This fan fiction story will focus generally on the lives of the gaang after the war, in other words, Aang and Katara's relationship. The story will also focus on the gaang helping to rebuild the world and deal with some problems. One of those problems will be the rebels... So, this isn't gonna be like one of those big action like stories, but there will still be some action and stuff in it. I am a major fan of the show an am trying to write a story of what could really happen if Mike and Bryan continued the series (though I'm gonna add some more kataang fluff!:P). That means I'm not adding any retarded crap about Jet still being alive or Azula magically breaking out and attacking everyone. I'm not sure if I'm even gonna have Zuko find his mother. I'm still debating that. It takes place immediately after the events of Sozin's Comet: Part 4. If you're a kataang fan, this is for you! Also, there's some might be some Sukka and Maiko, mostly kataang though. Possibly someone for Toph, too, but I don't want to spoil anything. Hope you enjoy. ;)
CHAPTER 1: A NEW DAY
The sun began to rise in Ba Sing Se as everyone started to wake up. Aang woke up while smiling at the thought of the previous day. Only yesterday at sunset, he and Katara had shared a very passionate kiss together. That was when Katara was no longer confused and realized that she loved Aang and confessed her feelings for him through that kiss.
Aang couldn't be happier. The long, hundred-year war was finally over and he had the girl of his dreams at last.
Hearing the rest of the gaang getting up, prompted Aang to quit pondering on these thoughts to get ready for the day. So, he got out of bed, pulled on his monk robes, and washed up, before leaving his room and heading into the kitchen for breakfast.
As Aang walked into the kitchen, he saw that Sokka and Zuko were already up, eating breakfast. They were discussing the upcoming meetings that Zuko and Aang needed to attend. Sokka, of course, had a big plate of meat in front of him, which he quickly devoured.
"Yeah, so Aang, I was just talking with Sokka about the meeting we got to go to in three days. The council of five is gonna be there, as well as some representatives from the water tribes" Zuko said.
"Great" Aang said, while rolling his eyes and taking a seat. "Any idea who's representing the water tribes?"
"I think Chief Arnook is representing the Northern Water Tribe and Chief Hakoda is representing the South one" stated Zuko.
Zuko looked at Aang feeling concerned, for he didn't seem at all thrilled about the upcoming council meeting. Before he had time to respond to Aang, the doors opened again as Mai, Suki, Toph, and Katara walked in.
"Hey Aang" Katara said while walking over to sit beside Aang. She pecked him on the cheek as Aang blushed a bit.
"Hi Katara" Aang replied as he put his arm around Katara's waist and kissed her back. "You look beautiful today."
She smiled at him. He loved the way she smiled. He thought it made her look even more stunningly pretty. "Aww, you're so sweet" Katara said, blushing.
"Okay, whoa now! Just because I've given you guys permission to date doesn't mean I need to see you guys getting all mushy around me" Sokka said as his own girlfriend, Suki, came over to sit beside him.
"Sokka, I've told you already that you can't tell me what I do with my boyfriend" she said back, slightly annoyed.
Aang blushed a bit again when Katrara used the word boyfriend. He wasn't quite used to it yet. He was remembering the night before when Katara and he had kissed on the balcony.
Katara and Aang stood there on the balcony in each other's arms after sharing their kiss. They were both blushing deeply and Aang was trying to speak.
"Katara I–I love you. I love you so much, ever since the day I first woke up from being in the iceberg, and I will always love you."
"I love you too, Aang. I was so scared when you were fighting Ozai that if you didn't make it I would have never been able to tell you how I really feel about you" Katara said softly with a slight amount of fear in her voice.
Aang and Katara shared another long kiss together before they rejoined the rest of gaang who were still complaining to Sokka about his painting; that is, everyone except Toph. She was smirking about something, and that was when Aang realized that she must've felt them out there and their emotions.
"Well, well, well, it's about time Twinkle-Toes and Sugar Queen" Toph called out, still smirking.
The gaang all turned to look at Aang and Katara standing there hand in hand.
"What's this?" Suki asked Toph, perplexed.
"Yeah, what is this" Sokka asked suspiciously as he turned to look at Aang and Katara and immediately noticed that they were holding hands.
Aang and Katara both blushed. Aang sighed quietly before responding to Sokka and the rest of the gaang. "Sokka I…I love Katara."
"Sokka does seem quite shocked; I'll tell him" Katara thought to herself. "Sokka, its true… and I love Aang, too."
"Well it's not like we weren't expecting this" Zuko said as Suki, Mai, and Toph all nodded in agreement.
"WHAT?" Sokka yelled out looking from the gaang to Aang and Katara.
"Geez Sokka, just because you're too dumb to notice it doesn't mean the rest of us are. Aang and Katara have liked each other for ages. Haven't you?" Zuko asked looking towards them.
"Yeah, I guess" Aang said, feeling a bit uncomfortable at this big commotion being made about Katara and him.
Katara sensed what he was feeling, so she spoke up. "Look Sokka, just because Aang is my boyfriend now doesn't mean you need to make a big deal out of this."
Sokka was about to argue back, but Suki grabbed his arm. "She's right Sokka. Just leave them be" Suki told Sokka soothingly.
At last Sokka calmed down. "Okay. Aang you have my permission to date my sister, just as long as I don't have to see any of the things you do and if you ever hurt her I swear I… I'll–"
Aang cut across him. "Alright Sokka, I get the point and relax because I wouldn't ever want to hurt Katara."
"What about when you burned her?" Sokka asked while attempting to stay calm, though not doing a very good job.
"Aang didn't mean to Sokka. It was a complete accident and you know that" Katara replied, defending Aang, which did make him feel a lot better.
"I think it's great that you two are finally together" Mai said unexpectedly.
"Hey, Aang? Aang, you still there?" Katara asked him tenderly.
He hadn't realized how much he had drifted into his thoughts from the previous day. "Huh…oh I…uhh must've drifted off or something" he replied as he came back to consciousness.
"Do you need anything? Are you tired?" Katara asked soothingly.
"What? No, I–I'm fine" Aang said back.
"Yeah… so, as I was saying, I don't want to see you to getting all mushy around me, okay?" Sokka stated clearly.
"Me and Aang can do whatever we want when we want" Katara shot back. "I don't tell you and Suki what not to do in your relationship."
"That's different. Were older than–"
"Can you guys just lay off each other for a while? I'm getting sick of listening to all of this" Toph complained as she bit into her apple.
"Well anyway" Zuko said as he got up from the table. "I need get going now. I got to talk with General Fong about a trade route being established between the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation. I can't say I want to go, but he sent me a messenger hawk a couple days ago and requested we discuss this, and I'd rather just get it over with today. Would you like to come with me Mai?"
"I guess that sounds good. Though, I've always council meetings incredibly bleak and boring. You just better make this up to me later" Mai said as she gave an unexpected grin to Zuko and followed him out.
"Come on Suki, you said we could go shopping today and I want to see if I can find materials to make a new sword from" Sokka told his girlfriend.
"Ooh, that sounds like fun. I was also hoping to get a new dress for the dance the Earth king's having next week." Suki mumbled excitedly. Both, her and Sokka, got up, said goodbye to Aang, Toph, and Katara, and then hurriedly left.
"I better go see how many more people have signed up for the Earth bending tournament" muttered Toph. "I can't wait to beat them all. See you later Twinkle-Toes and Sugar Queen."
Aang and Katara were now alone together.
"So, what do you want to do?" Aang asked Katara.
"How about we go for a walk" Katara suggested.
"Yeah, that sounds great" Aang replied.
Aang took Katara's hand as he got up and walked outside with her. The day was bright and stunning.
"It's beautiful out here today" Katara said.
"I can think of something more beautiful" Anng told her, grinning.
"Oh, and what's that?" Katara murmured, knowing in her head what he would say.
"Well, she's nice, pretty, kind, and compassionate, and makes me the luckiest guy in the world" Aang replied.
"Okay, what's going on?" Katara asked pleasantly. "How'd I get such a sweet boyfriend?"
"What?" Aang replied, innocently smiling. "I can't say something nice about the most important thing in the world to me?"
"As long as that important thing you're referring to is me" Katara replied blushing.
"Of course it's you, Katara. I love you more than anything else in the world" Aang whispered in her ear as he kissed it.
She turned to look into his large gray eyes. She had always admired those stunning gray eyes. They were like to vast orbs of stormy gray clouds. Katara remembered how goofy and innocent Aang used to be when she had first met him and still saw that caring goofy look in his eyes, but no longer was Aang just some goofy kid. Now he was a fully realized avatar, master of all four elements, and the most powerful being in the universe. She leaned in to kiss Aang and he responded by kissing her, too. Her arms moved from cupping his cheeks to around his neck and Aang put his around her waist and pulled her closer to him as his body was pressed against her. He loved the feeling of his lips on hers and thought of how lucky he was to have a girl like her.
Their kiss became more passionate and their mouths opened wider allowing their tongues to entangle with one another, both of them fighting for dominance. This was new for Aang, but he loved it all the same and gripped Katara harder, while allowing her tongue to take over and enter his mouth.
Aang and Katara broke their kiss after a few minutes, realizing that they were still in a public area. A group of girls of about Aang's age, passed by Katara and him, all of them whispering and eying him. He noticed that his arms were still around her, but he not release them and instead kept them there so the group of girls knew he already had a girlfriend. They had apparently all been thinking about what the best way would be to try and talk to him and seeing his arms around Katara didn't please any of them. In fact, most of them looked quite annoyed that he was already with somebody. One of the girls pointed at him and whispered something as the others all giggled.
Katara of course did not enjoy the fact that other girls were gawking at Aang with aw. "Let's go" Katara said, taking Aang's hand walked on bring him with her, eager to get far away from the gawking girls.
One of the girls broke away from the rest and was brave enough to approach Aang and Katara. Katara wasn't happy.
"H-hi Avatar A-Aang" she stammered while doing her best to ignore the other girls who were giggling uncontrollably. "You can come hang out with us if you want (she motioned towards the other girls who immediately stopped staring). You don't need to hang out with her." Katara suddenly glared at the girl.
"But she's my girlfriend" Aang said sternly.
The girl blushed. "Oh…well then…um…by" she said quickly as she ran to join the other girls again. They all quickly ran off.
Aang knew Katara was still feeling a little jealous, so he assured her "Don't worry Katara, I would never leave you for any of them. I love you, and only you. You know that, right?"
"I guess I just didn't like the sight of those girls watching you because I was afraid you'd… you'd choose one of them over me, I mean you're the all powerful avatar and I'm just a-a southern peasant–"
Aang leaned in and kissed her again, passionately. When he pulled away he spoke up. "No Katara, you're the most amazing thing in the world to me. You make me so happy every single day I live. Without you I couldn't live, you mean far too much to me. I should be the one questioning whether I'm good enough for you."
Katara smiled, as a tear ran down her face. "I love you Aang" she said warmly.
Aang brushed away the tear on her face. "I love you too Katara, more than anything else in the world and I always want to be with you."
Well, I hope you like the first chapter. This is my first fan fiction so I would really appreciate it if you guys reviewed it and told me what you think. I do plan on continuing this story for a long time, but this will mostly depend on if you guys like this or not. By reviewing you can tell me if there's anything you think I can improve or something I can do to make it better. Don't be afraid to mention things about the story that weren't good. I appreciate all reviews, good or bad, because they will help improve my story. I know there wasn't a large large amount of kataang fluff in this chapter, but it's only the first one, after all. I promise I'll have more in the upcoming chapters. Also, the next one will be longer. Thanks, again and please, please remember to review. I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can. Bye. ;)
