Disclaimer: I own nothing.

This is the alternate ending MANY people asked for on my short story, 'Lies'.
You want happy, here you go. I'm putting it up as a filler on 'Zutarian's Paradise', cause I'm lazy like that. :D (Check out that short story, please!)

!!To understand this to it's fullest advantage, read my other VERY short story, 'Lies', please!!

I know this on my other story, but I just wanted to post it on both places.

What hurts the most was being so close.

Those three words were on the edge of his lips, ready to escape at any moment.

But somehow his voice died out the moment she turned around and began to walk away.

And that's what made his heart twist into a knot, bruising him inside.

He might never be able to see her again, she might be lost from his forever if he didn't act. It was time to act and say those unspoken words, to push behind the past. To push those lies away. And when he stepped forward to grab her wrist and pull her back, his heart was revived again, skipping a beat.

"Katara, just tell me one thing before you leave. Tell me if this means the smallest meaning to you at all."

Before she could speak, he pressed his lips against her. He did it without any hesitation and without any moment of thought.

Actually that was a lie.

He's been thinking of this moment every night. Every dream. Every time he looked into her eyes. Every single time.

And every single lie he had ever said

When he broke the kiss, she looked up at him with the same healing eyes he dreams of every night. He stood, his heart racing the speed of light, and his mind completely spinning in circles. When they kissed he could swear he felt something. Something so much more...

She spoke barely under a whisper, nearly choking on her words as she spoke them.

"No. It doesn't mean anything to me."

She had lied.

"It means everything to me."

He looked back up, his amber locked on her pair of blue eyes. And without any more hesitation again, they pounced on each other, locking their lips as if the world was ending. The passion between them intensified as they began to make up for the all the time wasted on those atrocious lies.

And all those lies were thrown behind them, forever.
