A/N: SHOUT OUT TO MY BEST BUDDY TAMMY WHO KEEPS ME OUT OF TROUBLE!

Letters and Rapture

It's windy. Why's it so windy? Katara thought. Her closed eyes crinkled and her eye brows pressed together. She opened one eye and shrieked.

"Sorry!" Aang said. He had been leaning over her just staring. "Zuko she's up." Aang yelled.

Zuko whipped around from his position on Appa's head and rushed to her engulfing her in an embrace.

"Zuko you're crushing me." Katara said tiredly. He loosened his grip but didn't let her go. Katara looked around. "Why are we on Appa? What happened?" She asked.

"Well Sweetness, we had to relocate, no big deal." Toph answered.

"That doesn't completely answer my question." Katara said in an annoyed and tired tone.

Zuko picked Katara up and placed her in his lap, holding her like a baby and brushed the hair out of her face tucking it behind her ear.

"You got hit with one of those poisonous darts. I got out the rest of the prisoners. We're on our way to the eastern air temple. The people we helped escape are our allies, they're going to help us fight back. We're keeping contact with them by messenger hawk." Zuko explained. He felt Katara shiver and heated his body up a bit and pulled her closer.

"Katara meet Hawky, Hawky Katara." Aang said.

Hawky? Why does that sound familiar? Then it struck her. Sokka's messenger hawk's name is Hawky.

"Is that-"

"Sokka's messenger hawk, yeah he sent that bird to find you. I'm surprised it actually complied to what Sokka wanted it to do. You got pretty far." Zuko cut her off. "There's a message too." Zuko said handing her a scroll.

Katara read fast. Her eyes flying over the parchment. The biggest smile spread across her face.

"Did you reply? Tell him where we're going?" Katara asked excitedly.

"Are you crazy Sugarqueen! Of course we didn't! That's too risky and you know it."

"Oh right." Katara said crestfallen.

"But what we can do is have him meet us somewhere other than where we're staying to be sure it's really him. If not we escape on Appa and keep heading to the air temple." Zuko suggested.

Katara smiled the hugest smile and kissed him on the cheek. "Let's do it. In the letter he said he was in kyoshi."

Aang steered off in that direction.

It was later into the night. Toph was sleeping under her earth tent and Aang on Appa's huge tail with Momo snuggled under his arm. Katara sighed from her spot on Appa's saddle.

"Can't sleep?"

Katara turned around and came face to face with Zuko.

"No you?"

"Nope." He shrugged and sat up moving closer to Katara.

"So…" Zuko said.

"So…" Katara said back mockingly.

Zuko rolled his eyes. Katara stuck her tongue out at him. Zuko tackled her playfully and started tickling her, his body hovering over her. She giggled and giggled, making Zuko smile his heart shattering smile. He stopped tickling her and looked into her eyes. He started leaning it. Her eyes began to close slowly.

"You have a leaf in your hair." Zuko said reaching up and pulling it away.

Katara huffed. She grabbed his shirt collar and pulled his lips to hers. His eyes widened, not expecting her to be so forward, but he was putty in her hands. He didn't want to admit it but he was definitely whipped. He rolled over pulling her with him deepening the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He had his hand buried in her hair and the other on the small of her back. When they parted to breath, Zuko's lips traveled to her collarbone. She moaned lightly and pulled his lips back to hers. They fell asleep under the stars, Katara cuddled in Zuko's arms, his chin resting on the top of her head.
