Kataang AU Week Day 4 – Bubbles

It was just a normal day…

"Katara, your boyfriend's here!" Sokka yelled up the stairs to his sister.

Aang made a pained face and put a hand to his ear. "Ouch, Sokka, that was right in my ear," he said. Sokka shrugged and made his way back to the couch, turning up the volume on the TV.

Katara appeared at the top of the stairs. "Aang," she called down, "come up here."

Sokka rolled his eyes as his feet pounded up the stairs. "There better not be any funny business up there you two!" he called, already knowing nothing would happen but his brotherly instincts told him to threaten them anyways.

"Sorry about my brother," Katara said shutting the door behind her.

"No problem," Aang said, "I'm starting to get used to it; well, the threats anyway." She laughed and he smiled. "So, why'd you want me to come over so bad?" he asked.

"Well," Katara said putting her hands behind her back, "my dad said since he was going to renovate the upstairs bathroom he would do mine and Sokka's bedrooms too. I can paint my room any colour I want! He's going to buy me and Sokka all new furniture, bed sheets and curtains to match it and I want your opinion on the colours I've chosen."

Aang smiled at his girlfriend's excitement. "Sure, I'd love to help."

Katara squealed and dug through her drawer for the paint cards. Meanwhile, Aang sat down on her bed, waiting. Katara looked up from the drawer, frowning.

"I must have left them downstairs," she said. "Stay here, I'll be right back."

Aang nodded and she left the room. Aang sat there and within five seconds he was bored. He swung his legs, lay on his back, bounced on the bed, but nothing could ease his short attention span.

Finally, he decided to lie on his stomach and tap on Katara's fish bowl. The goldfish slowly swam around annoyed by Aang's constant tapping.

"Bubbles," Aang called to the fish, for that is what Katara chose to name him. "Bubbles," Aang sang.

The bowl was sitting on top of some books Katara kept on her night stand. Since the table could not fit between her bed and the wall, Katara kept it at the foot of her bed instead. The night stand, however, was old and had seen better years. You see, Aang's constant tapping was moving his arm, which moved his body in flow; since his body was on the bed, it moved the bed as well. Then every time Aang moved the bed forward it would bump against the night stand, and because the night stand was as old as it was the legs were not as stable as it once was. It just so happened that when Aang bumped against it with the bed, one leg on the night stand broke, sending the fish and the books crashing to the floor. Poor Aang was now lying on his stomach; his finger positioned to tap the glass once again, was staring at the little goldfish, flop around Katara's bedroom floor.

"Oops," Aang said.

"Aang is everything all right? I heard a crash," Katara called from downstairs.

Aand panicked. "Uh, yeah; everything's alright!" he called them jumped from the bed and took the fish in his hands. It was flopping and slippery and Aang needed a place to put it now. He looked around the room. A glass of water was sitting on Katara's desk. He rushed over and put the fish in it. "Crap, it's empty!" Aang thought as soon as the fish hit the bottom of the glass.

"Oh, Aang I found it!" Katara said climbing up the stairs. Panic sketched all over Aang's face. If he let Katara find out he killed her fish, she could break up with him! He grabbed the glass off the desk as Katara came into the room and put it behind his back. He stood in front of the spilled water, kicking his bag on top of it.

"Here, look, this is my favourite," Katara said opening the slides to a dark blue colour.

"Hey, Katara, I'm just going to run to the bathroom for a sec," Aang said hurriedly.

"Okay, you know where it is."

Aang rushed out of the room. He ran into the bathroom and ran the water in the sink; it went straight down the drain. Aang's eyes widened. He couldn't put the fish in there! He moved to the toilet; then changed his mind. Finally he came to the bathtub. Quickly he turned on the water and plugged the drain. Slowly, the tub filled with water. Aang dumped the goldfish into the water. For a second it didn't do anything. Aang held his breath. Then the little fish kicked his tail and started swimming around the quick-filling tub.

Then, "Aang, why are you running the water?" came Katara's voice from the door.

Aang froze. "I'm…taking a bath," he said.

There was a pause. "Aang are you okay? Can I come in?"

"No," he pressed his body against the door. "I'm fine, really."

"Aang, I know Bubbles' bowl was knocked over," Katara said. Aang hung his head and opened the door. This was it; she was going to break up with him.

"How'd you find out?" he asked.

"It's kinda hard not to notice when your night stand falls over," she smiled.

Obviously, Aang mentally kicked himself.

"So, where's Bubbles?" she asked. Aang slowly moved out of the way to reveal the fish swimming around the bathtub. He even did a little flip out of the water.

"Aw, Aang, look it how happy he is!" Katara said, kneeling over the side of the tub. Aang knelt next to her. He smiled; the fish did seem, kind of, happy.

Katara laughed as the little goldfish swam around in circles.

"So, you're not breaking up with me?" Aang asked.

"No, why would I break up with you?" Katara wondered.

"Well… because, I almost killed your fish," Aang confessed suddenly.

Katara laughed and out her hand on his. "It's just a goldfish, Aang. I can buy another one at the pet store."

"What about your room? There is water all over the floor."

"I'm getting it redone anyway; it doesn't really matter."

Then, Aang started laughing along with her. "You're right. I guess my imagination get out of control, sometimes." Katara laughed harder, turning Aang's cheeks red. "At least, Bubbles gets something out of it," he said.

Katara squeezed his hand. "Let's leave Bubbles here, for a while and I can put him back in his bowl later," she said tugging his hand and walking across the hall to her room.

As her door closed behind them, Sokka came up the stairs lazily opening the bathroom door.

Suddenly, "Katara, what is a fish doing in the bathtub!"

...for some people.

I wanted to do something different for this one so I did the prompt as a fish named Bubbles!! that Aang totally almost flushed down the toilet but instead put it in the bathtub....good times, good times!
