I am new to this; please bear with me.

Aang had been out for two whole hours, just trying to find the perfect flowers to give to Katara for her 17th birthday. She and Sokka were sick and Aang wanted to make her birthday as good as it could get, even though they were sick, her and her brother. When he found the prim roses Katara adored finally, he ran back to his friends with a bag fill of healing herbs and a hand full of flowers.

"Aang! You made it back here! I am so… Aang! Are those flowers for me? Please say yes! I need a good day today!"

"Yep, Katara, they are for you. But, before you get them, you and Sokka need to take your medicine." Aang replied to Katara.

"I hate you, Aang." Mumbled a sick Sokka.

"I hate you too, Sokka. Now, drink up."

Once the gang was feeling better, which was about five hours later, taking a root and herb potion every hour for their colds, they all celebrated Katara's birthday. Momo gave her a kiss on the cheek, Appa put his paw print on a paper saying he wouldn't lick her that week, and Sokka gave her a basket full of her favorite berries.

"Okay, Aang! Your turn!" Sokka announced.

"Okay, but, please don't cry?" He asked Katara.

He first gave her the flowers. Then he just sat there, looking at her.

"Well, you warned me not to cry. Why should I cry over flowers?"

"Well, there is a note in the bundle." Aang replied.

The note: 'My heart, Katara. I may now let you know that I love you. I understand that you do not love me back in the way I am referring to. But I just wanted to let you know. Happy Birthday, my Water Lily that soothes the Flame in my heart. Happy Birthday!'

Sure enough, Katara started crying. But she immediately latched onto Aang. He held her in return.

"Is that true? You love me?"

"Every word! I love you with all my heart, K."

"GET AWAY FROM MY BABY SISTER!"
