I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, I've had this for some time now. So I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer- Unfortunatly, I don't own anything except the setting.

The next morning brought warmth and leisure Aang didn't know who or what was so… warm and comfortable next to him. But he just cuddled closer and the receiving end did the same. Aang didn't want to open his eyes, but eventually he had to get up.

So slowly his eyes fluttered and they adjusted to the light. He rubbed them with his right hand because he was laying on his left side. He looked and twas Katara sound asleep next to him. Their arms wrapped around each other most've brought the warmth. Aang immediately inched closer. He wanted to savor as much as possible for these opportunities didn't present themselves often. Katara's head ,not knowingly, fell to rest on Aang's bare chest. Aang closed his eyes, hoping to hide his red cheeks.

Katara stirred, causing her to sleepily open her eyes. She immediately noticed Aang. How could you not, she was laying on him. However, she didn't see this as a problem. (They fell asleep next to each other. This story isn't rated M)

Smiling, She said," Good morning!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. Although I'm happy you are up and Sokka isn't here to skin me alive. "

"I think I was so tired last night, that I fell asleep after you. But Sokka will skin both of us because he's my brother and he doesn't want me to get hurt. Well, until now because I have you!" she said kissing his nose.

"Well we should probably get up and do something…anything!"

"We could go for a swim? That's what I usually do or did before I met you. "

Aang sat up, pulled Katara up in his arms, and they went to get changed.

"Katara! Hurry up!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Alright I'm ready. "

Aang was awestruck. Katara looked wow. Really beautiful.

"Hello? Earth to baldy!" no use. She had an idea. "Wow Is that a flying bison?"

"Huh wait what? Okay let's go. "

They ran through the house as quietly as possible. It was like a small race towards the pool. Katara won and Aang laughed when she ran into the screen door. Katara couldn't help but laugh as well. Aang almost banged his head when he fell over, consumed with laughter. It took them 10 minutes to recover.

"Ok Katara… we should go outside now and swim before… Sokka finds us. " he said opening the door.

In one motion, Aang stripped his shirt off, threw it on the chair, and jumped into the pool. Katara couldn't help but watch her boyfriend and his semi-huge muscles. She had to give it to him. He was pretty hunky ( thank you to LadyBaSingSe for the story of the super hunky Aang hope you don't mind). Aang was such a sweety, but he could defend her with his life. He looked as if a six pack were to grow in if he kept exorcising. Wait what was she thinking? Well… never mind.

"Hurry up slow poke. Are you waiting for the pool to evaporate or are you staring at my beauty and handsomeness? "

"I'm coming," she said stripping down to her bathing suit. She ran and jumped close to where Aang was, drenching him.

She popped her head out from the water with a smile. The water wasn't too cool, and not too warm.

Aang went over to where Katara was and pulled her under. She smiled because she was expecting this. Aang was smiling as he wrapped his arms around her torso. They resurfaced with laughs.

"I've captured the almighty Katara! I have the ultimate prize!" he screamed as she squealed and tried to break away from his grasp.

She evaded him and went to her hiding place under the water for her artillery. All it is, is a box like indent under the side. She grabbed a super soaker and resurfaced by the steps. She stepped up and fired at will. Katara had a direct hit. Aang was surprised at where the firearm came from. He tried to elude her shot, but she had him pinned.

"I surrender! You win!" he said in defeat. It only took her 5 minutes.

"Now say, 'Katara you are the superior individual. "

"Katara you are the superior individual. " he said rolling his eyes.

"And… I am not worthy to be in your presence. "

"Huh. " he sighed with a small smile. "I am not worthy to be in your presence. "

"Good. Now do you want to see who can make the biggest splash!"

"It's on!"

That was how they spent the next good I don't know… 25 minutes.

Aang won this challenge. So as they contemplated what the tie breaker should be, a familiar face appeared at the edge of the pool.

"There you guys are. Aang I'm going to kill you if you hurt my sister!" Sokka shrilled.

Katara sighed. Classic Sokka. She swam over to the steps and got out.

"Sokka, Aang would never hurt me, but he might hurt you if you don't stop freaking out about everything!" Katara hated when her brother went all overprotective on her.

"Anyway, why aren't you sleeping or with Suki?" Katara wanted him to go away no matter what the outcome would be.

"I just talked to dad and he said we are having a ball in honor of Suki and my return! So Aang and I will spend the day together. While you and Suki will do whatever you girls do. You are friends, so it'll be okay. " He seemed almost ecstatic about this.

"Um okay " Aang didn't seem too sure, but he went along with it because Katara is his girlfriend and respected her wishes and her brother's. And not just because he threatened to beat him with canned ham (Aang wasn't really frightened by Sokka).

So they retreated to their rooms to change, and Suki knocked on Katara's door.

"Hey. "

"Oh hey Suki. What's up?"

"Just stoppn' by to see if you're finished… and you are so how's life? I heard you have a boyfriend!" Suki said in a high- pitched squeal.

Katara blushed. "Yeah, Aang. He was an orphan and we talked for weeks, but there was a - connection between us. That probably sounds crazy, but yeah. So how was the honeymoon ?"

"It was amazing! Sokka and I had an awesome time! But I want to know more about you and Aang."

"Well, he's one of the most kindest, sweetest, and most fun person to be around. He also knows karate and jitsu. We are best friends and will be until we you know death. "

"Is he a good kisser?" Suki asked with anticipation as she sat down next to Katara on the bed.

"Um- yes! But it's not ferocious, it's sweet and passionate. Please don't tell anyone I said that. " she begged.

"Don't worry. My lips are sealed. Anyway. So how long have you two, officially, been together?"

"About a week. But it seems longer. "

"Alright let's go. " Suki said standing up off the bed and looking anxious to go someplace in particular.

"Where are we going?"

"SHOPP'N!

"Okay. Hold on a sec. " she said standing up and heading towards the door, with Suki following suit.

Katara knocked on Aang's door, and entered seconds later, when he had allowed her to enter.

"Hey Aang. Suki and I are going shoppin so it's just you and Sokka. " she went over to him on the edge of the bed, and kissed his cheek.

"Have fun!" he said, enthusiasm noticed.

They went shopping for 2 hours!

Great. Just me and my girlfriend's overprotective brother! He thought.

"Hey Aang come down stairs!" Sokka yelled from somewhere downstairs.

Stay positive! Stay positive! He kept thinking over and over in his head.

He was down the stairs in 3 jumps; and was met by a giddy looking Sokka standing with his hands behind his back.

Sokka pulled his hands in front of him, holding a water gun.

"Ha! Now I've got you!" he pulled trigger, unleashing all the water built up. Aang easily evaded him until he ran out of water. He threw it aside, like an empty candy wrapper, and stuffed his hands in his pockets like nothing had happened.

"So Aang, what should we do?"

He shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, we're going to need some kind of nice clothing for tonight. So…"

"Well, I have traditional clothing from my family. And it fits. "

"What is it ?" Sokka narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Orange and yellow robes. "

"Kay. So now that that problem is solved, let's play downstairs. "

Aang remembered the last time he was down there. He smiled. Good times. Good times.

They spent the next 5 hours playing an assortment of games. Aang won most of them. The only ones he lost, was horseshoes and pool; but only because Sokka kept pushing his arm when he was lining up to shoot.

At the same time, Katara and Suki were out shopping. Suki only had one dress; her wedding dress, which was no use at the ball. Katara already had a dress, so they were here for Suki.

They went to the Gaoling Mall; the biggest mall around.

"Katara, how do I look?" Suki said twirling in the green dress she was wearing.

"Well, maybe I could if you stopped your twirling. "

Suki immediately stood still. She wore a light green dress that had spaghetti straps. It looked like a prom dress, but without all that stuff underneath it to look big and fancy.

"Wow Suki. I like this one the best. "

"Me too! I'll meet you out at the cashier. Let me change. " Suki said prancing into the changing room.

Katara walked over to the nearby bench and collected her thoughts. Aang and she would be going public about their relationship. They would most likely dance together, which would set it off. This wasn't a bad thing, but she just hoped this didn't effect anything: like how Aang reacted, how he acted, and most important, how their relationship would be effected. But Aang wasn't like that. He never let anything influence what and how he looked at things.

"Hey, you ready?" Suki said with the dress draped over her arm.

Katara got up, brushed herself off, and replied," Yup!"

They checked out and Suki drove them back home.

"Guys! We're home!" Katara yelled to them. "I wonder where they could be."

Aang had gone upstairs after their game marathon. He was thinking about Katara. They were going to a public event together and in… public. He was nervous because of how she would treat him. But he had faith that she wouldn't treat him any different. He was also thinking about how he would…dance. It was a ball thing so, wasn't he expected to dance? UGGH!

He flopped his head over the bed in defeat. Sokka was still downstairs playing Spirit knows what. So, he decided on a nap. He laid his head down on the pillow and realized how tired he was. He was asleep moments later.

He dreamed he and Katara were dancing on a cloud by themselves. He was abruptly awaken from his slumber, when he heard a female yelling up for an answer. Ugh.

He lazily got up and went to the railing in the hall and saw Suki and Katara. They were back already? Uh-Oh. Sokka was still downstairs. Suki is probably going to get ready and is Sokka isn't ready when she is, than I'm not taking my chances of being a mediator.

I jumped down the two flights of stairs without injuring myself, and yelled at Sokka to get his butt upstairs to change before Suki noticed. I think he was racing up the stairs when I'd said 'Suki'.

I was sitting peacefully on my bed, dressed in the robes of my ancestors. They went down, like a wide sash, down my one shoulder. They were a gold-yellow color with a few orange strips. Then I had on a tunic-like pair of pants, which were brown. And the were, at the ankles, wrapped with a gold thing, but were still attached to pants (just think of the outfit he wore after The Day Of Black Sun). He heard an unfamiliar knock at the door.

"Come in!" he repositioned himself, so he was facing the door. His stomach churned as Sokka walked in. He didn't fear him as much as it was he was afraid he would tell Katara something he 'said' and she would hate him.

"Hey. "

"Listen Aang. About tonight…please don't hurt or do anything you would regret to Katara. " He seemed-nervous.

Aang smiled reassuringly," Don't worry. I don't plan to do anything horrible. Mmkay?"

Sokka nodded. And that was it. The end of that conversation.

We headed downstairs to meet the girls, but were greeted by goddesses.

"Hey. There you guys are. Ready to go?" Katara said facing them.

She was wearing a light blue dress that went down to her knees and had spaghetti straps. Because it was summer, she only wore a small, short-sleeve, white sweater. To finish the ensemble, she had on a pair of royal blue flats, with a bow on each. In other words, she was beautiful.

Aang's mouth dropped and he blushed.

"Uh wow Katara, you look beautiful. Wait. " he said trying to find a better word. "You look breath taking. "

This made her blush. She loved Aang, and he knew it. However, she was afraid to say those three words. It was just freaky.

"Thanks. You look pretty handsome yourself. I've never seen that kind of robes. They're really cool. "

"They belonged to my dad, which belonged to his dad, and so on for 10 generations. " Aang looked into her eyes and saw an extra shimmer which made him blush causing Katara to blush just looking at him, looking at her.

"Alright lovebirds, save all the gushy gushy talk for when I'm not here. Let's go!" Sokka said rolling his eyes as he opened the door.

They hopped into the limo and they were off to the ball which would be held downtown. Hakoda sat upfront while Aang and Katara sat across from Suki and Sokka. They had only one stop along the way and that was to pick up Mai and Zuko along with Toph and The Duke. They were waiting at Zuko's mansion this time.

"Hey Sugar Queen, Snoozzles, Suki, and I'm guessing this is your date or just a very friendly friend. " Toph said hopping in next to Sokka, followed by The Duke, who sat next to her, and Zuko and Mai, who sat next to Katara.

"Hehe yeah. I'm Aang. I'm guessing you're Toph. "

"Yup that's me. And this is my boyfriend of 2 hours, The Duke. " she said pointing to the left of her.

"I'm Zuko and this is Mai, my girlfriend ."

"Zuko, Mai, Toph, and The Duke. Got it. So we ready to go?"

Everyone cheered.

"Ok then, let's go!" Aang said as they pulled away.

It took them only 15 minutes to arrive at the scene of the party. Everyone filed out and held their partner's hand. Aang and Katara were the last ones out and they pulled up the rear. Katara looked up and gasped.

Standing in plain view of her and Aang was the last person she wanted to see.

Jet: her ex-boyfriend of 1 hour.
