1Yep, I'm updating this last chapter. I will be in Las Vegas for a few days, so I will start "Win A Date With Sokka" on either Monday or Tuesday.

Chapter 5: The Date
"So, Aang, where are we going?"
Katara and Aang were walking hand in hand down a street in a small Fire Nation town. Aang smiled at Katara.
"It's a surprise." Aang led Katara to a small area of trees. A blanket lay on the forest floor. Various foods and a pitcher of fruit juice. Katara gasped at the arrangement.
"Wow!" Katara exclaimed. The two sat on the blanket. "Very nice."
"I was hoping you would say that." Aang replied.
Katara smiled and blushed. She sighed. "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah."
"Um...how long...? I mean...since when were you in love with me?" Katara asked carefully.
"Well...since you found me in the iceberg, actually." Aang answered and shrugged. "Okay, so it was just a little crush then. But as I got to know you more...I fell in love with you."
"Why me? Out of all the people you could've fallen in love with?" Katara asked.
"You're beautiful. You're so sweet and kind and compassionate. You were there for me when no one else was. You believe in me, you give me hope and strength." Aang looked down. "You could've stayed with your dad instead of coming with me to the Fire Nation to hide out until the invasion."
Katara sighed. How could she not have seen this coming? "Truth is...I actually started to like you afer you've given me hints that you are in love with me."
"Why, though?"
"Because...you're so brave and confident. Smart, funny, compassionate, understanding. "
"You forgot handsome." Aang joked. They laughed.
"Well, you are handsome." Katara replied. Her face turned serious. "To be honest...I didn't understand why you included me in planning our next move when you mastered waterbending."
"I've realized lately that I need to rely on my friends to help me defeat the Fire Lord." Aang explained. "That...and...I love you."
Katara looked taken aback. "Um...thanks."
Aang stared at Katara for a minute and sighed. "Wow, that was a waste of three hours rehearsing that in front of a mirror."
"Aang..."
Aang stood up. "I just professed my love to you, and all you can say is 'thank you'?"
Katara stood as well. "Aang, it's not that. Please don't take this the wrong way."
"You know what? Sokka was right. It wouldn't kill me to date other people!" Aang glared at Katara and began storming off.
"Wait, Aang, stop!" Katara called out.
"Why?"
Katara swallowed. "Because I love you, you idiot!"
Aang gaped at Katara. Then he walked over to her and kissed her. Katara kissed him back. A few minutes later, they pulled apart.
"Well, this is the most romantic date I've ever been on." Katara half-joked.
Aang chuckled. "Yeah."
"So...what now?" Katara asked.
"Well...I'm still ticked at Sokka for setting me up with that game show thing." Aang replied.
Katara raised an eyebrow in amusement. "What are you gonna do?"
"You'll see." Aang said deviously.
