Disclaimer – Yep, I know I know you think I own the Avatar. Well I have news for you, I DON'T!

Aang awoke from his short sleep that consisted of almost two hours. He couldn't sleep the night before, not on the terms him and Katara were in. He got up to find it all wasn't a dream he was in Katara's house. Today was the day of the Water portion of the festivals.

Aang and Katara had finally talked last night, but the air was far from clear and Aang desperately wanted it to be. He wanted everything to be great, she didn't have a boyfriend, he didn't have a girlfriend and this way he could at least be her friend without feeling jealous and bitter.

Aang got up and got dressed in his normal air bending outfit, It would have been almost six in the morning the sun was up and they day had begun. He walked out in the Kitchen hoping Katara was asleep, he knew Sokka would be, but no such luck Katara was already at the table drinking tea.

Aang gave a few coughs for attention; Katara was startled slightly and gave a bit of a jump. "Oh Aang you scared me"

"Heh sorry" the air bender apologized "Well good morning"

"Ummm good morning" neither wanted to talk about the night before at the risk of ruining each others day.

"Did you have a nice sleep?" Katara asked awkwardly.

"Not really you?"

"Same, hardly got any"

"Katara, I'm sorry for las" Aang began but was interrupted between words.

"Yeah me too, forget it. I'm going to have a bath I guess I'll see you at the festival" she got up and disappeared into the hallway.

"I wish I could forget it" He said to himself, gave a great sigh and made some tea.

Later that day Katara, Sokka and Aang were ready and dressed to attend the show which started the Water festival up.

"So are we going or what?" Sokka asked heading out the door.

"I'm ready" Aang declared.

"Me too" Katara added and all three of them walked out the door, and into main street.

"So Katara got a boyfriend?" Sokka casually asked and Katara glared back at him.

"What I'm your brother, I'm aloud to ask" Katara looked over to Aang.

"No" she plainly said. Aang cried 'Yes' In his mind.

"What about you two? Any lucky girls?"

"No" They replied in Union. Katara hated to admit she was pleased at this news.

"Oh ok" She tried to act aloof "Where almost here it's taking place over there" she pointed to a few buildings that obviously ran along the road, they must have been concealing the Festivities.

"Cool" Sokka said excitedly. "The king starts it off, no?"

"Yeah I think he does" Katara responded.

The three of them squeezed through an alley way and came out onto a street that was completely blue, everything was blue or decorated blue at least. The citizens of Ba Sing Se crowded the very long street, many were waiting by the stage for the King to officially start the festival. Aang, Sokka and Katara walked towards the stage also waiting. Katara felt quite excited this was the only water festival she had been to and she wondered what it would be like. The Earth King Stepped out onto the stage with a man who looked extremely familiar, the crowd cheered loudly.

The Earth King went by with the people of the city what the five days would be consisting of in huge pride, he through in a few jokes which were quite funny and he introduced the man who stood behind him 'Hahn' the new King of the North Pole.

"What?" Sokka exclaimed "They put that tool in charge!"

"To start off the Water Day I have a team of benders here who will do a rain dance, it will rain so I hope you brought you umbrella's" Hahn called and the crowd cheered.

Five men came out on stage to begin there 'rain dance', soon after the had begun it had started to pour it was a spectacular site to see, Aang and Katara bended the rain water over there heads so they wouldn't get wet.

"Sokka come on stop sulking come under here" Katara called out to her brother over the ritual music.

"Katara shut up you don't know what its like to lose someone you love" Sokka snapped back.

"Yes I do" she muttered and ran off back towards her house.

"Katara wait!" Aang had followed.

"What's the matter?" The rain was pouring down even harder and Katara turned around to find Aang behind her soaked.

"Why did you leave Aang?" She demanded.

"I-I can't tell you" he stuttered.

Katara paced up and down in the rain." Why? Why can't you tell me huh?"

"I just can't. Can we not talk about this please, come on its cold, lets get you inside" he offered out his hand.

"No Aang not until you tell me why you left" she stood her ground.

"Katara, please you being silly" he tried to pull her inside.

"Me, Silly? Aang when you left… I just have to know why please!" he shook his head.

"Ahhhh" Katara started bending the rain water at him, blow after blow he dodged and barricaded.

"What are you doing?" he said grabbing her wrists stopping her from attacking him.

"Why did you leave?" Katara began to cry.

Aang had never seen her like this, sure he had seen he cry but not like this she had never tried to attack him before.

"Katara you don't want to know" he said hugging her, trying to calm her as the rain continued to fall.

"I do, I really really do. Is it because you hated the fire nation? Did you fall in love with a Earth bender? Do you hate me Aang? What was it?" She shouted trying to hit him but failing terribly tears still dripping down her face mixing with the rain water.

"It was because I loved you!" he shouted back accidentally.

"What?"

"Nothing, look don't worry" he said and began to walk away releasing his grip from her.

"You loved me?" she questioned in a shout to the monk who was walking away.

He stopped, turned around and looked back at the water bender covered from head to toe in water and nodded.

"Well why did you leave?" She had stopped the tears from falling and waited for his answer.

"You loved someone else" he continued to walk away.

"No I didn't Aang!" but he kept walking. "Aang I didn't!"

"I saw you Katara" he called out not looking back.

Aang didn't know what to think anymore and neither did Katara. Katara had gone home and Aang went to look for Sokka. He has to be somewhere around here stalking Hahn no doubt Aang thought to himself. Aang saw a glimpse of a drunk Sokka stumbling through the crowds and then tring to climb up on stage. The Avatar ran as fast as he could through the crowd and pulled Sokka off the stage just as he had gotten up.

"Hey what are you doing?" Sokka protested struggling to get loose from Aang's grip, Aang was stronger and taller than Sokka now so he just dragged him out of the crowd.

"Are you nuts?" Aang exclaimed.

"No, just drunk" Sokka slurred.

Moments later Aang and Sokka were in a pub getting smashed.

"So that's how the spiders harvest the broccoli" Sokka finished sharing his spider theories.

"I gotcha" Aang said while pointing at Sokka.

"Yeah so what happened with you and Katary today?" Sokka spoke in drunken lingo.

"We'll she I told her I left because I loved her, and she said 'why?' and I said to her I said 'Katary, because you loved someone else' and she said 'Aangy no I didn't' and then I said 'I saw you' and left"

"I think she was telling the truth" a women who was obviously not drunk, said from behind them. They turned around on there bar stools to find none other than.

"Toph!" The drunk pair cried in sync.

"Twinkle toes, Snoozles its good to hear you guys."

"You really think she was telling the truth Toph?" Aang asked.

"Wow Toph you're looking really pretty"

"I know it" she said facing Aang and she turned back to Sokka and said "I'm sure that is the liquor talking but thank you Sokka"

"Toph does Katary hate me?" Aang asked in a drunken wine.

"No I'm sure she doesn't, I think I should get you boy's back home" She said taking the hands of both the men and leading the out of the pub.

Aang, Sokka and Toph stepped up on to Katara's door step.

"Yep this is it Toph, my sisters house" Toph knocked on the door and waited a while until Katara finally opened the door.

"Toph, how did you? You brought them home! Oh thank you, I was worried sick"

"Hey sugar Queen" The ladies hugged and the boys went inside and slipped into bed.

"So come in" Katara told Toph. "Sit" the girls sat on cusions.

"So, how have you been?" Toph asked.

"Oh pretty good and you?"

"Aw you know great, I came to see you three actually reunite the old Boomeraang squad"

"That's great! How did you find the boys?"

"I could here Sokka's voice from the train station" The girls laughed. "I think they had a little too much to drink"

"Sounds about right"

"Aang seems to think you're a liar of some sort"

"Oh yeah, that"

"What happened are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine" Katara lied.

"He's right you are a liar" Toph joked.

"Ok well, I asked him why he left, and he said it was because he loved me"

"Well that's good isn't it?"

"Yeah but then I said why did you leave then? And he says its because I loved someone else"

"Did you tell him you weren't? Did you tell him you loved him?" Toph inquired.

"I told him I wasn't in love with someone else and he thinks I'm lying"

"Why?"

"He saw me kissing Zuko" she said reluctantly.

"You kissed Zuko?"

"Yeah, but it meant nothing I was crying and he kinda kissed me and I kinda kissed him back"

"Lucky bitch" Toph smirked.

"Unlucky more like it, the only reason I was crying in the first place was because I thought Aang didn't like me, I try and forget it and Guess who has to see it"

"Aang"

"Bingo"

"What are you gonna do?"

"Well I've gotta convince him I wasn't in love with Zuko for starters, but really what does it matter in the end?"

"What do you mean? Don't you like him that way any more?"

Katara went silent.

"Hmmm funny I don't see any ring or engagement necklace, oh but there is that necklace you wear as a bracelet that Aang made you" Toph teased.

"Ok, I still like him" Katara confessed.

"Well what's the problem?"

"He used the word loved, he never said love. He doesn't love me anymore and I'm back to square one"

"You could always do with a best friend" Toph smiled "And between you and me, I think you will find he likes you but hey I'm blind what do I know?"

"I wish, but as for the he needs to know I was never in love with Zuko thing I have a plan"

"Oh yeah what is it?" Toph asked intrigued.
