Ok, I put my IPod on shuffle and every song that plays, I'll type a chapter. So this first one is "Today Was a Fairytale" by Taylor Swift. There will be a new chapter and new song everyday. Please R&R these are oneshots based off of songs my IPod plays. Also, I have my own little world of LOK and in my little world, Tenzin and Lin do belong together so thats what this fanfic is mostly going to be about. Any type of review is welcome, but just tell me how I did and how I can improve.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the story or the songs I use.


Today Was a Fairytale

Tenzin looked at her, his eyes never leaving her approaching figure. He has had a massive crush on her ever since he was thirteen and she was twelve. He was now seventeen and that day was her sixteenth birthday. His parents invited the birthday girl and her mother over to have a small party with family.

He gulped down his nervousness as he saw the figure approach him. He took deep breaths as the person came and stopped in front of him, making him smile.

"Hello Lin. Happy birthday!" He said to her before bringing her into a hug, which she returned as she wrapped her arms around her friend.

"Thanks Airhead." She replied, making him chuckle. Lin raised an eyebrow. Whenever she called him that, he would usually cringe, but she shrugged it off when Bumi and Kya came running towards them.

"Hey Beifong. Happy birthday." Bumi yelled before he picked her up and spun her around, making Lin blush and Tenzin get jealous.

Kya stepped forward after Bumi put her down and hugged her, "Happy birthday."

"Thanks Kya and you too Bumi." Lin chuckled out as the three started walking towards the island, leaving Tenzin behind. He watched Lin walking away, admiring her outfit that her mother made her wear that day, a green dress that complemented her eyes with a wide white belt around her waist. Her coal black hair that went down her back like soft waves.

Today's the day. Today, I will ask Lin out and ask her to be my girlfriend. He thought to himself as he caught up with the trio, using his airbending to help him.


When the quartet enter the avatar's home, everyone crowded the birthday girl, wishing her a happy birthday, which made Tenzin smile. After the greetings, Lin was ushered into the living as Katara asked everyone to help set the table, making all the kids groan but obliged.

Tenzin looked at Lin one last time before he went to the dining room. Lin saw him and smiled, making Tenzin blush but return the smile.

When he went to the kitchen, Katara handed him a stack of plates, cups, and silverware for him to set the table. He went to the table and put the dishes down, putting a plate, utensils, and cups in every spot.

After the table was set, everyone sat down. Lin sat down next to Tenzin, making him blush. She smiled at him, making him blush harder but returned the smile. She chuckled and gave him a small push for his goofiness and served herself some food.

After everyone served themselves and said a prayer, they began eating. Katara and Aang were having a conversation with Toph, Sokka, Zuko, and Suki, leaving the kids to talk with each other. Lin ate in silence before she heard someone calling her name.

"Lin."

Lin perked her head up and saw that it was Katara who called her, "Yes aunt Katara?"

"Have you been enjoying your birthday so far?" Katara asked, using her chopsticks and picked up a clump of rice.

"It has been pretty good. Oh, look at what mom gave me." Lin said as she lifted the short sleeve off her bicep and showed everyone the meteorite bracelet Sokka had given Toph when they were younger.

Everyone oohed and aahed at the sight of the meteorite bracelet on the younger Beifong's arm.

"She earned it. She is my daughter after all." Toph finally spoke, stopping mid bite from taking a spoonful of soup.

After dinner, Katara presented a fruit pie with Lin's favorite fruit inside and everyone handed her their gifts: a book about the first earthbenders from Aang and Katara, a tradition water tribe parka for the winter from Sokka and Suki, a fire nation pants suit from Zuko, a crystal made from ice and water from Kya, a piece of rock from Bumi, and from Tenzin a necklace made from the finest earth kingdom jewels.

"Thank you everyone for the gifts. I loved everyone's gift." Lin said but looked at Bumi and shot dagger eyes, making the wild man laugh out.


When everyone went to the living room for games, talking, and more, Lin and Tenzin snuck out of the temple and headed towards the meditation pavillion.

On their walk, they saw a young couple along the beach with a toddler in hand, making both teenagers smile.

"Beautiful evening isn't it?" Lin asked, looking up at the sky, seeing the twinkling stars and the full moon casting it's beautiful light on the ocean.

"It is." Tenzin agreed.

But not as beautiful as you. He thought to himself as they continued walking. Just when they passed the couple, the little toddler escaped her mother's arms and toddled towards them.

Tenzin picked up the little girl and smiled. Her green eyes shining in the light. Lin saw the girl and smiled at her just as her parents came up to them.

"Good evening Tenzin, Miss Beifong. Thank you for stopping Pema go into the water." Pema's mother said, taking Pema from Tenzin.

He chuckled and said, "No problem. Enjoy your evening."

After that, Lin and Tenzin came to a cliff clearing. They looked at the sight and Tenzin dropped his hand down and made his way to Lin's hand. He slipped his between hers and laced their fingers together.

"You got something on your mind?" She asked him as they sat down.

"Well, yes I do. It's also another birthday gift." He stammered, trying to find the right words to say.

Get ahold of yourself. This is your chance. He mentally scolded himself as he cleared his throat.

"Lin. I love you. I've always loved you since I was thirteen. Your my best friend. I love you Lin Beifong. Will you go out with me and be my girlfriend?" He finally said, out of breath and twidling bis thumbs.

Lin at first was shocked. She couldn't believe that he loved her, just like she loved him. She momentarily turned her back towards him and calmed her beating heart.

She finally turned around and softly kissed his cheek.

"Yes. I will be your girlfriend. I too, love you Tenzin." She said, making him cup her cheeks and kissed her properly on the lips, an electric spark coming from the contact of their lips on each others.

Best birthday ever. Lin thought to herself as she melted into the kiss, putting her arms around his neck as his went around her waist.


Toph quickly ran back to the temple. After overhearing her daughter and the avatars son's conversation, she quickly raced back home.

"Twinkletoes, Snoozles, and Hothead, you all owe me fifty yuans. They finally confessed." She yelled into the house as she walked through the door.
