Returning To A Normal Life

A Day Later...


Katara had woken up a day before, as both she and Aang continued their normal lives. Katara had healed enough to the point where she could continue her daily routine. Though, Hakoda had convinced Katara to sleep alone the next few nights. It really annoyed Aang, but he agreed it would be best for her at the moment.

She awoke early that morning, as she walked down the hall to Aang's room; she climbed into his bed and slipped under the covers; hoping not to wake him. She drifted back to sleep as she laid in her fiance's bed.

"Katara!" Sokka shouted as he looked around the house.

"Waaaiit." he exclaimed as he ran to the airbender's room.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" he demanded, seeing his sister in the airbender's bed.

Aang woke up, hearing someone yelling at him

"What are you talking about, Sokka?." he asked, confused

"You mean you didn't notice Katara laying beside you?" he questioned.

He turned to see Katara sleeping peacefully. He smiled as he turned to face Sokka.

"Sokka, I swear, I hadn't even known she came in here." he protested, "She probably just woke up early, after feeling pain in her back, and came in here."

"Hmmmm, fine." said Sokka, scratching his chin, trying to figure out if the young boy was lying or not.

"I better not find out you convinced her to sleep with you," he said as he pointed a finger in the boy's face, "or I'll mess you up."

"Sure, Sokka." rolling his eyes, he smiled, and laid back down.

The two slept for another few hours. Katara yawned slightly as she woke up. She woke to see Aang asleep facing her. She smiled.

"Aang, wake up." she said as she began to shake him awake.

The young boy groaned as he turned over.

Annoyed, she climbed on top of him and began to kiss him. The boy slowly began to wake up, feeling someone's lips against his.

She broke away, seeing that he was now awake.

"Wow, that's a new way to say goodmorning." he joked as he put his hand behind her head to bring her lips back to his. She pulled away and giggled.

"Well, you seem to be awake now." she said as she pressed her her body against his, as she kissed him passionately.

Aang began to run his hand through her back, as she began to moan with pleasure, he massaged her back, as his tongue began to lick her lips, asking for an entrance. She allowed him to enter, as they both began to moan as they explored eachother's mouths. She broke away, breathing heavily as she slowly got off the bed.

"Katara, wanna go on a ride with Appa today?" Aang asked, wanting to continue the amazing sensation.

"Thought you'd never ask." She smiled as she went to his closet and tossed him his clothes. She went to her closet and began to get dressed.

"Oh, and Aang. What are we gonna do for your birthday in a few days?" she asked as she put her hair loops up.

"Do we have to talk about it now?" he asked as he shaved his head, "It's not that big a deal."

"Yea, it is Aang." she looked at him, knowing it was the same response she got from him every year.

"Especially this year, you're turning sixteen. It's supposed to be your best birthday ever." she walked over to him, putting her arm over his neck.

"Yea, I know. It's just...well you know the monks weren't big on birthdays." he said as they walked down the hall.

"Yea, I know. But, its a big deal to me. You're my fiance," she said as they began to go down the stairs, "and whether you like it or not, We're gonna do something for your birthday."

Aang turned to look at her, he smiled as he loved how she always wanted to do something for his birthday.

"All right, but nothing big. Only friends and family, no one else." he said sternly, as they continued towards the kitchen.

She nodded and they grabbed their breakfast and sat down. Soon Hakoda came down and grabbed his breakfast.

"Morning, you two." he said as he sat down.

"Morning Chief Hakoda." Aang said.

"Aang, I've told you a hundred times, you can just call me Hakoda." he said chuckling.

"Sorry, Hakoda. Anyways, what you doing today?" Aang asked as he began to eat.

"Oh, the usual. Go fishing, help Sokka with warrior training, and all that" he replied.

"Well, we are just on our normal schedule today too." Aang said

"Except," Katara began, "we gotta plan for your birthday Aang."

"Oh, yea that's right, your birthday is in a few days isn't it, Aang?" the chief said.

"Ugh, yea. I just don't wanna do anything big," Aang began, "Just invite the others, and we'll have a dance party."

"Done, so you also wanna invite Zuko and Mai?" the chief asked.

"Depends, after what happened in the Earth Kingdom, he's probably busy searching for Azula." he said.

"Well, we're still gonna try to invite him, Aang." Katara said as they both finished eating.

"Alright, so what are we gonna do till we get ready for our ride on Appa?" Aang asked.

"Hmmmm, I got an idea..." she said as she put her hand under her chin.


"Ya ha ha!" Aang shouted as he slid down the hill on his penguin.

Katara was a few feet behind him as she sped right up to him.

"Too slow airbender!" she exclaimed as she sped right past him.

"Ohh, so that's how you wanna play?" he chuckled as he waterbended a slope right under him.

He flew into the air and landed right in front of Katara's penguin.

"And you call me slow!" he exclaimed as he sped away.

Katara made an annoyed face as she began to freeze the path so she slid faster.

"Ok, this is officially a bending version of penguin sledding." Aang said. He threw his fists back and shot fire out, giving his penguin a boost.

He slid past Katara as she brought up an ice wall in front of him, causing him to turn sharply and slide into a pile of snow.

Katara giggled as she watched him run into a pile of snow. She turned back to see him suddenly turn right in front of her.

"Nice try waterbender!" he shouted as he shot an air blast behind him, causing him to go faster.

She giggled, knowing they were both just messing with each other. She then turned the entire path into pure ice as she slid right to his side. They both smiled at eachother as they entered a cave at the end of the path.

They stopped at the same time as they got off their penguins.

"So, who won this time?" Aang joked.

"I don't know, probably the girl with the hair loopies." she said, twirling her fingers around her hair loops.

"Actually I think it was the bald monk with an arrow on his head." Aang said pointing at his arrow.

"Pffft, in your dreams airbender." she joked, rolling her eyes.

"Alright, then how do we settle this then?" he asked.

"Hmmm, I got an idea." she said as she suddenly threw an ice shard at him.

"Whoa!" he exclaimed as he turned it back into water.

"Ok, so that's how you wanna play." he joked as he made an ice tower below him as she threw ice daggers. He stopped each one and threw a big wave of water at her.

She redirected it as she began to sling ice cylinders towards him.

He broke almost every one as the last one almost flew right past him as he turned away.

He jumped down and landed on top of her. They both laughed as they leaned into eachother to kiss. They continued for a few moments before she broke away.

"Aang, can we go see Appa now?" she asked, breathing heavily on his lips.

"Ohhh, do we have to stop now?" he joked as he rolled off of her.

"Yea, come on. They'll be more of that soon. And maybe, a little something extra." she winked as they got up.

"Alright," he got his staff out and opened it, "wanna go the long way?"

She giggled and nodded as he brought her close to him.

"Hang on tight." Katara held onto his neck as he pulled her waist closer to him as he took off.

Once they were in the air they flew high into the sky.

He leaned his head back as she leaned in to kiss him.

They held onto eachother tight, as they allowed eachother entrances into their mouths. They continued the entire flight, not wanting to break away.


Katara broke away to breath just as she saw Appa's shed, "We're here." she said hanging on tighter to Aang.

"Oh, I didn't really pay attention." looking into her eyes, she blushed.

They landed shortly as they began walking towards Appa.

"Just what do you think you're doing!" they heard a voice from behind them yell.

They turned around to see Sokka with his arms crossed, tapping his foot in the snow.

"Oh, we were just going for a ride on Appa." said Katara.

"Yea, Sokka. Whats wrong with that?" Aang asked.

"Oh, are you sure that's all you're gonna do?" demanded Sokka.

"Ugh, Sokka, I thought you'd be over this by now." Katara said as she crossed her arms.

"Yea, I mean its been the same routine for the past, like what two and half years?" Aang asked as he looked over to Katara.

"Well, still. It makes me uncomfortable." he said protectively.

Oh, and you think it doesn't look weird when you make out with Suki." Katara smiled.

"That's different, she's not my sister!" Sokka said protectively.

"Sokka, you can trust me. We won't do anything we haven't before." Aang said, crossing his arms.

He rolled his eyes, "And why does that still bother me?" he said.

"Fine, but if I find out you're doing anything you shouldn't be, I'll handle it myself." Sokka said pointing a finger at Aang.

"Yes, father." Katara said as she put his hand down.

"See ya later Sokka." Aang said as they continued walking towards Appa.

"Hey, buddy. How you doing today?" Aang said as he airbended a hey bail towards Appa.

"Good boy." Katara said patting the bison's head. "Ready for a little flight, boy?" she said

Appa grunted as if saying 'yes, lets get going'.

"Ready Katara?" Aang asked as he got to appa's saddle.

"Yep, though, instead of guessing the clouds first, how about we..." she began, "Speed things up a little." she smiled and they both leaned in and began to kiss.

"You didn't even have to ask." Aang said as he picked her up bridal style and jumped onto Appa's saddle.

"You know what to do, right boy? No sharp turns." Aang said as he climbed onto the bison's head.

He turned to look at Katara.

"Yip...Yip." he said as they flew into the sky.

He climbed back over into Appa's saddle. Katara grabbed his shoulders and pulled him on top of her. They began to kiss, slow at first, then faster. Aang began to pressed his body against her, causing her to moan with pleasure. She rolled over, putting her on top of Aang. He began to massage her back, as he ran his hand down to squeeze her but, she gasped as she cupped his cheeks with her hands and began to explore his mouth, as he did the same. She began to press her body against his, causing them both to moan slightly. They broke away to breathe as Aang began to kiss her neck, as he followed it down to collar of her shirt, and up again. He pressed his lips against hers, she started to shiver, knowing they began going to a whole new level. Katara took her shirt off, wearing only her pants and upper bindings. Aang traced his lips down to her collarbone, as he licked her skin, she began to moan as they met eachother's gaze.

He smiled, "Katara, I don't know how I could love you more."

She blushed, "Aang, you aren't the only one." she smiled and they locked lips.

After a while they broke away, and Katara rolled off his back, holding his chest in her arms, she whispered, "Aang, don't ever leave me. I could never live with myself if you did."

He smiled, knowing he felt the same, "Katara, I will never leave you, so long you never leave me. If you left, I would follow, no matter how you left."

They saw the sun beginning to set, as Aang climbed over to Appa's head and told him to head back home.

Soon they landed, and headed back Home. They Were Peaceful once more, as they hoped it would stay that way.

Though, one thing bothered Aang,

"What was Azula's Plan?"


I hoped you liked this chapter, I realize the ones like this are longer than the others, but that's cause they are easier to write, also, I hope you all ain't picky about birthday scenes. Hopefully, you know who's I'm talking about. I would also like to thank Private LL Church for inspiring me, and for helping me with the make-out scenes (I know they still prob ain't that good though). Anyways please review.
