The Moment?

"Aang? Wake up." Katara said in a soft voice.

"Hmm. How long was I asleep for?" Aang asked.

"Just an hour or so. I just got back." She said.

"What'd you guys talk about?" Aang asked.

"Well… I told him that he's a hypocrite for telling us not to have sex but he's doing it." She said.

"You did what!" He said.

"Don't worry. I also told him that we're eventually going to have sex. I told him that we love each other very much and he said he knows that but he still wants to 'protect me.' Then I told him I don't need to be protected." She said.

"You told him that?" Aang asked.

"Yeah. We should get some sleep. Toph's staying in Gaoling with her parents and we need to drop her off before we go to Kyoshi." Katara said.

"You're right." Aang said.

"Are you going to sleep on Appa all night? In all of your robes and everything because I was hoping that you'd make an earthtent for us and we could go to sleep…together."

"What if Sokka wakes up and see we're in one earthtent instead of separate earthtents?" Aang asked.

"The chances of Sokka waking up before us is very unlikely. Plus it's not like we're going to be doing anything." Katara said.

"Okay." Aang said. He got up and built them a small but roomy earthtent. Katara walked and put some blankets on the ground. The she stripped into her bindings. Aang took off his shirt then said, "maybe I should keep my pants on in case someone wakes up."

"Okay." She said with a small smile. "Let's try to get some sleep," she said while tapping the space next to her.

"Okay." Aang said.

He lied down facing her and cuddled with her. He had his head in between her neck and shoulder. He wrapped his arms around his waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She had one leg in between his legs.

After about fifteen minutes Katara finally spoke. "Aang? Are you still awake?"

"Yeah." He said.

"You can't sleep either?" Katara asked.

"I just keep wanting to… kiss you, but we can't." Aang said.

She moved her head back so they could be face to face. "Why not?" She said.

"Well… because my heart rate is going to go up and Toph could feel us and I don't want to wake anyone. And I don't want to poke you." He said with his cheeks reddening.

"Oh." She said her face getting hot. She sighed. "I really want to kiss you now. I don't care if anyone wakes up."

He smiled and then kissed Katara lightly at first but more passionately afterwards. After a while Aang was sitting up on the blankets with Katara on top of him as they were kissing roughly and lustfully. All of a sudden Aang stops.

"What's the matter?" Katara asked.

"Someone's coming." He said. His mind was so clouded that he couldn't sense who but their walk was familiar.

"Well, who is it?" She asked.

"I don't know. I can't tell. But it's someone we know or someone I know." He said.

"I'm going to go." He said as he began to earthbend a tunnel that would lead him straight to Appa. "Bye. I love you."

"I love you too." She said.

He gave her one last kiss then left and closed the hole/tunnel. Aang didn't even touch the floor and lied on Appa's tail and pretended to be asleep. Before he closed his eyes he saw Toph walking towards Katara's room. She took one of the walls down walked in and a second later she was walked out and went straight to Aang.

"Twinkle toes. Will you please control your heart rate when you're sneaking around with her at night please! Some people sleep at night." She said in angry whisper trying not to wake Sokka and Suki.

"Sorry." Aang said. For the rest of the night he stayed on Appa's tail.

The next morning everyone was up, dressed, and had eaten by midday. While Aang was getting everything on Appa, Katara walked up to him, "hi." She said.

"Hey. What's up?" He said with a smile on his face.

"I think that we should have sex." She said nonchalantly.

"Uh… umm- okay." He said feeling his face getting hot. "But you said we'd know in the moment." He said.

"I'm tired of waiting for the 'moment'. I love you and I think we're ready." She said.

"Okay. When?" He asked.

"Well… When we're at Kyoshi Island. Sokka going to be with Suki the entire time we're there. We're going to have a whole guest house for ourselves." She said.

"Okay. It is weird that I'm nervous?" He asked. "I mean don't get me wrong I love you too and I'm ready it's just… I can't believe it's actually going to happen." He said.

"Yeah. I know what you mean." She said.

Toph walked over to them. "Are you guys ready because I'm ready to head home. Even though my parents bug me sometimes they're cool." Toph said.

"Yeah." Aang said.

"Sokka! Suki! We're leaving." Katara said.

"You don't think your brother is not going to try to kill me since you told him… you know." Aang said.

"Don't worry Aang. He won't do anything. Katara said.

They all got on Appa and headed towards Gaoling. Even though Appa knew where they were going Aang stayed on Appa's head the entire time. They all got off of Appa and left him in the yard at Toph's house and headed towards the town. While they were walking they heard someone yell, "Katara!"

They all turned around and Suki asked, "who's he?"

"Is that..?" Sokka said.

"It is…" Toph said.

"I can't believe it, it's…" Aang said.

"Who is it? Suki said.

"It's Jet." Katara said.

"Who's Jet?" Suki asked.

"Some guy Katara had a huge crush on." Toph said.

"I did not have a huge crush on him. I just thought he was cute." Katara said.

"Hello. Your boyfriend is standing right here." Aang said.

"I see why you thought he was cute." Suki said.

"Hey!" Sokka said.

"Not as cute as you." Suki said with a smile.

Jet walked up to the group of friends. He was only a few inches shorter then Aang. His hair was almost the same except that it was a little shorter. "Wow. I never thought I'd see you again. How are you? How've you been?" He said without even acknowledging everyone else standing right there.

"I'm good. You remember my brother Sokka, Toph, Aang and you never meet Suki." She said as she pointed to everybody when she said there names.

"Yeah." He said as he looked amongst the group. "Wow. Katara you look beautiful. How long are you staying in Gaoling? I'd love to show you around and catch up."

He said.

"I'm only here for today. We're going to Kyoshi Island tomorrow morning." She said.

"Well I'd love to take you out later today if you don't have plans." He said.

"I'm sorry Jet but I can't. We're going to go get something to eat and we're going to be spending the day with Toph since she's not coming with us to Kyoshi." She said.

"Oh. Okay. Well , whenever you're in Gaoling look me up." He said the he turned around and walked into the local fish market.

"'Wow Katara.' He totally like you." Suki said.

"Where's Aang?" Sokka said.

"He left when Jet kept saying 'Wow Katara.'" Toph said.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Katara said.

"Hey, don't get mad at me. The only person who had the right to be mad right now is Aang." Toph said.

"Why would Aang be mad?" Sokka asked.

"Wouldn't you be mad if Suki flirted with some guy she had a huge crush on right in front of you?" Toph asked.

"First of all I did not have a huge crush on him. And second I wasn't flirting with him I was having a conversation." Katara said angrily.

"Hey Sweetness tell Aang that not me. I think his feelings were hurt or something." Toph said.

"Where is he?" Katara asked.

"What! You want me to track him or something." Toph said.

"Yeah." Katara said.

"Give me a minute." Toph said. "Okay. He's by a pond, that way. Walk straight down you'll find him." She said pointing down the street.

"Okay. Thanks Toph." Katara said.
