Okay so basically I was browsing and randomly started clicking on various pair ups in the avatar section. what I found both shocked me and made me laugh...but mostly made me laugh. then I figured why not write some of my own short Avatar fanfics? It'll be fun and besides maybe it will turn my writers block to rubble.

So anyway get ready for the sappy and the romantic as well as the completely absurd and silly as i attempt to write everything from cannon pairings to complete crack!

Disclaimer: I don"t own Avatar, Mike and Brian along with nickalodian do...lucky buggers.

Chapter 1: The stopover

(sometime shortly after the events of day of black sun

Appa slumped to the ground with a contented groan and Aang and the others slid off with Haru and Sokka lifting Teo and setting him on the ground. "Tired buddy?" Aang asked patting Appa's head. Appa just grunted and started chewing on a nearby bush.

Aang smiled weakly. "I'll take that as a yes" he said before looking up at the others. "We'll get moving again soon" he promised, "Appa just needs a rest is all".

The others nodded as Aang wandered off into the forest. "Do you think he'll be okay?" asked Teo, "he's taking everything pretty hard".

"I hope so" muttered The Duke.

Everyone sat in silence for a few more moments before Katara suddenly jumped up and followed in the direction Aang had went. Sokka moved to follow to but he was stopped byt a hand on his shoulder. Looking back he saw Toph shaking her head.

"Aang" Katara called as she shoved the underbrush out of the way, "Aang where are you?"

"Up here Katara" came a reply from somewhere overhead. Looking up Katara spotted him sitting in a nearby tree staring off into space.

"Are you feeling okay Aang?" asked Katara though she already knew the answer.

"I don't want to talk about it" Aang grumbled.

"It wasn't you fault you know" Katara said, "there was no way we could have known the fire nation would be ready for us".

"I know" Aang sighed as he slipped out of the tree and landed lightly on the ground, "But I still can't help but wonder if there was more I could have done".

Katara toom hold of Aang's shouders and spun him around so she was looking right at him. "Don't think like that" she said softly, "dwelling on what could have been wont do you any good.

"But…"

"No" Katara said more firmly, "listen to me Aang, there was nothing more any of us could have done. What we need to do now is figure out what to do next. Don't worry, everything will work out".

"You really think so?" Aang said.

"I know so" Katara said pulling Aang closer and wrapping her arms around him, "Afer all, you are the Avatar" she muttered clumsily.

Aang chuckled feeling a bit better. "Thank you Katara" he said. Aang looked up and grinned impishly drawing a puzzled look from her before leaning forward and kissing her for the second (or was it third? He couldn't quite remember) time.

The group looked up a few minutes later to find Aang and Katara come walking out of the forest each with one arm around the others waist. Toph grinned, she could feel the blood rushing through the both of them. "Feeling better twinkle toes?" she teased.

"Uhh…" Aang muttered intelligently as he scratched the back of his head both he and Katara blushing furiously, "Yah".

The group all burst out laughing causing the pair to blush even more.
