Chapter 2
Aang woke up to the sweetest kiss ever. "Good morning." Katara greeted after she pulled back. Aang opened his eyes
to see Katara still lying next to him, naked from the night before. Aang yawned then kissed her back. "Good morning."
He said then got up and grabbed his pants. "You as sore as I am?" Katara asked him with a laugh. Aang laughed,
"Yeah." He got up and grabbed his pants. She held her arms out to him, as he pulled his pants on, as if she wanted a
hug. He went over expecting her to use him to help her up. But instead she pulled him back down on top of her and
met her lips to his. Aang pulled back when there was a knock on the door. Sighing he pulled away from Katara and
walked to the door. It was a royal guard. "Avatar Aang, the earth king has invited you and Lady Katara to a dinner
party." he said. The guard bowed in respect as he handed Aang a scroll. Aang shut the door and walked back to Katara
who was now fully clothed.
"What was that all about Aang?" Katara asked as Aang came back in the room, he was looking at a scroll. "The Earth
King has invited us to a dinner party in honor of the anniversary of the end of the war." He said looking up from the
scroll. "It's said that Zuko and Mai are coming and your father, and possibly Sokka and Suki." Katara smiled. She
hadn't seen her brother since his wedding day. How she missed her big brother. Nor had she seen her father since then
either. Aang sat down on their bed and sighed. "I can't believe it's been 5 years already." "I know, it feels like just
yesterday to me." Katara admitted. It felt just like yesterday that she was helping Zuko defeat his sister in order to get
the Fire Nation crown, and Aang defeated Phoenix King Ozai.
"Katara? We need to talk." Aang said after a little bit of silence. "Yeah? What about?" "You know I love you right?"
Katara froze. "Yeah…I love you too. Now where are you going with this?" Katara was afraid he was ending it with her.
Aang grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him. "I've been meaning to ask you…" he said not letting go of her
hand. "If you, Katara of the Southern Water Tribe, would do me the greatest honor of marrying me?" Katara was
speechless for a moment. "You don't have to, if you don't want to." "Are you kidding me? Of course I will marry you!"
She said wrapping him in a hug. She looked up and him and kissed him.
The newly engaged couple announced their engagement at the dinner party the next night. Katara's father didn't seem
too happy about it. But Zuko and Mai did. Mai had her own announcement, Her and Zuko were going to be having a
baby. "That's great!" Katara said with a smile. Zuko ran his fingers through his hair nervously. "Thanks." Zuko and his
wife said at the same time. The Earth King turned to Aang, "So, Avatar Aang, do you want me to call wedding planners
for you?" he asked. "That won't be necessary your majesty." Hakoda finally said. Everyone turned to look at him.
"What do you mean Dad?" Katara asked. "Katara, I need to tell you something-" Hakoda began, but was interrupted by
an alarm of sorts.
Just then, a bunch of royal guards came running in and surrounded the earth king. Aang gripped Katara's hand tightly.
"What is it?" Katara's voice thick with worry. Aang shook his head. "I don't know." "It's the Royal threat alarm." The
kings voice was muffled from behind the guards. "It goes off when someone goes over the palace wall unauthorized."
The king said. Then the alarm stopped and the door to the dinning hall swung open, General Lee came in the room.
"False alarm. Sorry your majesty." The guards left and the king sighed. "Sorry my guests. That does tend to happen
sometimes."
The dinner party ended shortly there after and the king dismissed them all. Hakoda was the first to leave without an
explanation to Katara. Followed by Zuko and Mai. Aang and Katara were the last ones to leave because the Earth King
kept talking to them about their plans for the wedding. "I was hoping to have it back in my homeland your majesty."
Katara said. "Ah. Very well. Well you can count one person on your definite guest list." He said with a smile. Nodding,
Aang and Katara left the palace and returned to their house in the upper ring.
