Still not sure if this story is too cheesy, but here I go…short, sappy, cheesy drabble :D

See, this is what happens when I try to write a story in less than 150 words…but hey, I should've done this a while ago anyway, so…

Disclaimer: Do I even have to say it?


Avatar Red

They were just watching the sunset when she asked, "So what's your favorite color?"

Well, that was new.

"Uh…" Aang paused. "Y'know, I've never really thought about that…I guess it's…uh…blue," Aang blurted out. He snuck another look at Katara. "Yeah, definitely blue. Why do you ask?"

"I just realized that I didn't even know your favorite color," Katara replied, grinning. "Blue, huh? That's interesting…"

"Is blue your favorite color too?" Aang asked. Come to think of it, he didn't know her favorite color either…

"No, it's…" Katara trailed off midsentence with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Don't tell me you don't know your favorite color either," Aang teased. When Katara didn't respond, still lost in thought, Aang asked, "Is it a secret or something? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

A slow smile began to spread over Katara's face, but she still didn't respond.

"Katara?"

Aang was beginning to think that Katara had suddenly lost the ability to talk.

"Katara," Aang said again, waving a hand in front of Katara's face. "You okay?"

Katara seemed to have found something extremely interesting to look at in the distance.

Aang brought his face in front of Katara's, at least hoping to get some kind of reaction from Katara for blocking her view. "What are you loommph—"

Before he knew it, he was somehow kissing Katara.

Katara didn't let him pull away until his brain felt like a pile of mush and he was nearly out of breath.

That was a first for Aang, master airbender.

"O-okay," he managed to gasp out, "that was…nice…completely unexpected, but nice…but what does that have to do with your favorite color?"

Katara smirked. "I just realized what my favorite color was," she answered. "Avatar red."

"I've never heard of that before," Aang said. Suddenly, his eyes widened. "Oh! I know what you mean! You're talking about Avatar Roku's temple in the Fi—"

Katara interrupted him by kissing him a second time.

Not even meditation could've thrown Aang into this kind of a trance.

"Wha…what…"

Aang didn't understand what "Avatar red" was until Katara tapped his burning cheeks.


So…there you have it! I still think this was sorta cheesy but meh. Then again, the first draft was waaaaaaaaaay cheesier and even I, the author, cringed internally when I read it.

Read and review please! :D
