Writer's note: this takes place after Yue had died and they had left the water-bending village.
(I don't own Avatar or the characters!)
Chapter 1 After they left the water-bending tribe, Aang decided to find somewhere safe to lay low for a while, and to learn water bending from Katara."Hey Katara, or should I say master Katara?" Aang laughed.
"Very funny," she laughed, then water bended water on top of Aang. Aang let go of Appa's reigns and water bended water on Katara. Both Aang and Katara were laughing.
"Hey cut that out you two your getting me wet!" Sokka yelled and threw his boomerang at Aang's head. But Aang quickly air bended it back at Sokka.
"Stop being such a scrooge, we're just having fun!" Katara said.
"SHUT UP!" Sokka screamed.
Then Katara walked over to Sokka to comfort him. "It's okay Sokka," She whispered. Sokka fell into his sister's arms and started to cry.
Aang landed Appa into a little patch in the woods were there was a big lake in the middle of them.
Aang felt sorry for Sokka, he wondered what it would be like to loose a love forever, knowing that he could never get it back. He thought of loosing Katara he shivered at the thought and decided he could never let anything or anyone harm Katara. He walked over to where Sokka and Katara were. He leaned down and told Sokka, "Everything is going to be okay, you'll see. After all you are with the Avatar."
Sokka quickly pulled away from Katara and wiped his eyes. "I'm not so sure about that." He sniffed. Sokka had a funny feeling inside of him that something bad was going to happen. "I think I am going to look for some food I am getting kind of hungry now that I think about it. Aang make sure that Katara stays safe while I am gone. I don't know what I would do if something where to happen to her."
Aang nodded "Of course I would never let anything happen to Katara." Then Sokka left to find some food. "Come on Katara lets set up camp." Momo jumped up on Aang's shoulder.
"Okay." She said. Katara felt kind of uncomfortable, she knew that both Sokka and Aang were acting over protective of her. But she also knew that Yue meant the world to her brother. So for now she would just let them be.
They set up camp and started to talk.
"So Aang when do you want to start training?" Katara asked.
"How about right now?" Aang smiled.
"Okay. Then lets go!"
They walked over to the lake together, both happy to be with each other. Katara was teaching Aang how to freeze water when they heard the fire nation boats approaching.
"Katara get back to camp now! Quick!"
"No Aang I am not leaving!"
"You have to I promised Sokka that I would keep you safe!"
"I can fend for myself Aang, don't worry."
Aang felt kind of uneasy about this but decided to let her stay. "Okay." He said. Assuring himself that she would be okay.
