A soft whisper entered into Aang's left ear. He was finally awaken but still kept his eyes shut as if he were still asleep.

"Aang…" Katara said softy.

Aang knew it was her, but just ignored her for a brief second just wanting to hear her voice again for the last time. He finally opened his eyes and saw that the night was clear and dark in the sky. The moon was showing and the wind was blowing lightly in his face. He was lying on the rocky ground still, thinking it was hours after he had battled Ozai. He turned his head slowly to his right side and saw Katara with tears gleaming from her eyes. She had small smile on her face; glad and knowing that he was alright. She pulled him closer to her and hugged him tightly. Aang did nothing but smile, glad that he was in her arms and tried to hug her back. The pain from his back was worse than before and he couldn't move much and tried to be careful from hurting himself.

"You don't have to say anything. Just rest." She said.

Aang chuckled and looked at Katara in her eyes. He lifted him self up to sit straight but leaned forwards to ease the pain. She put her fur watertribe coat over him and sat right across from him, face to face.

"We won now and the war is over." Katara stated delightful.

Aang's smiled vanished as he remembered what he had done to Ozai, and looked at the ground in disappointment. Katara knew something was wrong and hoped that Aang would not remember much for what happened before.

"Katara.." He said.

"No." She replied.

Aang's eyebrow rose. "What do you mean no?"

Katara glanced at the ground and started to fidget with a small brown rock. "I know what you're going to say, and I can't let you live you life ashamed that you finished him off. It was the right thing to do and there was nothing else that could be done."

"Taking someone's life isn't the right thing to do Katara. I could have spared him, or figured out another way to stop him instead of killing him." Aang argued.

"Aang, what could you have done to stop Ozai from trying to kill you? If you weren't in the Avatar State, you would have probably been finished back there." Katara said pointing to the spot were Aang and Ozai finished there last seconds of fighting. "I'm not trying to say it in a bad way, I'm trying to be real with you."

"She's right Aang." Toph said coming along with Sokka and Suki. "You could have died if your powers weren't enhanced.

"You don't know that!" Aang yelled angrily but tried to control his temper. "I could have at least tried to reason with him."

Zuko laughed thinking it was humorous. "Trust me, there was no way you could try to reason with my father. Ending his life was the right way to restore balance in the world."

"You guys really don't understand!" Aang said and stood up quickly from the floor. Katara tried to help but he refused and shook his arm away from her. "How would you feel if you killed somebody?"

Aang waited for an answer but silence covered the whole area. "That's what I thought. Zuko, do you know how I feel now knowing that I killed your father?"

Zuko didn't answer, not knowing what to say.

Aang continued his rampage towards the gang as they watched and listened. "Almost every one of us had lost somebody from someone else in a battle, but I'm counted as a murderer to people now."

"Aang you are not counted as one." Sokka said trying to reason but Aang lashed out.

"Then what am I counted as?! What am I known of now?! This goes against everything that the monks taught me!" He yelled back.

"Aang you need to take it easy." Katara said.

"No! You guys just don't see where I'm coming from. You don't know how I feel and there's no way running away from this! I didn't want to kill him and I could've stopped myself from doing the job, but I didn't! It was all a mistake, another one that I made."

Aang fell to the ground in pain, forgetting that his back was badly wounded. Katara ran over to him and led his softly to the ground.

"You're forgetting one thing Aang. What if you stopped yourself from killing him? He would of ended your life and how do you think that would have put the world through now?" Katara asked.

"Don't you know how that would have affected us to? Not just because of our friendship but because of our lives?" Zuko stated.

"Yea and if you didn't kill him Aang, all of us wouldn't be here right now with you to talk about this." Toph added.

Katara looked into Aang's eyes once more showing her emotion to him. "And you don't know what kind of pain losing you would put me through Aang. Me personally"

She watched him smile back and blush but still over what he had done just hours ago.

"Aang you did the right thing, even if it feels like the worst thing in the world." Suki said politely.

"You saved the whole world Aang, and that's what matters now." Toph said and kneeled down next to him. She punched his shoulder lightly in a friendly way and smiled.

"So what do we do now guys?" Aang said confused and feeling lost.

Everybody looked at the sky and was silent for a moment. The moon shined in their eyes and the view amazed everyone of how quiet it was after the war just ended hours ago.

"Well are you guys going to answer or not?" Toph asked impatiently

"We rebuild." Katara finally said and took Aang's and into hers.

The gang heard a fire nation ship coming along the way from the sea. They all looked over and stood up from the ground, Aang supporting his weight on Katara. He looked at her and smiled, watching as she smiled and watched her father step out of the ship. They all saw Hakoda and Iroh with him along with other watertribe soldiers waving from the firenation ship.

"It's finally time to go home." Zuko said smiling..

Minutes after being picked up from the crew, Aang and Katara were on board on the firenation ship in the bottom room. Everybody else rested including Zuko after being hit with lightning from Azula. Katara had not let go of her hand from Aang since they were outside discussing the argument.

"You know Aang I thought I lost you when you when you were struck from Ozai. I thought it was all over and for the first time, I didn't have hope at all." Katara mentioned and looked at the red cover on the bed.

Aang looked at the metal floor, having nothing to say.

"How did you survive the hit? I thought it was fatal. At least it looked fatal to me when I saw you falling." Katara asked.

Aang closed his eyes trying to remember what had happened, but nothing came to his memory. "I don't know. All I remembered was that you hugged me and one of your tears dropped to my back." Aang mumbled. "Nothing else."

Katara's face turned confused, wondering if her tear had done the healing job and making Aang better. Aang looked at her face, making him smile calmly and thought it was the best time to tell her how he felt.

"Katara, did I ever tell you thank you for saving me, and stopping me from ruining everything back there?" He asked

"Yes you did, and you don't have to say it twice." She answered and watched him closely

She smiled and put her right hand on his left cheek ad watched him lean closer to her. The twos toped as soon as they heard a loud bang against the door and saw Toph on the floor along with Suki and Sokka on the ground next to her. Katara got up from the bed and hopped to the floor thinking it was an intruder.

"I'm sorry, I thought this was my room." Toph said about to walk out but Aang airbended the door so it would shut.

"I'm pretty sure you can tell which room was yours Toph." Aang said laughing.

"What are you guys doing here anyways?" Katara asked while helping her broth of the ground.

"I lost my boomerang and I thought maybe it was in here." Sokka explained and limped himself towards Suki.

"Didn't you throw your boomerang to save us?" Toph asked.

Sokka covered Toph's mouth with his hands and pushed her out the door.

"We should be going now." Suki said and closed the door softly, leaving Aang and Katara alone again.

Katara looked slowly back at Aang who seemed happy that they were alone again. She bit her lip and slowly walked over to him again and sat on the bed. "I should be going too. You need some rest."

She leaned over and kissed Aang's forehead. She walked away to the door and opened it to exit her way out. She looked back once more and whispered, "Goodnight Avatar Aang."

She closed the door and left Aang alone in his bed. He sighed and looked at the firenation logo above his head. "Goodnight."
