Never to Be

Katara stared wistfully out her window that faced the arctic waters of the South Pole. It had been at least six years since the defeat of Fire Lord Ozai. She wished Aang would burst in through those doors and get down on one knee and profess his love for her.

She sighed. That wouldn't happen though, he was off in the world trying to restore balance that the Fire Nation disrupted. They still wrote to each other but she hadn't seen him for six years. Six years, it felt so much longer.

It had only been after Aang had left that she realized that she loved him, only after she had rejected him.

He probably hates me now. Only pretends to like me. I wouldn't blame him. I broke his heart.

She sighed again, and began to idly bend small orbs of water to ice and then flick them off the window sill while still staring in to the azure depths of the ocean. Suddenly a dark speck appeared. It was moving quite fast and looked to be heading in the direction of the city.

She gasped when she realized it was Appa. Aang, he's here, he's coming. Oh god what do I do. Calm down Katara. She silently reassured herself. He obviously doesn't hate you if he's coming. All you have to do is not freak out and make a complete fool out of your self.

As the speck came closer she could easily make out the arrow atop of both of their heads. Aang turned his head in sweeping motions as if looking for a place to land, but then he saw her. He looked directly at her, those beautiful storm grey eyes that held so much emotion.

He spurred Appa on with a yip yip. Appa landed gracefully on the ice just below her house she shared with Sokka. With his signature airbending he jumped off of Appa and looked up at Kataras' shocked face. He flashed her a grin and bounded through the door.

Katara sat in shock for a moment, amazed at how much a little wishfull thinking could do . After the initial shock af seeing Aang she jumped up from her seat and ran to her door way where Aang stood.

He stood there for a moment and just stared at her for a moment, and then he grabbed her and pulled her into a monster of a hug where he buried his still bald head in her hair.

" I missed you so much Katara" Aang whispered into her ear. The sound of his voice sent shivers down her spine.

" I missed you too Aang" Katara whispered back breathlessly.

When she dared look up at him she saw that it was not Aang, but Zuko that now held her. She jumped back with a scream of fright as he threw a flame punch at her.

Katara woke up and burst into tears.
