Aang woke up the next day to the sounds of creeking floor boards. He opened his eyes tiredly. "Katara?" He sighed. "Is that you?" He turned his head to the hallway, "Ya it's me. Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." He sat up and smiled, "It's alright. I have to feed Appa anywa- Were are you going?"
He cut him self off as he watched her put on her parka. "Well someone has to do the shopping in this house. Maybe I can get in a little water bending too." She smiled. "Well if you give me a second.. I'll come with you." She put on her boots, "Sure." Aang got up off of the couch and walked to the door. He slid on his parka and boots and stepped into the freezing weather. He shiverd and said, "How do you live in this weather?"
She chuckled a bit and said, "You get used to it." Aang turned to the back of the house and went to the stables. As he got in he placed some hay infront of Appa. "There ya go buddy. I'll pick up some cabages while were at the market." Appa grunted. He smiled and petted Appa quickly. Just as he was about to turn around he felt something hit him in the back causing him to topple over.
Aang was shocked. "Got ya!" He herd. He got up and turned around. "Hey! What was that for?" Katara smirked widely, "Well I thought that would get you used to the snow a bit more." Aang smiled and picked up some snow and formed a snow ball. He heard a playfull scream as Katara tried to get away. Aang threw it and hit her in the back of the head. "Hey! No head shots!" Katara said as she through a snowball at his head which he easily dodged. "Nice try!" He taunted. As he countinued to taunt Katara threw a snowball at him and hit him in the face.
As they countinued their snowball fight Aang could swear it was one of those moments. You know with the sweet music playing in the backround. He lost his train of thought when Katara got him right in the face again. "Hey! I thought we agreed on no head shots!" She giggled, "I lied." Aang smiled and chased after her. "Hey wait what's that?" She turned around, "What?" Just as Aang was about to say GOTCH YA he slipped on a patch of ice and despritly grabbed onto Katara.
Of course they fell. Katara on top on him, they were only inches apart. Katara had him pinned. "Sorry" He said blushing. "It's ok." she said smiling. "Uhmm... Katara.. You can get up now..." She smirked, "But what if I don't want to get up?" Aang sighed, "C'mon Katara. We gotta get to the market." She sighed and got up, "Aang.. What's wrong?" He sighed heavily, "Nothing.. I just think we should stop fooling around..."
Katara rolled her eyes heavily. "Aang.. I thought... I thought you loved me." He sat up and put his heads in his hands, "I do! Katara... I just don't want to loose you." She sat down beside him. "Aang.. What do you mean?" Aang was so frustrated. "Katara... I promise when we get back from the market I'll tell you everything. Okay?" She agreed and helped him up. "Well then let's get going." He smiled dusting himself off. He waved to Appa and they left.
With in 5 minutes they were there. They picked up a few things. But Katara stopped amedietly when she say the most beautiful bracelet. It reminded her of the one Aang had made her all those years ago. She picked it up and exaimend it. It was braided with what felt like white and black silk string. Right in the middle had a dark blue stone with the water tribe symbol. She smiled then looked at the price. "Ouch.. To expensive.." Katara sighed as she walked away. Aang picked up the braclet and threw a pouch of money at the man, "Keep the change."
The man agreed happily. "Thanks." Aang shoved the bracelet in his pocket. "Hey Katara! Wait up!" She turned and said, "C'mon slow poke! We gotta get home before Sokka wakes up!" Aang cought up to her and smiled, "What? He wants his breakfest ready and waiting?" She smiled, "Well if he's lucky." A thought struck him, "So were's Toph? I havn't seen her yet." Katara smiled and said, "Well she's gunna be in Bei sing sae for the next two weeks. She's teaching kids there."
He nodded slightly sad that he wasn't going to be able to see her. The rest of the walk was silent. Finally they had arrived at the house. They got inside and undressed. Aang followed Katara into the kitchen and helped her put things away. Pretty much guessing were everything went.
"Well... start talking." She said. "Ok.. well I guess it starts with this girls Nali-" Aang was cut off by the loud booming of Sokka's voice, "Gooood Morning!" He said. Katara rolled her eyes, "Aang and I were just talking." Sokka looked confused, "Well.. Continue... Just pretend like I'm not here." Aang sighed and whisperd into Katara's ear. "I'll tell you later." He gently kissed her on the cheek and said, "Well I promised Appa some cabbages. So I'll be back in a few minutes." Katara wanted to scream with frustration.
'Why was he confusing her like this. First he acts like he doesn't love her anymore. Then a second later he's telling me he loves me. Then just as he was about to explain why, Meathead interupts and then he kissed me on the cheek and runs. BOYS!" She grunted and said, " Just for that.. Make your own breakfest" Sokka started to pout, "What'd I do?" She sighed and said under breath, "Everything."
