"Katara, I know you are there." The woman looked up. She got up quickly and went to sat next to him.
"Aang…" Her voice was trembling, like her hands, like her heart.
"Shhh, sweetie…Don't cry." He reached with one hand to wipe one of her tears away. "Let me tell you a story…" Katara smiled. She looked up at her husband and remembered everything they've been through, everything they faced together.
" I think you know this one…"said Aang as he was caressing her cheek."You see, there was this boy and this girl that got stuck together into a magic cave. The cave was actually a maze, and there was no way they could get up. But, the girl came up with a brilliant idea.
"Look! There says that the love is brightest in the dark."
"Where are you going with this?"asked the boy confused.
"What if we kissed?" The girl started to blush, but the boy couldn't see very well because the cave was too dark and the flickering light of the torch to small.
"Us…kissing?"said the boy as he melted at the thought of kissing the girl he liked.
"I don't think this is how it happened" protested Katara trying to look upset.
"Shh, sweetie…I didn't even reach the best part." responded Aang, not looking at his wife. "So, where was I? Oh, yes.
"Us kissing! What was I thinking? Can you imagine that?"
The boy laughed, panicking a little. "Yeah, I definitely wouldn't want to kiss you!" But the smile faded of his face as he realized what he just said. Even though he didn't know yet how to earthbend, everyone could see that now he was digging a hole at a superhuman speed." Katara giggled.
"Tell me want happened next!"demanded her, still laughing.
"Well, the girl got upset."
"Oh, I didn't realize I was such a horrible option!"said she as she was walking away. "Sorry to suggest it!" The boy tried to repair his mistake.
"No, no I mean it was a choice between kissing you and dying!" The girl puffed. "What? I said that I'd rather kiss you than die! That's a compliment!"
"Well, I do not know which I would rather do!"
"The boy is lucky he got kids after that." Aang laughed.
"Yeah… Very lucky…"The Avatar looked into his wife's eyes. How did he get this lucky didn't he know. A breeze entered on the opened window, making Katara's hair loopies move.
"I need to ask you something." Aang said suddenly.
"What? What is it?"Katara asked looking genuinely concerned.
"Please, come closer." whispered he.
"What is it?"said Katara one more time, moving closer to her husband.
"Thank you for penguin sliding with me." Aang closed his eyes.
"No. No! Aang, no!" started Katara to shout. But, the Avatar didn't respond.
Suddenly, the door of the room flew open. Kya, Bumi and Tenzin entered in the room.
"Mom, what…?" started the airbender, but he stopped when he saw the tears streaming down the woman's face. He understood immediately. Tenzin went over to his mom and hugged her, crying on her shoulder. Kya and Bumi came to them. Bumi sat on the chair and Kya knelt down.
Next to them, the spirit of the passed Avatar was crying too, his body jerking. None of them could hear him, but he still whispered.
"I am sorry." Then, he left to find the next Avatar.
Katara was standing in front of the green light. She remembered that night very well, every detail being carved into the walls of her mind.
She stepped into the light and all of sudden she woke up in the spirit world. It was beautiful, she could not deny that. The sky was like a rainbow, and the nature was looking more alive, more healthy than in the physical world. It was beautiful, but also very big. How will she find Aang?
You won't. A voice whispered in one of Katara's ear. She turned left; there was no one. Do you think he will search for you? Nooo. Katara turned right. There was no one. She was alone. The girl started to panic and the world around her started to change. The flowers started to wither and the spirits started to grow big and scary.
This wasn't good, thought Katara as she saw a giant blue spirit coming towards her. She started to run and almost collapsed when she saw that she could. Looking down, Katara saw that she was no more old. Blessing whatever magic that was she ran, looking behind her in fear. She didn't pay attention to what was in front of her and in her rush hit her head in a branch. She fell onto the ground, unconscious.
Katara opened her eyes. She saw that somebody was standing over her. Grey eyes and gentle smile…where did she know them? Then, she remembered.
"I need to ask you something."
"What? What is it?" said the stranger.
"Come closer." The man appropriated his face. Katara could feel his warm breath.
"Will you go penguin sliding with me?"asked she as she pulled her husband into a passionate kiss.
"This is a well deserved oogie." said Sokka with a smile on his face.
When Aang and Katara got up, the waterbeder went straight to her brother and hugged him.
"You know that Tenzin named his bison Oogi, right?"said she.
"Yeah, I remember. It drove you crazy." laughed Sokka. But, I think that was cute. He named him after your love, you know that, don't you?" Aang and Katara exchanged a glance.
"I can't believe I missed you." said Katara, having a déjà-vu. Sokka hugged her again.
"Neither can I, Katara. Neither can I.
