Chapter 5 happy new year
It was Chinese New Year's Eve and there is going to be a festival at the local market. It was sunset and the festival was due to start an hour after nightfall so everyone was getting ready. The boys took a dip in the lake to get clean while the girls were getting ready for the party. Katara was gonna were a blue kimono while Toph would wear a light green one. Aang would wear black pants and a white button down shirt while Sokka would wear blue pants and a black shirt. Suki was gonna wear a black dress. After the boys got out of the lake and got dressed they went to greet the girls. When Aang saw Katara in her kimono his face became redder than the setting sun behind them.
"You look beautiful…" he said and she blushed slightly at his words
"Thank you…" she replied with a smile as they kissed lightly while Sokka and Suki went through a similar routine.
An hour later the gang was walking towards the local market which was down the valley they camped above. They could see festival lights in the distance and heard festive music coming from the market. Aang laced his arm around Katara's as Sokka did the same with his own girlfriend. When they arrived they saw the festival has already started. The market was filled with different stands selling things like food, souvenirs, jewelry and other things. At the end of the line of merchandise stands was a wooden stage on which a few musicians played musical instruments consisting a harp, a banjo and some drums.
"Wow… this place looks great…" said Katara happily
"Where should we go first?" asked Suki
"Why don't we split up and meet back at the camp site after the festival ends?" suggested Sokka
"Good idea" replied Aang as they went their separate ways
"Don't forget to stay for the fireworks at midnight!" Sokka called after them as they walked away
"This place is awesome…" Said Aang as they walked across the aisle of stands.
The market was placed right by the beach so the two young lovers decided to sit on the sand for a while. They sat beside each other holding hands as they looked at the full moon reflect in the ocean water…
"It's so beautiful…" said Katara dreamily as Aang kissed her cheek
"Not as beautiful as you are…" he grinned as she planted a kiss on his lips
"I love you…" she said as she rested her forehead on his
"I love you…" he smiled and they kissed again. They sat on the sand cuddled in each other's arms for what seemed like hours until they decided to explore the festival. While exploring the festival they found a place selling delicious food so they decided to sit down and eat some of it. The food was indescribably good. It was the juiciest and most best seasoned food they have ever eaten. The meat was just right and the rice was nice and warm. After they were done eating they paid the bill and went to a stand where you need to throw a ball to knock down bottles in order to win a prize. One of them was a big furry animal doll which Katara fell in love with. So he decided to try his luck and managed to win her the doll which earned him a kiss on the cheek.
It was a few minutes before midnight and the two kids stood beside each other holding hands as Katara spoke
"That was the best night of my life… thank you Aang…" she said as planted a soft kiss on his lips. Just as they broke apart they heard a loud whistle and then saw a bright flash of light followed by a big bang.
"Wow…" she whispered as they watched the fireworks show…
They stood there hands clasped in each other watching the fireworks do their magic. It was very romantic… they knew they were meant for each other… and they couldn't be happier about it…
