Katara closed her laptop. She was sitting in her bed, and trying to figure out what her friends would like to have for snacks and games. Ofcourse, the best ones, she pressumes. She had already thought of the music, and the decorations- which were the spare ones of last year's. Though, she had to keep balance: Too scary and it will freak Aang and Sokka out, not scary enough, Toph will make it the scariest.

She decided to wear an angel costume, this year. The old neko (cat-woman-ish) one was all scruffed up and too small for her now, anyway. She knew it wasn't quite original, but that's what you get for shopping at Walmart.

She went to her shelf and opened it. It had a double-floor, which no-one else but her knew was there. She took it off, and found her Diary, where it has always been. She grabbed it, and went to page number 106 (Yes, she has wrote quite alot), and wrote down the supplies.

A few minutes later, Katara finished writing, and closed her Diary. And almost put it back. But she opened it again, from earlier pages, and blushed. She had a crush; Aang. Half of the pages had her ranting or writing down her worst and best grades in school, but the other half had Aang's activites, personality and other stalker-girl things written on. Also, some of her and Aang's pictures were glued onto the pages, such as the ones she took when her and her friends were at the beach, and Sokka had Ice Cream spread all over his hair and face, from chasing Aang, for hitting him with a beachball in the first place. Oh, memories.

There were also sketches of hearts and butterflies, when the 'topic' was about him. Wow, what a stalker she was, huh? It even surprised her.

He's so cute, sweet, funny, kind, friendly,... she carried on in her head, as she blushed madly. She had a crush on him ever since kindergarden.

-Flashback-

A young girl was playing in a sandbox, on a sunny day. She built sand- castles and stars on the sand, preteding as if they were real castles on a beach. Suddenly, someone sneezed behind her. She yelped and turned around to see a short, young boy with black hair, rubbing his nose.

"Sowwy, youw haiw was too fuzzy...," the boy said. She was speechless, for a minute. "Why were you behind m-me?" she stumbled, a little angry. "Oh! Ehh... Well, I was just admiwing youw sand-sculptuwes. They look weally nice," She noticed that the boy was missing a tooth, so he couldn't pronounce 'r' correctly. He blushed and scratched the back of his neck. She blushed, too, "Thanks...No-one has ever said that, before," she said.

They smiled at eachother. "Can I join you?" the boys asked. She nodded, he jumped next to her, and started making figures next to her sand-seashells. She looked closely. Birds, he was making figures of birds, flying around the sandbox. "Wow! That's so cool!" she said, in awe. He smiled at her, and she saw his grey eyes, melting into her blue ones. She felt something twist in her stomach. She yelped in surprise, and put her hand on her stomach.

"What's wwong?" the boy asked, concerned. She squeezed her eyes shut, as she felt the feeling getting 'worse'. The boy put his hand on hers, trying to comfort her. "Awe you okay?" he asked. She looked at him, again, this time, the feeling she had before suddenly felt good. She smiled and nodded. He grinned widely, and the feeling got 'better'.

"My name's Aang," the boy said. "I'm Katara," the girl said. They smiled. "Wanna get married when we grow up?" the girl asked. "Ofcouwse!" the boy answered, exclaimed. She placed a kiss on his cheek. They laughed.

-End of Flashback-

Katara blushed and smiled at the memory. She wanted Aang so badly, but had never gotten a chance to tell him how she truly feels. She had only spoken about it to Suki, Mai and Toph, once- at a girl's night sleepover. The girls promised to keep her secret, until Aang found it out. They knew she needed time. Also, they thought it was more of a child-crush, since the sleepover happened when they were all about 6 years of age. It was surprising how they all knew the true meaning of love.

But now that Katara was fourteen, she felt like the time has come. If she wont express herself soon, Aang might never know and find another girl- which she was afraid of to happen. She had no idea if Aang liked her back or not, or wanted them to be just friends or think about them for years to come.

Suddenly, her phone rang on her bad. She answered it.

"Hello?" she asked. "Hey, Katara! It's me, Aang." The voice said. She tensed and blushed a little. 'Wow, I feel like my cheeks are going to burn off! Ugh, Katara, get yourself together, girl!' she yelled at herself in her head.

"...Ummm, Katara, you there?" the voice asked after an awkward silence. "Oh! Yes-yes! I'm here allright!" she snapped out of her trance. "So, what's up?" she asked. "Well, it's about the party this Saturday..." he started. "I don't know if I can come..," she frowned. "But, you said you're going to be there, right? It wont the same without you," she said, and then realized she might have gone too far. She heard Aang make a hiccup-like sound, as if he were a little amazed. She blushed, all over again.

"Uhh... Thanks... I guess I'm coming, then," he said, his voice shaky. She started to wonder, why did he say that he was unsure, anyway? Was there something else he had to do? Was he going somewhere? Or was he just trying to avoid her? She felt sad all of a sudden.

"Hehe, like I said, I bet it's going to be fun! See you tommorrow, Kat!" Aang said, cheerfully. She felt happier, now that she heard his voice being more certain. "Bye, Aang," she said.

Katara hung up and put her phone back on the bed. She sighed happily and started packing her things for the next day. It was Friday tommorrow, the day before their first school-vacation. Everyone was excited, since they all pretty much hated school.

After packing, she dressed into her night clothes, shouted Sokka and her father 'Goodnight' and went to bed. Her dreams were fluffy, and filled with kisses from a certain person.

-The next day-

Katara had reached her locker, and started changing her books. She had very few subjects today; Maths, English Literature, Geography, P.E and Music. The shortest day of the week. There was a loud thud on her locker's door, and she squealed in horror.

"Yo, Sugar Queen. Gotcha again, ah?" a girl said, standind her arms crossed and with a big grin on her face. "Will you ever change, Toph?" Katara asked, as she calmed down. "Nope!" Toph said teasingly. She relaxed herself on other lockers, resting her back and head. Katara was still packing- to keep herself distracted from her jokes or remarks. She really didn't need to hear them, now.

"So, Kat, I wanted to ask you something," Toph started. "Sure, what is it?" she asked. "Can I bring scary movies? Like, 'Saw' or 'Friday 13th'? Seriously, there is no Halloween party without a nice 'ole scary movie!" she asked, excitedly. "Eumm... You actually have those movies? Wow... Ummm... I don't know..," she mumbled. "Aww, are you scared?" Toph teased. Katara frowned. "Oh! It's not you, is it? You're scared that Aang's gonna be scared, aaaah?" she continued to tease. Katara frowned again and blushed. "Toph, cut it out! Fine, bring the scariest one you have," she said, a little regretingly. Toph grinned in victory.

A few minutes passed by, and they met up with the rest, well, almost all the rest.

"Does anyone know where Aang is?" Katara asked, worriedly. The class was about to start, and there was no sign of him.

"That's strange, Twinkle Toes is never late, especially to school. I wonder what's holding him back," Toph wondered, out loud. Everyone gave glances at eachother, and at the worried blue-eyed girl, who was staring at the closed front door. "Maybe he's sick? Anything could happen, c'mon." Sokka offered. "I guess," Katara said, quietly, and started walking towards their class.

Hours passed and Aang still didn't show up. Everyone started getting a little worried, especially after the P.E lesson, since Aang didn't pick up his phone fifteen times. "Well, I guess he is sick, then," Suki said, when they were sitting in the cafeteria, eating snacks. Everyone nodded.

It was quiet without Aang. He was the one who started the topic with pretty much everything. For slurping his drink too far that it started pouring out of his nose, and he coffed and fell to the floor, laughing. Or when he started mocking what other people (mostly Gossip-girls) were chatting at a nearby table, making everyone have laughing-cramps. He could really cheer anyone, at any time.

Katara sighed sadly. She looked around the table once again; Zuko and Mai have cuddled up and Zuko was drinking coke, Suki was resting her head on Sokka's shoulder, while he stared at the ceiling, and Toph was playing with her old toy-coins, which she and Aang used to play together all the time. All of their expressions were the same- depressed. Katara wanted Aang by her side so badly right now, and look into his grey eyes and laugh with him and her friends, that she felt her eyes tearing up a little. She tried her best to hold them.

Suddenly, Katara's phone rang from her schoolbag. She perked up and quickly took it. She noticed the number, and had the biggest smile ever. Sokka noticed that, and asked, "Who is it?". Katara bearly heard him, "It's Aang!" she answered excited. Too excited. Everyone turned their gaze to her, and smiled in surprise. Katara answered her phone.

"Hello?" she said, "Hey Katara, it's Aang," the voice said, a little sad. Katara could feel her heart beat stronger and happier now that she heard his voice. "Where are you? We've been worried sick!" Katara snapped, acting like a mother. "Oh! Uhhh, I've been at home, s-sorry," he answered, a little surprised by her 'worry'. "Why?" Katara asked. "Well, ummm, I don't feel quite allright-" "Oh my gosh! Are you okay? Are you ill? Are you in one piece? Do you want me- I mean, us, to come over?" she panicked. "Katara, calm down," Aang chuckled, "It's okay, I think I just felt a little dizzy in the morning." He reassured her. Katara felt relieved, but still a little sad that Aang wasn't sitting next to her. "But, why didn't you pick up? We called you like fifteen times," she asked. "'We'?" Toph snickered. "How many Kataras are here that she calls herself 'we'?" she laughed. Katara glared at her and blushed, but then waited for Aang's answer. "Well, I uhh... I couldn't find my phone. It was under my bed, for some, uhh, strange reason," he said. Katara wasn't very convinced, "Oh..." she said, doubfully. She was really starting to think that Aang was lying to her, and to everyone else. "But, I will be at the party tommorrow, for sure! So, don't worry," he said, a little more happier than before.

Katara smiled, "Promise?" she asked. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye," he responded. She laughed, that was the 'promise' he always gave, ever since the first grade. They all called it 'Aangie-Swear'. She heard him laugh from the phone, too. "Well, I guess I'll see you then?" "Mmhmm," "But! If you need anything, just call me, okay?" Katara reassured him. He chuckled. "Okay, okay , Katara," he agreed, "Tell everyone I said hi! Cya," he finished. "Bye, Aang," she said, dreamily, and hung up here phone. She put it back in her bag, smiled widely and then looked back at everyone. They all were staring at her. She got confused and shrugged, "...What?"
