Aang woke up in a bed. He then remembered he was finally back with his friends. The people who he fought for and cared about most. The only family on earth he had. Aang sat up and put his clothes on. He walked into the kitchen of the house. From what he could see none of his friends were up yet.
"I guess I am alone for now" Aang thought to himself.
He walked over to the pantry and found some fruit. He munched on it and sat on the couch.
"I want to do something special with Katara today. It seems like forever since we have been together and I want to show her how much I still love her" he thought to himself.
Aang walked to a desk and bulled out a piece of parchment and a brush. He wrote a note asking Katara to meet him at Iroh's Teahouse at noon.
"That will give me time to explore the city a little bit. I can also spend some time with Appa. I haven't had alone time with him for a while and he would probably like a small flight. I hope he is okay. He was burned in the fight with Ozai." Aang thought to himself.
He walked up to Katara's room. He tacked the note to her door and then walked out the house. He walked through the streets of the metropolis. He was greeted by many civilians. Most were glad to see him back.
"Hey Ku…Aang!" he heard a familiar voice call. He turned his head and saw On Ji.
"Hey On Ji" Aang said approaching her.
"Wow you look different without hair. Who would of thought goofy Kuzon from school was the avatar" On Ji said.
"Sorry for not telling you. I had to keep a low profile" Aang said.
"All those stories people tell of about you, like fighting pirates and scamming people, are those true?" she asked.
"Yeah" Aang said.
"You must have had so many amazing adventures" On Ji said.
"Yeah" he said.
"I have to go but maybe we could hang out some time" On Ji said.
"Yeah cool. See ya" Aang said continuing to walk. Aang walked a little bit before reaching the stables where Appa was resting. Usually he would stay in the yard of their house but it had rained the previous night so he was staying there to keep warm. Aang walked in and saw his bison. He noticed some patches in Appa's coat but he looked well.
"Those patches must be from the attacks by Ozai. I am glad Katara did such a good job healing him. Those patches will grow back" Aang thought.
"Hi Buddy" Aang said running up to Appa. Appa grunted and licked him. Aang hugged him.
"It's good to see you too" Aang said to his animal guide.
Aang hopped on Appa.
"Do you wanna go for a ride?" Aang asked the bison. He heard a grunt for a reply and Appa walked out into the street.
"Yip Yip" Aang said.
Appa took off and soured around the city. Aang was happy to be back in the sky, his natural element. He sat on Appa's head and enjoyed the cool breeze that blew through his face. The duo landed near lake Laogai. Aang saw kids playing in the sand. He walked over.
"Can I join" Aang asked.
"The Avatar!?" one kid said surprised.
"I am a kid too" Aang said.
"Alright cool" said the oldest looking boy. He looked around Aang's age.
"We are bending a sand castle" one of the younger boys said.
"Watch this" Aang said.
Aang stomped his feet a couple of times and a large sand castle appeared. It was big enough for them all to fit in.
"Awesome" another boy said before running in.
They played and had fake battles. Aang made all the bending effects and didn't mind because he enjoyed playing with kids his age. He looked up and saw the sun three quarters to its peak.
"I have to go guys" Aang said.
"What really?" the younger boy said.
"Yeah I have to meet my girlfriend" Aang said.
"Oh okay" another boy said disappointed.
"I'll come back sometime" Aang said before heading back to Appa who was laying on his back on the beach.
"Come on buddy. I have to meat Katara" Aang said. He jumped on Appa and said," Yip Yip"
The bison took off and they headed back to the house. They landed in the back.
Aang started walking and then spotted a flower vender.
"I should get Katara some flowers" Aang thought.
He walked over to the vendor.
"Could I have a bouqet of Panda Lilies" Aang asked.
"Sure that will be a copper piece" the vendor said.
"Oh crap I hope my body carried money while I was gone" Aang thought as he reached into his sash.
He found a copper piece and handed it to the vendor. He grabbed the flowers and looked up to the sky. The sun was almost to peak.
"Good thing I had money. The jasmine dragon isn't far from here. I am running out of time and Katara won't like it if I am late" Aang thought.
Aang then took off running down the street using his air bending to run at unreal speed. People were blown away literally by Aang's speed. He made it to the Tea shop with not a second to spare. By some miracle he managed not to ruin the flowers. He stood at the steps for two seconds before seeing his girlfriend turn a corner coming toward.
"Hey Katara" he called to her.
Her face immediately lit up and she ran to him.
"Hey Aang" She said happily before giving him a hug.
"Good to see you too" Aang said ending the embrace.
"So what are we doing today" Katara asked.
"I dunno. I just wanted to spend time with you. We will do whatever you want to do" Aang said.
"Let's go do some water bending practice. We haven't done that forever" Katara said.
The couple walked a little bit until they found a large fountain.
"I don't the city will mind if we water bend here" Katara said.
"And even if they don't I don't think they want to argue with the Avatar" Aang said chuckling.
They stripped down to their bathing gear and waded into the fountain. They started with a warm up.
"Hey Aang how about a duel" Katara said.
"A duel?" Aang said.
"Yeah come on" Katara said with a puppy dog face that Aang couldn't resist.
"Okay" Aang said trying not to sound like he would do anything for her.
She grinned and they started to duel. They attacked with different forms of water bending. Aang was tempted to use his other elements but didn't. Katara then took an octopus stance. The tendrils started to attack and Aang dodged them. He then felt a tendril tickle him. He started to laugh.
"Kata…Katara… no fair" he said between laughs. He lost his footing and fell into the water. He then surfaced and tried to make himself look angry.
"No fair you cheated" he said but his fake anger wasn't that good.
"Too bad. All is fair in love and war" Katara said.
Aang then formed an idea. He used Katara's drop in stance to use a tendril of water to bring her close. He then kissed her. She was caught off guard but enjoyed the kiss. They held it for a while and then they parted for air. Katara laid her head in the Avatar's chest.
"That wasn't fair. Kissing isn't allowed in a duel" she mumbled into his chest.
"All is fair in love and war" Aang whispered into her ear. He started to laugh and she giggled. They stood in the middle of fountain embracing each other and laughing. To bystanders they looked crazy.
"Aang people are staring at us" Katara said.
"I don't blame them. It isn't every day you see the avatar and his girlfriend drenched in a fountain laughing like maniacs" Aang said.
"Let's go" Katara said stepping out the fountain.
"Where do you want to go" Aang said following her.
They used water bending to dry off and then put their clothes on.
"I know a place to go near the house" Katara said.
"Okay" Aang said.
Their hands wound together and they walked down the now crowded streets of Ba Sing Se. They came to one of the inner walls.
"Hey when did that happen" Aang said referring to the tunnels in the walls that now allowed people from any ring to go anywhere
"Your body did some work on this city. He said that you had ideas for the city and spent time trying to get them accomplished. He had tunnels put in the walls to allow diversity. He also got the earth king to create a non corrupt police force" Katara said.
"Yeah I was thinking of those things" Aang said.
The couple continued walking until they reached a hill. They started to walk up it and they reached a ledge. They sat down and gazed at the sight before them. They were looking over the entire city.
"It's beautiful" Katara said.
"Not as beautiful as you" Aang said.
Katara blushed and looked into his grey eyes. She smiled knowing she was finally back with her.
"Aang promise you won't leave me again" Katara said.
"Katara you know I can't promise that. I am the avatar and I have duties…" he started.
"I'm sorry Aang that was selfish of me" she said sadly.
"I didn't finish. I will have to leave but I promise I will always come back to you. I promise I will be there win you need me and our love won't die. We'll always be together inside" Aang said.
Tears started to form in Katara's eyes and she kissed him. They sat together for a while in silence, each of them enjoying the other's company.
"Do you like kids" Katara asked Aang randomly.
"Kids…uh yeah. Why?" Aang asked.
"I don't know. You are the natural last air bender. Teo is an air bender but we don't know if his bending will be hereditary" Katara said.
"What does that have to do with… oh yeah" Aang said realizing what she meant. He immediately started to blush. Katara started blush too.
"Yeah I like kids. I guess I have to have kids with whoever I marry" Aang said.
"And what if this girl doesn't want kids" Katara said.
"Then I won't make her do something she doesn't want to do. I'll find another way" Aang said.
"Well I am okay with kids" Katara said.
"I just hope my wife will tell me as soon as she knew" Aang said.
"Well what is she going to do? Hide it for nine months? She walk up and say when she is nine months pregnant that I am having your baby" Katara said.
Aang heard a noise behind him and he turned around and that was the last thing he heard before it happened.
15 minutes earlier:
Sokka was walking through the streets of the city. He was going to his favorite ledge. It had the best view and the trees had the sweetest fruit.
"Too bad Suki doesn't want to go with me. She is mad because she thinks I care more about the fruit than her and she doesn't want to go so she could be neglected for fruit. I guess I have to go alone. Zuko and Mai are too busy planning their wedding and Aang and Katara disappeared. Teo and Toph also mysteriously disappeared. I wonder what they are up to" Sokka thought as he came to the base of the hill.
Ten minutes later he reached the top of the hill. He started looking around for some fruit. He found a tree with a lot of ripe fruit.
"Jackpot" he said to himself.
He climbed the tree and picked some fruit. He started gobbling down many of the sweet fruits. He climbed down. He still had bits of fruit in his mouth. He turned to head to see the view he liked. He went around a tree and then heard voices. He saw Aang and Katara sitting and talking.
"that I am having your baby" he heard his sister say loudly. His jaw dropped.
"I am going to kill that kid" Sokka said.
Sokka charged down the hill. Aang turned his head but couldn't react quick enough. He was tackled by Sokka and they rolled to the edge of the cliff.
"SOKKA!?" Katara yelled.
"What are you doing" Aang asked.
"You impregnated my sister!" Sokka yelled at him.
"WHAT!?" Aang yelled back. Before anyone could do anything else the ledge gave way to the two boys weight and they went tumbling down the cliff. Sokka let go of Aang and Sokka fell into a tree hanging off the side of the cliff. Aang tumbled down the cliff not being able to bend his way out of it. Anytime he was about to bend he would hit some trees or rocks. Then Aang's head went through a sharp rock and he lost consciousness. He crashed onto the ground hard. Katara came running down the ledges and made her way to Aang.
"Aang!" She called to him.
She took water from her seal and started healing the injury on his head. Aang stayed unconscious but his breathing stabilized.
"Hey what about me" Sokka yelled.
Katara turned around and water whipped him in the face. She then used the water to cut the tree. Sokka crashed down on the ground.
"OW!" Sokka yelled but Katara was already carrying Aang off toward the house.
"Hey wait up" Sokka yelled scrambling after her.
Katara got back to the house in minutes. Zuko and Mai were on the couch writing the guest list and Suki was drinking some juice.
"Aang!?" Zuko said.
Katara walked in and laid his body on the couch.
"What happened?" Suki asked concerned.
"Sokka happened" Katara said.
"Is he okay?" Mai asked.
"His breathing is okay but he hit his head pretty hard. I think with some rest he will be fine" Katara said,
Sokka then busted into the room. He looked at his friends and saw their death glares.
"I will find Toph and Teo" he said walking out the house.
"Hey get back here. We need to talk" Suki said trailing after Sokka.
Aang lay on the couch and soon all his friends were surrounding him. They were anxious to see him okay. He started to twitch.
"He's waking up" Katara said.
Aang's eyes started to open and he sat up.
Sokka then punched him in the stomach.
"What was that for" Aang asked.
"Messing with my sister" Sokka said.
"Sokka I am not having Aang's baby. You miss heard" Katara said before punching him.
"WHAT!? You think…Where's the earth king!!??" Aang yelled.
"What!?" Sokka said.
"Where is Azula and the Dai Li? Long Feng? Chukras guru, Appa" Aang said spurting out words.
"He's delusional" Zuko said.
"ZUKO!?" Aang said before air bending the fire lord into a wall and ceiling him in an earthy prison. Then he sealed Mai as well.
"Aang what are you doing?" Toph asked.
"Run guys its Zuko. I will hold him off" Aang said.
"Calm down Zuko isn't going to hurt you" Sokka said.
"Are you crazy he has been trying to capture me for like a year" Aang said.
"Aang what is the last thing you remember" Katara asked.
"We were in the catacombs of Ba sing Se. Zuko and Azula were fighting Katara and I. Then the Dai Li showed up. I went into the avatar state and then…I…I went down" he said with surprised.
"Huh" Suki said confused.
"I went down. I died. But you saved me" He said to Katara.
"Uh oh" Katara said.
"He's got amnesia" Sokka said.
"What amnesia!?" Aang said confused.
"Aang a lot has happened since then" Sokka said.
"How long have been out? What happened?" Aang asked.
"I don't know you just mastered the elements and the avatar state and then defeated the fire lord" Sokka said.
"What!? That didn't happen yet" Aang said.
"Yeah it did. You beat him and now you're dating Katara" Sokka said.
"Wait I am dating Katara" Aang said.
"Uh yeah" Katara said.
"sweet" Aang said.
Sokka rolled his eyes.
"How come I don't remember any of this and why are Teo and Suki here?" Aang said.
"Suki is here to date me. Teo is here to make gushy faces at Toph" Sokka said before getting punched by Suki.
Teo turned bright red and Toph sent Sokka reeling into a wall.
"About an hour ago you and Katara were doing boyfriend girl friend things and then Sokka knocked you out" Zuko said from his cage.
"Wait why did Sokka do that?" Aang asked ignoring Sokka's comments.
"He thought Katara was having your baby" Toph said.
Aang's eyes turned wide and he started to blush. "That isn't true right" Aang said cautiously.
"No" Katara said.
Aang sighed in relief.
"What should I do now" Aang said.
"Let me out" Zuko said from the earth cage. Toph kicked her foot and it came down.
"We should help Aang get his memory back. Like we did with Jet" Sokka said.
"Yeah we just have to find that one thing that will make him remember" Toph said.
"I know. Katara kiss him" Zuko said.
"That might work. Nice thinking Zuko" Sokka said.
Katara faced Aang. Aang started to get nervous. He didn't remember ever kissing Katara didn't know what to do. Before he could think he felt a pair of lips crash into his own. Aang felt the most spectacular feeling he had ever had. He started to remember the sensation. Katara looked away and Aang looked dazed.
"Whoa" he said.
"Uh… Remember anything" Suki asked.
Aang snapped back to reality.
"I uh, kinda remember that feeling but don't know if it is real. They are really blurry memories" Aang said.
"Okay what is it?" Zuko asked.
"I remember being on some kind of boat. Just me and Katara and then that happened" Aang said.
"The invasion he is remembering the kiss from the invasion" Katara said.
"Yeah we were at the invasion. Sokka's invasion plan. Submarines and Appa had armor and our friends showed up" Aang said.
"What else do you remember?" Sokka asked.
"You can't do public speaking and I couldn't sleep the week before. I went to a fire nation school and Katara became the painted lady. That crazy three eyed guy came after us. His name was uh…"
"Combustion man" Sokka said.
"Yeah" Aang said.
"That isn't his name" Zuko said.
"Who cares." Sokka said.
"So that was it. We won the war at the invasion" Aang said.
"Uh no" Suki said.
"Oh" Aang said.
"I have another idea" Zuko said.
"What?" Sokka asked.
"Aang dance with me" Zuko said.
"What why" Aang said still not completely trustful of Zuko.
"Come on Aang" Zuko said.
Aang looked at Katara who nodded and he walked up to Zuko.
"What dance are we doing?" Aang asked.
"The dancing dragon. You should remember it somewhere deep down" Zuko said.
Zuko took his stance and Aang copied it. Zuko started move and Aang copied a step behind. He started to pick up on it and part of him knew what to do. He finished and a fireball shot out his hands.
"Whoa I can fire bend" Aang said surprised.
"Zuko did teach you" Mai said.
"Wait I remember this. We all took field trips with Zuko. Katara found her mother's killer and Sokka found his dad and Suki. Then there was that horrible play where" Aang said but cut off before he could go into his conversation with Katara at the play.
"Now what? Any ideas Zuko" Sokka asked.
"No I am out" Zuko said.
"Come on plan guy this is your moment" Toph said Sokka.
"I'm thinking I'm thinking" Sokka said.
They sat for a while thinking of how to get the last part of Aang's memory back.
Aang started to meditate. He was focusing on all of his memories. He was thinking to himself.
"I don't remember everything but I know I love Katara and that things worked out in the end. I defeated Ozai and didn't even kill him" Aang thought to himself.
" I got it" Sokka said.
"What?" Aang said snapping out of his meditation.
"Aang you got your avatar state when your scar was poked. We should poke it again" Sokka said.
"It's worth try" Suki said.
Zuko went and got a stick and then jabbed Aang in his back. Aang's body cringed as it did when he was hit with the lightning. He felt the cosmic energy in his body pulse when the epicenter of the energy was jabbed. His tattoos started to glow and then he returned to normal.
"I remember" he said happily.
The gang cheered and the friends laughed happily.
