I do not own ATLA or the inspiration for this fic, Last Kiss.
Chapter Seven
Katara POV (when isn't it Katara's POV...haha.)
It's been three years since Aang and Toph came back. We all graduated with high honors. Yes, I'm proud to say that we survived college. We all graduated and got the exact job we wanted. I got my degree in science, and I'm taking courses on Marine Biology and Archaeology, the two things I've always wanted to be. Aang got accepted into med school and is doing well. Toph…well she doesn't need a job. She's inheriting millions from her parents, so right now she's just doing something simple.
I smile as I look at my graduation picture. Now, I'm packing away all my things and moving in with Toph. She bought a small house with three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. Nothing to special. I smile as I put away my pictures into a box. Now everything is packed and ready to go. I sigh. I'll miss my apartment, but I'm better off living in a real place at the age of twenty five.
I skim my room for anything I may have left behind. I notice how I've left behind one picture…I go and grab it. I stick it in my purse and head out the bedroom door. I sadly smile as I walk out of the apartment room. I walk down the stairs carrying the last of my things and putting them in the moving truck. I look back at the apartment and smile.
Toph and Aang have been sitting on the porch waiting for me. Aang grabs my hand and the three of us get in our respective cars, Aang driving Toph of course, and lead the moving truck to our new home.
When we arrive, we carry in all the boxes. Everything is all in the house in an hour and a half. The trucks leave, we head in, and get started setting up. In two hours, the living room is set up. We have a couch, a smaller couch, a flat screen, and of course a Kinect (sp?). We like the way the room looks. We head to the kitchen and get that settled in.
Within the next week, everything has been arranged, painted, and mixed together. Aang, Toph, and I all have our own furniture, so the house has different feelings to it.
We all sit on the couch after a long week's worth of work. We all relieve-sigh and smile at each other. I kiss Aang on the cheek and give Toph a hug. We just sit there for a while, watching some TV enjoying the moment.
A few days later, Aang said he had to go somewhere. Toph and I decided to go to the spa. Well, I decided, she was arguing.
"The Fancy Lady Day Spa? Sounds like my kind of place," Toph said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and grabbed her arm. We walked into the spa and immediately I smelt expensive shampoos, moisturizers, creams, and perfumes. I sneezed and Toph rubbed her nose.
With Aang
Aang POV (duh…)
Hmmm, which one would Katara like? I asked myself browsing the selection. That's when I saw it. The most beautiful gem ever. While most people propose with diamonds, I know Katara likes Sapphires. It was beautiful! It was a real Sapphire carved in the shape of a circle, like the diamond rings. It was 24 karat gold, too. Wow, it was a lot of money…but Katara's worth it.
I picked up the box and examined it. Well, it was real alright. I hoped Katara would like it.
Back with Toph and Katara
Hmm...I'll do Toph's POV now.
I was actually enjoying this. They weren't touching my feet, unlike the other spas. I had a mud bath (mm, healthy coating of earth, my favorite element), a facial, my nails painted, etc; I just didn't let them touch my feet or do my makeup. Katara seemed like she was enjoying it as well. She got a mud bath, a facial, and her nails painted too. She didn't really want that much makeup, but she got eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. I could only imagine how she looked. Probably better than me…but I don't care. I've never cared about self-images.
Okay, now Katara POV
Toph looked cleaned up for once! She looked pretty, even without makeup. She's one of those girls who can go without makeup and look perfect. But she did get her nails painted, I chose the color I thought she'd like…emerald green. Most girls can't pull off that kind of shade, but Toph can.
I just stuck with a light blue color. I liked how it looked, and it suited my complexion, according to Sally, the lady working here. She complemented us on our beauty…but she gets paid to do that. I looked over at Toph, she was smiling. I think she was trying to act all tough, which she is, but the way she was acting was shouting 'Let's go to the spa more!'
Toph willingly paid for the treat but I had to split it with her. It was too expensive to just pay all that money for two girls.
We headed back to the house, and we got many stares from a lot of people. We shrugged them away and kept walking. That is, until a boy from Toph's grade spotted us. His name was Teo. Teo was a nice kid, and he had quite an obvious crush on Toph. "Hey Toph," he said wheeling over in his weird wheelchair. "Katara," he nodded towards me in a polite manner. "You two look good." He was trying to hide his blush, but I saw it.
"Hey, T!" Toph said, calling him her nickname for him. "What's up?"
"Hey Teo," I say.
We continued to chat for a while, but soon we had to go get dinner ready.
When we got back to the house, it was all cleaned…we left it messy. I shrugged it off; Aang must've cleaned the house while we were gone. I plopped down on the couch, and Toph followed my example. "So, Katara, it seems weird to say….but, can you tell me how I look?" She seemed self-conscious, something she never was. But I nodded and said sure.
"Well, for starters, you have black hair. But I never knew how long it was, you always kept it in a bun." She took her hair out and it went past her shoulders down right before her elbows. "Wow, you have long hair," I say.
"Does it look bad?" she asked.
"No," I said. "It's just different seeing you with long hair…but I like it, keep it down. Another thing about you is you're not as tan as me…but not as pale as Aang, sort of in between. It's quite suiting for you, actually. You also have these milky green eyes…you're really pretty Toph." I say. "You shouldn't worry about how you look. You're very pretty, in fact I've always been a bit jealous." I admit.
She looks dumbfounded. "Really? I've always imagined you as a perfectly beautiful goddess of some sort." She laughed.
I joined in the laughter. "No," I say still laughing a bit, "I have my flaws."
"Sure you do…" she sighed. "Heh, I just realized something."
"What?"
"I haven't made fun of you and Twinkle Toes for a while now! Ha! I need to soon."
I shook my head and laughed. She started to joke around by saying things like 'Aang and Katara sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G', or 'Katara loves Aang, Katara loves Aang," but it didn't bother me. I did love Aang. I did kiss Aang…but never in a tree.
I smiled as Toph continued to joke around. Then I heard the back door open. Toph and I both turned around to see (and sense) Aang standing there. "Hey, you're back!" He said. He ran over to me and kissed me on the cheek. I heard a little "Awwwww," from Toph and I showed affection how she did- I punched Toph in the arm. She laughed and walked away.
Aang looked at me. "Hey, Katara, wanna go out to get dinner?"
"And leave Toph..?" I ask.
He sighed, happily though. "I got her a date. He's going to be here in a few minutes to surprise her."
"Teo?" I ask. He nods. We link arms and walk off to a restaurant we may want to go to.
Well? How was it? REVIEW PLZ! One last thing to say….
