A/N: What I am posting now is a small collection (three) of song fics of Zutara (Zuko and Katara for those who do not know) that are set to Moulin Rouge songs. Originally, I was going to do the whole movie set to Zutara (!), but then I decided against it because I'm too lazy (imagine that) and I just don't have the patience to actually write it all out and change everything and all of that jazz. So, the first one is "One Day I'll Fly Away." It was the last one I did, but it comes first in the order of songs, so I figured I'd post it first. It's the shortest and, personally, I don't think it's the best one at all, but I do hope you enjoy it. :]

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar or its characters nor do I own Moulin Rouge or its songs. Thankyou!

Katara stood on the cliff, not to close to the edge, but there none-the-less. Her deep blue eyes stared out at the night covered waters, the moon reflecting in the dark colored swells below. She took in a deep breath and thought about Zuko. There had been a little incident where Zuko had met up with Katara; however he had his face concealed by a cloak. When she heard him, she turned to face him and thought he was Aang, the Avatar. They talked and for some reason she hadn't recognized Zuko's voice. Perhaps it was because she wasn't really paying attention, but she told him that she loved him – meaning the Avatar.

"I follow the night," Katara sang lightly to herself. No one was around and her voice wasn't all that bad. Not that she'd sing in front of other people. "Can't stand the light. When will I begin to live again?" Sure, traveling with her brother, Aang, and Toph (and later Zuko) was an adventure and all, but it was becoming a chore almost and it was nearly killing her. The days were approaching when Aang would fight Fire Lord Ozai and when that was over, she'd marry Aang and live as a simple house wife stuck in one home. She didn't want that, it wasn't her.

"Leave all this to yesterday… what more could your love do for me?" Who was this "your?" As far as Katara was concerned, it was Zuko. That was who she had been thinking of, no? What more could Zuko's love do for her? Nothing, that was it, nothing. So, she figured, she wouldn't love him. It was that and the fact that she couldn't fall in love.

"When will love be through with me?" When would it? There had been Haru, Jet, Aang, and Zuko. Had she loved any of them? Did she love any of them now? The word she was looking for was no, but was that really true? Did she mean it when she said she didn't love any of them? Perhaps, but maybe not.

"Why live life from dream to dream and dread the day when dreaming ends?" That's how it all ends, abruptly as if awakening from a very entertaining dream that leaves you wanting to stay in bed all day and hope you fall back asleep to the comforting dream. It was futile; really, it would only leave people in pain.

Zuko exited his tent and looked up at the cliff. There he spotted Katara staring out into the space before her. His golden eyes were locked on her lovely body as he found himself whispering, "How wonderful life is now you're in the world." With that, he began to climb the hill to the cliff.

"One day I'll fly away, leave all this to yesterday." That's what she wanted to do. Just fly away and leave. She wanted all of this behind her, gone so that she could continue on her life as easy as possible. She wanted to travel more and see the world she didn't get to see upon her running and hiding with the Avatar.

"Why live life from dream to dream and dread the day when dreaming ends? One day I'll fly away… fly, fly away," Katara sighed and closed her eyes, standing still for a moment before turning around…


End notes: Okay, so there it was. I hope it wasn't too horrible to read. The next one is Elepahant Love Medley and was the first one I wrote, loving that song the most out of the film and is my favorite out of the three. :]
