SO, Im taking a short break from the Boiling Rock series to let my brain storm up some ideas.
Also, Ive been sick the last few days, so I haven't been in the greatest moods to write.
This is a sweet oneshot that I decided to write, but it became longer than I thought, so there will be a second chapter up soonish. Whenever I get to feeling better or inspiration strikes.
Let me know what you guys think! Also, if you have an idea or something you want me to write, just leave me a comment, review thingy and let me know. : )
Thanks so much!

We were on a small island for a few days. We were still hiding out from the fire nation so we decided not to stay very long.
As we hopped off Appa, Toph immediately said "Wow, this place is small! I can almost feel the whole island!"
"Well you should actually see this place!" Aang said, looking around. "Its covered in red, pink, and heart decorations!"
He was right of course, the island was celebrating something. Then out of no where some one popped up behind us and said "Hello!"
It shocked me so bad that I instinctively grabbed Aang's arm and crowded next to him. I could feel the blush on my cheeks, it was burning hot and I couldn't believe what I had just done. I looked up at him and saw a slight blush on his cheeks too. I then instantly let go of him and moved away slowly.
The man seemed to notice our awkward moment, but he shook it off and continued, "My name is Baroh, Welcome to Kanyah Island!"
"Im Aang, this is Katara, Sokka and Toph." Aang said nicely. He was always nice to everyone. He was such a kind person.
I heard the familiar gasp from the man that everyone did when they realized who Aang actually was.
"Oh Great Avatar, Kanyah Island is honored to have you in its presence!" He said bowing.
"Please don't bow," Aang said with a smile, "I'm nothing special, just a normal kid!"
"Oh no no!" Baroh replied, "Someone with your honor should have nothing less then the best of our island! I will start the arrangements right now!"
And with that, he was gone, running towards the small city on the island.
"Well that was odd." I said to break the silence.
"Not as odd as what is coming…" And as Sokka said that, a huge crowd of people started walking towards us. One small girl was ahead of the rest of them and came straight up to Aang and I.
She said to me in a small but sassy voice, "You're a princess aren't you? But more then that, you are Mr. Avatar's princess aren't you?"
Toph and Sokka were fighting so hard to stifle their laughter. Aang and I looked at each other and turned a dark scarlet color.
"Oh honey, no Mr. Avatar and I are just good friends." I said with a smile as I leaned down to talk to the little girl.
"Nope," she said looking at us again with a matter-of-fact look on her face, "You are his girlfriend. I can tell. I smart for my age."
I sighed in defeat because I knew I wasn't going to win this battle.
She leaned over and looked at Aang and motioned for him to come down to her level. She whispered to him but she was so little she didn't know how loud she was even when she whispered.
"Get Ms. Princess a flower. I think she would like that a lot. Oh, and don't forget to be a gentleman Mr. Avatar, open doors for her and pull her chair out for her. And one more thing, don't forget to invite me to the wedding! My name is Meya and I'm 6 years old and live in a little hut across the island. Okay?"
Anng again got a blush on his face but smiled at little Meya and said "Okay Miss Meya."
She smiled and grabbed Aang around the neck and gave him a huge hug.
She let go after a while but you could tell in her face that she had found a new best friend in Aang. She threw her arms up and said, "Up!" insisting that Aang pick her up.
Aang did so and she looked at his arrow on his head and traced it as the rest of the city walked up to where we were. Aang looked so grown up. He had a natural love for kids and they loved him back also. I could feel butterflies in my stomach as I watched him talk to the little girl in his arms.
Finally the rest of the city was around us and they were all smiling and bowing and cheering for Aang. He was smiling but soon quieted the crowd and said "Please stop, you don't have to bow, but thank you for your kindness." He introduced himself formally and me and Sokka and Toph. As we walked back to the town with the crowd a woman came up to us and laughed and said, "Im so sorry Avatar Aang, Meya likes to meet new people at every chance. And she loves to he picked up."
"Oh it is fine," Aang replied with a smile, "She is very nice." He smiled at the little girl.
"I like Mr. Avatar, mommy! He is very nice. Want to meet his princess? That's her, she is also very nice." I had already given up on denying being a princess, so I just laughed and shook it off.
Meya's mother took her shortly after and we all got settled in our house the island provided us with for our stay. Toph and Sokka really liked the unique food so they walked around a lot by themselves laughing and trying new foods. I had a feeling we wouldn't want to leave this place too soon.
The next day was interesting. We all woke up and decided to go off and explore the tiny island and help out the citizens around the city. Turns out Aang and I were the ones helping while Sokka and Toph goofed off, but I was happy being with Aang. He made me happy.
Meya came up some time later and jumped into Aangs arms yet again.
"Hi Mr. Avatar and Mrs. Princess Avatar," She said singing "What are you guys doing?"
Aang was starting to brush off the fact that to Meya I was his 'Princess', so we were both used to it.
"Well Katara and I are helping out and we were thinking about later going on a walk or something to see the island." Aang replied to the girl locked around his neck.
"Sounds like a date Mr. Avatar! Mr. Avatar, you think she is pretty don't you?" She said smiling.
I looked at Aang and smiled and giggled and asked, "Yeah Mr. Avatar, do you think I'm pretty?"
"Uh," Aang stammered in the awkward situation looking between me and the girl in his arms.
"Well?" Meya pressed.
Aang looked at her and then at me one more time and looked into my eyes and said, "I think she is very pretty and the most beautiful princess I've ever seen."
Blush came to my cheeks again and Aang continued whispering loud enough that he knew I could here, but he was saying it to Meya
"And I think its cute when she blushes."
This of course made me blush even more.
Meya was overjoyed at hearing this. She started 'Oh'ing and 'aw'ing at us. She pulled Aangs ear and said to him, "Hey Mr. Avatar, you know what you should do? Ask Ms. Princess to the Love Party that is tomorrow night."
"Hm? What is the 'Love Party'?" he asked her.
"Well, Its this party where all of the boys ask all of the girls to go to this big party with them! There is music, and dancing and games! It's a lot of fun!" She said exasperated after her quick rant about it without taking a breath.
"Hm, does sound fun." He smiled at Meya.
Meya eventually left Aang and I alone, after she told Aang about her best friends, her favorite food, her future plans of being a secret agent, and about her favorite dolly, Molly. Once she left though, it was very quiet.
"Want to take a walk?" Aang asked after some silence.
"Sure." I said a little too quickly. I didn't want it to be that obvious that I wanted to be alone with him longer before Meya popped up again.
We decided to walk around the island by the beach. It was small but cute. We decided to sit down for a while.
Before I could even think about what was coming out of my mouth, the words flew out.
"You think I'm pretty?"
I covered my mouth with my hands right after that and said under my hands, "I'm so sorry! I didn't even mean for that to come out, I shouldn't have—"
"I don't think you are pretty, I think you are the most beautiful girl in the world." He said very calmly and with a half smile on his face.
"Oh. Well then." I said caught off guard by the answer he gave.
"and I wanted to know if you would go to the Love Party with me." He said not as confidently as he had commented on my looks.
"Only if I can be your princess Mr. Avatar!" I said in a very cheesy tone and I obnoxiously batted my eyelashes.
He laughed and then I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and said, "Aang, I would love to go with you."
He blushed and I also commented further and said "Oh and you are cute also when you blush."
And with that I stood up and grabbed his hand and said, "Come on Mr. Avatar your Meya awaits your return, and I'm sure she will be overjoyed to hear who asked Ms. Princess to the Party."
Of course Meya was overjoyed. She danced around and sang songs about Aang and I in trees, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. We of course blushed like crazy but it was always kind of funny.
The whole rest of the day went by in a blur. It consisted of walks, water bending practice and playing games. And surly Meya was there for the fun. She was sweet though. Very bold but very nice.
She made no hesitation to of course add in all of the little comments on Aang and I blushing and smiling at each other. She would yell at Aang if he wasn't a proper gentleman all day while I stood there giggling and nodding my head with little Meya. The day had been great and I was so excited for the next day. I just needed to figure out how to tell Sokka about me and Aang's plans.
"You are what?" Sokka said
"I'm going to the Love Party with Aang, and there is nothing you can do about it Sokka! I'm old enough to make these decisions on my own!" I insisted.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Sokka said, being stubborn like Meya.
"Oh come on snoozles, lighten up. You are dating Suki and Katara didn't say anything. Let it go. Let your sister live a little." Toph said on my side.
"No! That is totally different! I am older!" He said still putting up a fight.
"By one lousy year! Sokka, you can either get over this and except it or I guess you can mope around the house, but either way I am going to that party with Aang and there is nothing that is going to change that. Got it?" I said as my final statement.
"Well…I guess…but I still don't like this idea…" He said.
I ran up to him and gave him a hug. "Thanks Sokka." I said as I ran out of our little house to go find Aang. He had been hiding across the island from Sokka incase he took his opinion a little out of hand.
"Aang!" I yelled. I soon saw a familiar orange figure flying towards me. He landed in front of me with a small smile on his face. A smile that was hoping I had brought good news.
"So?" He said looking at me prepared for the worst.
"You really think I would let him say no? Plus we had Toph on our side." I said half smiling.
We both hugged in joy and decided to head back home. Tomorrow was going to be fun, we both could tell.
