-flashback-

"Do Chin, Everything's ready for tonight right?" I asked

"Everything is ready Your Highness. But if you please just calm down it's still afternoon and you have a lot of time to prepare" Do chin

"I can't wait!" I said

"Yes." Do chin said

-end of flashback-

I was going to east quarters to see Katara
At the top of her window I exclaimed her name "Katara." I said

She opened the window. A beautiful maiden opened the window. I smiled at her and she was in shock.

She immediately closed the window and cried out "Zuko! You're not allowed here. We're not allowed to see each other until the wedding!"

I smiled "Don't worry" I said
"I just want to spend the night with you." I said

"Go now! Head mistress might saw you!" She said

(Head mistress- the Instructor of Katara. Lee Sol Im)

I smiled at her again "I have the permission of Mother." I said

"It can't be. Sleep now" she said

"Okay" I said and hid behind the bush

"Wait!" She cried out and suddenly opened the window 

Haha. I knew it! She would open it.

While she's finding me outside I go to her door silently without her knowing and opened it she looked back shocked again

"Zuko" She said I smiled at her.

I grab her hand and walked outside the door. "Surprise" I whispered at her

She smiled in shock. "Thank you Zuko!" She said

She kept looking at the Curtains around the small puppet stage and the cherry blossoms at the back I grab her hand again "let's sit now and watch the puppet show." I said

"Yes" she said

We sit in the two chairs just for us and the cherry blossoms behind the stage, the petals are staring to fall, time is ticking slowly like it's only two of us and then the show started

 

Katara clapped "The story is amazing! I liked it." She said 

It all started to a Maiden and a Crown Prince. One night, when the Maiden and her parents attended a celebration in the palace.  The Maiden explored the beautiful palace and then entered a gate and then saw a young man who's climbing in the ladders to escape thewalls. The Maiden become suspicious about the young man and thought he was a thief. She has no idea that the young man is the crown prince. So, she shouted "thief" and then guards are going that way. The crown prince pulled her and ran away they hid under the peach tree with the crescent moon above. The young man was love at first sight. He keep on sending letters to the Maiden and the maiden soon realize he's the crown prince. So the maiden became the crown princess. And they have their wedding rites and became the King and Queen of the kingdom  because of their love the kingdom is happy, full of wealth and there's no poor and it's because of the good heart of the Highnesses. Years  later  they had a daughter and they named it crescent to remind their first meeting under the peach tree above the crescent moon. The daughter is beautiful she had a lips red as rose, smooth skin and a long hair. But one night the Queen and King died because someone murdered them. The King and Queen was on their bed resting each other while holding each other's hand. The king and queen died the same night on how they met they also died on the night with crescent moon and the peach tree leaves are starting to fall.  Everyone in the kingdom became sad. But it was rejoyed by their daughter, crescent she became the queen and brought back the joy of the kingdom and then later on,She named their kingdom "Moonlight" to remind the remarkable love story of her mother and father.

I looked at her "I'm glad you like them." I said and then I gave her a red handkerchief with gold strands of flower

"You'll be needing this." I said

"Why?" She asked

"Trust me. It's not easy to sleep when you are far away from your parents" I said

She smiled "I don't need that. I already experienced that. I endured that my father is war and endured it for two years." She said

I smiled and still give it to her "trust me. I insist it you'll be needing it." I said

She get the handkerchief and I bowed to her. "Thank you for giving me your time." I said

"Thank you zuko" she said

"Good Night Katara, Sleepwell" I said

She smiled at me "You too." She said

And I turn back and left I saw Do chin and I nodded at him and pur Thumbs up. I smiled and him. And left

She liked the movie. It's a success!
