Ziggy's Corner: Okay, chapter seven and the beginning of Katara's tale. Well actually the prelude to her tale, but hey now, I did WARN you all I was going to pull this at the prelude to Sokka, right? RIGHT? Lol okay, on with the story.
Katara looked at the two boys and blushed even more. After all, this would be embarrassing enough between girls, but these were two boys! And one was her brother at that!
"So, go on? Who was the first guy you kissed?" Aang asked.
"Well, it happened a little while ago," she said, rubbing her arms.
"Before or after Aang?" Sokka asked.
She jumped and narrowed her eyes. "I never kissed Aang," she snapped. "Well, except to give him a peck on the cheek for retrieving my necklace from Zuko, but that was all."
"Well at least you didn't kiss Zuko," the boy giggled. There was an odd silence between them, and the girl let out with a high pitched squeak of a laugh, her cheeks so rosy she could have been called the Snow Maiden, granddaughter of Grandfather Frost.
"Wait, it wasn't Zuko, was it?" Sokka screeched, leaping to his feet. She didn't answer him, and the boy nearly tumbled over his feet. "No," he whispered. Now anger was building up within him. "No," he screamed, "how could you?"
"Zuko wasn't my first either, although he was one of the best kisses I've ever had," she said, blushing beyond control. "It was just after the pirates attacked us, and we ran into each other. He wanted to capture me, and we got into a heated argument. One thing lead to another, and before I knew it, we were holding each other and kissing." She giggled and stroked her arms. "He was the only one to give me goose bumps when I kissed him, I don't know what it was, but the three times we kissed. . .," she said slowly.
"You kissed him on three separate occasions?" Sokka yelled, flinging his arms up and down in the air.
Aang was inching further away from the girl, his eyes narrow and full of not quite suspicion, but something else. The girl easily recognized what it was, though Sokka couldn't. Aang looked at Katara the same way that she had looked at him when she found out about Kritana. He was jealous.
"Yeah, I don't know why, but he's the only one of the boy's and men I've kissed that I've ever done more than once. Kissing him always makes my body all tingly."
"Wait, wait, wait," Sokka said, his head batting back and forth. "I can't believe I'm hearing this. You actually kissed a man too?"
"We were all wearing disguises, and Zhao was right on our trail. If I hadn't grabbed the monster, and kissed him when I did, he would have caught Aang," she said, sick to her stomach at the though of her lips being on Zhao's.
"Oh I'm going to barf," Sokka said, his knees buckling.
"But when Zuko kissed me, my hold body grew tense, and a felt a warm tingling all over," she said with a smile, glad she was driving her brother a little batty.
"Now I know I'm going to barf," he groaned, looking away.
"Is there anyone you haven't kissed?" Aang asked, his face turning a pale salad green.
"Well, you and Sokka, sure," she giggled.
"What, so like you kissed Suki too I guess?" her brother raged.
The girl rolled her eyes and sighed, "Oh yes Sokka, while you and Aang were busy fighting off the Fire Nation, Suki and I snuck off and made out." She looked at her brother and groaned. "I'm being sarcastic by the way."
"So, then aside from this kissing marathon you've decided to embark on after we've begun our adventure, who in the world was the very first guy you kissed?" Sokka growled.
"It was even later than your kiss … if you've even told the truth, Sokka," she said with a twinkle in her eyes. "About a week after we left after we left Omashu. Unlike Suki, you did get to meet my first kiss, and in fact, helped me to get to the point of the kiss."
Sokka raised an eyebrow and blinked stupidly. "I helped you get your first kiss?"
"You and Aang, without the two of you, I would have never been put in the situation I was in, to kiss him." She said, taking pleasure in their guessing faces.
"So, then who was it?" Aang asked, scratching his bald head. He was still fuming at what she had said about Zuko, what did that fire prince have that he didn't? What was so amorous about him?
Katara giggled and shook her head, "Still can't guess yet?"
"Who was it?" the boys snapped in unison.
"Well, then I guess I have no choice," she said with a sigh, raising to her feet and stretching.
"Wait, wait, where are you going?" Sokka whined.
"Just going to pull an Aang while the two of you think about it," Katara giggled. "Be back in a little while!" And with that, she left the two of them to do their guess work.
HA! I told you I was going to do this! But it's for a good reason! I planted the clues, can you all figure out this girl's first kiss? For all you Zutaka lovers out there, I hope her words about his kisses made you happy. LOL I even put in some Zhataka into it too, though she hated his kiss, and as you read earlier, Jetaka. Hopefully I have not created a new element to her romances with the joke about her and Suki! shudders Ew gross. But it could be that thanks to me a branch called Katuki romances might start. makes the sign of the cross that it does not happen.
But the question remains, who was this girl's very, absolute first KISS? It will be interesting to see what you all think and come up with! I plan to update with the last three chapters sometime between December-February, depending on if I update in November or December. I believe it will be December, so that means you will have to wait for Katara's story (chapters 8 & 9) and the final chapter (chapter 10) either in January or February. Until then, see you later! The great big meanie, out!
And now we have tied for silver with my Sly Cooper fic, Everything's Relative.
Sabrina: You are either really in love with this fic, and want to submit every time you read it, or you are campaigning for the number one fan spot! Well I Guess I have two number one fans for this story. Mexman1993 and You. Congratulations.
These chapters will probably be submitted a little after Christmas Day, but I hope to have it in before the 6th of January, as that is one day after the Christmas season actually ends. December 25-January 5, the twelve days of Christmas, it was actually celebrated like that in medieval times, a tasty tidbit for you trivia fans.
By the way, I'm thinking of doing a sequel to this story, about the villains talking about their first kiss. What do you think about this? The titles I was thinking about are: Hearts of Flames, Dark Romance, Innocence Before Shadows, and Lips of Venom. So you all can vote on if you want the sequel and what the title should be. One vote for each person, the majority rules, so if you really want it, convince you're other friends to read, review, and vote too! I'll announce the results with the final three chapters.
Okay I just wanted you all to know that I had gotten a cold earlier this month, and now my monitor is really nasty, it looks like it is going to fall right off, and the computer repair guy simply made things worse. I'll try to update as soon as possible, maybe in May, but do not hold me to that, as my time is not my own in updates. I just promise to do the best that I can.
Final note, if there are any of Kim's friends who haven't reviewed for themselves yet, you only have until May (maybe earlier if we're all lucky) to get your voices out, because after that, this story closes its doors for good (of course if there is a majority who wants a sequel, you could speak out them). It's the 23rd of February today, and I update this weekend, so the long cold winter wait is finally coming to an end. HURRAY!
