Chapter 21: Wish upon a star...
By KirariSoldier

Out the window is the rain that blocked my plans "If you're sorry about today, come get me"
I want to say, but it's no use

Though the dreams wished upon a star Come true one by one I can't catch up to you at all

Is today going to end in another three hours?
We can see each other tomorrow, but I just want to hear "good night"
I don't like fighting...

Though the dreams wished upon a star Come true one by one I can't catch up to you at all

If the dreams wished upon a star Come true one by one I want to get the closest to you

We have every day now, but I wish this would continue forever "I don't want to become a memory"

For certain...

Though the dreams wished upon a star Come true one by one I can't catch up to you at all

Since the dreams wished upon a star Come true one by one I want to get the closest to you

I wish we could be together Under a cloudless blue sky

Kawabe Chieko, "Hoshi ni Negai wo", "Wish upon a star"

Katara sat infront of her tri-fold mirrored vanity. "Men are such dolts..." She thought aloud, a disgusted look upon her face. "I know! They sit there on their drunk asses all day and complain about how we never do any thing worth while! And look at them! Ha!" Suki said with a triuphant laugh. Katara gave a slight laugh and a nod of approval as she ran her wodden brush through her long auburn colored mane.

"I need to go and practise my ice skating. Wanna come?" She asked suki as she slipped her wrist bracers on over her cuflets. "Sure, nothing else to do..." Suki replyed as she tied her hair back with deep forest colored ribbon. Today niether woman was wearing much make-up, but only sported eyeliner. "That looks like a great spot!" Katara said gleefuly as she pointed to the place where she had gone ice skating only days before.

Once more, Katara placed on her skates, laced them tight, and waltzed onto the ice. She wondered about for a few minutes, performing remeadial jumps here and there. Wanting to feel what she had not in a long time, she attempted a combonation of a layback spin and a butterfly. She landed it beautufully. "Wow, Katara!" Suki excliamed happily as she too glided onto the ice. "I could never be able to do that!" She said as she attempted a spilt jump, only to fall on her behind.

Katara tried her best to muffle her laugh, only to speed up and perform a perfect split jump. "Wow... I wish I was that good..." Suki said as she rubbed her behind. "All it takes is pratice!" Katara said with a smile as she glided more on the ice. She made a couple more death-defying jumps and spins, even a death drop, then finally decided to call it quits when Suki's no-stop whinning about how cold it was got to her. "Fine, fine! Let's go!" Katara said as she unlaced her skates.

They trodded back to thier tent, only to find Aang and Sokka waiting at the entrance, looking highly vulnerable.
"What happened to you two?" Katara asked as she slipped in the tent. "Gran Gran gaves us a talking too"
Sokka said, trying not to recall the horrible event. "Ha! Serves you right! Talking about us that way!" Katara said with a haughty, 'I'm better that you' tone. "Yea! What she said-" Suki said as pain spiked her back as she sat down.

"What's wrong, Suki?" Sokka asked as he came too. "Me and Katara went ice skating, and let's just say, I will never attempt a spilt jump again..." She said with a faint laugh. "I know! I can't keep up either!" Aang added,
only to make Katara blush. "You guys make it sound like I am some sort of speed demon or somthing..." Katara said as she turned away, sulking. "No, we just suck at ice skating." Sokka said bluntly.

"Yea, yea, what ever." Katara said, slightly annoyed. "Hey! Where are you going!" Aang called to her. "Me? I want some tea, and you people just want to sit and complain, wallow in your misery, so I decided to go alone"
She continued to walk. "Wait!" Aang called to her, "Let's have some tea toghter. Just you and me." He said as he took her hand in his, kissed it. "Okay..." She said, her heart slowly beginging to melt.

They walked hand in hand until they came upon the same eatery in which thier small despute had happened erlier that day. They walked into the eatery, took a place, and order a tea pot of hot green tea with honey. Aang gazed upon Katara, looked deep in her eyes. Thier eyes locked for second, then she quickly drew her eyes away, blushing.
"Why do you blush?" He asked as he tucked her hair behind her ear. "Are you embarresed?" He asked sweetly.
"No... It's not that..." She trailed as she looked out a window. The sun had setted, and it was slowly starting to snow.

'What is it?" He asked as he took her hand. "I was just thinking... When are we going to... um..." She blushed a deeper crimson, adverted her eyes from is gaze. "Get married..." She said with embaressment. "I will get married at any time.
Hell, I would do it now." He said as he tightened his hold on her hands.
