Here is chapter 1! Yay! It's kind of boring, but I couldn't think of another way to start the story.

Hope you like it!

I do not own ATLA and/or any of the characters.

Katara looked at the scene before her and couldn't help but to smile.

Sokka was on the couch asleep, and Aang and Toph were drawing all over his face. Aang drew a very impressive mustache, while Toph just kind of splashed the ink on his face with a brush.

Katara knew that Sokka would be furious when he woke up, but she didn't want to ruin Aang and Toph's fun. Sozin's Comet was due in a week, and she wanted everyone to be as happy as they could be, because she honestly didn't know if they were all going to still be around next week. She hated to think like this, but she didn't know if Aang's plan to bring down the Fire Lord "humanely" was going to work, and she knew that they all might not make it. So she wanted to make the next week as enjoyable as she could.

Sokka stirred in his sleep. Toph and Aang got up and hid the ink in the side table drawer, and proceeded to sit on the other couch acting as if they had been sitting there all day.

Sokka finally woke up and rubbed his eyes."What are you guys looking at?" he asked with a groggy voice.

"Oh, nothing" Aang said with a sly grin.

"I swear you're just as weird as that day we found you in that iceberg." Sokka said as he got up off the couch.

Katara couldn't hold in her giggles anymore. She busted out laughing, and Aang and Toph joined in.

"What the heck are you guys laughing at? Do I have something on my face?" he rubbed at his face.

This only made them laugh even harder. Aang doubled over in laughter, Katara had to hold her ribs from the pain of laughing, and Toph had small tears leaking from her eyes. Katara thought that she would never be able to stop laughing.

"Come on guys, what's so funny?" Sokka asked.

Then Suki walked in the living room. She took one look at Sokka and joined in with the laughter.

"You too?" he asked weary. He just couldn't figure out what in the world they were laughing at.

Sokka rubbed at his face trying to see if he could feel anything, but nothing was there. Then he looked down at his clothes, and found nothing there either.

While Sokka was inspecting himself Zuko walked in and chuckled. "Umm… Sokka you have a little ink on your face" he said trying to hold his composure.

Sokka moved to the mirror in the hallway, and found his face covered in black ink. He spun around and looked at all of them. Underneath all of the ink, Katara could see that Sokka's face had turned red with fury. If he could spit fire, she knew he wouldn't hesitate.

"I know it was you Toph and Aang. Just wait I'll get you back!" he said as he tried to wipe some of the ink off.

"We'll see about that Sokka." Toph said in between chuckles, as Sokka stormed off to his room. Suki followed trying to talk him down, to no avail.

"He's really mad." Zuko said as he sat down on the couch beside Katara.

"His face was priceless when he looked in the mirror" Aang said as he wiped small tears from his eyes.

"He will try to get you back. I'd watch it if I were you." Katara said trying to warn them, even though she knew Sokka wouldn't do anything to serious.

"Sokka is not sneaky in the least bit. I could hear him coming from 50 miles away." Toph said with a smug smile.

"Yeah," Aang said in agreement, "and even if he had Suki help him, Toph would be able to warn us if he was up to something."

"Well I hope nothing happens to Toph's feet" Katara said in a joking manor.

"Yeah, as long as certain firebender," Toph looked towards the direction where Zuko was sitting, "doesn't burn them again."

"How many times do I have to tell you Toph, I'm sorry." He replied. "I'm already your slave, what else do you want?"

"Nothing, I just like giving you a rough time." Toph said with an evil little chuckle, followed by a yawn.

"What? Is the slave driver sleepy?" Zuko asked sarcastically.

"Why yes I am." She snapped her fingers. "Come on my slave, I'm not going to carry myself to my room."

Zuko got up and walked over to the couch and turned around.

"Hop on you little Hog Monkey." He said as he leaned down for Toph to jump on.

When she got on she gave a swift kick to Zuko's abdomen and said, "Yip. Yip."

Zuko craned his neck to look at her. "Do I look like Appa to you?"

"Sort of. Both of your hair is fluffy." She said as she tousled his hair.

With that they were off down the hallway. Katara loved how everyone was in such a good mood. She wondered if they were also trying to make their, maybe, last few days together memorable, or if they thought they would just show up, kill the Fire Lord, and then return home like any other day.

She yawned and realized that she was also very tired. "I think I'm going to go to bed also" she said as she got to her feet.

"Me too," Aang agreed.

Katara was starting to go towards the stairs when Aang suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Do I get a good night kiss?" he asked.

"Sure," Katara leaned down and kissed Aang on the cheek. "Good night Aang."

"Good night Katara." He said as he blushed, rubbing the back of his neck.

As Katara walked up the stairs she thought about all of her relationships with the people she lived with.

Sokka was her brother, which was obvious. And even though he got under her skin most of the time, she still loved him. Suki was her brother's girl friend. She was much like the older sister Katara always wanted. Toph was rude and obnoxious, but Katara was the mother-figure that she needed. Sure they disagreed on a lot of things, but the love was there. Zuko hadn't been a part of their "family" but for only a month or so, but he was good with Toph. He kept her entertained, and he was the only one that could make her eat her vegetables.

And then there was Aang. Katara knew that he had feelings for her, and she had feelings for him to. He was a part of her. She had brought him back to life, they were connected.

She opened her door and flopped down on her bed. She was so happy that Zuko had suggested moving into his parent's old beach house, it was much more comfortable than the Western Air Temple. She much preferred sleeping in a big comfy bed, instead of the cold, hard ground.

As Katara laid there, she thought about how her life would change if Aang successfully brought down the Fire Lord.

Would Sokka and Suki get married, and make Suki her official sister? Would Toph go back home, and make up with her parents? Would Zuko become Fire Lord? And then bigger questions popped up in her head. What would happen between her and Aang? Would they be more than just friends? Was it even possible?

She slowly drifted off to sleep with these questions circling in her head.
