I have absolutely nothing to do with ATLA

You Can Guard My Life Anytime.

Katara loved this time of year when the sun was bright and the water was warm. She worked as a lifeguard at one of the most popular beaches on Ember Island which attracted teens from all over the world who were on summer break. She was also able to get some time on the waves. She was one of the best surfers on the island, using the time before the beach opened to get in almost two hours of practice every morning. Being a waterbender, she always felt so connected to the water, almost like it was a part of her.

As she was surfing a red and yellow Jeep pulled up, a tall guy with black hair climbed out, pulled an orange surfboard off the top of the Jeep and carried it the beach. Katara was watching him; she has worked as a lifeguard on Ember Island every year for the past four years, since she was 16. The guy set his surfboard down and pulled of his hoodie and sweatpants, to her surprise, he had Blue tattoos down his limbs and an arrow on his forehead. She had never seen him before.

Aang had just completed almost all of his Avatar training and managed to schedule some time to join all the other teens on Ember Island. Aang was eighteen; he was always so busy with "Avatar" stuff that he never got to be a teen like everyone else. This was his next stop on his quest to find the best waves on the island. Aang had parked his faithful Jeep, Appa, and jumped out, grabbing his surfboard and heading towards the waves. He set his board down and pulled off his outer ware, revealing his board shorts underneath. He picked up his board again and started walking toward the waves, he noticed a girl in a red bathing suit surfing, he watched her for a few minuets, she was awesome; he had never seen someone surf that well. He felt a strange urge to show off his talents. He ran into the ocean, surfboard in hand as soon as he reached knee deep he jumped onto his board and started paddling towards the waves. A huge wave picked him up and he was just so awesome... or at least that's what he thought.

Katara watched this newcomer paddle out to the waves, he caught the next incoming wave, he looked good, smoothly maneuvering into the curl he was just plain awesome. That was until the wave started to break and came down around him. Aang was too concerned about showing off for this surfer chick that he didn't notice the wave coming down around himself. Katara immediately went to his rescue. She grabbed him and pulled him to shore, he wasn't breathing so she pulled the water from his lungs with waterbending. As soon as the water came out he started coughing, she helped him sit up, "You wiped out pretty bad back there, I think you will be ok though." She told him.

He opened his eyes and saw the most beautiful young woman he had ever seen, he had no clue what came over him but he couldn't help himself. "Are you a Spirit? You are too beautiful to be a person."

Katara smiled and laughed, "Yeah, you will be just fine."

"I'm Aang! What's your name?" He asked now sitting up on his own.

'My name is Katara. Good thing for you I'm a Lifeguard." She said.

"You can guard my life anytime." Aang said.

The End
