What happens in a life time: Chapter 1 What I've Been Waiting For

I willed my self to do something I've been wanting to do for the past year. As I looked into those soft gray eyes, I finally made my choice. As my lips touched his, I knew for sure that I loved him. At fist he seemed shock, which worried me, but soon enough, he was melting into the kiss. When we finally parted, all I could see was him and all I could hear was the beating of my heart. I knew it was time to admit my love for him. "Aang, I love you. I'm sorry it took so long for me to relies this but now I know I have always loved you and I always will" The biggest smile spread across his face. What he said made me want to kiss him again.

"I've always loved you Katara, and I always will." Our moment was interrupted by a slow, but loud, clapping. I looked over to see Mai, standing there clapping, Sokka, shock on his face, and Suki, with a smile almost as big as Aang's. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks and knew Aang was blushing as well.

"How romantic." Mai said dully.

When Soka finally came back to reality, he just went off. "What the…. How long…. I had no idea. Why did no one tell me. Aang, I'm gona kill you!" Mai reached out to grab him just as he got ready to launch himself at Aang. She sighed, as usual. On the other hand, Aang was looking terrified.

I don't know why, but I just started to laugh uncontrollably. " Sokka…. Kill….. Avatar….", was all I managed to choke out between laughing and breathing hard. When Suki finally got what I said, she joined me in laughing. After we had all calmed down, well except for Sokka, we noticed Zuko looking at us like we were crazy. "What, it was funny."

"Katara, that's the understatement of the century." That just stared up a whole new round of laughing. We were suddenly interrupted by Sokka's battle cry. At this point, he was already on top of Aang. He was so surprised by the attack, he didn't react for a moment. Oh, no. Was all I was thinking. This can't be good. While I was thinking about what would happen if Aang didn't snap out of it, I realize Sokka had got a couple punches in at Aang's face and chest.

"Does any body what some…." Iroh stopped when he saw what was happening. Together him and Zuko had managed to get Soka off Aang and were working on getting him to his room and talking some sense into him. During all of this, I hadn't moved and either had Suki. Toph was rolling on the floor laughing.

I looked at Aang and, finding him uncurious, called for Suki to help me move him to my room for a healing session. We had no trouble carrying Aang up three flights of stairs, due to the face he was so light. Once in my room, Suki and I started talking as I healed. "Soooooooo, How long have you two been dating" Of course she asks.

"Really, we just told each other how we felt after the kiss." Suki couldn't mangle the shock on her face.

"Wow, really. It seemed like you guys were together."

"Nope." At that point Aang was beginning to wake up. Time to end that conversation . "Hey Aang, How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. I think I have a couple of broken ribs, though." He replied.

"Great. Ok, show me where." When he pointed, I got to work. When I started, he pasted out, again. "Suki, do you think Sokka will be ok?" I looked over to her, awaiting an answer.

"Well maybe. He seemed pretty angry. I think he thought you guys were keeping a secret, that's probably what upset him the most." That was true, and I knew it.

,"Well, can you go over there and see how he's doing?" She got up, said good-bye, and left me alone to heal Aang. Soon after Suki left, I heard Aang talking in his sleep.

"Katara, I love you….. No not Zuko. You can't love him, you love me. Nooooooooo!" He started thrashing around. I was shaking him, trying to wake him up. Finally, his eyes opened. He looked up at me and asked, "I wasn't dreaming. You love me right?" I looked into his eyes and smiled.

"Of course I love you, Aang. Now that your feeling better, lets go check on Sokka."

"Are you sure that's a good idea. I mean last time he saw me, he knocked me out." He honestly looked terrified. Of my brother.

"Yeah, well this time im prepared. There are a lot of people there prepared to stop him if he tries to hurt you. He wouldn't dare." That seemed to calm him down a little. We set out to Sokka's room a moment later, awaiting what would come next.
