Sneaking Out

Katara heard the old grand clock in the family room chime. It was midnight... it was time. She quietly threw off the covers on her bed, revealing her normal street clothes. A pair of jean shorts, a blue tank top and sandals, all of which suited the warm summer night.

Quietly she undid the lock on her window and moved it to the side, pulling herself up and over. As she touched down she heard some footsteps. Quickly she turned around ready to fight her brother or worse her father, but it was neither of them. It was him.

A young boy with a shaven head, and sparkling grey eyes gave a large smile to Katara suddenly making her feel safe.

"You're late," he grinned. "I said promptly at midnight and its," he looked down at his digital watch, "12:05"

Katara put her hands on her hips, "Well I needed to make sure I didn't wake anyone up."

The two stared at each other for a few minutes, seeing who would break first. It was Aang, it always was. He closed his eyes and lightly chuckled. He took a few steps forward and brushed his lips gently against hers before separating. "Come on, Katara, I want to show you something."

He took her hand and started to pull her to his car. Katara couldn't help but giggle at Aang's excitement. He opened the passenger door for her and making sure she was all in, closed it and quickly running over to the driver's seat and putting on his own seatbelt. He started the car moving it out of the driveway of Katara's home.

"So are you going to tell me where you are taking me?" Katara asked as she leaned back in her seat.

"Nope, but trust me you'll like it." Aang gave her secretive smile and continued to drive. He drove out of the city and into the forest. Katara was becoming more and more curious as to where he was taking her. Suddenly they reached a dead end and Aang stopped the car.

"Out of gas?" Katara joked.

"Nope we just need to use our legs now," Aang rushed over to her side of the car and once again opened the door for her. Taking her hand he lead her out of the car and started to walk on a small and almost non-existence dirt road.

They didn't need to talk like Sokka and Suki did. Just being in each other's company was more then enough for them. Besides the silence seem to add more to the forest and Katara didn't want to take that away.

She had never been in the forest at night before. There was a new feel for the place at dark. Without much light, it gave the forest a more surreal and mysterious feeling, like it was a living being of its very own. But she wasn't scared; she was hardly ever scared when Aang was with her for she knew he would protect her always.

Owls hooted over her head and around her, slight rustling in the bushes indicated the animals interacting with one another. But as they continued to walk, she heard a gentle whoosh, whoosh, sound that slowly got louder and louder into a roar. Mist started to fill up the forest.

"Aang where are you taking me?" Katara asked again her face holding the excitement and curiosity she was feeling at that moment. They must be getting closer to Aang's surprise and Katara was slowly starting to figure it out.

"To one of your most favorite places," he said simply as they turned a bend. There in front of her was a waterfall. It's gorgeous rainfall creating a light mist at the bottom, looking very much like bridal veil. But what was even most impressive was the rainbow over the waterfall. It had full vibrant colors and seemed that the water was coming from that instead from a river. It was more beautiful then dreams or paintings could ever describe it. The tranquility of it, and the peaceful nature of the area made even more beautiful in Katara's mind.

"Ohh," Katara said as a hand went to her mouth. "It's beautiful, Aang."

"Glad you snuck out?"

Katara looked at him with happy tears in her eyes. "Yes. Oh yes."
