Afternoon
New-fallen snow covered the ground in a fresh new coat, and it seemed the whole world was bathed in soft white light. The sky glittered with shimmering snowflakes as they drifted down, landing without so much as a whisper.
In the midst of this perfect white sheen, a young pair could be seen walking together through the snow. Currently on a visit, they had finally found an extra parka that actually fit Aang. The two were aiming to make good use of it by spending the entire afternoon in the South Pole weather. As they walked, even an outsider could easily tell how close they were, laughing about their friend's reactions to their first snow.
"I don't get why we even came to spend our vacation out here when more than half of them don't even like the snow!" the sixteen-year-old waterbender sighed in exasperation. Aang grinned.
"Well, most of them hadn't even seen snow before until they came here." he reminded her. "Toph, Suki, Mai...the only other one besides you, Sokka and I who has already been in the snow before is Zuko."
"Yeah, and by the way he's stoking the fire, the igloo will have melted by the time we get back." Katara replied, causing Aang to chuckle as he walked on. It was a moment before he realized Katara was no longer in-step with him. Turning around, he frowned at her slightly, curious as to why she was now several paces behind him, a smirk appearing on her face...
Before the airbender had a chance to register what that meant for him, he was hit square in the face by a well-aimed snowball. Katara laughed.
"Got you!" she hollered. This caused Aang to form his own snowball and pitch it towards Katara, only to be hit again by that same snowball.
"Got you again!" she cried. Aang was about to create another when he noticed the massive formation of snow behind the his Sifu.
Dropping his current snowball, he fled, yelling and laughing as she chased him. Running amuck in the previously untouched snow, the Waterbending Master chased her pupil, pelting him with her element. Soon it was rather clear she had the upper hand.
Dodging a snowball, the airbender laughed until another came from behind, catching him in the back of his head. Frowning slightly, he tried side-stepping another wave, only to be hit again.
With an almighty leap, he soared into the sky, several dozen enemy snowballs trailing behind him. Landing gently, he side-stepped half of them; the others that he couldn't avoid pinned him to the ground. Almost sopping wet now as he got up again, the airbender zig-zagged and dodged her various attacks while thinking of a plan...thinking of a weakness.
Eyes growing wide as an idea dawned upon him, he suddenly put on a burst of speed, sprinting far away from the scene.
Puzzled, the waterbender held another snow-strike at the ready, gazing out to where he had vanished through the falling snow. Nothing stirred in the frosty land. Dropping her wave of snow, she began trudging through the thickening snow, alone and in a huff.
Just then, a figure came hurtling into view from behind, racing towards his unaware companion as he barely touched the ground. Catching her around the waist, he turned with his back to the ground and flew for a good two seconds before colliding with the snowy earth, skidding along the way. Wincing slightly in pain, Aang glanced back at the impression they had made in the snow; they had slid an impressive ten feet when they came to a complete halt.
Soft grey eyes glowing at the person unwillingly folded into his arms on top of him, he smiled. Her features were in utter shock, eyes wide and mouth slightly agape. Unable to speak due to having the wind knocked out of her, she looked up at her captor, heart pounding within her chest.
Grinning smugly, Aang leaned over to kiss her cherry-red cheek before whispering into her ear, "Got you."
