Wow, I'm churning out about 2 chapters a day... I hope I regained some of my humor in this one. BTW, I don't have school tomorrow so I'm probably gonna write 2 or 3 more chapters.

I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender, Momo, Sokka, Aang, Toph, or Katara... But I wish I did. Especially Katara. Lol. (Yes, I'm a dude)

Ch. 5

"Toph, I'm gonna go find the 'lovebirds', you wanna come with?" Sokka was eagerly waiting to see how Aang and Katara were acting with each other.

"Nah, you go ahead, I don't think I'd see anything of interest." She said, pointing to her hazy eyes.

"Oh, right. Sorry… I'll be back soon." Sokka started to walk away, in search of his friend and sister.

"I wonder where they are…" He thought aloud to himself. They're probably lying on the ground somewhere making out. He mocked them mentally. Then a wave of terror flew over Sokka. Wait, Aang's twelve! He's hormonal! What if he wants to do more than just make out? Has anyone even given him 'the talk' yet? Oh, crap, this isn't good!

"Aang, wherever you are, don't even think about it!" he yelled out.

--------------------

Aang and Katara were still sitting around the camp, enjoying being with each other, in a way they never could before. Once they finished their coconuts, they just sat and talked.

"Did you like being a monk?" Katara asked. Aang never spoke much of his life in the air temple.

"It was ok, I guess. I mean, I never knew anything else. My parents gave me to the monks when I was very young. Three, I think."

"Yeah, but did you have fun? Did you have friends at the temple?"

"Well, yeah. I had friends, but none of them were very good friends. Ever since the monks told me I was the Avatar, I didn't really have time to play around. I was always busy trying to master airbending. Sometimes I wish they had waited another 3 years like they were supposed to…"

"Three? I thought they were supposed to tell you when you were sixteen."

"They were. My, uhh, my thirteenth birthday was yesterday." He said with a weak smile.

Katara's eyes lit up. "It was? Oh, Aang, why didn't you tell any of us? We could have had a party for you!"

"I never liked birthdays." Aang said with a dry voice. "Ever since I learned I was the Avatar, every birthday just meant another year in coming of endless training for protecting the world. It was a lot of pressure to put up with, especially for a 9 year old kid. Besides, the monks taught us not to place importance on things like birthdays."

"Ohh… I'm sorry, Aang" Katara said shyly. "I had no idea…"

"Don't apologize, Katara. It's not your fault." He put on a forced grin. "Thanks for the offer though!"

Katara just put on a smile. "I'm a little tired. I'm gonna go to sleep now."

"Sweet dreams, Katara."

As she was walking back towards the tent, a spark went off in her brain. She slowly walked back towards Aang, who didn't see her approaching. She leaned over and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

"Happy Birthday, Aang." She said softly. Aang tried to respond, but he couldn't move his lips. He started to blush ferociously, but he didn't try to hide it. He just stared deeply into Katara's beautiful blue eyes.

She smiled softly and slowly made her way into the tent. Aang sighed a loud, happy sigh and fell over backwards, thinking of his love, and what they might one day do with each other, as an even deeper blush made its way onto Aang's face.

"That's it. I'm telling her tomorrow." He told himself. At that moment, he heard what sounded like Sokka yelling, and suddenly he felt embarrassed and ashamed of his thoughts about Katara.

--------------------

"Back already?" Toph asked from the cave they found in which they were staying.

"Yeah, I was interrupted by some rather… disturbing mental images." Sokka had an angry expression on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"Umm, I mean- you don't think Aang will try anything with Katara, do you?"

"I though that was what this entire plan was about,"

"No, Toph. I mean if he might TRY anything…"

"What? No way! Not Aang! He's not like that."

"You sure? I mean, he's all alone with her…"

"Sokka, relax. Nothing will happen between the two of them. They're smart kids. And just 'cause they like each other doesn't mean that Aang will propose or something" Toph sounded annoyed.

"Pr-pro-p-pp-propose?" Sokka stammered nervously. All of the sudden he felt anger seething through his body. He ran to the mouth of the cave.

"AAANNNNGGGGGG!"

--------------------

Aang was lying on the ground, thinking about the events that had passed.

Wow, I can't believe all this happened in one day… I've made up my mind, I'm telling her tomorrow, but how? He sighed and stood up.

"Maybe I'll think of something out there." He told himself as he walked out towards the center of the island. The farther he went in, the less palm trees he saw, and the more large oak trees started appearing. He made his way to a large group of oak trees, and when he got passed, his eyes lit up. This is perfect! He thought, looking at the field in front of him.

This is where I will tell her… As he was making his way back to camp, he could have sworn he heard Sokka shouting his name…

--------------------

"Sokka! Calm the hell down! They won't do anything! Besides, you'll let them know that we are here!"

"If he try's anything, I'll kill him!"

"Sokka! Would you relax? This was all your idea, anyways!"

"I-." he started, but softened and sighed. "I know. It's just… he's twelve.. And she's fourteen… They're both going through puberty and I don't want anything to happen to them. And I don't want my little sister carrying the child of the Avatar." He laughed a little. "I don't want my sister to be carrying the child of anyone."

This has to be one of my shortest chapters so far. I hope the next can be longer.

Rest in Peace, Mako Iwamatsu (Voice actor for Uncle Iroh)
