Time for Day Two! I'm trying to catch up to the days so once I'm up to speed the updates will be day by day so enjoy. Doesn't have a specific time period but it could take place during the one year gap in the Promise.
I don't own Avatar, just the story.
Day Two: Best Friends
When Katara was young the favourite stories that her Gran Gran told her would be about the Avatar. She'd always dreamed that he'd return and save the world. She never thought that she'd be the one to find the long lost Avatar and aid him on his quest to master all four elements, let alone be his best friend and girlfriend. It's funny how some things work out.
In between the stories of the Avatar, her Gran Gran would tell her old fairy tales which mainly featured love stories and her Gran Gran would often give her advice as well, mainly how to deal with Sokka and his antics. Looking back now, Katara can remember one particular conversation that she had with her Gran Gran and only now does it ring true to her.
A nine-year-old Katara ran over to her Gran Gran after she'd been upset by another boy in the tribe.
"What's wrong, Katara?" Kanna asked.
"Kesuk keeps on making me a necklace and asking me to marry him," Katara answered.
Kanna chuckled. "I'm sure he just has a crush on you," she said.
Katara shook her head. "No. He says that he loves me and we're destined to be together. Neither of us are even old enough to get married. He's five years old and I'm nine! " she exclaimed.
"Like I said, the boy is only young and probably doesn't know a thing or two about love. Once you're older, you'll understand what it's like to be in love," Kanna said.
Katara sighed. "I guess you're right. I just hope he leaves me alone," she muttered before walking away.
"And Katara, here's a word of advice. The smartest thing that a girl can do is fall in love with her best friend," Kanna said.
In the present time, Katara was knocked out of her thoughts when she saw Aang running towards her.
"Hey, Katara. Wanna go penguin sliding?" he asked excitedly.
"Sure," she replied.
"What were you thinking about?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing important. Let's get going," she said.
As Katara went off with Aang, she couldn't help but realise just how true what her Gran Gran said was. She honestly couldn't have picked a better person to fall in love with instead of Aang, her best friend.
That's day two done and dusted. I wasn't sure where I was going with this at the start and I changed my mind a few times but I'm actually pretty okay with how it turned out.
