Katara wiped her tears and got up from where she was sitting. She quickly walked over to follow Aang and catch up to see if there was anything she could do to help. As she walked, she thought to herself , ' how could you be so stupid? what on earth makes you think he would have told you why he kissed you ?' She felt light headed and sick , like she were on the very edge of a cliff and was fixing to fall off. She knew something like this was gonna happen ... so why did she ask in the first place? She knew the answer to that already, but she didn't accually want it to happen.But what really killed her inside was how he just left without saying another word to hre! She knew thta it was urgent but he hadn't even said if they would talk about it later... maybe he didn't even care or he just needed to leave as soon as he could to avoid the subject in the first place. But she couldn't get it off her mind ...
when she reached the others, they were all standing around Appa.She gasped as soon as she saw him , his face was sad.
"Is he gonna be okay?" Toph asked Aang.
" He should be, I mean , I just wish I knew what was wrong with him..." he repied, taking a quick glance at Katara before he looked back at his bison. She couldn't tell if he was blushing or if it was just the sun light that made his face flushed with red.
Katara sat down by Appa, she gently put her hand on his head. "You were wrong, Sokka, he's not sick... " she said as soon as she removed her hand.
"Then whats wrong with him ?" Tao asked as he scooted his wheelchair to get a closer view. Haru was behind him along with The Duke.
" He looks a bit depressed if you ask me , I just wonder why..." She said .
" Maybe it's being here?" Sokka said, " I mean , c'mon he probally misses all the things that used to be here a hundred years ago..."
Katara was surprised at how her brother had put that. " Maybe you're right... thtas a really good thought Sokka." she smiled at him.
Sokka got that big chezzy smile that he has when he's being complemented," well, you guys know me... the idea guy , the smart one , the one that always knows best, the ..."
Toph smacked him upside the head ," don't push it , Boomerang..."she told him. He rubbed his head and stuck his tongue out at her. The others laughed.
Everyone but Katara and Aang...
Their conversation earlier had made her dreadfully depressed , she desperately wished to know what he was thinking. She sighed and looked at the others," Can one of you go get me some water ? He must be thirsty and a nice drink could help clear his throat..." She didn't know if she smiled or if the pain in her heart was showing.
Haru was the first to get up, " I'll be happy to get it , Katara!" he said with a smile. He walked closer to her.
She smiled," Here Haru, take my pouch to fill it up with water, I think that should be enough."
" Okay, " he said taking the pouch," and I was wondering if you wanted to talk later, you know just me and you..."
She smiled , but only a little." Thats fine... " she told him . He ran off. She walked right past Zuko and torwards Aang, "Hey... " she said.
"Ohh... hey..." Once again there was that dreadful silence that she couldn't help but hate and apprieciate at the same time. "So... how could you tell that he was depressed? I mean , it's hard to tell isn't it?"
"Well... no, I mean , not for someone who's been feeling the same way for days ..." she said as she ran her fingers through her long hair.
Aang looked into her eyes , he knew why too , and yet he still asked, "what do you mean?" His eyes seemed to make her feel warm and angry at the same time. The feelings she had were ruining her life .
" Hey " Zuko stepped in , " you guys mind if I ask you something?
Katara made sure she didn't reply , she didn't want to be too hateful to him in front of Aang.
" Sure , ZuKo," Aang said , " as long as it doesn't have anything to do with practice... I'm really not in the mood."
" It doesn't..." he took a deep breathe before asking,"when do you plan on taking my father? " Katara thought the question was stupid , then , she realized that it was true... the comet was coming soon and Aang had to be ready.
" As soon as I master the element sthat I havn't finished ..." Aang replied. "So... why do you ask?"
Zuko shrugged, " I feel as if we don't work on the basics as hard as we should be, so if we don't start practicing more, then theres no way that you'll be ready on time." katara had to agree , no matter how much it killed her to agree on anything with that traitor .
"Aang ... I've gotta go... Haru's gonna be back soon and he wanted to talk..." She began to walk away until he gently took her hand.
" Is there anything going on between you two? '' He asked , jealousy dripping in his voice.
" Oh no, we're only friends... " she said shaking her head . She was smiling , it gave her a high that he wanted to know. " Why do ask ?" Suspicion rattled in her voice.
He was blushing, this time she was sure of it. " He ... just deosn't seem like your type..." he looked away from her and covered his mouth with his hand .
" If he's not my type... then who is ?"she teased, even though she didn't know where this was gonna take her, she felt as if it were going to lead her somewhere.
" well... I don't know... someone who has a good personality, not that I'm saying Haru's not a great guy , he's just ..."
" Not like you ?" She asked smiling.
He grinned, " Katara , I'm sorry about earlier, but what do you want me to say ? Appa , he was upset and I felt like I had no other choice but to leave ... "
She had almost forgotten the hurt she had, and Aang bringing it up didn't help her any at all." Aang... I don't know... it's just I've had so much on my mind lately and what we were talking about didn't help take any of it off. But I really don't feel into the mood of discussing it again..." she said putting her hand on her forehead , " I'll talk to you later , then ."
" Katara , I ... " he tried to speak.
" Please Aang . Later..."
Aang watched as she walked away .She got further and before he knew it , she disappeared.
