Warning! I do not own Avatar The Last Airbender! This purely for fun.
Alright so this is a story directly following the end of the war. I'm talking the week after Aang and Katara's kiss in the Jasmine Dragon. This story is not related to my other posted story The Legend of Korra. If you read on past this point you'll understand.
The story is set as Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Momo, and of course Appa head for the shores of the Fire Nation for some time away from the political meetings that the gang has been attending in Ba Sing Se. This is it for the summary as I want the story to explain itself.
Hope you enjoy :]
"Aang are you sure we should we should be doing this right now?" Katara asked as she finished changing the bandage's covering Zuko's entire chest and back. Zuko had grumbled the entire time, but had other's wise sat still through the treatment.
"I hate to agree with Sugar Queen, but she's right," Toph was sitting on the other side of Zuko in Appa's saddle across from Sokka who had been grumpy since leaving Suki in Ba Sing Se, "We're in the middle of rebuilding the four nations and you want to take a vacation. I'm as happy as anyone to get out of the city, but this doesn't seem like the right time."
"I know this seems odd to leave like this, but I'm tired of being cooped up and so is Appa," Aang scratched Appa's large head which he was sitting on, "Besides I thought that you of all people would understand Toph."
"Alright Twinkle Toes. I see your point," Toph settled back into the saddle holding onto Zuko's arm.
Toph still hadn't readjusted to flying on Appa after her sight had had an on and off again experience during her, Sokka, and Suki's attack on the airships. She was still having nightmares of that falling feeling when she had held onto Sokka believing their life was going to come to an end. She shuddered at the thought, but it went unnoticed by Zuko who was thinking of his own recent nightmares.
Zuko wasn't being haunted by falling dreams, but nightmares filled with blue lightning. In his nightmares Katara didn't save him and his life would end there on the battle field of his and Azula's final battle. He hadn't told anyone, not even Mai, but the others could sense something off about the young Fire Lord.
Katara moved to Appa's head to sit next to Aang, satisfied that her patient would be alright. Katara sat beside Aang and just looked over the ocean before slowly lacing her fingers with his. She avoided looking at him so he wouldn't see her blush, but Aang had one to match.
He still hardly believed that he and Katara were finally together. It seemed like everything was finally going well for all of them; Ozai was defeated, Azula was imprisoned, Zuko was Fire Lord, Aang was a fully realized Avatar, Toph had become King Bumi's apprentice and she was teaching him her metal bending, Katara had become Water Master of the Water Tribe and therefore the representative of the Water Tribe, Aang had of course become the lead Monk of the Air Nomads and therefore the representative of the Air Nomads, and Toph as King Bumi's apprentice was one of the now three representatives of the Earth Kingdom along with the returned Earth King and Bumi. Aang didn't think life could get any better for any of them.
Too bad Aang couldn't see the storm clouds hovering just over the horizon…
Cliff hanger! I know it's short, but I just wanted to do a quick introductory chapter. Depending on the reviews received I'll see how fast I'll update this, but it will be added to, eventually. Also I want to hear anyone's ideas for the story because I know where it will be going just for now, but I'd love to her people's ideas and add them in if I can! As always reviews are accepted and appreciated!
Thanks!
