This story has over 100 Reviews...that's fucking amazing. Happy New Year Everyone, I wanted to get one more chapter out this year...well, for me anyways, you'll probably read this Jan 1. Anyways, I hope you're all having a Happy New Year. Also, I wanted to mention, if you are Kataang fan, which I think you all are since you're reading my story this far, another writer 'creativeant' is making a great story Calling the Moon (.net/s/7643092/1/Calling_of_the_Mooon) So after this, I suggest you read it. One last thing, the songs I'm using in this story are: Killing in the Name Of by Rage against the Machine, Hotel California by The Eagles and Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold as a little tribute to their late drummer who died 2 years ago this month, but anyways, I suggest you give them a listen if you haven't and on with the story!
"Hey everyone!" Haru called out, the crowd cheered. "How's everyone doing tonight?" They cheered again. "Well, that's not really an answer, but okay. We have a surprise for you tonight. I guess you all know the band 'Unholy Forest' right?" They cheered even louder, "Well, they aren't here tonight." They 'awed'. "I'm just fucking with you all, they're here with us tonight. What we are going to do is play a couple songs each, starting with them." They went wild. "Yeah, yeah, calm down. There is also something else. I bet you know their bassist, correct?" There were several whistles. "Yeah, well too bad I'm going out with her tonight, be jealous." Zuko elbowed him, "Fine, I'll get to the point. If my band does better than them tonight, I get to pick the date and if her band does better, she picks the date, so it's all up to you." They cheered again. "So we'll let them go first, then we'll play, how does that sound." The crowd screamed. "Cool then, 'Unholy Forest', you're up!" Haru and Zuko got off the stage and went back into the 'dressing room' in the club. "You know, I could get use to playing shows with you guys." He said to Hikari as she got her bass.
"If this dating thing goes well, I'll think about it," She teased.
"Get up there and start playing so we can kick your butt," Haru stuck his tongue out at her. She shut the door behind her and the crowd cheered as the other members all got ready. Zuko, Toph, Sokka, Aang, Katara and Zeroun were all in the room with him. "So how is everything going with you guys?"
"Well Zuko and I have a crazy stalker coming after us and trying to break us up...so everything just normal over here," Toph said. "Also, that crazy stalker broke up Sokka and Suki."
He groaned, "Can we not talk about Suki?"
"I second that," Katara added, "I never thought anything could be more disturbing then Sokka and Suki having sex, but apparently there is...Suki and Yue."
"Thanks Katara, I really needed to hear that," Sokka sarcastically said. Ever since Sokka had started living with Haru, Yue was at Katara and Suki's house. Even though it had only been a day, Katara was already sick of them having sex around the house. Suki called if consoling, Katara called it rebound sex.
She frowned, "I'm sorry Sokka."
"How's it going with you and Aang?" Haru asked, leaning back in his chair.
Katara shrugged, "Okay I guess. We're going to my parent's house tonight for dinner so my parents can see me and Aang as a couple."
Haru nodded, taking a drink of his vodka and cranberry, "Good to hear. I heard Aang totally fucked up Lu Ten."
"Oh yeah," Zuko leaned forward on the couch and looked over to Aang, "Thanks for that by the way. I had to talk to my Uncle about that."
"And how did that go?" Aang asked.
He paused for a second, "How do you think? He said that I shouldn't let that happen to my cousin and then gave me advice that harder to decipher than anything on earth."
"Well I'm sorry, I warned your cousin, if he touched me again, I would fucking end him...he touched me, so I threw him into Meng's closest," Everyone laughed, "He was lucky that I didn't do anything worse."
Zeroun wiped his eye, "That's fucking hilarious."
"Anyways, are you sure you can play tonight?" Haru asked, "I don't know how playing the drums will help your injury."
"Well currently I'm on pain pills, so I can barely feel it. I think I'll be fine, unless you want to switch me places," Aang offered.
He laughed, "I would actually like to win where Hikari and I go tonight, if I play, we would be fucked."
"Speaking of that, if you do win, where are you taking my sister?" Zeroun asked.
Everyone else groan as Haru sat confidently, "I'm so glad you asked..."
They ended the song and everyone cheered, "Okay, we have one more song before we have to go. Here's one of our personal favorite songs to do, so if you've been to our shows before, you know what to do. This song, is called Killing in the Name Of by Rage Against the Machine!" Taylor yelled as the crowd cheered. Hikari and Zach started, Ben right after them. Taylor head banged to the beat of the drum. It went silent as Hikari played her part, then Zach and Ben kicked back in. Taylor pointed the mic towards the crowd:
Crowd: Killing in the name of!
Taylor: Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses (x4)
Huh!
Killing in the name of!

Taylor/Crowd: And now you do what they told ya(x10)
But now you do what they told ya

Taylor: Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Uggh!

Taylor: And now you do what they told ya (x4)
(Taylor: And now you do what they told ya
Crowd: Now you're under control (x7))
Taylor: And now you do what they told ya!

Come on!
Yeah! Come on!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me (x16)
Motherfucker!
Uggh!
The crowd cheered as they ended the song. "Thank you Gothic Club, we're 'Unholy Forest'! Our new album will be out next month! Good night!"
After their first couple songs, Haru took a drink from his cup, "Okay, we're at our last song for the night. After this, we'll see who guys thought was better. But before that, for our last song, we're going to need another guitarist. Zach!" The 'dressing room' door open and Zach came with his guitar, everyone cheered as he plugged in and strummed a couple times. "Okay, perfect. Now, let's do this, our last song is Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold. Aang, start us off." He started the beat and then Zuko and Zach both started playing dual guitars. Sokka played to the side of them and spotted Suki in the crowd. She gave him a weak smile, but he turned his view from her to playing.
Haru: Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth's not right (Sokka: with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (Sokka: I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(Aang: I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Aang: Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live!)
Jaws dropped in the crowd as Zuko soloed. Toph smiled, "That's my boyfriend..."
(Haru: *Screaming*)
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right
"Thank you so much everyone!" Haru smiled. "Now, who thinks 'Unholy Forest' did a good job?" They cheered. "Now, who thinks we did a better job?" The crowd cheered louder. "Good to know. Looks like we win. Have a good night everyone."
Everyone started to leave while they packed their stuff up, Aang and Sokka went back into the 'dressing room'. Suki made her way through the crowd and went towards the 'dressing room' door when Zuko and Toph stopped her, "Suki, I think you need to leave." Zuko told her.
"I will once I've talked to Sokka," She was stopped by Toph moving in her way.
She shook her head, "You can talk to him tomorrow or some other time. He doesn't want to talk to you right now."
"Guys," Sokka said from behind them, "Let me talk to her." They obliged and went back to packing their stuff. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry about what happened with us Sokka," She apologized. "But I think I need to explore my sexuality with Yue..."
"Cool, thanks for telling me Suki, I really needed my heart ripped out right now," Sokka turned and walked away from her.
"Wait Sokka," He stopped and turned around, "I want to be with her...but I still love you."
He shook his head, "Well get over me then...you ended our relationship once you fucked Yue again." Sokka grabbed his bass and left. Tears start going down her face as he left the club.
"I can't see where I'm going," She giggled.
"That's the whole point Hikari," Haru laughed. He had walked her around the neighborhood with a blindfold on but brought her back to his house. "I think you're going to like this." He pulled the blindfold off and she gasped. Where just awhile ago Aang was asking Katara out in the backyard, was again lit up with tiki torches but he had now had a table with two chairs and two plates of food in the middle of his backyard.
"It's beautiful," She smiled.
"Just like you," Haru pulled her seat out for her.
Hikari giggled a little, "You're such a gentleman."
He shrugged, "I am when I want to be. Now, I can't take ALL the credit for the food, Sokka help me make most of this."
"Haru, it's just spaghetti with meatballs," She laughed.
"Okay, I'm not the best cook in the world, he had to teach me how to make it," Haru admitted.
She twirled some on her fork, "How is he doing anyways? I saw what happened at the end of the show."
Haru sighed sadly, "He's not doing too well. But I'm not really surprised. He and Suki were together for awhile."
"If he wants to get out there again any time, I have the perfect person to set him up with," Hikari suggested.
He smiled, "That would be perfect, what's he name?"
"Ty Lee."
His eyes went wide, "Ty Lee..."
She nodded while slurping her pasta, "Yeah, why? Do you know her?"
"Well...you can say that..." Haru pulled at his neck collar, "Her and I...kind of...got together a couple years ago."
Hikari laughed, "God, you are so wrong for me."
"What do you mean?"
"You are completely different from the guys I would usually date," Hikari told him, "I would never in a million years date some that had previously had sex with someone I knew."
"I'm sorry, I'm putting that life behind me. Please don't let this stop us from trying to have a good relationship with each other," Haru nearly pleaded.
She laughed again, "Relax Haru, I'm not going just not date you because you've been with Ty Lee. I'm still here aren't I?"
He smiled, "I was worried there for a second."
"I do still have a choice if I want to leave before dessert though," She teased.
"That would be a shame since I bought chocolate cake for dessert."
Hikari playfully put a finger to her chin, pretending to think about it, "Hmmm, chocolate cake you say? I guess I'll have to stay then."
Haru smiled and rose his glass, "To a new relationship." She picked up her glass and clinked it against his.
Aang smoothed out his collar, making sure he looked good. He had on his black polo shirt, black jeans and also his black watch. It was a little dark for his taste, but he had to admit he looked good. A knock on his bedroom door got his attention, he turned and saw Katara in the doorway. She had curled her hair and put on ruby red lipstick. Her dress of choice was a purple strapless dress that went down to her knees. "Wow, you look beautiful."
She smiled, "If had a penny for every time you said that."
"You would probably be rich," Aang walked over to her and kissed her, "How much do we have until we have to go?"
"Not enough for what you want," Katara laughed, "Plus, I got my lipstick and hair just the way I want it, I don't want to ruin it."
He turned off his light and took her hand, "I guess I'll have to settle for another time then?"
"After dinner sounds about right," Katara teased. her heels clicked against the floor as they walked out to the living room where Zuko and Toph were laying on the couch, Toph on top of Zuko, watching TV. "It's great to see that you to are as disgusting as ever," Katara joked.
"Shut it," Toph mumbled.
Aang smiled, "We're off to Katara's parents house. I'll make sure to call so I don't come in and you two are having sex...and be sure not to answer while you're doing it."
"Yeah yeah, shut up, we're watching TV," Toph answered.
"Oh, by the way, we're taking your car," Aang snatched Zuko's keys off the wall hook by the door and shut the door behind him.
Katara smiled, "We're really taking Zuko's car?"
"And let you walk to your parent's house looking like this? I'm going to have to fight off every guy who comes at you," Aang joked.
"I walked here from my house like this Aang, I think we'll be okay."
He shrugged, "We already have the keys." Aang opened the passenger door for her, shut it behind her and quickly made it to the other side of the car. He got in and turned the car on and winced a little.
"Are you okay?" Katara asked a little concerned.
Aang nodded, "Yeah, it's just my arm."
"It's probably because you were playing tonight, you probably messed up the stitches," She told him in a motherly tone.
"I'll be fine," He buckled himself in and turned the radio on. "Oh, Hotel California by The Eagles...Zuko has nice taste."
Katara shook her head, laughing, "Aang, please don't try to sing this song." But he didn't listen, he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as he pulled out of the driveway:
Aang: On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face (Aang placed his hand on Katara's cheek which she playfully slapped away)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year), you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.
"Katara!" Aang pointed at her to continue singing, she sighed and took a breath...
Katara: So I called up the captain,
'please bring me my wine'
He said, "we haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Katara and Aang: Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the hotel California
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Aang: Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Aang pulled up in Katara's parents driveway, but continued singing.
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
He finally turned off the car at the ending solo. Katara shook her head as she got out of the car, "You are such a loser."
"Yeah, but I'm your loser," Aang smiled.
"That's true," Katara walked up her parent's walkway, "Just don't sing at my parent's house, we're trying to make a good impression since my mom still probably isn't happy we're dating."
"So I shouldn't start singing Five Finger Death Punch songs?" Aang asked as Katara knocked on the door.
"Aang..."
"Or Slipknot?"
"Aang..."
"Or Metallica?"
"AANG!" Katara nearly yelled as the door opened, "Hi Daddy."
Mai snuck in through Zuko's window, she wondered why he always kept it open, especially after he had found about someone being in his house. She dropped her backpack and searched through it. She smiled when she came across a couple love letters she had written in his hand writing. Looking around the room, she spotted his desk and put them under a couple of other things. There were footsteps in the hall and Mai quickly grabbed her bag and hid under the bed. Zuko's door opened and the lights flicked on. It was quiet as she watched, who she could only guess was Toph, came into the room. "God Damn it Zuko," She sighed, shutting the window and locked it. "Zuko! Do you realize that we have a stalker and keeping your window open is a open invitation for them to get in here?" Toph yelled.
"Sorry, I forgot. It smelled like straight up sex in the room, so I was trying to air it out." He called back. Mai growled silently, not liking the idea of Zuko and Toph having sex.
Toph walked to his bed and looked around the sheets, "Zuko!" She called again.
"What?"
She shuffled around the bed, "Where's my bra?"
"I don't know."
Toph huffed and continued looking for it on the bed, "You were the one who took it off me, so I would have thought you of all people would know where it was."
"Oh yeah, it's by my Xbox," She heard Zuko turn the shower on. "Now come on, it's not like you can get it after our shower."
Toph went over to his Xbox and picked up her green lacy bra, "I'm just making sure when they get here that I'm not completely naked."
"We have at least an hour, we'll be fine." Toph shut off the light and went into the bathroom. Mai got out from under the bed and tried to for the window, but it was locked. She looked around for the lock, but couldn't find it anywhere. Mai also noticed the wood bar that was placed on the window seal so no one could get into the window, there was no way they wouldn't notice that that was out of place. Going for the door, Mai thought quickly where she could escape. The front door was definitely out of question, they would hear it. She spotted Aang's room and quickly went inside. Then she got an idea. Even though she had already failed in putting stuff in Zuko's room, she could put stuff in Aang's room too, hopefully ruining the friendship between the two. Mai looked through her backpack and found a pair of black panties with skulls on them. She had taken it from Zuko's house the last time she had snuck in, thinking she would have a use for them later. Mai thanked her past self and bunched them up and threw them on his bed. It wasn't her best job, at all, but it would have to do. She tried Aang's window, but it was also locked. Mai looked over every inch of the window and found a tiny button in the window seal. She pressed it and opened the window. Mai quickly snuck out and shut the window behind her.
The bathroom door opened, "One second Toph," He laughed. "I'll see if Aang has one." Zuko went into Aang's room and looked through his bedside table and caught a glimpse of the underwear on his bed. "Toph!" He shouted, "Come here." She came in with a towel around her. "Look what made its way onto Aang's bed." Zuko held her panties up.
Her eyes went wide, "Whoa, no. I am not sleeping with Aang..."
"I know," Zuko said, "I've actually been looking for these, I love it when you wear them...but anyways, whoever has been trying to fuck with us was in our house."
She sighed, "See? I told you! You need to lock your fucking window."
"Yeah yeah," Zuko told her. He paused for a second and sniffed around, "Wait a second..." He sniffed the underwear.
"Yeah, that's my butt you're smelling, it's right here," Toph pointed at her butt.
Zuko shook his head, "No, I know that smell...it's Mai."
Katara kissed her father on the cheek, "Good night Daddy."
"Good night honey and Good night Aang, it's been great to see you again," Hakoda and Aang shook hands.
He smiled, "It's great to see you again."
Kya came to the door also, "Good bye honey," She hugged Katara and leaned in, by her ear, "I was wrong, he's perfect for you honey."
"Thank you Mom," Katara whispered back.
Kya also hugged Aang, "Take care of my daughter Aang."
"I will," He told her, they waved good bye as they got into Zuko's car. "Wow, that was fun." Aang started the car and turned down the music.
"Do you actually mean that or are you talking sarcastically?" Katara asked.
"No, I actually had fun," He took her hand, "I really felt like I was your boyfriend. I remember when you would bring up that you were taking your new boyfriends to meet your parents. I always wanted to have a chance to do that."
Katara laughed, "Yeah, but I usually broke up with them a little bit after that."
"Darn, well, it's been a good run I guess," He joked.
She gave him a smile and it was quiet as they continued to drive back to Zuko and Aang's house. "Aang, I have to tell you something."
"Okay, what's up?" He asked.
"I think I'm pregnant."
Whhhhaaaaat? I know right? Anyways, I don't know how long it's going to take me to make another chapter for my other stories because I'm currently writing two other stories. So leave a review on everything and Happy New Year...also, here's the full ending:
"WHAT? Aang nearly ran the car off the road.
"I'm just messing with you," Katara smiled, "I'm not pregnant."
He breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh thank God...I was worried there for a second."
"Don't worry, we won't have to deal with that for awhile," Katara assured him. "Unless you want to..."
"Not until we are ready for marriage," Aang said, focusing on the road.
"Marriage?" He nodded, "...What if I was ready?"
There's your real ending!
