(A/N) Hello there again. So here I am with the second chapter of The Dance. I want to thank everyone who reviewed. Most of you said that Katara liked Aang a bit too early into the story. Well, he's a likable guy. Plus, if you believe in love at first sight, you'll know what I mean. And don't criticize me if I get the romantic stuff wrong. I've never been in a relationship before. Well, I was in a relationship. For like 5 hours though. My friend made me break up with the guy. Anyway, this takes place after the dance. The next day to be precise. Also I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTES! I hate it when people ask me stuff and I give the answer in the note.

I still have a bit of a writers block and I have fixed some awkward mistakes in the first chapter.

It was the day after the dance. Katara was in the kitchen baking cookies. Her hair was done up in a messy French braid and she was wearing a blue sweater and jeans.

She was about to take the cookies out of the oven when she heard someone come down the stairs.

"I smell cookies!" It was Sokka. Of course. She should have known.

As Sokka came into the kitchen at lightning speed, he tripped over the leg of the chair that was in the dining room and fell. As soon as he was down, he was up again.

"I meant to do that!" he stated.

"Of course Sokka," Katara said as she rolled her eyes.

"So why are you making cookies?" Sokka asked. "You only make cookies for a special occasion. Has someone died? Is it your birthday? Is it dad's birthday?"

"Sokka calm down," his sister sighed. "These cookies are for Aang. I figured since he just moved in, we should make him feel welcome."

"Is Aang that kid that I met last night?" Sokka asked.

"Yes, he is," Katara stated.

"Well," said Sokka, "can I at least have some cookies?"

"No," Katara said bluntly.

"Two?"

"No."

"How about one?" Sokka tried again.

"Sokka, you're not even going to get a crumb of one of these cookies," said Katara. "Now, call Toph over or something so you guys can play video games and eat junk and what not."

"Fine," Sokka grumpily stated as he walked off mumbling something about cookies and grumpy sisters.

"He'll never learn, will he?" Katara asked herself.

She pulled the last batch of cookies, put them on a paper plate, put a paper towel over them, and walked out the front door.

She didn't have to walk far. After all, Aang only lived a house away. When she got to the front door of his house, she knocked and an old man answered the door.

"Well hello," he said.

"Hello," Katara greeted. "Is Aang home?"

"Ahhh, yes," the man said. "Aang. There is someone here to see you."

Right after he said that, Aang came bounding down the stairs. Along side him was a giant Saint Bernard. The dog was a whitish color with light brown/gray markings on him.

"Oh," Aang said as he saw who was at the door. "Hi Katara."

"Hi Aang," Katara called to him.

Aang turned to his guardian. "It's ok Gyatso. I have this."

With that, Gyatso left for the living room, leaving Aang and Katara in the entry way.

"What do you have under there?" Aang asked as he pointed to the plate Katara was holding.

"Oh," Katara exclaimed, "I baked some cookies for you. As a nice gesture and to welcome you to the neighborhood."

"Well, thanks," Aang said. "Would you like to come in so we can talk?"

"I would love to," Katara answered.

The dog barked once then settled himself on the rug in the living room. Katara stared at the dog for a second. Aang noticed this after some time of having her stare at the dog.

"Oh, that's Appa," Aang exclaimed. "He's very friendly. I got him when I was six at a pet shelter. He was abused by his previous owner."

Katara visibly relaxed. "Ok. He's just so big I thought he would bite or something."

"Oh, no. Gyatso wouldn't allow a dog in the house if he bit every single person he came in contact with," said Aang.

"Ok," Katara sighed as she went into the living room and set down the cookies on the coffee table in front of the couch. Aang sat next to her.

"I also have a cat named Momo," Aang said. "He's a Siamese cat."

Katara giggled. "You sure do have some weird animals."

"Well, I like animals," he explained. "That's why I'm a vegetarian.'

"Oh, I didn't know that," Katara said. "Now I know not to make anything that has meat in it when I bring food to your house."

They both laughed at the joke. Just then, a cat came into the living room. It jumped up onto Aang's lap and sat down.

"Katara," Aang said, "this is Momo."

Katara looked at the cat for a second, not sue what to do.

"Want to pet him?" Aang asked.

Katara looked hesitant for a moment but nodded. She reached a hand over to the cat and slowly stoked its back. Momo purred.

"I think he likes you," Aang said.

Just then, Katara cell phone rang making Momo stop purring and jump off of Aang's lap. Katara looked at her phone to see that her brother was calling her.

"I have to go," Katara sighed. "My brother's calling me. Must be a food related emergency."

Katara put the phone on mute ignoring Sokka's call and got up off the couch.

"Ok," Aang sadly remarked. "I guess I'll see you Monday then."

"You will," said Katara. "Bye."

"See ya."

Katara walked back to her house. She had a good short talk with Aang. It was pleasant. As she walked in the house, Katara heard the TV on in the family room. When she listened more closely, she could hear that it was a video game that was on. Katara walked into the room to see Sokka and Toph sitting on the couch playing a video game like she predicted.

"Hi Toph," Katara greeted.

"Hey Sugar Queen," Toph said, her foggy eyes not leaving the TV screen.

"Toph, I don't know how you can play video games. You're blind for crying out loud!" Katara exclaimed.

"It's a talent Sweetness," Toph answered. Just then, the screen showed black and then a mechanical voice said "GAME OVER! The Blind Bandit wins!"

"Yes!" Toph shouted.

"No!" Sokka wined. "You always win Toph!"

"Stop your wining Snoozles," Toph stated. "You should be used to me winning by now."

Katara laughed at her brothers pouting face. "So, why did you call me Sokka? I was just at Aang's house having a nice conversation when you interrupted us."

Sokka was about to answer when Toph interrupted him. "Wait. You're friends with Aang?" she asked.

"Yeah," Katara answered slowly. "What about him."

"Nothing at all," Toph said. "It's just… he's so shy that no one can talk to him. Not very keen on making friends. When did you meet him?"

"I met him at the dance last night," said Katara. "Someone pushed me over and I fell. Aang was kind enough to help me up when no one else would."

"Oh," Toph exclaimed. "Ok."

"Anyway, back on track," Katara shifted her attention from her friend to her brother. "Why did you call me?"

"Oh! Yeah," Sokka said. "I called you here because I was hungry."

Katara sighed. "Couldn't you have made yourself lunch?"

"I was too lazy to get up and I was playing video games with Toph at the time."

Katara rolled her eyes. "Ok. I guess I'll make you a turkey and beef sandwich."

"Make that two!" Toph yelled as Katara walked into the kitchen. She just rolled her eyes and went to work.
