TOGETHER

A/N: Hello there and welcome to another chapter inside the dreamer's lovely story! I hope that you enjoyed the last chapter as much as I did. Anyway, to answer arizony's review. Yes, the songs do show Katara's emotions. And I'm sorry about that last part in the last chapter. I was trying to do Algebra while writing it. Because, you know, there is Kinder, Elementary, Junior High, Senior High, and College here in the Philippines. And I am studying to be a scientist and a teacher in Literature. And I guess is a good start. =)

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own ATLA. I only own the plot of this story.

CHAPTER 7: A Year Later

Aang and Katara strolled down the forest path in a forest at the Fire Nation, courtesy of Zuko. They walked around the pink leafed forest, hand in hand. Katara's head rested on Aang's shoulder.

They have been a couple since that night last year. And everyone was happy for them.

The couple strolled around, silent-that is until Aang broke it. "Katara, Toph told me that last year, you didn't pick a song by group, you were the one who thought of them," he said, gaining her attention. "Yes, I was the one who chose those songs," she replied.

"Why?"

She stopped their stroll and looked at him. "Look, Aang, ever since that night six years ago, I was so confused. I didn't know what to feel. I was so bottled up with emotions, singing was the only one I could do to let them all out. I sang A Thousand Years, because I was afraid to love. I wasn't brave enough to face my emotions. And all that time, your heart was brought to me. I sang Let it Go because I wanted all those emotions gone. I didn't want anyone to know that I was in love with you. And I sang Tear Drops on My Guitar because all those years, I couldn't stop thinking about you. You were the one that held my heart, and then my mind wandered away and I thought you had a girlfriend back home. And you were all I could think about when I went to sleep at night. That's why," she replied, looking down at her feet.

Aang looked at his girlfriend and lifted her chin with his hand. "You know what," he said, placing a soft kiss on her lips.

When he pulled away, he continued, "I love you too."

Katara smiled and hugged him. They then went back to their little stroll. Later on, it was Aang's turn to stop their stroll. He looked at her confused face. "Katara, do you know what day this is?" he asked her. Katara thought for a little while before asking, "Wednesday, why?"

"Because today is the day I kissed you at the after-the-coronation party."

Katara gasped. How could I forget? February 2 is the day of the coronation! She thought to herself.

Aang continued, "I actually have a gift for you." She looked at him, curious at what he would give her. He held out a necklace with a pendant in the form of a flower. He then kneeled and asked, "Katara, I know we've only been together for a year, but I love you so much. And I just want to ask, will you marry me?"

Katara smiled and tackled him in a huge hug. She kissed his forehead and said, "I will marry you Aang. My answer is a yes."

Aang pulled her closer, and placed his lips on hers as he wrapped the necklace around her neck.

A/N: So that pretty much sums up this story. I hope you enjoyed it. Till my Norgatha story! BYE!
