Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews on the last chapter. Sorry it was short and not very well-written. You learn as you grow, am I right?
Big, BIG shoutout to lPhoenixSpiritl and Guest for reviewing! It means a lot! Also, thanks for the f/f! Also means a lot. I love you guys.

Every "after place" chapter is a small, short chapter of Katara and Aang recovering from the party/festival/celebration/event/activity/etc: so nothing very special. Feel free to skip.

I DO NOT OWN AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, I ONLY OWN THIS STORY

Enjoy:

As Aang and Katara headed back up the steady hills to Appa, Katara spotted something in the sky. She stopped and looked up, squinting to see what the thing was.

"Is that... Momo!" Katara cried, jumping up and waving. Momo landed swiftly on Katara's shoulder.

"How'd it go, the visit to the other temples is search of your friends?" Aang asked, petting Momo's head. Momo chattered a bit, plucked Aangs ear, and flew over to Appa, reciting the tale to his best friend.

"I guess it went well?" Katara asked, walking over to Aang and linked her arm around his. She followed his gaze over the hill and at the ocean. It sparkled, and shimmered with such a ferocious, beautiful blue. The sea breeze picked up the tree's branches, swaying back and forth, push and pull. On the border of the beach, couples sat, resting together from last night. She looked over at Aang, and suddenly, she felt herself awing at him. How his gray eyes sparkled, his bald head facing forwards, facing the breeze. He looked relaxed. He looked handsome.

"You know why I love the ocean?" He asked, scanning his eyes on the beautiful sight. She saw some heat rise on his pale, lilac cheeks. She started feeling heat in her cheeks as well, and she was curious to know why.

"Why?" She asked, keeping her gaze on Aang. She started fidget... she wanted to jump on him, to be with him, to feel him, but she restrained herself.

"Because it reminds me of you." Aang confessed, turning his head to Katara, to gaze into her eyes. The breeze picked up his neck sleeve, and Katara's hair. Her silky hair flew with the wind, and she grabbed his neck sleeve. Violently, she pulled herself onto Aang, kissing with such a burning passion Aang was surprised. He tried to stand still, stand strong like an earthbender, but Katara's force was too violent. Suddenly, Aang fell back, holding onto Katara. Katara broke apart, her face worried with love.

"Oh my lords, are you ok Aang? I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" She was cut short by Aangs lips, telling her he forgave her. She grabbed tighter onto his collar, moving her head up and down. She had never been on top of Aang- it made her blush, They rolled slightly around in the dirt, and Momo looked over, stopping his storytelling. He looked curiously at the couple rolling around, making out, and decided to split them up. He flew over and landed on Aangs shoulder. He messed with Aangs cheeks, causing Aangs mouth to open at an awkward angle. Katara got off Aang, laughing.

"Momo!" She laughed, petting the lemur. Aang smiled, looking at Katara.

"Aang- sorry about- don't know what got to me-" Katara murmured, looking away. Suddenly, she felt a cold air blast on her back, causing her hair to swish over and cover her face. She turned to Aang and tackled him playfully.

"You cheater!" She laughed, splashing water on Aangs face. He air bent himself so the water splashed Katara. Neatly, she bent it off herself. But, you snoose you loose. Aang had bent Katara on an air scooter, so she was dangling in the air, looking down at him, her face wide with awe and terror.

"Aang, you... you!" She screamed softly. Aang smiled, keeping her up there for a while. Katara just sighed, defeated.

"Any time now, Sweetie." Katara hinted, looking down at Aang.

"Aww..." Aang joked, stopping the air scooter. Katara screamed as she plummeted down, down, down...

She was caught in Aang's arms. He held her closely, protectively. She felt safe, secure, next to the man she loved. Aang was a kind, gentle soul, but he was the strongest, both mentally and physically, person she ever met. And she loved him.
