-Chapter 9- Moon Festival -part2

"Guys, I'm gonna go take a walk..." Katara said quietly. She stood up and headed away from the beach and into town, without even saying 'good bye'.

"Is she ok?" Siara asked as they watched Katara walk away.

"Well..." Tanya started, "...I, uh... I don't know. Maybe she just needs some time alone..." Actually, Tanya knew very well what was wrong with Katara... The only thing on the young Waterbender's mind was, of course, Aang.

Sokka and Siara looked at eachother and shrugged.

-------

Katara was making her way down the street, thinking to herself. Should I ask Aang to go to the Moon Festival with me tonight? If I don't, then I would probably be the only person there without a date, and that would stink. But what would Aang say? What if he doesn't like me? And what if Sokka found out? Then he'd tease me for the rest of my life! She sighed heavily as she continued on down the street, heading for really no place in particular.

"Hey, Katara!" someone shouted. Startled, Katara looked behind her to see Aang waving at her. He then motioned for her to walk over to him.

"Hi, Aang," Katara muttered nervously as she approached her friend. "What's up?"

"Well," Aang started, now staring at his feet. "I was wondering if you would like to... go to the Moon Festival with me tonight? I mean... I don't have a date, and-"

"I'D LOVE TO!" Katara blurted, without even thinking first. "I mean... That sounds, er... nice." Her face turned bright red with embarrassment. Why did I have to open my big mouth like that?

Aang's expression turned into his trademark smile. "Ok, great!" he exclaimed. "I'll see you later, then!" Aang suddenly turned and walked away.

"Good bye," Katara whispered, but not nearly loud enough for Aang to hear. She turned around in the direction she was heading in the first place and continued her little walk. Aang asked ME! she thought with a smile.

-------

Sokka, Siara, and Tanya were still at the beach, gazing out into the ocean, being as bored as humanly possible. "So," Siara sighed. "What do you guys wanna do now?"

Sokka and Tanya looked at her and opened their mouths as if to say something, but before anyone could get out a reply, they heard a voice. "Hey, Tanya."

The three turned around and saw an attractive young man, about Tanya's age. He was tall, muscular, and his brown eyes matched his long, brown hair. From the looks of it, any girl would have considered him handsome. "Hi Rick!" Tanya exclaimed as she stood up with a jolt. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Sokka and Siara looked at eachother and snickered loudly.

Tanya then broke from the kiss and looked at the other two teens. "Guys, this is Rick. Rick, this is my younger cousin, Siara, and her boyfriend, Sokka."

Siara blushed and Sokka kissed her cheek, as if to show off the fact that she was his girlfriend. "Hey," Rick said smoothly.

Sokka and Siara waved. "So, this is your boyfriend," Siara said, trying to tease her cousin. Tanya smiled.

"Guys, it's getting kinda late," Tanya mentioned. "Siara, I think it's time we got ready for tonight..."

Siara stood up beside her cousin, and gave Sokka a flirty smile, that made him slightly blush. "Ok, then," Siara said. "We'll be back!" She and Tanya headed off in the direction of their room.

-------

Sokka, Aang, and Rick were waiting outside of Siara's room. All the girls decided to get ready in there.

"Jeeze, what's taking them so long?" Aang asked impatiently. Apparently, he couldn't wait to see Katara in her brand new dress she'd just recently bought.

Sokka walked up to the door where the four girls were dressing, and knocked loudly. "Are you guys done in there?" he asked, in the same impatient tone.

"Just a minute, Sokka!" Siara replied with a slight giggle. Actually, all the girls were laughing. The boys assumed it was probably just girl-talk, or something.

Then the door opened, and Suki came out first. She had on a long, light green dress with spaghetti-straps. Her white warrior make-up was washed off, and replaced with a touch of dark eye-shadow, and a slight bit of lip stick. "You look great, Suki," said a voice.

Suki's face lit up, and she ran into the arms of the person who said those words. "Thank you, Jet!" she replied as she kissed him lightly on the cheek. Sokka remembered what Siara had said earlier, and tried to ignore them. It didn't exactly work, though, because he glared at Jet for what seemed like the longest time. Lucky for him, Jet and Suki had already walked off, heading for the festival.

The door opened again, and Tanya stepped outside. She had on a dark, forest-green dress with the long sleeves that showed her bare shoulders. Her long, black hair was pulled back neatly in a bun with chop sticks, and she had on a thick coat of eye liner, that made her big brown eyes look even bigger. Her lips were painted a dark maroon.

Rick walked up to her and took her by the hand, "Tanya, you look geourgous."

Tanya smiled. "Thank you," she replied. "And you don't look so bad yourself!" she added in a very flirty tone.

The next to exit the room was Katara. "All done!" she exclaimed. She was wearing a long, beautiful, pail blue dress that had straps that tied around the back of her neck, with a darker blue sash around her waist. Her hair was in it's usual braid, but now a shiny blue ribbon was barided in with it. Aang walked up to her. "That dress looks really pretty on you, Katara," he muttered nervously.

Katara blushed. "Um, thanks, Aang!" Then she walked up to her brother. "Hey Sokka, you're gonna flip when you see Siara!" she stated, starting to snicker.

"Yeah," Tanya added. "She looks really pretty in her dress!"

"Uh..." Sokka muttered, his cheeks turning red.

"Come on out Siara!" Katara shouted as she faced the door. "Your boyfriend is dieing to see you!"

Sokka blused an even deeper crimson color. "Katara!" he groaned.

The door slowly creaked open, and out stepped Siara. Sokka stared at her, his eyes as wide as the could go and his mouth hung open. Oh my god... she looks so... WOW... Siara was wearing a strappless navy blue dress that just reached slightly passed her knees, the hems ever so lightly outlined in gold. It amazed Sokka at how the dress hugged Siara's small frame the way it did. She was wearing a bit of eye liner and mascara, and her eye lids were slightly painted gold, causing her emerald green eyes to sparkle. What was really different, though, was that her hair was out of it's usual poney tail. It was now flowing down past her shoulders in amber waves. And she truly did look beautiful. "So..." Siara started, spinning around in her dress, as if to model it for everyone, "...What do ya think?"

Sokka still couldn't take his eyes off her. "Y-you look... so... so..." he sputtered, still trying to find the right words to fit Siara's discription, "...amazing."

Siara walked up to him and kissed his cheek. "Thanks, Sokka," she whispered in his ear.

"So, what are we waiting for?" Tanya asked. "Let's go!"

The three couples made their way to the Moon Festival, each guy holding their girl's hand (which really made Katara blush, by the way).

-------

"Wow... This does look fun!" Katara said excitedly. There were all kinds of stands in every which way, music playing, a huge dance floor, and places to eat. Not to mention people were everywhere.

"It is!" Tanya replied. "So, where to first?"

"I know what I'm gonna do!" Sokka shouted as he grabbed Siara's hand and pulled her towards one of the food stands.

Aang and Katara looked at eachother and laughed. "What do you wanna do, Katara?" Aang asked hopefully and excitedly.

Katara smiled at him. "Well, how about we just look around, and if we see something fun, we'll do it!"

"Ok, then!"

-------

"Mmm!" Sokka muttered, his mouth full of desert. "Who would have thought chocolate cake here would taste so good?"

Siara smiled and took another big bite out of the delicious chocolate cake she and Sokka were sharing. "Mmm hmm!" she agreed, and then took the last bite.

"So... where do you wanna go next?" Sokka asked.

Siara thought a moment. "Let's catch up with Aang and Katara and see what they're doing," she replied. "Maybe Aang won her a prize, or something!" The two teens snickered, and took off to find Aang and Katara.

"Hey guys!" Aang said happily as he saw Sokka and Siara approaching him.

"Hi!" Siara said. "What've you guys been up to?"

"Well," Katara started shyly, "Aang won me this by knocking down some bottles..." She then held up a good-sized stuffed bear.

Sokka and Siara looked at eachother and giggled. "Told ya so!" she whispered in his ear.

Katara looked at them suspiciously. "What was that all about?" she asked.

"We figured he would win you something..." Sokka muttered, as if he were trying to make his sister blush. And it worked.

Katara glared at her brother. "I don't see you winning anything for Siara!" she spat.

Then it was Sokka's turn to blush. "Well, I, uh..."

"What did I tell ya?" Katara snapped. "Now we're gonna go dance, we'll see you guys later!" She and Aang headed off in the direction of the dance floor.

Sokka glared at Katara as she walked away. But the expression on his face softened as he felt Siara wrap her arms around his neck. "You don't have to win me anything," she whispered, and then gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. "Now, let's go!" she shouted exctiedly as she grabbed Sokka's hand and ran to the gigantic dance floor.

"Hey, Siara!" someone shouted once they got there. Siara turned around to see Tanya motioning for them to come.

"Hey, Tanya," Siara said as she and Sokka walked up to her cousin, who was holding hands with Rick.

"You two little love-birds having a good time so far?" Tanya teased as she noticed Sokka had his arm wrapped around Siara's waist.

Siara smiled. "Yup! What about you two?"

Tanya answered by giving her boyfriend a long kiss, smack on the lips, which turned out to be a big lip-wrestle party after a while. Siara looked at Sokka and rolled her eyes. "I'm not related to her, I swear!" she muttered innocently.

Sokka laughed and Tanya and Rick broke from their kiss. "I dunno, Siara," Tanya started. "From the way I've seen you kiss him, I'd say you take after me in every way!"

Siara blushed. "HOW'D YOU KNOW I'VE KISSED SOKKA?" she asked, feeling bothered by all the generated heat on her cheeks.

Tanya laughed. "Don't think I didn't see you guys lip-sucking eachother earlier on my walk to the beach. How could I not know?"

Siara continued to blush. "Um..."

"But... well...uh... she's a GOOD kisser!" Sokka added, as if to defend Siara.

Tanya and Rick looked at eachother and grinned. "Whatever you say, Sokka..." Tanya muttered. Then they noticed the music slow down into a different song.

"Would you like to dance, Tanya?" Rick asked politely as he offered Tanya his hand.

"Of course," the older girl replied as she took his hand and walked onto the dance floor.

Sokka stood there nervously, gazing at Siara. She looks so... amazing... "Um, Siara... Do you wanna dance with me?" he asked hopefully.

Siara smiled at him warmly. "I would love to," she said as she took his hand and followed him onto the dance floor.

There, they noticed Aang and Katara were dancing together, both looking embarrassed as ever. They also saw Tanya and Rick dancing and, as usual, making out.

Sokka held Siara close to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and they began swaying with the music, just like everyone else. "You look beautiful, Siara," Sokka said.

"Thanks," Siara replied. "Um, Sokka...?" Siara started quietly.

"Yeah?"

"I don't know if we should be dancing like this... I mean, I really like dancing with you and everything... But, what if Suki sees us-"

"I don't care if she sees us," Sokka whispered in Siara's ear sweetly. "I don't care if she has a problem with me loving you."

Siara thought a moment, and then smiled. "Neither do I."

The two teens gazed into eachother's eyes for what seemed like hours, although it was only for a few minutes. "I love you," Sokka said softly, breaking the long silence.

"I love you too," Siara whispered in the same soft tone. And without another word, Sokka pulled her into a long, sweet kiss. But little did they know, a teenage warrior girl, who happened to be Siara's best friend, was watching them, an empty wine bottle in her hand. Apparently she's had too much to drink that night at the festival...
