It has been two years since Aang, the Avatar, and his friends defeated Ozai and the Fire Nation. After Fire Lord Ozai was removed from power, Prince Zuko took the thrown and made a promise to the Fire Nation and to the whole world that he would restore honor to the Fire Nation.

In remembrance of their great accomplishment, Zuko invited everyone, in what they called "Team Avatar", to his home in beautiful Ember Island.

Everyone in the group was older and had matured since they all had last met as a complete group.

Aang was now a growing, muscular, 14-year-old boy. His sweet child-like voice grew deeper but never lost its familiar sound. He was now taller than Katara, which she preferred, and because of his training he grew incredibly strong.

Katara was a beautiful and slender 16-year-old girl. She had grown into her body and had stunning features. Her skin was tan and she still had her long beautiful braided hair.

Sokka grew to be a strong young man. He was now 18 and was considered an adult in the southern Water Tribe. He became muscular and more mature. But he never lost his goofy ways and his love for meat.!

Katara and Aang were an inseparable couple. Aang had moved to the southern Water Tribe to live with Katara and Sokka. Unless Aang was on an important Avatar duty, he was right by Katara's side. A day hadn't gone by where they did not sleep in the same room or even the same bed. Their love was wonderfully strong. Sokka periodically stayed with Suki on Kyoshi Island, but mostly lived back home in the southern Water Tribe.

Toph had began a metalbending school in Ba Sing Se. She thought it was important to teach this skill to earthbenders. She was still her old self a small, now teenage girl, with a hard exterior and a strong attitude.

Zuko had told them to all meet on the anniversary date of the defeat of Ozai, and that he would join them a day later.

The day before the journey to Ember Island, Katara and Aang began to pack for their much needed getaway vacation.

"Hey My love," Aang soothingly said to his gorgeous girlfriend. "Would you please come over here I need help for second."

"Of course dear," Katara replied. "What do you need help with?"

Aang suddenly reached out and put his arm around Katara's waist and pulled her to him. They were now face to face with their heads practically touching. Aang stared into his lover's sapphire blue eyes. How did I ever end up with a girl like her.

"I need help, I'm looking for a beautiful girl to hold in my arms and love me until the next Avatar is born." Aang whispered sensually.

Katara put her lips right to his ear and whispered, "I can definitely help you with that."

Aang then threw a kiss onto her lips. The kiss grew more and more passionate as Katara slipped her tongue into his mouth. As their tongues danced, their heads swiveled from one side to another. Katara's hand gripped Aang's back and the other was gently placed on his neck.. Aang began to explore her body. The feeling of Aang's hands on her made her shiver with pleasure. They than released the kiss for the sake of air.

He gave her one last kiss and than released her from the warmth of his body.

"Are you all packed up, because we're picking up Sokka and Suki tomorrow and we'll have to wake up early."

"Yes, I'm all ready Aang. How about we go to bed earlier tonight… so we can rest up and be ready tomorrow morning." Katara bulged her lower lip out and batted her beautiful blue eyes. She knew Aang couldn't resist her. She could have told him to go jump into the arctic water and he would have done it for her.

"Katara, it's still a little early… the sun has barely set. And look! We're both wide awake." Aang stated.

"But Aaannnggyy!" Katara playfully complained. "If you're not gonna go to bed now, I guess I'll just have to lie in this bed, shivering from the cold and alone with no one to comfort me." Katara dramatically said knowing that the playful guilt trip would be enough to get him to come to her.

Aang not wanting to lose this playful battle, "well… I guess you will just be shivering, alone, and uncomforted." Chuckling a little letting her know he wasn't going to give in to her.

Katara, with a firm voice, complained to him, "Aaannngg, get over here and love me!"

It was harder and harder for Aang to not run over there and embrace her but he knew he couldn't just give in to her, and plus he loved when Katara begged for him. It made him feel wanted and loved.

"Nuh-uh Miss Katara you're just going to have to wait until I'm tired."

Katara did not want to give in, but she craved his touch. Fine avatar boy, you win this battle but the war is not over.

Katara, still dressed in her night close, which consisted of a white small top with hide pants, walked over to Aang and slid her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest. With this gesture Aang knew he had won.

"Baby, will you please come to bed with me. You know I can't sleep when you're not by my side and I need your warmth and embrace." Katara muffled into Aang's muscular chest.

Aang did not answer but just placed a single kiss on her head and then swiftly, in one motion, picked up Katara and brought her to the bed. He placed her down and straddled her, hovering over her beautiful body. He slowly moved closer to her and placed his soft lips on hers. The contact made her quiver and she closed her eyes in passion. She rolled over so now she was on top of Aang. Katara pressed her perfect body against his as they kissed and explored each other's mouths with their tongues. After she pulled off of his soft lips, she tugged on Aang's shirt and pulled it off of him exposing his toned abdominal muscles and chest. Kissing him with rapid short kisses she excited him as the hair on the back of his neck stood up. She moved down to his jaw line, then his neck, then to his chest. Katara sat up on him then crossed her arms in front of her grabbing her shirt beginning to pull it off. Aang quickly placed his hand where her arms crossed over.

"Katara… I don't think we're ready for this. I love you so much but we can wait. Wait for a right time to express it this way. Don't worry the day will come but now is not it."

Katara understood and she placed her shirt back down and laid herself down on Aang. She felt his heartbeat and how quickly it was going. I must have really got him going. Katara thought. She felt his chest raise and lower with his breathing. She than got up to Aang's face and gave him one last kiss.

"Good night my love. I will see you again when I wake." Katara said as she smiled at her boyfriend.

"Good night, Sifu Katara. He knew that would make her blush. I will see you in my dreams and when they have finished, in the real world." Aang professed to her.

He blew out the candle next to the bed allowing a peaceful darkness to settle in the room. From Katara's steady breathing he knew she was asleep.

"I love you Katara. With all my heart and if I lost you…" Aang hesitated. He couldn't even think about it… "I would be lost and destroyed."

They both fell asleep in each other's embrace.
