"Drip Drop" "Drip Drop" The sound echoed as it lashed against the silk umbrella. It leaked a bit but it was left unwatched and distant. The words sang through Katara's head as she left herself in a lost place of mind. How did he know this? The thoughts scattered through out her as she looked deep into Aang's passionate eyes.

His eyes were so tranquil and so unforgettable it left Katara trapped deep into Aang's spell. Was this meant to be? Why does it seem like this was my destiny, my path of life? Spiraling the thoughts went as the Waterbender kept a strong daze into Aang's eyes.

"Drip Drop" "Drip Drop" The rains continued as they tumbled more firmly upon the drenched umbrella. Katara jerked her head a bit as she felt a cold raindrop stream down her reddened cheeks.

Katara, what are you thinking about? Aang thought as he looked back into the eyes of his beloved. Maybe she doesn't feel this way about me, such a waste of my time.

Katara rubbed her teeth against her lips for a moment. The moist lipped skin blushed, but shortly faded away after she lost eye contact with the boy.

Aang looked toward the ominous sky and watched the raindrops splash to the soggy ground below them. Maybe this wasn't the right time. He thought as he inhaled a soft breath of air. He lightly closed his eyes for a moment and reopened them to face the sun kissed girl who adored with a dazzling passion.

"Uhh… Katara, do you want to continue our walk?" Aang announced quickly as he waited for a reply from the curiosity mind of Katara. Maybe it was to soon. Aang thought as he waited for Katara's reply.

I feel bad now, why do I have to be so thoughtless? I know deep inside, I just want to tell him, just explain to him, how I really feel, but…

"Katara…?" Aang's voice sang as it echoed through Katara's mind. "Sorry Aang, I just lost attention for a moment, sure I would love to continue our walk." She responded and flashed him a small smile. Aang smiled back at her, but it didn't seem real, it seemed mislead.

"Drip Drop" "Drip Drop" The rain mellowed as it flooded through the umbrella that was suppose to keep the two dry. The air was chilling a bit, and the fog was picking up as the raindrops freely fell upon Katara's brown hair, and Aang's smooth head.

I wonder what she's thinking about? I wonder if she even heard me, I hope so, I really do. He though as he gleamed upon the sodden grounds below him, the rain kept going at it's steady pace. I wonder if he thinks I'm such a jerk, I mean I literally just blew him off, what were you thinking Katara? She thought to herself as she herself was gazing upon the muddy grounds below them.

Aang looked up at Katara who continued to stare below her. He inhaled yet again another soft blissful breath and started to tap his long fair fingers upon his yellowish cloak. He looked to her reddened cheek and watched as the raindrops streamed down them, as if she was crying a sorrowful song.

"I've been thinking of you… of you… thinking of you…" The words repeated in Katara's fragile mind as light tears swallowed her eyes. What's wrong with me, why can't I just admit it? The thoughts rang, but the tears stopped as a cold raindrop splashed upon her browned face.

"Aang it seems as if the rain is starting to pick up again, do you want to go back?" She asked as another raindrop fell upon her washed out blushed cheeks. Aang looked upon her Go home, is there something wrong? He thought. "The cabin is still pretty far away, we've been walking for awhile now Katara, are you sure you want to go back? Aang asked while looking into the girl's confused eyes. Do I really want to go back, do I?

"I think it might be for the best Aang, I mean I don't want us to catch a cold or anything." Katara responded, she knew inside she was lying; she knew she was afraid, afraid to admit her true feelings. What if I lose him, it would be like losing my mother all over again. Someone I love, gone again. She reminded herself, as the thoughts of the war hesitated her mind.

"If that's what you want Katara… I mean we can go back… if you want…" Aang spoke softly as he glittered into Katara's wondrous eyes. I have to tell her the truth, I have to, and I need to find out if it's something we share. Aang thought again as he grabbed onto Katara's soft baby skinned hand.

Katara jumped a bit as she felt Aang's warm touch attack to hers. "Aang…?" Katara spoke out quickly as she looked down to her attached hand cupped against his.

"Katara, there is something I've been meaning to tell you for so long, I don't know if you ever noticed but…" "But…?" Katara said softly as she watched Aang's fingers intertwined with hers.

The Waterbender moved closer to the monk and stared deep in his eyes. I love you Aang. She memorized, and followed into his deep silent eyes.

"Katara… I…"
