When I started writing this, it was going to be Tokka, but I guess I'm stuck on Kataang right now! So please review and give me ideas for chapter two! By the way, this fanfic is in no way related to the one titled "First Kiss" . Just thought I'd make that clear.

...

Katara stretched and yawned. She was standing in the moist grass not far from the town the Gaang was staying at. It was close to midnight. The moon was nearly full, but not yet; tomorrow night was full moon. Katara sat down slowly and looked at the dark sky. A distant roll of thunder reached her ears.

"Oh, I hope it rains!" she thought out loud. She loved when it rained at night; it felt so healing and smelled wondrous. Laying down in the grass, she decided to wait and see if it would rain, after all. If she went back, she might miss the rain. After the past few weeks of traveling in the Fire Nation, she needed to relax and feel the rain.

Meanwhile, Aang couldn't sleep. Sokka's snoring was terrible and the thunder was creeping him out a bit. He loved rain, just not thunder or lightning. Earlier he had heard the girls bedroom door open and close and had been waiting for whomever had got up to return, but they never did.

"Maybe they had the right idea." he thought, running his hand through his hair, which he was only just getting used to having. He slid out of bed, out the bedroom door and across the hall, pressing his ear against the girls door. A loud snore rang out.

"Katara's the one up then..." Aang thought, shaking his head. Apparently Sokka and Toph were just too loud for he and Katara. He went outside and used his earthbending to see his surroundings. He 'saw' Katara about twenty or so yards away, laying in the grass and decided to join her, walking through the moist, wonderful smelling grass until he was only about a yard from her. He stopped and just watched her as she breathed slowly and calmly. He smiled; she always made him feel better whether she was trying to or not. She titled her head back and saw him standing there, smiling, looking back at the sky. The rain sodden clouds were slowly rolling in. Aang laid down beside her. He could feel the warmth coming from her skin, making his heart rate speed up considerably. He saw her hand resting peacefully on the grass and wanted so badly to hold it or at least touch it, but his own hand wouldn't cooperate. It was only inches from hers but wouldn't close the gap. He let out a sigh. Katara looked over at him.

"You ok, Aang? You're not usually up this late." Aang smiled.

"Yeah, Sokka's snoring was keeping me up though." Katara laughed. Aang's heart skipped a beat.

"I know what you mean! Toph sounded like an earth quake!"

"Well, she is an earthbender." Aang said jokingly. Katara giggled.

"I guess that means we'll just have to deal with it,"

"Guess so." Aang said smiling. Thunder rolled loudly as lighting shot across the sky. Aang flinched, remembering the storm that resulted in being trapped in the iceburg. Katara put her hand on his forearm causing him to shiver at her touch. His arm tingled warmly. He hoped it was dark enough to hide his blush. It started to drizzle lightly, the tiny shimmering drops were barely visible but you could feel them hit your skin.

"Good, I was hoping it would rain!" said Katara. She sat up and took a deep breath of cool moist air. She smiled curiously.

"Aang, look at the grass, doesn't it look like it's dancing?" Aang sat up and laughed.

"Yeah, it looks like it's enjoying the rain." The light breeze made the tall grass sway in the moon light, the tiny glittering drops of rain glinted beautifully as they moved.

"Pretty isn't it?," she said in a whisper.

"Yeah, it's like the plants are celebrating the rainfall." Katara's smile faded and a tear slipped down her cheek.

"What's wrong?" Aang said softly.

"It's just the memories.." Aang titled his head in confusion. Katara went on.

"My Mom loved the rain, When I was little, she and I would watch it rain. It only came in the summer and even then it was cold, but we still enjoyed it. We had the best talks then." Katara started to sob. Aang was finally able to move his hand so he placed it on hers and squeezed it gently. Katara turned toward him and hugged him, burying her face in his shirt. It took him off guard at first, his whole body feeling warm and tingly. But he managed to wrap his arms around her as well. They just sat there for a while, Katara crying and Aang though enjoying the closeness, was wishing so much to make her happy again. He hated when she was sad. She started to pull away so Aang reluctantly let her go.

"Thank you for coming out here and keeping me company, I needed it," said Katara, who was still a bit teary-eyed.

"I'm glad I could. Guess it's good I couldn't sleep." Katara giggled and smiled. Aang smiled back. She hugged him again and kissed his cheek. His whole body shivered and his face grew warm.

"Tell her now! This is the perfect time! Come on just say it!" Aang thought to himself. He wanted so badly to tell her he loved her.

"Katara, I...I umm..." He said shakily.

"Yes?"

"Uh, I..." Aang sighed. "I hope we both sleep better tomorrow night.." Aang said, trying not to sound as angry with himself as he was. Katara looked at him questioningly.

"That's not what you were going to say, was it?"

"No."

"What was it? You can tell me."

"I'd rather not right now, if you don't mind." Aang said sadly.

"Well, alright. But if you ever need to talk, I'm here."

"I'll remember that. Thanks, Katara." Aang forced a smile.

"Well, I guess I better get back to bed. Night, Aang."

"Night," he replied, sighing sadly as she watched her walk away.

"Will I ever have the guts to tell her?" he asked himself. He got up and started back to bed as well, feeling depressed and mad at himself.
