A/N: Okeedokee, I wanted to make a happy drabble. Yes, I know, the world is coming to an end because Solar Beam is writing something happy. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Is that really so surprising? Okay, anyways, this idea came to me from the depths of my mind last night as I lay in bed staring at my white ceiling listening to my cat tear up something in my room. It wasn't going to be a song-fic, but you know me. Anyways, you know the drill. Enjoy! –Solar Beam

This Kiss

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry, no
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby hello, oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky

"So, Aang, you finally got a crush on someone?" Sokka said, stretching in the afternoon light, "and you want me to tell you about a first kiss?" He laughed lightly, a boastful, 'full-of-himself' laugh. Aang rolled his eyes, and then he caught sight of the water-bender coming into camp with a jug in her hands that looked heavy.

"Sure, Sokka," Aang said, not moving his eyes from where Katara walked.

"Well, you are lookin' at the babe master, Aang! Now you just sit right here—" he pushed Aang down onto a rock "—and I'll tell you all about it." Aang felt himself sit down on a rock, but he had yet to peel his eyes away from the lovely girl beside the fire, standing merely a few feet away from him. Please don't over-hear, Aang begged silently.

Katara stood and walked over. "Hey, guys. What're you doing? Have you seen Toph?"

Aang's face turned beat red and Sokka let out that screeching noise he calls a yell. "Katara! This is a boy's chat! No girl's allowed," he shoved his sister toward the fire, "go cook or sew something like the good girl you are."

Katara froze. "Oh, you aresuch a spoiled, sexist, inconsiderate pig!" she yelled, but she turned on her heels and stormed away. Aang lifted a finger to say something calming, but she just gave him a hard look and he decided against it. Instead he slipped his hands into his lap and got ready to listen to Sokka.

It s the way you love me
Its a feeling like this
Its centrifugal motion
Its perpetual bliss
Its that pivotal moment
Its, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss
Unstoppable
This kiss, this kiss

"Now Aang, a first kiss is everything to a girl. It's her way of thinking: 'Oh, he's ready to commit' or something. You have to be ready for this kiss, because you are telling the girl something when you do it. Don't ask me what, because I am not a girl…obviously. But I've had my share of kisses, and its telling that girl something. It means you're ready to get this relationship going. It tells them that you really like her," Sokka took a breath of air and studied his student a moment, "Got it?"

Aang gulped and nodded, but didn't say anything. Just talking about kisses made his cheeks turn a bright red. "Well, why am I even telling you this when you can test-drive it yourself?" Sokka laughed at the wide-eyed look the Avatar gave him then. "Hold tight, little man, I'm going to go find Toph."

Aang choked and stood up. "Toph? She'd probably poke me in the ribs and tell me that I am fishing for trouble or something!" He said desperately, trying to stop his friend from going to get the fiery earth-bender.

"Well you certainly can't kiss me," thought Sokka as he stood there, stroking his chin as if he had a beard, "Hey, Katara!" He was at her side before Aang could stop him. He said some words to Katara, and her eyes widened. Yes, thought Aang, maybe she'll say no or something! Katara laughed and nodded, and walked over to Aang from where he stood beside the rock.

"I can't believe you wanted to hear about kissing from Sokka. He's only kissed Gran-Gran and the moon spirit. I bet he told you he was a 'babe master', didn't he?" Aang said nothing, instead his face turned an even brighter red at his embarrassment and stupidity.

Cinderella said to snow white
How does love get so off course
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby I'm forever yours

"Well, come on you two. Stand in front of each other," Sokka ordered, pushing his sister forward. Katara stood inches above Aang, just a few inches now anyways. Aang had grown in the past few months since they had gathered Toph into their gang.

"Umm, Sokka, never mind. I don't need to know about kissing…" he said in a shaky, nervous tone. Sokka just laughed and shook his head, pushing the young Avatar forward.

"What? Am I just so horrible that you can't even kiss me?" This sounded familiar, from something that had happened before. And then it hit him: The Cave of Two Lovers, when they had almost kissed. Katara sighed, "Sokka, don't push this on him."

"Nonsense, he asked for it, Katara!" Aang and Katara looked at each other for a long minute, "Now kiss!" he ordered, "and make-up!" he added. Katara and Aang looked at each other for a long minute, and then Sokka seemed to disappear from their sight and it was just them. Slowly, the leaned forward, hesitantly. And then Aang paused, testing her, and then she came forward and they kissed lightly, but the shock the came between them both was unnerving but warm at the same time. It was an awkward kiss and they stepped back, flush red and eyes wide at the shock in which they had shared. Katara touched her lips, wide-eyed. "See, that wasn't so bad!" He turned to Aang and all his beat-reddiness, "Was it Aang?"

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky, oh
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside, oh
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Lets let everything slide
You got me floating
You got me flying

Aang sat atop Appa's head, thinking of the kiss he had shared with the love of his life. It had been so…electrifying. He wondered what that could have meant. Was it something because he was the Avatar? He sighed and looked up at the moon. "Aang?" Aang turned to look at the water-bender as she sat herself beside him, and he made room for her so she wouldn't topple off. "You're up pretty late. Do you want to talk about something?" It was as if the kiss never happened.

Aang mulled over whether to tell her or not, and finally he sighed. "That kiss today…" she let out a sigh and he stiffened up, "…did you feel anything, oh I don't know, weird when we did?"

Katara looked quickly at him and then away. "No," she lied. "Why…did you?"

"Yeah, like a shocking feeling. I was wondering if its because I'm the Avatar and I'm not supposed to kiss or something. I can't really figure it out…"

Katara pursed her lips and studied the boy beside her. "Maybe it would help if you…if we kissed again." Aang looked at her in surprise, but nodded shyly. Slowly they leaned forward once more, and Aang paused to test her and the air between them. No static force, maybe he was safe to go. Katara finished the distance between them and slowly they kissed. No electric shock. Katara wrapped her arms around Aang's neck and Aang grabbed her waist, and their kiss became more passionate.

And then the electric shock came and Aang was thrown backward by it. He was thrown into some bushes and he heard Katara give a surprised gasp as she jumped down from Appa, who let out a despaired moan, and she ran to the bushes. "Aang? Aang, are you okay?"

Aang pushed himself off the ground and shook his head, his eyes wide. "Man, what a shocker." He grinned at Katara, "Let's do that again!"

Its the way you love me.

A/N: A quick after note to all: Since my boyfriend will not commit already, I have yet to get my own first kiss. This is just how I would imagine it to be, so please…you know…if its all wrong don't go bashing my head into a wall. Its all my b/f's fault! –cries-
