Okay this is just a simple, spur of the moment Zutara one shot. Inspired by many of the songs I relate to Zuko & Katara. The two top that inspired this are The Waltz by Kaci Brown and Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy & Here's to the Night by Eve 6. Enjoy….

The Waltz: Zutara One Shot

"Sokka were are we?" Katara asked.

They'd been walking aimlessly for hours now.

"I don't know," Sokka shrugged, "What about you Aang?"

Aang shook his head and shrugged.

"So we're lost…again. We will never get to the North Pole if we continue on like this." Katara said walking a little faster.

Night was approaching on them and fast.

"Hey look!" Aang pointed ahead of them.

"That's weird a town? It's not on the map." Sokka looked at the town then the map.

"Who cares? Lets go." Katara ran quickly up the path and into the town.

The boys sprinted to keep with her manic pace.

Katara breathed a deep sigh once in the town, all the lights were out except in the biggest house.

Most likely the meetinghouse. Katara eager to find out what was going on ran up to the huge door. She knocked; a woman with bleach blonde hair answered the door.

"Hello, I am Miss Long-son." She smiled

"Hi, I'm Katara and this is my brother---" Katara looked around the boys had disappeared, "Well its just me I guess."

"You must join us in our ball young lady." She snapped her fingers.

Katara's water tribe robes were gone in their place was a red dress (A/N: Looks like Belle's from Beauty and the Beast but ya know red).

"What the" Katara didn't finish the lady jerked her into the candle lit room.

"I have the perfect partner for you, Katara." The lady said.

She left and went to find the boy she'd been talking about. Katara sighed.

'Whom on earth could that lady have picked out? I hope he's handsome and taller than me. Its harder to dance with boys who are shorter than you.' Katara felt immediately guilty for that last comment Aang was shorter than her.

"This is her Prince Zuko." Ms. Long-son said.

Katara's head shot up, "Zuko?"

"You two have fun." Ms. Long-son left.

"I wanted to dance but you don't have to." Zuko said suddenly.

"No, Ms. Long-son will question and harp on his if we don't. She seems like the kind that would do that." Katara took Zuko's hand.

The song that the band struck up was slow but not to slow. Zuko's hand left Katara's and he placed it on her waist. And then he placed the other one on her left hip. Katara put her arms around his neck. The dance began. Katara didn't know this dance.

"What is this dance?" Katara whispered to Zuko.

"Its from the Fire Nation, its called a the Hei and Mizu Waltz." Zuko explained.

"Wait Hei and Mizu? That means the Fire and Water Waltz." Katara couldn't breath as Zuko pulled her close. This dance somehow connected to them in some weird way.

Katara followed Zuko as he moved expertly across the dance floor. Zuko was impressed by her skills it was her first time and already she was hitting every move correctly. The dance was called the Hei and Mizu dance for a reason it required more of an aggressive male dancer and a slow, gracefull female dancer. Which is exactly what Zuko and Katara were togather aggressive and graceful.

The dance ended. Katara looked at Zuko and blushed.

"Did I do good?" she asked.

Zuko said nothing, he looked down.

"Oh it was that bad huh?" Katara blushed crimson.

"NO, NO, you were wonderful, you dance beautifully." Zuko smiled.

Katara felt her heart leap, 'Could he be the powerful bender Aunt Wu was talkin about? Maybe it wasn't Aang. Maybe Zuko is the one.'

Before she could stop herself Katara laid a soft kiss on Zuko's lips; she tried to pull back. Zuko put his hand on the back of her head making sure she couldn't move. He wished this moment could last forever. Knowing he and Katara would have to return to reality the second they stepped out that door. But he just didn't know about Aunt Wu's predictions now did he?
