Note-This was written about a year ago (by yours truelly)was before I got to actually see the finale(but its after the death of the fire lord in this case). Please enjoy!(oh and PLEASE review,tell me what you think!)So now, on with the story!!
A bird's cry was heard in the distance of the red sunset filled sky. "So the fire lord has been defeated, we need to figure out where to go from here," Aang said with a sigh.
"Yeah I guess so," replied a young water bender that sat beside him. The two were seated upon a hill side basking in the last rays left of the day. Sokka, Toph, Appa and Momo had all already gone to bed, but Katara and Aang had both wandered to the hill where they were now talking. "It's beautiful isn't it?" Katara asked while staring up at the sky that seemed to surround them forever.
"Huh… what?" asked Aang immediately thinking of a certain someone.
"The sunset…what did you think I meant?" she asked the boy next to her with an odd look written across her face.
"Oh.. nothing important," responded Aang who looked down sadly at his feet mentally kicking himself for being such a coward. There was silence for a few moments before Aang finally said, "Umm… Katara, I know this guy, right, and well he likes this girl who's older than him and she just takes his breath away, but there are always these other guys, older than him, who she ends up liking; he has no idea what to do since he cant take rejection to well, but he fears if he doesn't tell her soon he'll lose her to some other guy, so what do you think he should do?" Aang asked nervously.
Katara, being as naïve as she is, had a confused look on her face while she tried to comprehend all that Aang had just said. She finally came to a verdict and said, "He should face his fears and just tell her what he thinks, 'cause by the sounds of it he has some competition…"
More silence passed until Aang came up with an idea, "hey Katara, do you like anyone?" he asked with out caring for the directness of this certain question.
"What! Uhh… no, why do you ask?" Katara answered a bit quickly while her face seemed to get redder and redder, the truth was yes, him, but the thought of telling him didn't seem like a wise option to take.
Aang, not noticing her face, but just focusing on her words, just looked down sadly," Well I asked because I think I like you, like…a lot!" he answered before he could stop to think of the possible outcomes of this decision. He quickly slapped his hands to his face to keep himself from making anymore decisions that he might regret later. Now they were both sitting in a silence that seemed to ebb away at Aang mind and heart. Aang sat there twirling a piece of grass with his thumb and forefinger, with a blazing red face thinking that he had just done something that made him worthy for the medal "biggest idiot ever". But Katara was still staring up at the sky confused by what she had just heard. Was she dreaming? This did happen a lot in her dreams… "Well I'm going to go back to camp then," Aang said sadly starting to get up from where he had been sitting.
"No, Aang, wait!" she cried out while jumping toward Aang once he had made it only a few feet from her. "I like you to," was all she said as she squished him with a hug, Aang was amazed, that seemed so out of the blue to him, he thought she hadn't liked him at all like that.
Slowly they both raised there heads (Aang had grow taller since before the defeat of the fire lord and now was Katara's height). They gazed into each others eyes oblivious of the world around them as by some force their faces were becoming closer and closer, until the gap between their lips disappeared.
"Well, well, well, looks like twinkle-toes and sweetness finally hooked up," Toph said from behind the two teens. Aang and Katara quickly jumped apart trying, and failing, to hide their kiss from Toph.
"Huh Toph when did you get here?" asked Aang.
"Oh you would be surprised how easy it is to sneak up on two people oblivious to the world that surrounds them, twinkle-toes." She replied with a sly grin.
"We were not-"Katara was cut off by Toph.
"Yeah, its okay I'm not against you two, I knew it would happen some day, you should just hope Sokka feels the same way," she said. "So I'm going to go back to camp and catch up on some sleep" Toph finished,' oh and don't stay up making out to long, what if Sokka saw you?" she said with a small chuckle before turning from the two and heading into the woods toward camp. Katara just stood there dumb founded while Aang shuffled his feet waiting for Toph to be clearly out of ear shot.
