A/N: Yes yes, I know I made Sokka a Raging A-hole in that last one, but do not fret, he recovers from his blunder in the next couple of chapters. Also, any who has seen The Lion King and remembers the part of Simba and Nala with the song "Can you feel the love tonight," this is gonna be a lot like that =]

A Night To Remember

Aang's POV

I'm not one to anger easily, but as I sit here listening to Sokka's dramatized retelling of our first meeting of Jet, I find anger and annoyance hard to push to the side. He ignores the pleading of Katara in effort to… I don't know, embarrass her or us; but it doesn't matter anymore.

I even hear Suki attempt to stop his blunder but he ignores her as well.

"No no, I have more!" I hear him exclaim but suddenly, I just couldn't take it anymore.

"No, Sokka" I muttered, not bothering to hide my anger at this point, I opened my eyes and noticed the group staring at me; even Sokka seemed caught off guard. I stood up and turned away, turning my head back and saying "You can continue your fun-filled stories without me. I am going for a walk." I state and begin walking away. I hear Katara yell at her brother, but by that time, I was already out of earshot.

I decided to move to the Waterfall that we had seen from above. Seeing the beauty of waterfalls always calmed me; perhaps because of their natural beauty or because it reminded me of Katara. Either way, I would do me good.

I made my way through the forest and very quickly found the waterfall and, just as I had suspected, it was a breathtaking view; the water crashing down from thirty feet in the air down into a shimmering pond. The moonlight reflecting in the ripples of the pond and even shined from the splashes of the waterfall; the area was extremely lit and I began noticing the rest of the natural beauty.

Moving towards the edge of the water, I let out a long heavy sigh to forget about the story at the campfire, and began to twirl my hand. With the smallest of hand motions, I brought up a small amount of water from the shimmering pond and formed it into a sphere.

Clearing my head of all thoughts; almost all thoughts, I began moving my other hand in the opposite motion, creating a sphere of air inside the water. The Air visibly seen circling inside the water, with the water spinning in an opposite direction; looking at my combination of Air and Water I smiled before slashing my hands, dissipating my water air sphere.

Happy with my success, I decided to try something else. I waved my right arm and brought a larger amount of water from the pond, and once again formed it into a larger sphere. Then I created another sphere of air and encased the water, with water being heavier than air, this was more difficult to maintain.

The Air circle spinning opposite the water but I suddenly felt the water getting more and more difficult to maintain within the air current, then it all vanished. The water was still there, still going in the right direction, but I wasn't the one controlling it.

Quickly darting my head to the left, then the right, I saw Katara standing next to me, wordlessly helping me maintain my… well, now, our sphere. I smiled and kept my air current up as she kept the water flowing; it was nice, working together like this. I heard her sigh and she let the water drop as I let my air dissipate.

She turned to me, her right hand across her chest grabbing her left arm as she looked down, smiling but I could see she was upset.

"Aang" she muttered, and I could hear the strain in her voice, so without a second thought I hugged her tight and that was it. That was all she needed as I heard her voice crack and felt trickles of water on my shoulder.

"Shh, Katara, it's okay" I whisper, rubbing her back slowly

After a minute or so of soft sobbing, I hear her regain control, though I still felt her tight grip around me, unwilling to break our embrace. I turn my head and softly kiss her neck, earning a giggle from her.

"I'm sorry about Sokka" she muttered

"Don't be…"

"Well he isn't going to be sorry for a little so I may as well be" she retorted but didn't speak for a moment. Trying to figure out what to say, just as I think to open my mouth, she sighs and brings her head back, looking me in the eyes.

"Was… was what he said true?" she muttered "About how you felt when we met Jet?"

I looked down, my heart heavy but I shook my head "It's in the past"

"No Aang, I really want to know" She pleaded

"Honestly… I was a bit jealous. But at the same time, I thought 'well if she is happy with him, then I can be happy too'… Kinda silly huh?" I chuckled softly and she smiled

"It was a crush, and looking back on it now, I can't believe I didn't see the signs. Of how he really was… of how you felt" she sighed before I took one of my hands and placed it on her cheek

"Like I said, it's in the past. I wouldn't change one thing of the past, even if it has brought us pain, it still brought me you." I admitted, suddenly feeling flushed and looking down

I felt her hand on top of mine on her cheek and I dared to look up, and no sooner had I looked up, her lips found mine; and without even thinking, I returned the kiss and my hand moved from her cheek to her waist. She pulled away a little too quickly but I could see her half-lidded eyes as she glanced at the pond.

"Want to go for a swim… with me?" she asked, and I could see the redness on her face as I smiled and nodded.

Our embrace broke as we each turned from each other. I swam only in my underwear, so it was simple for me to get ready; but suddenly I heard her voice.

"Aang… can you help?" she muttered, I could hear the embarrassment in her voice. Turning around I see her struggling to undo a knot on her back; she was wearing a fire nation dress which was held up by that know, and it seemed to be on a tad too tight.

Smiling I moved to her and placed my hands on hers as she tried to undo the knot. Seeing what exactly needed to be done, I slide my fingers between hers and easily undid it, making sure her hands had hold of it before I let go, I turned back around, giving her the privacy she deserved.

It had been a minute of silence and I was about to ask if she was ready before I saw a pair of beautiful olive arms snake around my neck and I felt Katara's head rest on my shoulder.

"Ready?" She whispered

"Always"

"Race ya" She muttered before quickly releasing me and moving towards the water; though she underestimated an Airbender's speed. I used the lightness of my steps and the air behind me to propel myself in front of her, in essence, cannon-balling into the pond. When I resurfaced I looked up and saw her with her hands on her hips, tapping her foot, but still wearing a smile.

"Cheater!"

"You never said no bending" I pointed out and she rolled her eyes

"In that case" she muttered "Waterbending Bomb!" and she jumped in, the ensuing splash almost reached the tip of the waterfall, but I couldn't really tell as I flopped like a fish in the wave she caused.

When the water finally resettled, I noticed how lit, even the pond was. The gorgeous blue water was clear enough to see down to the bottom, which was illuminated by the moon; which had since went from white to blue.

Slowly spinning in place, watching the water ripples and looking down into the water; basking in the moonlight, I became aware of Katara floating not two feet from me. My eyes moved to her and I almost forgot how to swim; the moonlight glistening off of the water that now coated her body, her arms spread and her feet barely moving to keep her afloat. Even wet, her hair was still beautiful and it was then I saw her eyes.

Her cerulean eyes were fixed on me, and the water and the moonlight seemed to amplify their beauty, as I could see her slowly float towards me, a longing smile on her face. Taking the hint, I helped close the gap and our arms wrapped around each other as our lips met again.

In the midst of our kiss, an idea came to mind and I pulled back, she opened her eyes in question but I placed a finger on her lips to silence her questions.

"Watch this" I whispered, and using Airbending and Waterbending as best I could, I encased us with a thin layer of air and lowered us to the bottom of the pond. The moonlight rays now filtering through the clear water as she looked around in stunned awe.

She had traveled underwater in a similar manner, but the beauty of the area was… mesmerizing to say the least.

"How long can we stay under here?" She asked

"Five or so minutes, and guess what?" I whispered, closing closer to her

"What?"

"I can mutli-task" I whispered, closing the gap between our lips again; concentrating just enough to maintain our bubble, but wasting no time in running my tongue across her lips.

She didn't miss a beat as she allowed access, returning the kiss with a smile; and I felt her tongue eagerly meet mine as our grips around each other tightened. It was a feeling I never wanted to share with anyone but her as our tongues danced and even with both of us being in nothing but undergarments, there was no awkwardness and definitely no remembering the campfire we had left.

I pulled back from the kiss just a tad and before she could protest, my lips found her jawline, causing her to giggle. I traced from her jawline to her neck and softly planted kisses along the way as I heard her sigh happily. I felt daring and traced from her neck to her collar bone, earning an unexpected gasp from her then quickly followed by a sound of approval.

Kissing along her collar bone from right to left, then back up to her neck, and finally her lips once more; pecking them softly and biting her lower lip as she just smiled.

"I love you Aang" She whispered, closing her eyes "Spirits, I love you" she muttered and I smiled

"I love you" I answered back softly before kissing her one last time "We have to go up"

She sighed but nodded, tightening her grip to me, I raised us back up to the surface, which to both of our great delight, was still empty save us. Unwilling to let her go, we floated, our heads on each other's shoulders and our bodies pressed together.

My eyes trailed the ripples and followed up the waterfall and a new idea sprung to mind; I turned my head and kissed her neck again, then found her lips and she happily returned the kiss. When we broke it, our foreheads rested against each other and we smiled.

"Want to go for a ride down the Waterfall?" I asked, knowing she would say yes.

"On what?" she asked, and my assumption of an immediate yes was shot.

"You'll see" I whispered, and she smiled, nodding.

I climbed out of the pond then held out my hand for her and she took it. We walked around the pond and found a small trail leading up; taking it, and walking slowly, hand in hand, we made our way up.

"You know… Aang?" I heard Katara whisper

"Hmm?"

"Not saying right now, but later… or whenever… uh" I heard her fumble and I squeezed her hand reassuringly as she sighed "I just want you to know… I only want to be with you."

Fighting off the goofiest grin I imagine I've ever had, oh, and fighting off the beat red blush I'm sure was apparent; I smiled and looked to her. She was redder than I was, looking down at our hands.

"And I only want to be with you, Katara" I replied as we made our way up

She sighed, smiling but her eyes closed as we walked "But, this sounds soooo dumb" she groaned

"What does?"

"Why me?"

"Why not you?" I asked, smiling, remembering a similar conversation

"You could have anyone, just, why me?" She asked and I stopped, facing her and grabbing her other hand.

"The moment we just shared under the water, the moment we shared on top of Appa not a day ago; and the countless moments before are things I would never ever want to do with anyone else. You are my forever girl" I muttered, remembering the daydream I had when I was suffering insomnia.

Her face lifted and she planted a kiss on my lips before smiling "Maybe I ask those kinds of questions just to get you to say things like that" she muttered against my lips.

"Things like what?"

"Things that make my heart skip a beat" she answered softly, brusher her lips and nose to mine.

I quickly pecked her again before we started walking once more. We finally reached to top and the lake on top was almost as gorgeous as the pond down below. The water just as clear and smooth, we moved towards the entrance from the lake to where the flow for the waterfall began and got in the water.

I moved her in front of me and, with our bodies pressed together, we moved into the mouth of the entrance; the current quickly picking us up, I felt her tense and start to waterbend before I grabbed her wrist

"Trust me" I whispered and she nodded as we launched from the tip and down into the pond below. Using Airbending I created a small air current that separated us from the waterfall and also slowed our descent, when we reach the connecting waters, the flow of air bounced us from going underwater and skidded us to the center of the pond before I dissipated it, allowing us to sink back into the water.

"That was fun" She muttered, turned around and facing me again

"Just a random though I had." I admitted

"Well I love your random thoughts, staying with you, like this… I've almost completely forgotten about that dumb campfire."

"Being with you, even at my worst, you bring out my best. All the anger I felt over that is gone" I admitted, kissing her softly

"We should still get back at him"

I shrugged "Revenge has never been my strong suit" I muttered, resting our foreheads together, looking into her eyes as she bit her lip

"Fine, but then…" she whispered, moving her lips closer "let's forget about it some more" she muttered as I felt her breathe tickle my lips before she closed the gap.

"I like that idea" I whispered against her lips as our arms once again snaked around each other as we floated in the water.

This time, she beat me too it and I felt her tongue against my lips, allowing her instant access as our tongues met again, floating in the pool I felt her legs wrap around mine as our bodies became inseparable. Our tongues continuing their dance, first in her mouth then in mine; her ours tightening around me as mine tightened around her, all sound vanished.

There was only the sound of the waterfall, and the sound of her breath for me to hear; I tightened my grip even more, unwilling to ever let her go as we danced almost motionlessly in the pond. My mind blank as I could only think of whom I was with, my forever girl was mine.

We stayed like that for quite a while, soaking in the moonlight, the water and each other before we both got tired of maintaining our surface in the pond. My arms still around her, I air bended us to the edge where our cloths were, but instead of getting dressed again, I bundled my cloths into a small ball and laid down, resting my head on them and patting the soft grass next to me. Taking the hint, she smiled and did the same, our sides pressed against each other as we lay on the grass, staring at the moon.

I felt her right hand travel across my chest as she leaned towards me, kissing me again, and wrapping both of my arms again around her waist; she straddled me once again, her wet hair dangling around our heads as we kissed softly. Suddenly she pulled away, looking up.

"You know, if Sokka found us like this, I'm sure he would try to kill you"

"How's that any different than usual?"

"Well, you're only wearing your underwear. I'm only in my undergarments and I'm on top of you; to the eye of one such as my brother, it looks… bad" she said, fighting a small laugh

"Do you think it's bad?"

She paused and looked around before looking back down to me and kissing me again before pulling back "No, I don't. I like it a lot."

"Me too" I whispered, moving one of my hands from her waist to the back of her neck, pulling her down for another kiss "This is one of those moments I mentioned before" I muttered against her lips and I could feel her laugh

"I can't wait for many more like this, Aang" she whispered, letting her body fall gently on top of me, her head on my shoulder and her arm on my chest.

Smiling and looking towards the right, I kissed her forehead as she looked up to me "You don't have to wait long, Katara… we've got the rest of our lives" I muttered, blushing and looking at her.

She crawled up and kissed me on the lips "That is one of those things I love to hear you say, the ones that take my breathe away"

Her lips found mine again and we kissed for a minute before she stopped and looked back up towards the moon; my arms around her as her breathing went heavy and lite when I took my eyes from the moon and found hers. She had fallen asleep under the full blue moon, and in my arms; all the problems of the night forgotten and replaced with this memory, one we'd never soon forget.

I love the reviews, the favorites and the followers I am getting; keep them up, I love them all, you guys are awesome.
