I don't think I have introduced myself, my name is Blue. I'm into Avatar and other stuff. I'm really glad people are enjoying my story and I would really like to hear your thoughts on it.
I do have one question, do people want Tokka, because I wasn't planning on it, but you know people might want it. If anyone has any ideas tell me about them. They might really help me or they could be really good.

Katara slowly woke stretching. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes she looked around. The Waterbender was surprised to see that she was back in her own room. Last thing she remembered was lying under the stars with Aang.
"I must have dozed off," Katara muttered as she got out of bed.
Katara went to her wardrobe and pick out her same old outfit before slipping in on. She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and hair. Next, after she was all ready, she headed down to the kitchen to eat some breakfast.
She was surprised to see Aang and Toph already up and eating.
"Good morning." Katara greeted as she took a seat next to Aang.
"Good morning." Aang answered and gave her a smile.
Toph just muttered something inaudible as a greeting.
Katara grabbed a plate and placed some pancakes on it.
If the two, Aang and Katara, would have not been to busy eating they would have seen an evil smirk appear on Toph's face.
Choosing the right moment or mouth full Toph spoke up, "So what did you two do last night?"
Aang immediately started to choke on his food while Katara quickly swallowed hers. The Waterbender now worried about her friend offered him a glass of water. Aang instantly grabbed the glass and chugged it.
Toph, who was laughing throughout the whole scene, wiped the tears from her eyes. What really got Toph into another laughing fit was when Aang answered, "Oh…nothing."
Toph stopped once she received a glare from Katara. "Oh calm down Sugar Queen. It's just you were outside for hours. You guys must have had a lot of fun." Toph said suggestively.
Aang blushed madly, "Nothing happened…just a little waterbending practice."
Toph shook her head, "Sure, sure whatever you say. Just make sure Snoozles doesn't find out, he would have a fit." Toph stood up and walked away. Probably to wake up Snoozles…I mean Sokka.
Because of Toph's comment breakfast between Aang and Katara became very awkward. Neither spoke and neither made the notion that the other was there. That was until Aang started to glance over at Katara every few minutes. Katara's cheeks were painted red with a blush. Aang wasn't doing any better. He already had a bright red hue on his face from Toph, but now it was only getting redder every time he looked at Katara and got caught.
Soon Aang's face was as red as a cherry. Katara couldn't contain herself anymore. She broke out laughing at the state of her best friend. Which every time the Waterbender laughed the Airbender laughed. So it turned into a laughing fit. Either side not being able to stop, just like last night.
Around the corner you could see Toph shaking her head and muttering, "Twinkle Toes and Sugar Queen have a long way to go." She then departed not wanting to eavesdrop anymore. Her next victim for this morning was Snoozles who was about to have a very rude awakening. Signal maniacal laughter.
After loud shouts and screams of horror from Sokka. Everyone had finished eating and was off to enjoy their day in Ba Sing Se. Each of the Gaang having different ideas about how they would spend their day spilt up.
Aang convinced Katara to see the zoo he made years ago. She had never truly seen it. Toph convinced Sokka that they should see if there were any Earth Rumbles in the Earth Kingdom.
So they spit up into pairs and went of to find their desired destinations.
Aang and Katara did find the zoo. Katara was in awe about the power that earthbending had. They looked around and saw that there were many more animals and that earthbenders had added onto the zoo. They spent hours wondering the zoo and being swarmed by citizens surprised to see the Avatar there.
After almost being mobbed at the zoo, Aang and Katara fled to a small café. Realizing they were both starving, seeing it was around 1 o'clock, they sat down to eat.
"Hey I'm Yuan, what's your order?" the waiter spoke as he winked at Katara.
Aang spoke up, "We'll have some jasmine tea."
Yuan snapped out of thoughts immediately, "Yes sir, it will be here in a few moments."
Katara gave Aang a confused look, "What was that for?"
Aang blushed, "He was flirting with you."
"Well, I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself." Katara said as she looked back at the menu.
Yuan returned and placed the tea on the table, "Anything else I can do for you?" flashing a smile at Katara.
Katara answered this time, "No thank you."
Yuan was about to walk away when he asked, "Are you two a couple?"
Aang burnt his hand. For Yuan's question caught him off balance almost losing his grip on the cup splashing tea on him. He looked up Katara waiting for her answer.
Katara getting the message answered, "Sorry, we're not. We're just really good friends."
"Oh well then my apologies. You two just acted like one." Yuan finished before walking off.
The Avatar seemed a little out of it after he heard Katara's answer. Sure it was the obvious one, but it saddened Aang to know Katara and him would never be together.
After the two finished their tea they headed back to the house. When they arrived they found Toph and Sokka already there. Both were sitting down laughing and counting money they had some how gained.
"What have you two been up to?" Aang question when he looked at their large pile of gold pieces.
"Well, we did find an Earth Rumble in the city and Toph entered it. I knew she'd win so I placed all of our money on her. She wiped the floor with the competition and we are now 200 gold pieces richer."
Toph laughed and spoke up, "Like taking candy from a baby." Sokka and Toph high-fived each other.
Katara, now angry, scolded, "You two know gambling is bad! I thought both of you learned your lesson four years ago when we first went through this!"
"Oh come on Sugar Queen, don't be such a party pooper. It was only a one time thing." Toph answered as she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah Sugar Queen don't be a wet blanket." Sokka added.
Katara shot Sokka a hard glare. "I mean Katara." Sokka said as he correct himself.
Aang gently placed his hand on Katara's shoulder, "Just let them be. Plus we can use that money to help the village that we are going to."
Sokka grumbled, "Aang! You goody-two-shoe…fine we'll give the money away."
"Snoozles!" Toph growled.
"Oh come on he would have done the same thing without our permission. Anyway you are already rich!"
Toph thought for a minute, "Yeah I am rich, aren't I? Okay Twinkle Toes," Toph chucked the bag of money at Aang, "you hold onto and donate it to the village or whatever."
Aang turned to Katara waving the money in front of her face, "See I got it covered. All in a days work for the Avatar."
Katara flashed Aang a smile, "Thanks," She gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then she addressed the whole group, "I'm going to pack up. Everyone get a good night sleep tonight. Tomorrow is going to be a long day." With that she walked back to her room to prepare herself for the trip.
Aang was frozen with the goofiest grin on his face. Sokka stood up and stared waving his hand in front of Aang's face, "Hello anyone home? Earth to Aang? HELLLLOOOO!?!?!"
Aang shook his head snapping out of his trance, "You say something Sokka?"
"Yeah your pants are on fire." Sokka crossed his arms watching the Airbender walk away.
"That's nice."
"Azula is right behind you."
"Say hi for me." Aang kept walking away towards the stables.
"Your face is blue."
"Thanks so is yours." Aang exited the house to feed Appa.
Sokka sat back down scratching his head, "What was that about?"
Toph answered uninterestedly, "He acts like that when he is around Katara. It is a separation anxiety thing. That's why he spends so much time with her now."
"Oh so he still likes her?" Sokka questioned.
"Yep. Madly and deeply. He's crazy about her." Toph started to pick her nose.
"Why aren't they together yet?"
Toph started to roll her bugger into a ball, "He's waiting for Sugar Queen's acceptance…how does she feel about him?"
Sokka stared at the ceiling thinking, "Hard to tell. She has changed so much."
"She seems the same." Toph flicked her bugger away.
"You'll see. You'll see what I mean."
