Aang looked at her from behind a pillar

Aang looked at her from behind a pillar. She was bending some water into pots,
probably for dinner. Should he tell her now? What was keeping him? He sighted and
made his decision. He walked towards her.
"Hi, Katara" He said as casual as possible
"Oh, hi Aang" Katara replied "Can you help me with these? They're really
heavy" She handed him a jar.
"Katara, I… I've got to tell you something" Aang whispered and he turned red.
"What?" Katara seemed suspicious "Did Sokka eat all our food? I'm gonna kill him for that…!"
"No, no… He didn't…" Aang began.
"Was it Zuko? If he hurt you, you've got to tell me, 'cause I will throw him off the cliff personally."
"No, Katara please. Listen!" He sighted. Why can't she listen? It makes it only
harder… He looked away. C'mon… Do it now!
"Katara, I…"
"Hey, Aang!" Teo, Haru and the Duke called from a bridge "We found this
awesome new room! Wanna go look with us?"
"Er…" He looked at Katara. What did it matter? He couldn't tell her anyway…
"Sure. I got to bring these to the camp first. Wait for me, ok?"
"Of course!"
Aang and Katara brought the pots to the camp and when Aang walked back to Haru,
Teo and the Duke, who where waiting for him impatiently, Katara asked: "What
exactly did you want to tell me Aang?"
"You'll find out" Aang told her and he blew himself to the boys on the bridge.

Aang followed the boys and they lead him to al large, half-open hall. The hall was bright, with paintings on the wall. He had been there before. Just once, but the memory was still there. As if it was just yesterday.

The young airbenders were running through the big hall. The nuns tried to keep them calm, but failed completely. They were too excited. Then the bisons were brought in and the children fell silent. A nun held a basket with apples. "Choose well," She said "A skybison is a companion for life." Every kid picked an apple and Aang looked around. The smallest one was staring at him and Aang liked the bison from the moment he saw him. He walked at him and extended the apple. Gratefully the bison ate it and licked his face while pushing the airbender on the ground. Aang laughed "I guess this means we'll always be together… Appa"

Aang wiped his eyes. Yes, they'd always be together, he and Appa. He wanted to be with someone else too, but he could only hope that would ever happen.
