Hi hi! Welcome to chapter 6! A milestone in history for this fic! I am so busy right now, I am surpised that I even have time to post this chapter today. Alas, I will only get 6 hours of sleep tonight, drink coffee and cram for finals tommorrow... The life of a senior in high school... Thanks for over 50 great reviews! And to answer some questions:
1) No. Chapter 5 is not the last chapter! I plan to continue this far many a chapter!
2) I have no idea how long this fic will spawn... Just say it will be around 10-30+ chapters.

It would be nice if we could throw away everything but what is most important;
Reality is just cruel
Whenever I close my eyes you're there,
smiling
Ah- I hope your smiling face is with me until the day I fall into eternal sleep
Are all people sad?
They are forgetful creatures...
For that which you should love,
for that which gives love:
give it your all

Chapter 6: Dearest
"Focus... Breath... And FIRE!" Katara raised her arms above her head, the moved them in circular motion.
A flurry of ice crystals where shot from her palms and then fluttered in the moonlight for a second, and died from being exposed to the tropical heat. She reapted the pharse and motion about five more times, enough to drain energy from even any advenced Water Bender.
"Wow... This is so exhilarating! I love it!" She said as she whiped glistening sweat from her forehead.
"Amazing! You are getting so good!" Aang applauded as he handed her a goblet of fresh spring water. "Thanks!" She said with a wink. "You're not to shabby either! Mr. Avatar." She said as she handed him the goblet and went back to her training.
They had been at the Islands for about 3 weeks. Time to pack up and move on. And run from the fire nation. They had recived word that a fire navy ship had been spotted 150 miles of the coast of Venasuia. Katara and Aang spared for a while, water against air. No one came out victor, but it was fun none-the-less.
Aang, Katara and Sokka left the following morning. Back to a life of flying bicen, running from an enemy nation, and hanging onto life by a thread. "So... where to next?" Katara asked, her eyes sparkled in wonder. "Well... We now that I have mastered water, I think we should head to the Lunar Plains of Elysion. The capitol of the Earth Kingdom. And center of earthbending know-how." He said.
"WOW! The Lunar Plaines! I heard that on a full moon that moonbeams are showered over the plaines and it glitters all night long like a fist full of diamonds! And have you seen the Lunar Festival! I can't wait to get there!" Katara clapped her hands together. "Yeah, I have heard all of that." Aang said looking out over the horizon.
'And the perfect spot for a night of romance...' Aang told himself, schemeing.
"This is going to be so much fun!" She signed happily. "I can't wait..." Sokka mumbled in his usual disgruntled way.
Katara stuck her tounge out at him. "Stop being so lazy and help me cook dinner!" Katara yelled at him, not happy with his attitude.
Sokka rolled his eyes: "All right, all right. Just shut up already." He added.
Katara chopped vegtables, and Sokka bar-b-qued some chiken.
Soon the scent of grilled teriyaki chiken and veggies filled the air, and thier noses.
"What smells so good!" Aang asked with eagerness. "Dinner!" Katara laughed as she searved them and herself.
By nightfall, every had eaten to thier heart's content, and had passed out from full stomachs. All except Aang.
He looked back at his dreaming compainions. Sokka mumbled something about beef odango, and turned in his sleep. Katara was sprawled out over her bedcovers, drooling slightly.
Probably over a dream of Aang. Aang stood, and walked to Katara. "Princess, you should be under your covers..." He said as her moved her covers over her body.
Then suddenly to arms pulled him down.
It was Katara. "Why aren't you asleep?" She whispered into his neck. He gave a slight smile. "Becuase her higness needed to be tucked in." Was all he replyed. Katara giggled softly and placed her lips on his. "Stay with me?" She asked sweetly. Aang nodded and returned her kiss. They tangled thier fingers, and kissed until air was much needed. "I love you so much..." Aang said as he traced the outline of Katara's face with his index finger.
"I love you even more..." She said pulling him into a kiss filled with lust and passion.
"You are true beauty's discription... You look so good that it hurts..." Aang whispered as he smothed her tangled hair.
Katara blushed. Aang settled himself nest to her, and slid under her bed cover. Wrapped in each other's heat and scent, both dosed off into a sweet sleep.
TBC...
