Author's Note: I'm so happy to be working on this! I took quite a prolonged break from , feeling like I didn't have an obligation to keep updating after finishing Dear Diary. I gave up the computer for Lent, so that is another reason I was never on. But I kind of caved for a split second and I really wanted to write this new story--I can definitely see the potential behind it. Every time I write now, it seems it's my original stories. But today I had an urge to write and I didn't feel like writing my own works, so I decided, "Hey, what about that fan fiction that I casted to the side?" :) I had written an AWFUL first chapter to this, and I just threw that first draft out the window and started a completely new first chapter because the other one was so incredibly crappy. Any way, I deeply apologize for my unnecessary long break from the stress of keeping up with stories, but now that I have a new, fresh, and original story going, I'm excited to see the outcome! I hope there are still plenty of avatards out there on , or else I'm writing to no one! I'm aiming to get more reviews/views than Dear Diary, hopefully I can make that happen! (Actually, only you can make that happen. Please read and enjoy my stories!)

The car turned a street corner as the two occupants chatted with each other about their lives, school, and whatever else they came up with. Katara was eighteen years old, and a senior at Kyoshi High. She was the MVP of the swim team, a skilled potter, and one of the most popular girls at school. She was beautiful; her tan skin shined in the sunlight and chocolate hair billowed down her back like a waterfall. Her piercing blue eyes were soft with understanding. Her favorite color was blue, and she always made sure that some part of her wardrobe contained the captivating color.

Then there was Aang. He was seventeen years old; a junior at Kyoshi High. He played lacrosse, track, and he was a pole vault jumper. He loved being outdoors more than anything else. He had dark brown hair that was slightly untamed but suited his personality. His pale skin glowed and his stormy grey eyes were intriguing and mysterious, unlike his personality. He made known his emotions, but not in the whiny, annoying way. He expressed himself wonderfully, and everyone could tell just what kind of person he was just by looking at him. He preferred to wear bright colors; oranges and yellows were more often seem on him than the drab greys and blacks.

He had one distinct quality about him that separated him from the rest of the crowd; Aang had bright blue tattoos. The first impression that people get when they think of someone with tattoos is that they are trouble. They also tend to think of dark skulls and roses and the names of ex-girlfriends written on banners in front of hearts or carried by cupid. That wasn't Aang's style. Aang had arrow tattoos tracing across all of his limbs, and even extending over his head and pointing downward on his forehead. The bright blue lines swirled around his arms and made their point at his hands, the same to go with his feet, and continued on for eternity, the point always leading to some place new.

Katara and Aang were friends. They were really close and they shared everything together. Out of their whole group, they were closest with each other. There was also Toph, she was Aang's age, and she was blind. However, she somehow managed to play practically every sport their school had to offer and be the best player in the country.

Sokka was Katara's brother, and he was now in college, but he still lived at home, since it was close by. All his college buddies thought he was so lame for hanging out with his little sister and her "little high schooler friends", but he thought nothing of it. To him, they were great friends, even if they did tease him all the time.

They also hung out with Haru, who had already started sprouting a mustache in junior year (and refused to shave it off), "The Duke" (His football nickname, which everyone addressed him by. He was a pretty good player for someone who was still 4"8.), "Pipsqueak" (Another nickname made up as a joke. The guy was huge!), Teo, who was paralyzed from the waist down but still as adventurous as Aang, and many other friends. However, Katara, Aang, Sokka, and Toph were the strongest friends and always hung out with each other.

The group also recently greeted Zuko, who used to bully Aang around a lot but decided he wanted to change his ways. Aang welcomed him in right away, which surprised Katara since he really hurt Aang throughout the years. She had held a grudge against him for a long time, but they had made amends and respected one another now.

Katara also secretly had a crush on Aang for about two years now. She had first noticed her feeling for him back when she was only a sophomore and he was just a freshman. He had asked her to a school dance, not the big senior prom nights, since they were too young, but just a fun school party. That night Katara had started to develop feelings for the boy. Now that she was a senior, she was thinking of returning the favor by asking him to the prom. She was just nervous that he would reject her.

They were on the highway and Aang was going really fast. He had the windows rolled down so that they could feel the rush of the wind. Riding with Aang was always so exhilarating for Katara! She had asked him to driv her to a swim meet that was pretty far away, and he, of course, said yes. Aang loved to watch Katara's swim meets, and he drove her whenever she asked.

Of course, Katara had a car of her own. She also had a big brother and a loving father who would both be more than willing to take her. Katara just always loved to go with Aang, and everyone understood why. There were the obvious reasons: he was her best friend, she had a crush on him, and since he loved to go, why not carpool? However, there were other selfish reasons in which Katara to want to go with him, and she laughed whenever she thought of it; Aang had a sweet ride. For a seventeen year old, he was able to drive with the best of them.

The two laughed together as Katara clutched her swim bag containing all of her gear. They were almost at their destination, and she didn't want the ride to end! It had been one of the better ones—a lot to say, never awkward silences (not that their silences were ever awkward.), and it was a beautiful day.

The car rushed over a bridge and Katara peered over it and glanced at the water below.

"Isn't it such a beautiful element?" she mused.

"What is?" Aang asked, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Water," Katara replied.

Aang smiled. "Oh, right, of course it is. It's my second favorite."

Katara turned to look at him with one eyebrow raised. "Second favorite? What's your first?"

"Air," Aang replied simply.

Katara laughed. "Of course, that explains so much."

Aang laughed in response. Suddenly he looked surprised and he then leaned forward in his seat and squinted his eyes.

"Anything wrong?" Katara asked.

Aang leaned back looking confused. "Does that look strange to you?"

Katara looked forward and saw a hummer on the opposite side of the road. It was zooming at full speed, with a determined looking woman inside. Her eyes were planted right on their car.

"What is she doing?" Katara asked, slightly nervous.

Aang looked panicked. "Katara, I don't think you should be in this car anymore."

Katara was confused. "Excuse me?"

Aang unlocked the doors and slowed down a bit, rolling up his windows. "Quick."

"You're kicking me out?" Katara's annoyance was triggered. "The car is still moving!"

Aang glanced nervously out his window at the hummer, still quite a distance away and quickly approaching. "Just trust me on this one."

"Aang, are you nervous that this woman will hit us?" Katara laughed. "Aang, don't be paranoid, she's in the opposite lane. She's probably just looking at this car because she's jealous. A lot of people do that you know."

"Katara!"

"Aang, seriously, don't panic!"

The hummer suddenly swerved out of its lane. The tires squealed and Katara barely had time to scream before the two vehicles collided. Both cars crashed into the gate of the bridge and the sound of the metal caving to the pressure was heard before the sensation of falling filled Katara's senses.

"Katara, no!"

Katara screamed as she heard her name. They jerked forward and she heard the sound of splashing. Katara jerked along with the car. It seemed to be rolling every which way and she couldn't interpret up or down anymore.

Everything was blurred in a rush of speed and adrenaline as Katara jerked forward yet again, colliding her head with the dashboard. She could hardly remember anything else before she passed out.

Author's Note: So, the Author's Note was longer than the actual story, but I couldn't extend the first chapter any more without senselessly babbling. I feel like I still do that at some parts, but I wanted to let the reader know what kind of world the kids are living in. I'm sorry I made them so old! I didn't want to make them that old, but I had to in order to make it legal for Aang to drive. Yes, he had to be the one driving. No, I don't know why. Maybe I'll figure it out later. I'm still kinda foggy on the plot, which is a bad idea for me since now I'm writing it, but it'll come to me. I just felt bad for casting my idea into the shadows for so long. Oh, and I was really at a crossroads because there was a triple tie in my pole for the name of the fanfic. They were all the good names that I was seriously considering, so the pole didn't exactly help. -.- I decided on Love Is Blind in the end, because... I dunno. I was going to do eeny-meeny-miny-mo (Or however the heck you spell it) but then I just decided on that title... YAYZ to everyone (the two people) who suggested that! ^^
