I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Chapter 3: Explaining

Katara's POV:

Sokka had taken Aang to the kitchen so I came along.

"Ok. First, I just want to know one thing," I began to prepare for what he was asking. "You guys didn't do what I think you did, did you?" he said through clenched teeth.

I mean, he has nothing against Aang, I can tell, he just is worried about his little sister. Me. I understand why he would be angry, and he will be grateful to hear we didn't do anything. He doesn't even have to worry because I'm not ready to mother a child...NO WAY! I'm fifteen! ugh..

"Sokka, don't worry," I said in a calming voice. "We didn't do anything, Aang was just visiting to say good morning.."

"Oh, really? and that explains why his shirt is off?" he said pointing to Aang.

"Well uh...he sleeps like that."

Sokka grinned. "How did I know you were going to make that remark? It's okay Katara, I find it quite amusing you two try to keep your 'secret' relationship from me." He smirked and began to laugh. "You two are pathetic."

"Wow, your a nice brother," I said in a sarcastic voice.

"Hey! I'm just a brother trying to see if his sister is going out with the avatar." He smiled, but then it quickly turned to a frown. "I'm okay with you two dating and stuff, but I have two conditions."

"Ugh," I said. "What are they?"

"One: If you guys are gonna...ya know, GET A ROOM. And Two: Be careful... I know where these things lead, and I'm not really approving of a shirtless guy in my sisters bed," he said narrowing his eyes in a sarcastic way at Aang.

Aang rubbed the back of his head and smiled. I could see that he was blushing. Seeing him doing all this together made my heart melt.

"Aang isn't some shirtless guy in my bed, he's my boyfriend. There's a difference," I said putting my hands on my hips.

"Finally! You admit it!"

Toph walked in smiling, but then her mouth turned into an 'o' shape looking surprised. "Am I interrupting something?" she asked.

"No, no, Katara just finally admitted they're going out," Sokka said.

"Hahahahahaha, really? ya know..." Toph said laughing. "I kinda sorta maybe knew about this the whole time..."

"You...WHAT?" Sokka said, and we all started laughing.

I am so happy that Sokka is okay with me and Aang going out. I mean this whole time, I was worried wether he'd be okay with it or not. Now, I can be with Aang forever.

A:POV

I had been laying in my bed for at least an hour now thinking about Katara. I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with her... I just am. I was lost in daydreams, but was interrupted by a knock to my door. In came Sokka saying that there were people at the door looking for me from the white lotus. I groaned and got out of bed.

When I got to the door I said 'hi' to Iroh and the other members. They told me they needed to tell me something in private. I walked with them outside the house and shut the door behind me.

"So what do you need?" I asked.

"Well, as part of bringing back air nomad culture...you need to... make new airbenders. I know your at a young age, but we need to start the culture again as soon as possible, and that is now."

My heart began to race as I remembered Katara. I don't want to make babies until I'm older, let alone with someone that wasn't Katara.

"Um...well, if I have to... can I uh... make airbenders with Katara..?"

They all looked at me, puzzled.

"I-Isn't she a bender?" Iroh asked.

"Yes, but why does that matter?"

"Well, the chances are higher if you..well, ya know, with someone who can't bend."

"Can't I at least try with Katara before starting this program?" I pleaded.

"There is no time for that, Avatar Aang. I am so sorry this has been put on you. We tried to object it, but we don't think there is any other way."

I could feel tears filling my eyes as they leaded me to a strange house with no windows and a blue door.

"In there are fifteen girls close to your age spread out evenly from different nations. I picked ones who could by a 92% chance have an airbender baby. You need to pick 5 of them and begin. Start whenever you like, but 1 month from now is your deadline."

I shivered as I walked in the blue door and shut it behind me.

Before me stood fifteen pretty girls, but they didn't compare to Katara in the slightest bit. They all stared at me, and I could see their eyes move from my face, to my shoulders, to my chest, and then to my stomach and I began to feel uncomfortable. Some stopped there, while the others continued to my waist and then my crotch where their eyes locked for about ten seconds. I couldn't stand this any longer so I spoke and sat down.

"Um, so...do I interview you guys or something?"

They all were silent, until one girl with long, red hair spoke. "That could work.." she blushed and I smiled at her, trying to seem calm though I was slowly cracking on the inside. "If we do that... can I uh...go first?"

"Sure," I said grinning.

She walked over to me and sat down about five inches from where I was. She giggled and touched my chest moving closer. I felt a surge of electricity go through my body. Is she going to kiss me? Instead she went to my chest and she breathed in deep, then pulled away.

"Um..." I said confused.

"I just wanted to see what you smell like...I like guys that smell good...and you smell quite good." With that, her face turned red.

"Oh...well thanks...I guess." I gulped then breathed in. You can do this. "So uh, do you wanna ask me questions or something? Or should I ask you questions?"

"Well we can do both, but can I start asking the questions?" she asked politely.

"Sure...but my only question for you before we start is...what's your name?"

"Oh, sorry, my name is Ming...and you don't have to tell me yours, Avatar Aang."

"Okay... now ask away."

For about ten minutes she asked me questions about my traditions, while I just asked her simple questions. When we finished talking she kissed me on the lips and didn't pull away until she had her tongue in my mouth for about three seconds. When she pulled away I was puzzled and felt gross. I don't want to kiss anyone who isn't Katara! It made me mad but I got over it, as I interviewed six other girls who kissed me the same way Ming had. After the seventh girl I said I would interview the others tomorrow and I walked back to where my love was- home.
