Yes, I realize this is out or order. It's mid-terms week and I've been busy. :/
Snowball Fights
It was a strange tradition the five of them had--getting together every summer solstice in the South Pole for a rousing snowball fight. Zuko hated it because of the cold and Toph hated it because it made her feel like she was truly blind, but each and every year they showed up on the shore outside of the village amidst the ice and each year, no matter how often they had seen each other separately, they were all together again.
"Toph, Toph!" Aang shouted, "throw it to your left! Your left!"
The blind earthbender turned, chucking it towards the sound of boots in the snow and was rewarded with a smack of snow against skin and a yelp from Sokka. "That hit me in the face!"
"Serves you right, Meathead!" Toph countered back with a smirk before scooping up a fresh handful. "Now who's next?"
Aang's eyes scanned over the area and he saw Zuko peeking out from behind the snow fort Katara and Sokka had whipped up earlier for protection. Wait. He frowned suddenly, standing up a little straighter as he spoke aloud, "Where is Katara?"
As if to answer his question there was a light tap on his shoulder and Aang whipped himself around to stare his (deviously smirking) girlfriend in the eyes. His jaw went slack just as she smashed two handfuls of snow into his face.
Aang sputtered in surprise, wiping at his face in shock before he remembered he could waterbend and he willed the snow off his face. Katara was still grinning widely at him, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Are you cold?" She joked at him with a wink and Aang pretended to appear affronted for a few moments more before he lunged at her with a grin, plowing them both into the ground.
"I don't know," he quipped gently as he brushed his nose against hers, "are you?"
