A/N This is a fanfic that I wrote originally in script style, then converted it to past tense, then converted it to present tense so sorry if there are like any messed up typos/ grammatic errors, i attempted to fix them. I also want you to realize that this is a little less serious than some of the fics i am writing. If you don't like it, chances are it has to do with the fact that I had a lot of trouble writing it! It may or not be zutara...you'll have to see!
It is a warm afternoon, and everyone was hanging out. Toph and Aang just finished with an earthbending lesson and Sokka is done collecting dinner, his basket over-flowing with fish. They are playing a game of elements when they realize that Katara is no where to be found.
"Where's Katara?" Aang asks suddenly. Anger is in his voice. He didn't feel angry over little things normally, but this was too much for him to handle. It had been almost three weeks after he had kissed Katara, and she had never thought to bring it up. Sure, after the kiss they lost a huge invasion so naturally she wouldn't bring it up right then, but three weeks?
"I don't know," Toph and Sokka reply at the same time. They look at each other and sigh.
After a few minutes of silence, Sokka comes to a realization. "Toph! You can feel people through your earthbending! You can just feel where she is! Why didn't you think of this before? This is the only reason why its good that your blind!"
Toph, a little offended, shouts back, imitating his excitement. "No Sokka! I can't because she's too far away!"
"Oh. Right. Sorry."
Aang ends an awkward silence. "Why do you think she's so far away? Wouldn't she tell us if she was going somewhere?"
"She has been acting a little absent lately." Toph adds. They pondered this for a few minutes and then went back to their game.
Katara comes back, late at night. She carefully slipps through the campsite, trying to not make a sound. Unfortunately for her, the rest of the gang is all waiting outside her tent. They look mad.
"Hey." Katara starts. She knew they were wondering what she was up to.
"Where have you been?" Sokka shouts.
"Sorry…I was just…" Katara begins. She knew that they would be mad but hoped they would be a little understanding.
"Just what?" Aang gets real close to her, right up in her face. She takes a step back. Ever since they shared the kiss, it had been very awkward for her to be around him.
"just…" she begins again.
"Just….being you? Toph finishes her sentence.
"Hold up…what is that suppose to mean?" Katara now is getting annoyed.
Toph explains. "I don't know…you are always disappearing and ditching out on the group lately"
Katara thinks about the statement? Had she been ditching them? She did go away quite often now. "I'm sorry I just.."
This time Sokka finishes her sentence. "Stopped caring?" he suggests.
That's it! Why were they all so mad at her? "WHAT? What is this about? Have I done something in particular to piss you all off?" she askes.
They realize were being a little harsh and paranoid, and all at once state "No…I guess not…sorry…"
And Toph continues. "It's just…"
"Just what?" Katara askes. She is honestly curious of what they have one their minds.
They look at each other and Sokka continues. "We feel you have been putting something in front of us…and we want to know what…"
"And you've all decided this" Katara asked looking at each one of them as they nod.
Katara looks away and blushes. She knows exactly what she's been up to lately. But states, "Well…your wrong…there's nothing in the world I would try and pull over on you guys!"
"Good." Aang states simply, still unconvinced. Toph can feel her lying, but decides not to say anything and instead nods.
