Aang woke up with sun beaming at his face. It seemed like a very bright morning, of course, Aang didn't know that yet since his eyes still remained close. He tossed a bit, but finally decided to open his eyes.

And it was a bright morning. The sun seemed to be all over the place, his room had become a bit brighter. The sun hit exactly the shades of gold and orange. Aang felt a bit agitated yet very overwhelm with content, but he didn't know exactly why. The bed was much undone, and much to his surprise he realized that someone was missing. Next to him lay a spot that was empty, perhaps it had been a dream? "No, not likely", he thought, "It felt too real."

He Aang began to sit up, when in walked in Naylin with the morning tea. Every single morning, Naylin the housekeeper would come in with Aang's special herbal tea. It was an ancient monk tea made to keep the senses balance, harmony in the body, mind and spirit. It was quite strong and better served hot.

Aang was very confused, "What time is it, Naylin?" "Eight fourteen, why, your highness?" Naylin asked as she brought the tea tray to his bedside. She poured some to empty cup. It was very warm and smelled great to Aang. "Ah, I see." Aang said. "I'm sorry, I didn't come here earlier," Naylin began saying. Since tea for Aang was usually served around 7 A.M. "But Lord Mizaki said you might be busy or something..." she said quite shamefully."Yeah busy," Aang thought to himself.

He began to think whether Mizaki had planned this. "Well it was certainly a present! Aang thought. "Would, your highness, want me to retire so you may dress yourself?" Naylin asked politely. "Dress myself?" Aang was saying curiously when he suddenly realized he was naked. Well nearly, only a thin white sheet covered him from the waist down. He began to panic. "Oh yes, you may go!" Aang said quickly. Naylin stood up, a bit embarrassed. As she walking out the door she said, "OH, what do I tell Miss Katara?"

"Katara?" Aang replied loudly.

Katara stood in the middle of ballroom, not sure where to go. "My,Castilla is pretty big." she said to herself as she walked to empty room. Katara was quite in awe of it,somehow. Even though she had been here once or twice before she never got used to the size of the villa or mansion. So many rooms,wings and gardens. "It's a beautiful place,though," Katara said to herself again.

She was lovely woman,quite youthful for her age yet extremely mature. She had trimmed her brown locks a bit but still let them down. Her eyes were that same bright blue,they had been that same color for years. And she wore strick Water Tribe apparel yet she was dressed in her formal clothes. She was indeed a beautiful girl.

She wondered where the dining room could be? Maybe west or east,she did not know. She had planned to ask the maid who had let her in the house but she rushed somewhere else. It was tough to find assistance in this place,everyone seemed busy.

Katara thought about how Sokka and Suki and how they were doing,she had left them near the villa as they stopped by the stores to buy some is probably bargaining or something,Katara thought.

Katara continued walking when she spotted a girl in the middle of the corridor. She was of white skin and had long ebony locks,she seemed sort of dazed and confused. She was also wearing some splendid set of robes. They were a seagreen with some gold on it,it was a bit fancy for a maid. But the one thing Katara couldn't help notice was just how lovely she was. She was extremely beautiful. She was perhaps the most beautiful maid Katara had ever seen.

The girl seemed to mutter something as she spotted Katara. Her pale green eyes grew wide and stare of amazement seemed to sweep her.

"Hi," Katara said nicely,"Do you happen to know where the Dining room is?" "Oh,ah,I don't know." the girl replied quite awkardly. "I kind of have to go that way..." and as she said the girl ran off to some other direction.

"Maids really have to go off,here." Katara said to herself. She also thought that was the loveliest uniform she had ever seen.

The girl with the set of green and gold robes trailed across the hall. She honestly did not know where she was going or where she wanted to go. She was kind of anxious almost panicking. She had seen her,"wow,Katara is sure pretty,"she thought. She finally arrived at the dining room. "So here is the dining room." she said to herself.

An old lady walked in,"Hello,can I help you?" she said. The girl said quite quickly,"Ah...Um,yes,I'm hungry. I want some...toast. Yes I would like some toast."

"Toast? Well sure come in to the kitchen,honey." the old lady said warmly.

The girl walked into the kitchen slowly,it was awfully big. The women were chopping,frying,stirring and baking,they all seemed busy. The old lady sat her down and gave her some toast and some honey. The girl began to look at it for awhile,she loved looking at things. Just the fact the fact to see the colors and shades was amazing to her. She noticed that everyone seemed to look at her,especially the old lady. "Umm,what's wrong?" the girl asked curiously. "Nothing," the old lady said,"You're very pretty you know that?" "Yes,I know that..." the girl replied taking a hard bite of her toast.

Aang walked quickly through the hallways,he was in haze. He wasn't sure whether he was looking for Katara or the girl,if she was even still here.

"Aang!" a girl yelled out. Aang turned around to see Katara running up to him. She gave him a big,long hug. He had grown a bit taller,taller than last time they hugged. He was very happy to see her,just to see her alive and happy. "Katara," he said,"what are you doing here? They just told me you arrived earlier this morning." "Yes I did," she said letting him go. "But Aang,you really think I would miss your birthday? I mean,I know it was yesterday,but I still managed to be here today to congratulate you!" Katara said quite cheerfully.

"I'm your friend,Aang,I'm always going to be here for you." she concluded giving him another tight hug. Aang smiled. Katara truly made him happy. "Well,of course,it's not just me...Sokka and Suki came along." Katara said smiling. "Sokka is here?" Aang was very excited it had been awhile since he last saw or heard of Sokka. Suki usually came by the Earth Kingdom usually to check up on her family,she always came by to visit Aang.

"Yes,but it seems they got a bit distracted in the bazaar." Katara said amusingly,"you know how Sokka is." Aang smiled,he knew how Sokka was. Just how crazy,unpredictable and funny he was. He really missed his jokes...

"Anyway,I'm starving,I been trying to find the dining room!" Katara said. "Really? Why?" Aang asked quickly. "Because silly,we came here to have breakfast with you! As your after-party breakfast birthday party or something. Well that's what Sokka said." she said.

"Oh of course,it's this way." Aang said a bit more relaxed. It was nice to see some familar faces.

They made their way into the spacious dining room,it was long brown table very simple but at the same time quite luxurious. The room had a fancy air to it all.

Katara managed to sit herself as Aang pull the chair slowly. "Thanks," she mumbled. "Your welcome," he replied.

An old lady walked in with some toast. "Would you start serving breakfast,Uyen?" Aang said politely. "Why yes,your highness!" Uyen replied graciously. "Your highness?" Katara snickered. "Yeah,that's how they address me.." he said a bit embarassed. Aang looked down on the empty seats then he added, "Oh and put some more places,we're having company. Two more friends are on their way."

"Yes,your highness! Five seats in total," Uyen said as she trailed back to the kitchen leaving the two alone in the empty room.

Katara and Aang stood a moment smiling at each other,they had sure missed each other. Aang a bit more than her. "So how have you been?" Aang asked Katara,but before she could answer they heard the doorbell.

"I'll get it!" said Ping,one of the door men.

"Aaaang!" a wild yell came from outside the dining room. Aang immediately know who it was. "Sokkaaa!" Aang said loudly and happily. The tall bronze man was very muscular yet his face kept that funny look,which signified his wacky sense of humor. By his side,stood,a tall,beautiful woman with brown hair and sparkly eyes,"Suki!," Aang said happily.

Sokka hugged Aang warmly,he didn't seem to let go. "Sokka...you're squishing me." Aang managed to say. "Oh,I'm sorry,Aang,you airhead Avatar!" he said rather playfully. "Aang,how you been?" Suki said giving Aang a quick hug. "Good,rather good," he replied.

"And you guys?" Aang asked. "We've been wonderful." Suki said cheerfully. "Yeah,Aang,you should of seen the things they got out there in the bazaar,there some weird firecrackers and wolf-unicorn armors..." Sokka was saying as Suki interrupted.

"Toph?" she said happily.

Everyone turned around to see who she was talking to.

In the middle of the door way stood that same beautiful girl Katara was seen with loveliest robes she had ever seen. The same girl,Aang met yesterday,with the dark ebony long hair and beautiful green eyes. She was holding a plate with two toasted breads.

Everyone stood there perplexed,as Suki asked ,"What are you doing here?"

"Oh,I'm just here for...the toast." the girl replied.

I hope you guys like toast,and this chapter!
