Aang and Katara were finally happy again, a burden had been raised at there little camping trip and they had something to really look forward to the next morning, each other. Today was the day of the Fire Nations part of the series of festival days, Zuko would be attending this portion and Aang would have to finally let go of all the hatred he had felt for him the past several years because he now knew it was all a big misunderstanding.

Sokka, Toph, Katara and Aang went to the palace early to catch Zuko's arrival. When they saw an iron-ish black looking carriage being lead down the road they instantly knew it was Zuko. Once the black transport with fire red emblems halted at the foot of the Palace the driver hopped down off his seat and opened the door. Zuko slowly climbed out followed by a pregnant woman who was clearly the fire lady.

"Fire Lord Zuko what a pleasure it is to have you here" The Earth King bellowed, turning to the pregnant Woman "And of course Jin, you are looking lovelier than ever"

Zuko and Jin both bowed at there warm welcome and looked over to Aang and the rest of the group.

"Hello Zuko" Katara said, Aang felt a sharp pain jealousy at the fact Katara had welcomed him with a hug. Toph and Sokka also showed there pleasure in seeing him too.

"Avatar" Zuko greeted Aang and Aang reluctantly bowed back.

"It is such a pleasure to meet you all, after hearing so many stories with you in them" Jin beamed at the four after being formally introduced. Aang was glad Zuko had found someone he didn't care to see him being over friendly with Katara again. The Earth King directed Zuko's and Jin's things to be taken within the palace.

For breakfast Katara, Toph, Sokka and Aang happily joined The Earth King and his new guests. They ate delicious assortments of food while listening to the finest of music. After finding that Jin was six months along Aang asked "Have you picked out any names?"

"Well I was thinking perhaps Iroh if it's a boy seeing as he is the one who brought us together in retrospect" Jin and Zuko smiled at each other.

"We would love to hear the story" Katara chimed.

Zuko and Jin told the story together finishing each others sentences, they were clearly made for each other and this made Aang think about the possibilities of Katara and himself ever being more than 'the best' friends. Sokka and Toph fought a bit over some food which amused Jin and Zuko and the King talked politics. Aang was already bored he looked over to Katara who was sitting directly in front of him and blew a few miny twisters along the floor which crashed into her legs, she was watching Toph and Zuko fight she didn't even notice the first one so Aang bended another one, Katara felt it and immediately looked at Aang who looked at the roof, whistling pretending it wasn't him.

Katara decided two can play that game and bended a little bit of water into Aang's face and looked away also, she then looked back at Aang who was slightly saturated and said "Aang what happened? Your wet" she said in a mock voice.

"You think you're so smart" Aang playfully accused pointing his finger at her.

"I don't think it, I know it" they both laughed causing everyone to look at them, Katara and Aang blushed they hadn't realized they had been so loud.

"Aang why are you wet?" Sokka asked.

Katara and Aang started cracking up again, Toph and Sokka looked at each other.

"Looks like we have our Kataang back" Toph Smirked.

"What?"

"Katara and Aang, cool huh?"

"Oh yeah, finally" Sokka laughed.

After the breakfast was finished, Sokka lit the torch which was to travel around the world and the day's festival began. Aang fed Appa and Momo and then the group enjoyed the festivities. Katara and Aang split up from Sokka and Toph who decided they wanted to go on the rides.

"So Sokka tells me you just split up with your girlfriend" Katara stated as her and Aang began to roam the festival stalls.

"Umm yeah" Aang rubbed the back of his neck this was an uncomfortable situation for him.

"How come?"

"Oh well, I guess I didn't well…"

"Love her?" Katara finished his sentence.

"Well yeah" Aang admitted. "Hmm how bout you? Any boyfriends?"

"Nope, none"

"Really wow…" Aang begun to get a little uncomfortable again.

"There was this one guy I had a thing with but he left along time ago" She finished.

Aang wasn't sure if she had meant him or some other guy, but either way it didn't matter.

"Oh yeah, musta been an idiot to leave you" he gave his signature grin.

Katara smiled back and dragged him into a clothing store, he sarcastically moaned and watched as she looked through the dresses. After she had found one she liked she went behind a curtain to try it on. Moments passed and Katara pulled the curtain aside to reveal herself in a majestic blue dress that draped slightly over the floor.

"How do I look?" Katara asked for his opinion, some how he felt like he had been asked this question before.

He remembered why and said "You mean all of you or just your body? Because both look great" He complimented.

She remembered back to when he hade made her the necklace, looked down at her hand where a flower woven necklace was rapped around her wrist and she blushed.

"What's the occasion?" he asked.

"The ball"

"Oh right that…which reminds me I have to write a speech" He sort of slumped then added "Katara you look perfect, I-I mean the dress is perfect on you… for the party"

"Awww thanks"

"Your welcome" he said with a blush.

Katara brought the dress and they continued to roam the festival.

"Mmmm those look good. You want one?" he said pointing to an ice cream stand.

"You don't have to"

"I insist. Favorite flavor?"

"Strawberry"

"Me too, hold on I'll be right back"

Aang brought the ice creams and they sat down on a patch of grass to eat them.

"Aang, you know I could help with the speech if you want" She offered.

"Really? Katara that would be great"

"Of course, tonight?"

"It's a date… I mean err like I'll be there"

"Me too, Oh Aang you have got some ice cream on your nose" she said and wiped it off with her sleeve.

"Thanks"

"Hey what are friends for?" She smiled up at him.

Later that night Katara and Aang sat on the bank of the river with a Quill and paper dipping there feet into the water.

"Ok so I'll I have is 'Hello I'm Aang'" Aang confessed.

Katara giggled "He saves the world but can't write a speech" She said to herself taking the Quill and paper from him.

"Yeah well it's harder than it looks" he whined.

"Big goof, so what do you want the people to know?"

Aang sent his message across and Katara transmitted it into a speech after an hour or so she handed the paper back to him.

"Read it learn it!" she ordered.

"Where would I be without you?"

"I don't know"

"I do, still in that ice burg"

"Well that is true"

Aang gave Katara a friendly hug.

"What was that for?"

"Saving the world" he replied with his signature grin.

Katara laughed "No problem" And started bending the water in front of her.

"Hey Katara"

"Yeah?" she replied not looking away from the water.

"Well I was wondering? This ball thing, Will you go with me? As my date, I mean like as friends or what ever?"

"Sure, I would love to the ball as friends with you" She lied, she wanted to go with him as more than friends.
