Hey, btw, I've edited the 2nd chapter a lot (at the end especially) so remember to check it out again.
Okay…before reading on, to prevent any confusion, the Aang and Sokka scene takes place at the same time (of each other and the kiss) and only for about 30 seconds. The kiss lasts for about a minute…just long enough for Sokka and Aang to exit and Katara to take in what is happening and do whatever she does...(if you're complaining that Katara is reacting too slow, think about if a guy/girl suddenly kissed you…as well as some other reasons…you will know by just reading)
I will be editing this chapter...Suggestions are accepted!
I know Aang seems like a crybaby in this, but the fact that the girl he loved was kissing another person just after he "confessed" his love for Katara must have hit him pretty hard…causing him to act this way. Actually, I personally think that Aang is taking this pretty well by not killing someone the moment he saw the kiss...(that is about as much as I will tell you)
Remember that it is already past midnight, meaning that when I say they looked in the afternoon, it means in the same day.
Also, as stated in chapter 2…I will only update it on weekends because of school.
I might change this to T…because I'm too busy to write more for the M part…so if you haven't put this story on your alert, then either put it on or check in the T and M on the weekends…
Thanks for all of the reviews...I know Zuko acts OOC, but you know...boyish hormones make guys attracted to any beautiful girls and guys do tend to be fickle..Also- I forgot to mention, Mai is dead in this story, I'll actually state it in the story later.
Disclaimer: you get the idea already...I don't own Avatar
Aang reeled away from his hiding spot until he hit the wall. His eyes glued onto the pair, wondering what had just happened.
'First, Katara confessed her love for me, and then Zuko and Katara started kissing?!' He wondered. His heart felt like it was sinking to his stomach.
His eyes filled first with sadness, betrayal and loneliness, then to disgust, then to rage, and then...then to something he couldn't explain with mere words alone. Some emotion that made him more of a monster than a human being, a sort of desire to kill and to shut out all that were close to him.
Aang's mind raced with multiple thoughts
'How could she…I thought she loved me?! I thought she would care enough to actually tell me instead of breaking my heart again like this! I can't believe I actually loved her…I should have know that I would never have a chance at her...I can't believe that I kissed those same lips that Zuko is kissing now!'
Aang's eyes started to water, the pain clear in his eyes. His hands curled into a fist and his body visibly trembled with rage.
'...How DARE she turn on me?! After all I've ever done for that girl! After I had given up everything for her; all of my power, my heart…my-my dignity. I can't believe I loved her…she disgusts me, how she can just play with my emotions like a...a puppet master and abandoning me like trash, not caring once how I felt about her!
Tears were now flowing down his face, trying in vain to forget the waterbender that he had loved so much.
'Maybe…maybe she only came with me to get fame and learn about waterbending…just manipulate me to better her own life...maybe we were never even friends'
Aang's face hardened at this thought. His mind drifted to his early memories of the trip, thinking on what they had been through together. The memories were too much for him and Aang started to quietly sob to himself. He turned andsprinted out to the beach, bumping into the wooden walls on his way out, not caring if anyone saw him. The ocean was still beautiful, reflecting the last of the moon's pale white face from its blue surface. As he ran onto the beach, he collapsed on the sand, his legs and arms failing to obey him anymore.
After a few seconds, he was able to calm down a little, tears still fell down his face. He wiped some of the tears with his hand. His eyes still filled with betrayal, pain, rage, and…the unknown feeling. Aang decided to meditate, hoping that it would help him calm down and keep the girl he had loved so much away from his thoughts.

Sokka's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that his baby sister…was kissing! He was about to throw his boomerang to stop it when a thought struck him.
'Katara is not a little girl anymore…if she wants to have a relationship with Zuko, then fine…it's her decision to make. Anyways if you interfered she would probably get REALLY angry at me...it's best if you just leave them alone.'
Sokka actually felt proud of himself. He had gotten over thinking that Katara was helpless…but that didn't mean that he was going to ignore Zuko and Katara completely. Sokka was still going to spy on them, just in case Zuko still tries to force Katara to do something she doesn't want to.
But there was still a nagging thought in the back of his brain. Something that made him question Katara's decision.
'Aang isn't going to like this…if he finds out, it would crush him again!'
Sokka sighed, not liking the idea of his best friend's heart torn into a million pieces by his own sister. Sokka was about to turn when, from the corner of his eye he saw a figure pressed up against the wooden wall, just opposite from where Sokka was hiding.
Sokka squinted at the figure and finally realized it was Aang. Even though Aang was far away, Sokka could still see the pain and sadness in his eyes...as well as something he thought he would never see in Aang's eyes, hatred.
Sokka sighed again, Feeling sorry for the heartbroken avatar.
'This can't end well…'
Sokka turned away and went back to his bed, trying to figure out what he had seen.

Katara tried to gasp from shock, but the only result was widening her own mouth to allow Zuko's tongue in. She pushed Zukoaway, but realized that his arms were wrapped around her head and waist preventing her from doing so. Her mind was raced, thinking of ways to escape this unwanted kiss.
She decided to bite Zuko's tongue, causing Zuko to reel away. Katara moved as far away, while still keeping her eyes on the now bleeding firebender. She took several deep breaths, while moving into her waterbending stance.
"What.The.Hell.Was.That.For!" Katara yelled between breaths, glaring at the firebender, her eyes filled with rage and disgust.
"Well, since you were so depressed that the Avatar couldn't love you, I thought I could cheer you up." Zuko replied smugly.
"Just because he can't love me, doesn't me I still don't love him. And what made you think I would want to kiss YOU, you jerk!" Katara yelled.
"Come on, Katara, you know you can't love the Avatar, you said so yourself. You guys aren't meant to be together." Zuko stated coldly.
"I love Aang! I love him even if he loves someone else or can't love me! I love him even if he is killed! So NEVER EVER say that I can't love him because I will always love him no matter what!" She said, tears streaming down her face.
Katara turned and ran back into her room, making sure that the door was securely locked and collapsed onto to her bed. Her tears soaking the pillow, her mind still latched onto Aang.
After finally calming down, Katara turned over and looked up at the ceiling, the fire nation insignia painted clearly. She sighed, hoping that no one saw that horrible kiss. She got up and walked over to the restroom and tried to brush the memory of Zuko from her lips. She scrubbed her lips until they bled, desperate to just get rid of the feeling of Zuko's lips. After deciding that it was enough, she bended some water over her lips to heal herself. As she did this, her mind raced with thoughts and feelings.
'You know, he is right." Her conscience told her.
'Oh so your agreeing with the guy who just forced a kiss on me?!Katara thought defensively
'Well…yes in a way. You really can't afford to have Aang love you. Maybe it is best if you wait after the war.'
Katara's eyes glinted with rage.
'NO! I'm not going to listen to you! I'm going to tell Aang that I still lovehim! I can't live like this, always hiding my feelings from him! I NEED Aang and...andwhat if he doesn't survive?! How can I live with myself if the last words I said to him were the ones that crushed his heart?! I'd rather die than be kept away from him!'
She turned and laid down on the bed. Closing her eyes, Katara silently promised herself that she would tell Aang before he went to face the Firelord. Her dreams drifted to the young airbender and his beautiful, grey, storm-like eyes.

After waking up, Katara sat up on her bed, thinking of the many ways to approach Aang and confess that she loved him. This thinking went on until the afternoon, when she finally came to a decision andwent to find Aang.
Kataratried desperately to find Aang. She searched the entire house, carefully avoiding Zuko. To her disappointment, Aangwas no where to be found. Katara decided to try and check the beach.
The ocean was still beautiful, catching and reflecting the sun's last rays.
As she walked on the sand, she saw a figure meditating and immediately started running towards the figure, assuming that it was Aang.
"Aang!" She yelled. Katara reached the figure and grabbed him by the shoulder, turning him around to face her and pulled him into a hug.
Okay…I've decided to leave a cliffhanger for you guys. I know…not much of a cliffhanger.
Just tell me what is needed to be improved via reviews or pming me like coolmac1718 did.
BTW- I know that Aang and Sokka reactions are not the best; I'll be editing them from time to time.
