his mind, just as the moon dominated the sky.


Author's Notes: Yeah, I know, really short, but I still like it.
