Well, we can see the last chapter as signs of the beginning of a good relationship! Or so everyone thinks… 'makes suspicious face' 0.o
Anyways, I think the chapter titles are rather boring, so starting from the next chapter I will actually NAME them, instead of 'monotone voice' chapter 3, chapter 34, chapter 100 (Seriously, it could happen. But I will have to move it into an epilogue)
Disclaimer- I do not own the Caribbean Islands nor Avatar the Last Airbender
Me- YOU WENT WHERE?
Disclaimer—uhhhh (starts running again for dear life)

Aang had just ran off the platform, onto the water. But he didn't sink, and he ran like a wild maniac, with Katara's hands clinging fearfully on Aang's neck. The wind blew on them, and as Aang looked at Katara's waving hair, and as Katara looked as Aang's handsome face, both minds were thinking alike.
I love being with Katara.
I love being with Aang.

When Sokka, Katara, and Aang came back with the doctor's body, Mrs. Worheilmer sobbed like a madwoman. Katara stayed with her for a few hours before she calmed down, and the kind widow told them all to rest. Sokka and Aang immediately fell asleep when their head's touched the pillow, but Katara just sat on a chair beside Aang's bed, thinking. After a while, she fell asleep, her head leaning on her shoulders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, the villagers all gathered around a ceremonial fire to mourn the doctor's death. Most of the people had sad looks on their faces, and some cried, especially Katara and Mrs. Worheilmer. As chubby as she is, Aang couldn't help but feel bad.
This is all my fault. He died because of me. I never should have pulled Katara into the water in the first place.
But you didn't know such small actions could lead to such big consequences.
I was just playing around, but I didn't have a clue as what would happen. I should have been more careful, thinking about my actions before I do it.
There we go.
"Aang?" Katara's voice drove him back to reality.
"Are you alright? You kind of wandered off."
"Yeah, I'm all right." Aang smiled one of his big smiles, but Katara knew that it wasn't real.
"You know you can always talk to me about anything, Aang."
"I know, Katara, but its ju-
"And now the Avatar would like to make a few words."
Everyone turned to Aang, who was suddenly very nervous. He began sweating, his face turned white, and his hands shook. Katara saw Aang's nervous state, and took this as a chance to help.
"I am the Avatar's travel companion. I know how it is, when one loses someone close to them, like family. I had lost my mother, killed by the fire nation. I was just about to experience the pain and suffering again, when my brother and I found Dr. Worheilmer. He did everything he could, and he swore to me that he would use all his power to save Aang. And he did. He even risked his own life for him, knowing well that the fire nation would track the Avatar down, and therefore discovering this village once again.
Aang, my brother, and I owe a lifetime of gratitude to him. He shall live happily in heaven, knowing well that he had done his part, and much more." Even more people had tears on their faces as Katara ended her speech, and by then Aang had gathered his confidence and started his.
"He had spent years, traveling and researching, and for what? For the lives of innocent people who die every single minute. He had risked the safety of himself, which eventually led to the discovery of the 'Lily's Love's' antidote. Without that, I would have died, and the fire lord would have taken this opportunity to ensure the fire nation's rule. You see, Dr Worheilmer didn't just bring hope back to my friends; it brought hope to everyone in the world. He had saved me, and therefore he had saved the war. Dr. Worheilmer has done his job, and now we have to do ours. We have to stand together as one, and slowly but surely, we will be able to lessen the death toll of the earthbenders!" Aang concluded his speech with airbending wind out of his staff and into the night sky, and although he literally flinched by the pain, nobody noticed.
"Hurrah!" the crowd shouted into the night sky.
Everyone turned back to the attention of the coffin, which was now slowly being lowered down by earthbending. Finally, the coffin was at the bottom, and with one swift kick out of the earthbender, the dirt and mud fell over it, leaving the spot completed the same as before. Slowly, everyone left, and some put flowers and notes over the burial spot. Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Mrs. Worheilmer stayed.
"I'll miss him terribly…" Mrs. Worheilmer whispered, looking at the ground with tears falling down of her cheeks. Katara quickly patted her back and comforted her.
"He would have wanted you to move on, Mrs. Worheilmer."
"Ahh, I suppose he would. Now, let's go back. You kids can go to the stream beside the house anytime you want. I'll call when dinner is ready."
Sokka chose to help Mrs. Worheilmer, though he really just wanted to smell the food. Aang went to the stream without saying anything, and Katara followed.
However, when she got to the stream, she stopped. Aang was sitting down, looking at the water, and talking to himself about something. First, she wanted to see if he was alright, but something told her to wait and listen. Besides, she thought to herself, Aang needs a little time alone after all that has happened.
This stream reminds you of the incident, doesn't it, Aang
"Yeah, it does…"
Don't strain yourself. It's all over. Now, you have to think about the gift. What will you give to Katara for thanking her?
"I don't know… I never knew what she liked… maybe a new necklace?"
You've already given her one. I'm sure she treasures it. Now, think of something else to give her.
"Well… she hasn't had fun in a while, so maybe we could throw a festival?"
That's going to take a lot of cooperation with the people of this village, but I think it could work.
Meanwhile, Katara was listening to every word Aang spoke out, her mind racing furiously. Who's Aang talking about? Is he talking about me? A festival? He would do that for me?
"Maybe I could get the village leaders together tomorrow and talk about the plan."
Excellent. Now, I think it is time for you to turn around and see who is there.
"What?" Aang slowly turned his head around, and his eyes widened. "Katara! How long have you been here!"
C'mon Katara, lie. You can do it. "Ummm… I just got here!" Aang calmed down a little.
"Can I sit?"
"Of course, Katara!" Katara sat down beside Aang, and looked at the stream. None of them exchanged words for a while. Finally, Katara spoke out, still looking at the water.
"Aang… do you think we'll always be best friends?"
"Of course, Katara! What makes you think I wouldn't be your friend?" Aang looked at her in surprise.
Katara turned her head, and their eyes locked in what seemed like an unbreakable bond.
"Do you think… we'll be more than just best friends?"
