Hey, again. So this is the chapter you have been waiting for. I hope Aang isn't too out of character. I tried really hard to keep them all in character. Hopefully it worked!
Disclaimer: Sadly…no I don't own anything.
Memory/Flashback = Italics
Aang woke up to the sound of people outside the barn. He got up from the hay stack and brushed himself off. He knew that he would need to face everyone sooner or later, so he pulled his hood up and left the barn. Walking through town, he saw that even more had changed. It was dark when arriving last night, so he didn't see much but a few torches lighting the path.
Aang hadn't been in the South pole for three years. He was sixteen at the time and now everything seemed even more different. Almost like it was when he was a kid before the war and the iceberg.
'Bet she had something to do with it," he thought sadly, but also somewhat happy. He was really confused on how to feel. Should he be happy to be back? Or should he be sad?
There was only one way to find out.
He had to find her.
He was on track to her old house. Hoping that she was still there, he trudged along. After a few moments he began to think of why he left. The memory never left him, but he felt as if a part of his heart did.
Aang awoke and found a note attached to his nightstand. He read it:
Aang-
went to get some things in town
-Katara
He got out of bed and dressed. He decided to go out and find her for a surprise. After noticing Sokka still asleep in his room, Aang left the house.
After about ten minutes of walking, he saw Katara standing by a fish booth, but she wasn't alone. There was another man talking to her. Aang didn't think to much about it until the man got closer to her. He couldn't see Katara's face because her back was to him. They both seemed to be talking, but the guy had more interests on his mind. Finally the 'gentleman' tried to touch her a little to sensually. That's all Aang needed to lose control and run up to strike the guy with a punch to the face. The man fell back a few steps and then came back, but noticed Aang's tattoos. He stopped and darted away.
"Aang! What's wrong with you?" Katara nearly yelled and turned Aang to face her.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?" Aang said still angry.
"I'm not the one who just hit an innocent guy in the face."
"Maybe not, but he was not innocent. I know what he wanted." Aang pointed at himself to emphasize his point.
"He was only flirting."
"And you let him do it even though you're my girlfriend?"
"If you can't trust me enough to be faithful to you, then maybe we shouldn't be together!"
"Fine then! If that's the way you feel, we wont!"
Aang turned and ran away to his bison. His eyes began to tear up. When Aang reached Appa, he packed his stuff up quickly and left. He was so upset that he didn't bother to say goodbye to Sokka or Toph. Appa groaned and took to the air. Aang sat in the saddle and let the wind dry his tears to the surface of his cheeks. They were headed toward Ba Sing Se in the Earth Kingdom.
Aang stopped in front of the house. He took a deep breath and pushed back his hood. He could see light from inside, so he knew someone was home. After stepping up, he knocked on the door. Footsteps were heard inside and then the door started to open...
Dun dun Duuuuunnnn! What will happen next? Review and stay tuned! Oh...and by the lay...LONGER CHAPTER! Not much but it is! Woot! Woot! (Does happy dance) ; )
