This chapter goes back to the first one and expands the events in it

I do not own Avatar the last airbender

Aang was standing on the balcony as the sun was setting down the horizon. As he watched the sun go down his love interest, Katara walked out of the tea shop to join him. He turned to look at her pretty face. She never looked better. She was wearing a green kimono and had a pink flower in her hair which went wonderful with her natural colors. Her skin was as nice as it always seemed to him; and her eyes... those big pretty blue eyes. Her blue orbs peered deeply into his and he could see a hint of shyness in them but also a lot of happiness compassion and love…

Feeling the need to express his affection to her he brought her into a hug which she gladly and warmly returned. He held her in his arms in a warm, loving embrace never wanting to let go. He felt he could stay like this forever and a part of him wanted to. After a few minutes he separated from the hug and looked her in the eyes. It seemed like he's peering into an infinite ocean of blue filled with emotions he thought were only his. Their faces inched closer to each other as their eyes slowly closed shut. He could feel her warm breath on his chin as he let his heart guide him towards her until their lips met for the first mutually wanted kiss of their lives. He felt an enormous feeling of euphoria and happiness and compassion overwhelm his heart, soul and body… he could feel his body temperature go up, he could feel his heartbeat accelerate; before long all he could think about was the feeling of her lips pressed against his, the flower scent of her hair and the close proximity between them…

Before long he found himself wrapping his arms around her neck and she did the same with his as they kissed not wanting to let go. They were so overwhelmed and happily addicted to the kiss and the feeling of it and of their close proximity and to each other's scent that they started breathing through their noses to prevent themselves from asphyxiating during the kiss…

Aang leaned forward and downward until they were both on their knees as they made out. Finally the need for air was no longer escapable and they finally parted by mere centimeters. They peered into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity and then Katara simply threw herself into her beloved's arms and sighed happily

"I love you Aang… with all my heart… I love you so much I can't even describe it…"

"I love you too Katara. I always have. I'll never stop loving you no matter what…" he said happily as she sighed with happiness and content

"Now we can be together…" she said happily

"Forever…" added Aang as Katara nodded happily into his shoulder as a single tear of happiness dropped out of her eye

"Yeah…"

"Forever…"

The couple sat there for another hour or so embracing each other in their arms until Aang had an idea. He wanted to do something special for his beloved Katara and he knew just the thing

"You want to come with me? I want to show you something"

"What?"

"It's a surprise" Aang said and smiled shyly, a small blush forming on his face

Katara laughed

"Yeah okay, I'll go with you. Where are we going?"

"Somewhere very special… to both of us…" he said and a curious look on Katara's face seemed to form

They walked out of the tea shop and got on Appa's back. They took off into the darkening sky and headed to a destination known only to Aang. As they flew Katara was sitting behind Aang with her arms wrapped around him as she rubbed the arrow on his head while he steered Appa. While passing by a few tall trees Aang reached his hand towards them and picked a few fruits for them to have. After a while they started to descend until they landed at grassy area with a river and a waterfall. They got off Appa's back and looked around

"Look familiar?" asked Aang

"A little but I can't put my finger on it"

"I think I can help you remember…"

"How?" asked Katara as she turned to face her loved one to see his hand reached towards her. In the dimly lit sky she could see he was holding something; something she once wore around her neck

"Aang? Is that?..." she began as he nodded happily at her

She reached her hand for his and held the necklace in her hands. It was made from flowers and had a pink one in its center. Aang made it for her after her mom's necklace got lost. Only now did she realize how much she appreciated it

"This is where you gave it to me…" said Katara and looked around as he nodded

"You never answered my question then"

"What do you mean?"

"How did I look" she added as Aang blushed again as she laughed

"I think you never looked prettier or better…" he said happily

"Really?"

"Really"

This seemed to make Katara reach a decision. She reached her hands for her neck and unlaced her mother's necklace and placed the one Aang made for her on her neck instead.

"How do I look now?" she asked

"Divine…" said Aang and leaned forward to kiss her once more, once parted they sat on the grass holding hands as the sky grew darker and darker...

Aang reached for his pocket and took out the fruits he picked earlier

"Care for a little picnic?" he asked and offered her the fruit. Katara simply smiled as she grabbed one of the fruits and kissed him on the cheek and nuzzled her head into his. He returned the gesture

"I'd love too" she said once they parted and kissed him on the lips once more as they lay down on their backs with their heads leaning on each other's shoulders while eating their little snack as they slowly drifted to sleep in each other's arms only to wake up a very happy couple indeed…
