Rating: K+

Aang is going for a walk in Ba Sing Se. He is feeling nervous about proposing to Katara. Aang arrives at the Jasmine Dragon. He sits on a table, faced down and depressed. Zuko walks up to Aang with a menu.

"You all right, Aang?" Zuko asks.

Aang faces Zuko. "No." Aang admits. Zuko sits in front of Aang. "It's just that...today, I want to propose to Katara and...I'm not sure if I could do it. What if she says no?"

Zuko just rolls his eyes. "Look, I think you're overreacting." Aang faces Zuko. "Katara is a great girl. Ever since I joined your group in the Western Air Temple, she couldn't stop talking about you, protecting you and...other stuff. You two have also been a couple for five years. There's no way she'll ever say no."

Aang hesitates. He wants to listen to Zuko but he has...other thoughts. "What is something bad happens? I don't want to ruin it."

"Just relax." Zuko orders. Aang takes a deep breath. "Look, just propose. Nothing bad is gonna happen."

Aang sighs. "Okay, I guess you're right." Zuko pats Aang on the back for some encouragement. Aang gets up and leaves the Jasmine Dragon.

Aang walks down the street, at sunset, he returns to the house he and Katara shares. He walks inside, only to find the house empty. Aang takes a look around the house, then find Kataras out on the balcony.

Aang turns around then takes a deep breath, trying to find some courage. Aang walks out to the balcony. "Hey, Katara."

Katara turns around and smiles to see it's Aang. "Hey, Aang." Aang sits next to Katara on the bench. They both look at the sunset. "It's such a beautiful sunset, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Aang looks at Katara. "But not as beautiful as you." Katara smiles then blushes. Aang wraps his arm around Katara and Katara lays her head on his shoulder. They both sit and watch the sunset.

Aang unders how he's gonna do it, propose. She might say no to him. Aang loves Katara, and he knows Katara loves him. But a proposal is such a big step. Aang looks at Katara. "Uh...Katara." Katara looks at Aang. "Can I ask you...something?"

"Sure." Katara sits up. Aang stands up and soon, Katara does to. "What is it?"

Aang clears his throat. "Uh...Katara. You are an excellent person. You're...sweet, kind, caring, beautiful...We've been through so much, thick and thin, and...I have something very important to ask you." Katara looks a little concern, then Aang gets down on his knees. "Katara, of the southern water tribute." Aang reaches into his pocket then takes out a betrothal neck that's a mix of an air nation and a water nation symbols. "Will you marry me?"

Katara is speechless. Her mouth wide open with her hand covering it. "Oh, Aang." Tears starts coming out of Kataras eyes, then Katara leaps towards Aang and gives him a hug. "Yes! Yes I will marry you!" Aang hugs Katara, smiling. He's glad she said yes. "I've been waiting for so long to ask you to propose."

They disband the hug. "Sorry about that, I was just nervous."

Katara puts a hand on Aangs cheek. "It's okay, I understand." Katara kisses Aang on the cheek.

Aang and Katara kisses each other on the lips, then they go out on a date, celebrate their proposal.
