Sorry about not updating this, my minds been busy with other ideas for my DA account, I have two rather big stories going on there. Liberation and When hope fought back, to be specific. Also I know I have a lot of grammar and spell mistakes, but this is an old story and going back to check thing will end badly, the story might be turned upside down. So sorry for them all, I'm trying to do better on my newer stories.

Also one more chapter to go and this baby's done. I don't know anything except the story line.


Aang was shoved through the house and out two doors into the huge backyard. He heard the door lock behind him, and he turned quickly to it. Sokka was setting him up for something, not that he really didn't mind the thought, but it was a little weird. He stumbled across a table, all set and beautiful, and he just froze and stared at it, like it was going to eat him.

There was a shriek of surprise a little ways to his right. "Toph! Suki! Why's the door locked!?" Katara whined, and Aang heard the door rattling. "They've been acting weird all day this is what I get."

"Sokka did the same to me." Aang said and he heard Katara chock on her breath.

"Sokka? Locked you out too?" Katara asked, still by the door, which was behind a rose bush.

"Yup." Aang said.

"You wouldn't happen to be dressed up all fancy?" Katara's voice was very hesitant, almost afraid he wouldn't answer.

"I believe so."

There were some mumbles behind the bush and a suddenly very shy Katara came shuffling out. Her eyes darted to she then looked away quickly, she was feeling stupid. Not to say Aang wasn't either, but he hadn't minded whatever Toph had had done to her. He knew Katara was looking him over from the corner of her eye, also taking note of the table.

"Oh boy, a table, and it's lit by candles." Katara said nervously fiddling with some of the folds in her dress.

"Yeah, and the sun's setting." Aang pointed out a little nervousness showing, he had learned to control the nerves when Katara first started curling up beside him. "It's almost like a set up."

"Yeah, that's true." They both laugh nervously, eyes meeting then darting away. "Ah, your tie."

Katara rushed over and fixed the tie before Aang had anytime to calculate in his head what was wrong with it. Her hands slowly slide down, holding it out a little. She was frozen, for Aang had noticed a stray hair and gently pushed it behind her ear. Their eyes suddenly meet, there was no set up about that.

The sky was painted for them it seemed, but neither of them saw it. Aang's hands cupped Katara's face, and her grip tightened on the tie, gently pulling him closer. Their eyes slide close and their warm breath tickled and teased the others lips. Softly the two sets of lips met, gently and soft, touching but barely. Slowly the kiss deepened as the sun set, arms found their rightful place, lungs held their air, while tongues explored and voice boxes moaned.

"Why didn't we do that before?" Katara asked when they pulled away, her eyes were still closed.

"Cause we're stupid." Aang muttered against her forehead and chuckled a little. "I don't know, I'm asking myself that question over and over."

"Almost three months with Zuko and we were never this close."

"Let's not talk about him ok."

Katara gave a small smile and hugged Aang tightly, burring her face in his chest.


"What we'd miss?" Toph asked tying her apron on. "Stupid outfits, why did you have to bring them Suki?"

"First off, I'll say it was a good thing Sokka wasn't here." Suki said she had been watching from on of the side windows, waiting for her moment to enter, it had yet to come. "Second, because they fit the job."

"What do you mean, 'it was a good thing Sokka wasn't here'?" Sokka said fixing the shirt. Suki raised an eyebrow it was all he needed to start regretting the whole thing. "It's for Katara." He hissed over and over to himself.

"She's a grown woman, it's about time someone's tongue went down her throat." Toph said to her husband. "I mean it's not like they did 'it'."

"Oh, God, Toph, why did you have to say that!" Sokka snapped at her.

"Cause its fun."

"Mr. And Ms. Talksalot, can we focus please." Suki said, turning her attention back to the two people on the porch. "Sokka turn on the music."

Sokka grumbled over and turned the music on, sending the two jumping and the sudden new sound.

"It's going to be a long night." Sokka said, and that it was.


"Dear God, will you stop pacing." Sokka snapped at Aang, grabbing him by the shoulders and throwing him down into some chair. "You're making me dizzy."

"Sit still!" Toph said, stopping a squirming Katara from hurting herself. "Suki's all most done, the least you can do is sit still."

XxXxXxXxX

"Look you love Katara right?" Sokka said poking Aang's chest.

"Yes." Aang said, watching Sokka carefully.

"You asked for this, right?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you nervous?"

Aang gave a low defeated growl.

XxXxXxXxX

"There all done, and don't you look nice." Suki encouraged, but Katara still fiddled with her clothes.

"Come on Katara, its not like he's going to take it back." Toph pointed out. "What's the big deal?"

"It's not something you do everyday with someone." Katara retorted.

"She has a point." Suki said.

"Says the woman who's not married." Toph said. "Besides the point, its normal to feel like this, it last a life time."

Katara groaned, leaning forward till her head hit the table in front of her.

"You're no help." Suki said.

XxXxXxXxX

"Ok…wow…ahem…that's…ah…some good reasons to be nervous." Sokka said coughing some more.

"Well it's the truth!" Aang defeated.

"I know that! Don't work though, once you see her it will all go away."

"Says you."

"Hey! Who's the one who's married?"

"You."

"Don't question what I say."

"Deal."

XxXxXxXxX

"Relax Katara, its not that bad." Toph said.

"I can't I'm too nervous." Katara said pulling at a strand of hair.

"We got that! But once you see him, everything kinda melts away."

"How do you know?" Suki asked.

"Hello, done it before." Toph spelled out, wiggling her fingers. "I know what I'm talking about."

"Stop fighting you too!" Katara said. "We're dealing with my problem."

"Sorry, but you're problem is only thirty minutes away."

Katara groaned in defeat.

Aang was doing everything in his head to stop from freaking out. The church was indeed packed with people they know. He didn't know half of them, but Katara didn't either. They were all talking among themselves, meeting and greeting, it wasn't until the music started that the people stopped talking. And everything was just like Sokka said, every doubt had was suddenly an unknown to him.

XxXxXxXxX

Katara was gripping Bato so tightly, the poor man couldn't breathe, he was suddenly wished he hadn't been so close to her father. Sokka had indeed pried her off, and loosened the hold, managed to calm her down. She could here the mutters from the crowd, then the silences they took at the music. There was that sound of everyone turning, but Toph was right. What was doubt again?


One more chapter and we're done here. Please RXR!!!!
