READ THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE!: Hey everyone! I've gotten some very good reviews on this story so far. Thank you to all who have reviewed!

I always enjoy hearing from my readers!

Here's Chapter Four. I want to let everyone know that I may not post Chapter Five till after the beginning of July, being that I'm going to a wedding in Baltimore, MD soon and will not have a computer. So sorry to make everyone wait!

...

Katara had been wandering in the forest for quite some time now, looking for Aang.

"Maybe I should just go back and wait for him to come back on his own," she thought aloud. She heard a stream bubbling and started toward it. She was very thirsty by now, and also thought it might be nice to soak her feet for awhile. Reaching the edge of the stream, she waterbended herself a drink.

"Wow, this is good water!", she said smiling. The water was crisp and clean tasting and helped soothe her dry throat. She looked around and put her hand to her mouth in surprise. About two yards away, leaning against a large rock was Aang, sound asleep. Katara laughed softly at the thought of Aang staying up all night, yet still going to watch the sunrise, then falling asleep. She walked over to him.

"How am I going to wake him up without startling him?" she wondered. The closer she got, the more difficult it was not burst out laughing. He was covered from head to toe in flour and fruit pulp.

"How on earth did he manage to get that dirty, yet keep the kitchen clean?!", she thought amusedly.

"Aang? Wake up, Aang?" she said softly. Aang moaned in his sleep. "Aang!" she said a bit louder. His eyelids twitched as if they had almost opened. Katara knelt down beside him and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Aang!!" His eyes snapped open, pushing himself into a seated position.

"Katara? What are you doing here?"

"It's nearly noon and none of us knew where you were."

"Oh, sorry if I worried you guys..." Aang had momentarily forgotten about the breakfast he had made, but all of a sudden remembered. He blushed heavily.

"Also," Katara started, " I wanted to thank you for the amazing breakfast you made. How did you know how to make that stew?"

Aang smiled shyly. "I'm not sure, It just sort of made sense how to make it..."

"Well, it was wonderful, Aang. Thank you!" She leaned toward him, making him tense up. But then, much to his disappointment, she kissed his forehead, missing Aang's preferred target by a lot. Then she stood.

"Come on, Aang. We'd better get back. They're probably worried sick by now."

"Yeah, I guess so...", he sighed.

"By the way, Aang, what was the pie thing? It was wonderful!" Aang smiled weakly.

"Just something I learned to make at the Southern Air Temple. It can only be made properly by an airbender. That's how you get it so light."

"Wow, that's neat, Aang!"

"Glad you liked it," Aang said with a slight smile.

"I never knew you were such an amazing cook. And that stew brought back so many memories of my Mom. You're a great friend, Aang!"

"Thanks," he said bitterly. "Is that all she thinks of me as? A good friend?" He didn't really look Katara in the eyes the whole way back. Luckily, she was walking in front so he didn't need to. When they finally made it 'home', they were greeted by a rather surprising sight. They walked in the door and stared, mouths hanging open in shock. Toph had Sokka pinned against a wall and was kissing him full on the mouth. She broke apart from him and turned to face Aang and Katara.

"So, you found Twinkle Toes. Good for you, Sugar Queen. We were starting to get worried." Sokka cleared his throat.

"Umm, yeah, worried..." he said slowly. It was apparent that he was in just as much shock as Aang and Katara.

"I guess Toph figured out what to do about Sokka on her own..." Aang thought to himself. Toph could tell by Aang's heart rate and breathing that he was a bit depressed. She made a mental note to ask him about it at earthbending training tomorrow.

"Well, umm," started Sokka, "Let's start getting our stuff together so we can be in the sky before nightfall." And with that, everyone went their separate ways to gather their things. It would be a long night of flying...
