"Your turn Toph!"
"Awww…do I have to?"
"Yes you have to."
"All right, fine."
Katara settled down on the floor and fiddled with her hands. "Okay, truth or dare?"
"Truth." The earthbender replied in a monotone voice.
'So…" Katara started in a sly tone, "Is it true…that you like Sokka?"
Toph cringed. "Oh my God! You can't be serious!" Toph shook her head fiercely and broke out into hysterical laughter. Katara gaped at heard. "Hey! I'm just asking to confirm the rumors!" Toph returned the large gape.
"Who told you this, Sokka?"
"Actually…yeah."
"I'm so gonna pound that fruitcake!"
The two girls shared a laugh, Toph rolling on the ground in pure laughter, and Katara clutching her stomach. Once they had regained their breath, Toph asked Katara "Truth or dare?"
Katara pondered momentarily. "Mmmm…dare." She said, a grin surfacing on her face. Toph knew exactly what to say.
"I dare you to kiss Aang."
"Oh I've already done that."
Toph's jaw dropped. "On the lips?"
Katara shut up and her eyes grew wide. "Oh no! No, no, no, no, no!" I will not!" Katara continued to plead and beg: "Please! Aang's just my friend! I don't want him getting any ideas!"
Toph smirked. He's had more ideas than you can imagine… Toph thought to herself. Katara saw she had no way out of this. The waterbender sighed. "Follow me." She said dully.
The girls stood up and walked out into the hallway. Toph couldn't control her laughter, but she suppressed it the best she could. Katara however, was worried.
As the two entered the boy's quarters, Katara grew more nervous at the sight of Sokka in the room. How could she possibly kiss her best friend- and in front of her older brother?
"Hi boys." Katara greeted them sheepishly. "Hey…" Sokka replied, lying on his back, his fingers drumming on his slim stomach. Aang smiled warmly and waved like a small child.
Katara groaned, causing the other three to glance at her. She took three huge steps towards Aang's bed, and did the unthinkable.
She kissed him sweetly on his lips.
Although it was a swift kiss, it had a delicious sweetness inside that anyone could've easily mistaken as passion. Pulling away, she turned on her heel and took another three steps out the room and down the hall.
"Let's go Toph. " she said with a burning flash of hatred towards the earthbender. Once the waterbender was out of the room, Toph stared in the boys direction. "God that was hot!" Toph joked, bursting into hysterics.
She stumbled into the door, still laughing, clutching her stomach. KATAANG!" se screamed crashing into walls as she struggled to stand upright to follow Katara.
In the boys' room, Sokka and Aang exchanged looks, both wide-eyed.
"What were they smoking in there!" Sokka screamed, flopping onto his bed and rolling in laughter. Aang however, looked as if he had just granted world peace and had ended world hunger. He looked almost in a daze.
Katara's kiss had electrified him. A tingling sensation shot down his spine. Absentmindedly, he put his index to his lips and felt a warm feeling inside of him- the feeling he had felt whenever Katara's name was brought up in conversation.
The boys exchanged another look and fell silent, knowing things were going to change in their household.
In the girls' room, Toph would not stop tormenting Katara.
'Would you let it go?" Katara shouted, although still trying to stifle a laugh herself.
"Besides, you can't even see! How would you have possibly known what it looked like Katara demanded.
Toph shrugged. "Oh I know what it looked like alright. Just cause I'm blind doesn't mean I can't sense anything else!" Once things had settled down, Toph sighed. "I'll be outside."
Katara watched the earthbender leave, and sighed herself.
As she gazed out the window, she saw her beloved airbender sitting in a tree, his legs dangling and his body rocking back and forth. She sighed heavily once more. Why was she feeling all flushed and light-hearted all of a sudden? Why was he thinking about that kiss so much? Why did it seem as if her life relied on that very kiss?
Katara shook her head, trying to get the thought out of her mind, but it wouldn't budge. Was she falling for he avatar?
The young girl could feel her heart yearning for further knowledge of these feelings that she had never felt before. For once, she longed to know what true love felt like, just to see the comparison.
As Katara twisted a long strand of black hair, she felt giddier by the second. She couldn't take her eyes away from Aang and she longed to sit beside him, up in that tree. She sighed and gasped as the bolt struck her:
She was falling in love with the avatar.
