Okey I'm back with another one shot Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So this one has been in my head for a long time so I have to write this down. Okay all you really need to know for this one is that it happens post war, (lets say Toph and Aang are 19; Katara is 21; and Sokka is 22) and Aang and Katara have been dating since the end of the war and Sokka and Toph have been dating for about two years in this (yes there is Tokka but it's really slight), and that's all I'm telling you now...actually the title really should give it away...anyways happy reading

Do I really have to say it (lawyer nods)...Fine

I don't own Avatar, but if I did Katara and Aang would be together AND AANG WOULDN'T HAVE SHAVED HIS HEAD

i miss his hair (sniffle)

The Proposal

The Gang had just gotten off of Appa to rest for the night. They had just stopped for about two weeks to visit Katara and Sokka's family in the South Pole and the group was now heading twoards an important confrence in Ba Sing Se. Katara had noticed that ever since the group's visit to the South Pole, Aang had been acting strange. He became very figitey around her and blushed when she would simply look at him. Sometimes he would wonder off by himself and not return for hours. Needless to say Katara was starting to get worried about him, so she decided that she would try to figure out what was wrong. Katara casually strolled over to Aang who was sitting on the ground and lighting a fire. Katara sat down next to him and said

"Hey Aang," with a small smile on her face. Aang turned to look at her but quickly looked away with a blush rising on his cheeks.

"Oh hey Katara," he responded nervously as he began twitling his fingers, "So what's up?" he asked while looking into the campfire.

"Um... Aang, I'm starting to get worried about you, you've been acting strangely around me lately, did I do something to hurt you?" Katara asked. Aang looked up at her again, he looked some what shocked.

"Of course you didn't do anything that hurt me," he looked some what saddened at what she said.

"Then whats wrong Aang?" she gently said as she cupped his face in her hands, "I've been really worried about you."

"You don't need to be worried Katara, everything is fine," he said with a small smile on his face as a blush began to form on his cheeks. Katara let out a small sigh,

"If you say so," she said not completely believeing his statement, "but if you ever want to talk about something I'm always here for you." Aang quickly pulled her in for a hug, which startled Katara, but then she started to hug him back.

"Thank you Katara, that means so much to me," Aang whispered in her ear. A small smile formed on the waterbender's face as she held her boyfriend close to her. After a few minutes they pulled apart when they heard the sound of Toph and Sokka returning from a near by village with food and other traveling supplies. Sokka was the first to plop down by the campfire, unbeknownced to Katara he stole a quick glance at the necklace dangling around her neck, it was the same one she had always worn. Sokka sighed just as Toph plopped on the ground next to him,

"Toph and Sokka reporting with food," Toph said loudly as she tipped over a basket causing a bunch of fruit to spill out. Toph and Katara started grabbing fruit and munching on it while throwing a few pieces to Appa, while Sokka totally ignored the fruit's existance and went straight for the meat. Aang however grabbed one mango ate it quicklya and got up. Momo quickly abandoned the piece of fruit he was eating and climbed on Aang's shoulder. Aang started to walk into the forest, as he was walking away he yelled behind him,

"I'm going for a walk, I'll see you guys in a bit."

"Aang maybe you should eat a little more, you haven't been eating much lately," Katara called after him.

"Nah it's okay I'm not that hungry," he said while sticking his hands into his pockets.

"Well maybe I should go with you," Katara said walking over to him so her brother and Toph could no longer hear their conversation, "we could get a little alone time," she said in a rather seducive tone. Aang blushed really hard at the last statement, and seemed to be considering this option, but in the end he said,

"It's okay I'll just go by myself," he said smiling to reassure her that he was okay. She sighed,

"Okay if your sure," she said softly as she watched him disappear into the dark forest. "I have to follow him." Katara decided, she started to go after him but then realized that she had to think up of something to tell Toph and Sokka, she went back over to the two who were chating about some random topic,

"Hey guys," Katara had caught Sokka and Toph attention, "I saw a river as we were flying over, I'm going to go practice some waterbending." Sokka and Toph just nodded and went back to their conversation and Katara ran off in the direction Aang left in. Katara ran as fast as she could to try and keep up with Aang, but she also had to be sure that he couldn't see her, atleast not yet. Soon she reached the end of the forest where the landscape and became a large feild of grass. Katara remained at the edge of the forest behind a large log, luckliy for her Aang didn't wonder off too far from the forest's edge. She watched her boyfriend walk slowly through the grass, which reached almost up his knees. She smiled to herself as she realized how much he had grown since she found him in the iceburg. He now had nice lean mucles, probably from so much training. He had also gotten a lot taller, almost 4 inches taller than her now, and to be honest he was really handsome. She started to blush at her thoughts and decided to get back to her mission. Katara figured that if Aang wouldn't tell her what was bothering him, then maybe he would tell Momo. From the looks of it she was right Aang looked to be talking to Momo, she began to listen in on the conversation.

"Hey Momo thank you so much for helppin me these past few weeks, it means a lot buddy," Aang said as he stroked Momo's head. Momo let out some random chatter in response, "So I finally finished the necklace what do you think?" Aang held up a small light blue ribbon with a metalic charm on the end. Katara couldn't make out what the charm looked like, but now everything made sense to her,

"Aang's going to ask me to marry him," Katara said quietly to herself a huge blush slowly rose through her cheeks, all of her questions of what was wrong with him had been answered.

Meanwhile

As soon as Katara left Toph said,

"She's not going to practice waterbending is she?" Her head looking in the general direction of Sokka. Sokka now had a huge smirk on his face.

"Nope," was all he said as the smirk remained on his face. Toph looked at him oddly,

"Why do I have a feeling that you know what's wrong with Twinkle Toes but you're not telling me," she asked. Sokka was now in a reclining position with his hands wraped behind his head to make a pillow.

"Because I do know what's wrong with Aang," Sokka said with that huge smile still on his face, or atleast it was on his face until Toph threw a rock at his head, "Owwwwwwwwwww," Sokka yelled as he rubbed the spot on his head where the rock made contact.

"I can't believe you didn't tell your own girlfriend this critical piece of information," Toph yelled at him and then began to pout. A smile broke out on Sokka's face again as he let out a chuckle and responded,

"The only reason I didn't tell you was because Katara was here." Toph glared at him,

"What does Sugar Queen have to do with this?" Toph asked in an annoyed tone because she still didn't understand what the hell Sokka was talking about. Sokka again let out a small laugh,

"Maybe I should start at the begining." Toph glared at him like he was an idiot and took a drink of water from one of the water skins (that was for drinking not bending),

"Yes the begining would be nice." she said growing more and more annoyed with being out of the loop while taking another drink of water.

"Well while we were at the South Pole, a few days before we had to leave Aang pulled me aside and told me that he wanted to ask Katara to marry him..." Sokka said before Toph abruptly spit out the water that she was drinking.

"Twinkle Toes is proposing to Sugar Queen no wander he's been acting weird," Toph shouted almost too loud. Sokka glared at her, but it took Sokka a minute to realize that she wouldn't respond to that glare,

"Um...Toph I was in the middle of a story," he said some what bitterly.

"Oh sorry, please continue O story master," Toph said sarcasticly.

"Thank you, anyways he said that he wanted to ask our dad for premsion. Well he was too nervous to go it alone so he wanted me to come with him. I agreed to go with him but I told him not to worry because he already thinks of Aang and you as his children anyways. Asking YOUR dad for premission that'd be scary, he'd probably send the dogs on me," Sokka laughed but then he realized he said that out loud. A smirk appeared on Toph's face,

"Continue," was her only word.

"Um...yeah I was so excited because that means that I fnally get to have a little brother, I always wanted a little brother to do guy stuff with, but I got saddled with Katara. So anyways Aang and I decided that the night before we left the South Pole was when he was gonna go ask my dad and when I would show up as moral support."

"Hmmmmmmmmm that explains why he was nervous wreck at dinner that night," Toph laughed to her self, "he could barley hold his chopsticks."

"Ahem," Sokka said rather annoyed that Toph had interupted him once again.

"Ugh...sorry, just continue with the story." at this comment Appa let out a loud groan, "see Appa wants you to continue the story too." Sokka appeared as though consindering weather to go on with the story,

"Fine anyways after dinner I pulled my dad aside and the three of us went into my room." Sokka started to laugh, "I have never seen Aang so nervous, he couldn't even put together a full sentance. So I kinda had to talk for him, for the first few minutes of the converstation, but eventually he got his confidence back and my dad approved and everyone went home happy." Sokka said with the grin still on his face, "So for the past three weeks, that we've been heading twoards Ba Sing Se, Aang has been going off by himself to work on the engagement necklace he's planning on giving her and practice how he's gonna ask her."

"Hmmmm...that explains a lot, I bet he'll propose once we get to Ba Sing Se, I mean who would want to get engaged out in the middle of nowhere," Toph analyzed. Sokka shrugged,

"That's probably what he's planning on doing, but you forget we just let Katara follow him."

"This should be very interesting," Toph responded with a smile on her face, "Oh yeah and by the way I'm sure my dad won't totally kill you if you asked him if you could marry me." This made Sokka blush, then he began to think back to when Toph had told her father they were dating.

"Are we talking about the same person?" Sokka asked her sarcasticly. Toph let out a genuine laugh.

Back With Aang and Katara

Aang had begun rehearsing what he was going to say when he asked Katara,

"Okay Momo, I've been thinking about a bunch of different ways to ask her, so guess I should say them all out loud and see which one sounds the best." Aang said, Momo chattered in agreement. Aang took a deep breath in and began, "Katara there's something really important that I want to ask you, well you're the best friend I've ever met and I love you and I want to ask you will you marry me?...Ugh no that's not good, Uh... maybe something like "Katara you're the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful person I've ever met, I've loved you for as long as I can remember, I want you to be the one that i spend the rest of my life with, Katara will you marry me, Ugh no that's not right either!"

Katara watched Aang make a few more blunders at asking her to marry him. She was still totally shocked that he was going to ask her to marry him, but she was thrilled as well and almost burst into tears of joy when she figured it out. Aang was obviously getting frustrated with himself because of all the mistakes he was making. To be honest Katara would have agreed to marry him if he had said any of those proposals, but he just wanted to make this perfect.

"Ugh,...Momo what's wrong with me I can't get the right words to come out, I can barely look at Katara anymore with out getting nervous, and I can't even talk to her with out the fear of saying something stupid like "I wanna be the father of you children." Aang moaned as he slumped into the tall grass.

Katara had a huge blush on her face now, after all it's not every that the man she wanted to marry said that he wanted to be the father of her children. Aang was totally freaked out about the proposal so she figured who better to help him than her. She undid her mothers necklace, placed it gently in her pocket and started walking out of the woods twoards the young man and called to him,

"You know if you needed help proposing to me you could have just asked." Aang just stood there motionless, after a few seconds he slowly turned to face her, he looked down right horrified that she had caught him.

"How long were you there," he asked still mortified at being caught.

"Long enough," she responded, "Now come over twoards me," Aang slowly walked over to Katara avoiding eye contact with her, "Now tie the necklace you made me around my neck," she ordered confidently. He quickly obeyed. She laced her fingers with his, he started to make eye contact with her. "Now repeat after me Aang, Katara of the Southern Water Tribe will you marry me." Aang was still completely shocked, but he repeated what she said,

"Katara of the Southern Water Tribe will you marry me." Katara smiled to herself at her achomplishment.

"Yes Avatar Aang, I will marry you." Katara said as she lunged into Aang's arms and kissed him. Aang had finally recovered from shock and followed the suit, he wrapped his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Katara broke the kiss, "Yes Aang I will love you forever, yes I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and yes you can be the father of my children," Aang blushed but before he could say anything Katara pulled him into another kiss.

YaYness that took forever to write, but it was so much fun to write too. And I owe some credit to Boy Meets World for that "I wanna be the father of your children" line, I can just totally picture Aang saying that. Now please, please, please go review it would make me very, very happy (and yes if you review I will still give you pie)
