This is my attempt at a Book 4, for the Avatar series, I am going to do my best to keep it to Bryke's original but I do plan to add some twists and turns. I am only looking for constructive criticism

In this story I'll be shipping, Kataang, Maiko, Sukka, with some Tokka angst, and a surprise relationship for Toph.

This part of the story starts off where the series ended.

Hope you all enjoy!

Book 4 – Air

Prologue

They seemed to be travelling to the stars themselves, what was mere moments seemed like an eternity of heavenly bliss. He couldn't believe it, after all this time, after so much struggle, he had the most beautiful girl in the world kissing him.

From inside the Jasmine Dragon Toph smiled to herself and said under her breath "About time you two"

As they broke from their bliss he said with a coy tone.

"So I guess this means you're not confused anymore?"

Katara smiled "Well maybe just a little, come here" she grabbed him and gave him a passionate kiss. After the kiss she could tell it took him by surprise and she said while blushing "Not anymore Aang!" He couldn't believe his ears, it was the words he wanted to hear, but why now did it feel like there was a cabbage in his throat? He knew the answer, after waiting so long he knew now was the time to tell her.

"Katara, do you remember the last time we were here in Ba Sing Se?"

"Yes I remember"

Katara did her best not to bring tears to her eyes, this was where her love fell, where he died. Aang hadn't noticed any change in her so he continued looking sheepishly at the ground.

"Remember how I wanted to tell you something before I went to see Guru Pathik?"

It was starting to come back to her now, she remember hugging Appa and whispering to keep both Aang and Sokka safe, and then Aang approached her, but she couldn't remember much after that.

"I can remember that it was something important, am I right?" She said softly.

Aang nodded, he was going to have his chance, but he remember what happened back on Ember Island, would what he had to say scare her? Would it push her away? Was it too soon? More and more questions were filling his head, making it feel like it would explode. He looked back into her eyes, the eyes he saw when coming out of the Iceberg, the eyes that met him when he came back from the dead, everything melted away and he said without skipping a beat. "Katara, I love you" He did it, he was finally able to say the words, with no interruptions. Now he just hoped the reaction wasn't going to kill him.

She couldn't believe the words she just heard, and the reaction they had on her, her heart started to quicken, the blood in her veins seemed hotter, and tears started to form on her face, she knew the tears were of joy but could see that Aang was confused by their appearance. Afraid he might run off, she was able to stammer out "I...I love you too, Aang"

Not wanting to say any more, Aang grabbed her in a passionate embrace and kissed her with all the passion an Avatar could, he could feel her return the gesture but could also feel her melting in his arms.

Back inside the tea shop Toph smiled and said under her breath "Way to go Twinkle toes" This time though from across the room, Sokka looked up and saw Toph seeming to talk to herself. He was about to dismiss it completely, when he noticed her head was turned outward to the patio, and he remembered she was blind, he knew it must be about his little sister and Aang. To his shock however Appa had moved in front of the door way. He stood up from his painting, which he thought was better than anyone else could do and the bad comments were just out of jealousy, walked over to Toph and said "Enjoying the view?"

"Seriously how many times do I have to tell you I'm BLIND!" Sokka wasn't going to give in, "I know both Aang and Katara are outside and I know you can see them!" Toph said snickering, "Well if big brother is so concerned, why not go check on them?"

"I don't know, maybe because, there's a big fluffy flying bison in the way?" At his last comment Appa gave a small groan. "Hey I still love ya buddy, but there's no way I can move you" Appa responded with an approving snort.

From across the room Suki noticed Toph and Sokka talking and said to herself, "Great now what's up" she moved over beside them both and said "Hey guys what's up?"

Before Toph was even able to speak Sokka said in a slightly aggravated tone "She knows something about what's going on outside and she's not telling!" Fully expecting Suki to take his side her next words weren't the ones he wanted to hear:

"Well why don't you try and get past Appa, just because she can 'see' all the time doesn't mean we can use her all the time" Toph punched Suki in the arm and said:

"Thanks Suki"

"Don't mention it" Suki replied why rubbing her arm.

"Fine no one wants to help me, I'll just do this myself" Sokka made for the door, and did his best at trying to push Appa out of the way, "Come on Appa, move!" Appa merely pretend to snore. Sokka saw an opening closer to Appa's back where he could fit and climb up. Appa didn't protest. He was almost there. Finally, he made it with his head sticking out over Appa and started to look around. He started looking from the left and was panning to the right when he saw them, and they were....Sokka lost his grip on Appa and fell back into the teashop hitting his head on the floor.

"He's coming around guys"

He knew that voice, it was his sisters, "Wh...What happened?" Sokka said groggily

"You were spying on Katara and Aang remember?" Suki said

"And when you saw them you went as rigid as a boarcupine in the cold" Toph said between laughs.

Sokka finally had both eyes open only to see that he was lying down and everyone was on top of him including.... "YOU!!!" He bolted upright and grabbed Aang's shoulders and pushed him against a wall, "WHAT WERE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER!!!"

Everyone was amazed at how fast he moved, all except for Katara, "Oh would you just relax Sokka, you don't see me questioning Suki every time you two kiss, or go into each other's tents, or.."

Sokka cut her off angrily "That's not the same thing, you're my baby sister!"

Aang decided this was the best time to tell everyone, "Well I probably should've said something earlier..."

"No don't apologize Aang" Katara interrupted, "If you must know me and Aang are a couple now, that's right Sokka he's my boyfriend, so let him go!" she said it with such tone that Sokka immediately dropped Aang. She went next to Aang and put his arm around her and continued "So you better get used to it!" Right after finishing her sentence she kissed Aang.

"Aww young love" Iroh said from behind the group

"Yeah it's sickening isn't it" Toph said while punching Iroh's arm, both started to laugh, everyone joined in, including Aang and Katara, everyone except Sokka.

"Well keep it to kissing and I'll do my best not to overreact"

"Yeah, because you never do that!" Katara snapped back.

Sokka was about to say something but Suki grabbed him and kissed him quick then said, "I think it's sweet that he's just looking out for you, Katara"

"See! I'm not overreacting" Sokka said proudly.

"No you're still overreacting, but its ok, I still love you" Suki finished then kissed him again.

"All this emotion is gonna make me puke" Mai said in her low tone.

Zuko started to laugh and gave her a kiss, "You were just jealous is all."

"Maybe a little" Mai blushed.

"Well now that we're all back together, I hate to say it but we should get down to some business." Zuko started off. "We will be going back to the Fire Nation to start the rebuilding of the Earth Kingdom, in the mean time we have had reports of Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom rebellions, I was hoping that the rest of you could look into that for me"

"What will you want to do with the prisoners?" Aang questioned

"What do you think Uncle?" Zuko said while Iroh was pouring him some tea.

"What is it that you think would best for the Fire Nation?" Iroh said with a small smile.

"I knew you'd never give me a straight answer," Zuko said smiling, "Well we are on Earth Kingdom soil, I think that they should be held responsible for their crimes here, but if there are fire benders, I think it would be best to send them to the Boiling Rock"

"See, I knew you could do it." Mai said sarcastically "Of course you'd say that Mai." Zuko said hanging his head down.

Everyone laughed.

The sun was already rising and sun beams peaked through the curtains in Aang's room above the Jasmine Dragon, at first he thought that last night might've been a dream, but just as he was about to get up, he knew it wasn't. Lying next to him was Katara, he remembered that there was a shortage of rooms and people, and against Sokka's many attempts to split them up, he ended up sharing a room with her. Somehow asleep she looked even more beautiful then when awake. Aang bent over and started to give her soft kisses across her cheek. She giggled a bit, he pulled away in case he woke her, but she was still asleep. He went back to kissing her cheek, this time he moved back up and kissed around her ear lobe. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her smile, still sleeping. He started to move down to her neck but as he made it there, she let out a soft moan. She was waking up.

"Hey you," Aang said smiling.

"Hey back at you" Katara said her eyes still adjusting, "I was having the most wonderful dream," She looked at Aang to notice him blushing, "I wasn't dreaming was I? You were kissing me just now weren't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Aang said while grinning.

"Simple monk" Katara whispered out sarcastically, while pulling Aang up to her lips. This kiss was much like before except this time, she felt something warm and wet hit her lips, was this, his tongue? A part of her wanted to pull back immediately, but for some reason she didn't and opened her mouth and both their tongues collided, sending waves of new found pleasure through each others bodies. As soon as it started they pulled back quickly when there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, cut that out before you give Sokka a reason to kill you Twinkle toes"

They both knew who that was. "Now quit your affection and come down for breakfast"

"We're on our way, thanks Toph" Katara giggled

"Well at least it's good she came up" Aang added, "Otherwise I might've had to jump out the window"

They laughed, gave each other a kiss and went downstairs.

Everyone was seated around one big table, eating their breakfast, no one stopped when they came down hand in hand, well except for Sokka. He wasn't so much eating as shovelling food in his mouth, while Momo was trying to steal food from his plate. He stopped for a moment, but went back to eating. Aang could've sworn he gave them both a little smile.

It's was a new day and things seemed to be on the right track.

Halfway across the world, in a dark cell, arms and legs bound, where no sunlight could enter, and only old visions to keep her company. Azula swore that she would pay that water tribe bitch, and the Avatar.
