"How are you feeling Katara?" Suki asked coming in to the room.

"I've been better." Katara smiled as the other walked in after Suki.

"We're so sorry." Mai apologized.

"Yeah, we saw how happy you were." Toph nodded in a soft voice.

"It's fine, I'm fine. Besides, these things happen." Katara clarified.

"Are you feeling ok?" Sokka asked concerned.

"I'm fine." Katara answered. "Are you sure?" Zuko questioned.

"I'm fine. Seriously, you guys don't need to walk on eggshells around me." Katara addressed.

"Ok, ok but can we get you anything?" Ty lee asked.

"No, thanks." Katara responded.

"Ok, we'll leave you alone now." Azula ended as they all walked out.

A little while later Aang walks in.

"Hey" He started. "Hi." He replied as she sets the book she was reading down.

"How are you babe ?" He asked. "I'm ok." She replied.

"C'mon, sit with me." She said as she scooted over patting the bed referencing him to sit down next to her.

He sat down and hugged her from the side.

"You wanna talk or something... ?" He asked rubbing her arm.

"No, just stay with me awhile." She said laying down on his lap.

A few moments later she fell asleep, her thick dark brown hair laid on the pillows and his lap, he looked at her clear, soft lush face as she slept restfully and peacefully.

A little while later Katara woke up and didn't see him. "Aang?" She asked. "I'm here, I'm here."

He replied coming in holding a cup of tea.

"Hey, I made you some tea for you." He said holding out the cup.

"Thanks." She smiled taking a sip.

"Hey guys." Azula started walking in to the room.

"Hi, Azula." Katara replied. "Katara, can I talk to you ?" Azula asked.

"Sure." Katara responded.

"This is kinda a private matter," Azula added looking at Aang, "could you like.. not be here right now Aang?"

"Oh, right ok." Aang chuckled leaving the room.

"So, what's up?" Katara asked. "I uhh wanted to ask you something." Azula revealed.

"What is it?" Katara asked curiously. "How did you uh get the courage to tell Aang that you liked him more than a friend ?" Azula asked

"Well, I had the support from you guys. And I just wanted to get it off my chest and I just really wanted to know if he felt the same way. I mean of course I was nervous I mean you were there, I was a mess." Katara explained.

"Anyway, where is this coming from?" Katara questioned.

"Uhhh nothing..." Azula lied.

"Azula, it's me. You can talk to me." Katara clarified.

"Your right, your right. Umm basically I have a crush on umm..." Azula hesitated.

"Who? Oh my god, who do you have a crush on? You have to tell me." Katara needled.

"You know what? I'll just talk to Mai about this." Azula said changing her mind standing up from the chair about to leave.

"No, no, no talk to me I'll shut up. I promise." Katara assured grabbing her arm.

"Ok fine..." Azula agreed sitting back down. "So, tell me, who do you have a crush on?" Katara asked.

"I have a crush on uhhhh for Ty lee" She confessed.

"OH MY GOD !!! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON TY LEE?" Katara exclaimed.

"Shut up Katara! She might hear you." Azula cursed.

"Oops, oh my god. I'm sorry." Katara apologized.

"It's fine." She laughed, "I swear Ty Lee is like deaf half the time."

"Yeah, what is up with that?" Katara agreed laughing.

"So, are you planing on telling her how you feel?" Katara asked.

"Nah,  just came here to ask you for advice for no apparent reason. Of course I'm gong to tell her dumb*ss." Azula joked, sarcastically.

They laughed and Azula continued: "I'm planing on telling her soon, as soon as get myself together ya know."

"Yeah, yeah, understandable." Katara agreed.

"Thanks Katara, this really helped." Azula smiled standing up and hugging her.

"Anytime." Katara answered.
