3RD PERSON:

"Am I ugly?" 

Aang gasped loudly, causing Sokka to gag. "Shut up," Suki muttered, elbowing him in the ribs. He rolled his eyes. Aang walked over to Katara and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. She blushed and continued to look in the mirror ahead of her, her arms wrapped around her waist, a tiny tear falling down her cheek. 

"Am I?" He shook his head and planted a small kiss on her bare shoulder, leaving her blushing like crazy. "You're drop-dead stunning." She frowned as another tear strolled down her cheek. 

"Then why did Toph's parents think I am?" Aang buried his head in her neck, letting the earthbender reply to this. Which she does. 

"My parents are blinder bitches than I am, Katara. Don't listen to them." Katara let another tear fall. "I know. But still. You are a lot prettier than me." Aang and Toph both scoffed. "No I'm/she's not, Kat." Katara shook her head. "Yeah, you are." 

Aang's hands trailed up to under his girlfriend's shoulders, then trailed his arms all the way down her sides, not missing a curve. "Still feel ugly?" She nodded as he rested his chin on her shoulder. He sighed and got up, pecking her and standing up straight. 

"Ok, then. I give up, sorry." She frowned and wrapped her hands back around her waist. "Not eating lunch. Going to waterbend. Anyone coming?" Katora shook her head, but Aang nodded. "I'll come. And I'll bring food." Zuko and Mai smiled. 

"No, Aang, don't-" 

"You just don't want to gain weight, and I don't think Aang's having that," Azula said, pointing to the airbender, who was throwing fruit into a basket. "Katara, you're gorgeous, I don't know what you're talking about," Suki said, flipping a pancake on the stove. "Really, Kitty Kat," Tylee smiled as she ate a grape. 

"You look like my girlfriend, so I can't really say anything," Timber grinned. Katora smiled and sat down next to him. "Oogies," Toph and Sokka complained. Everyone glared at them, but Zuko and Mai just smiled. Well, Zuko did. Mai just sat there. 

"If you bring food, I'm going alone," Katara ordered. "Well, I'm technically the same person as you, so I'll just bring food, and then you'd technically be alone," Katora reasoned. Azula cackled with Toph for a good few seconds before Katara stopped them. 

"No, guys. I just don't want to eat." Sokka raised en eyebrow as his father walked in the room. "Did you forger you have 'The Kya Curse'? Katara, Aang's fighting at least 200 guys for you right now," he said as he sat down. 

"I am?" he asked. "Why didn't I know about this?" Katara smiled and hugged her waist again. "I swear, if you think you're to heavy, you're around 120 pounds. That's underweight for your age, Katara," Aang said, holding her hand. She shook her head. 

"Oh, Spirits, no. Katara, he's 2 years younger than you. If that's what you're worried about, forget it," Katora laughed. Aang raised an eyebrow. "You- Katara, I'm barely 100 pounds, and that's horrible for my age. Don't even- I'm 2 years younger than you." Katara smiled and shook her head. 

"I'm not that stupid, I know how old you are. And that's not what I'm worried about. I know how much I weigh, but... you know, nevermind, I'll just go waterbending. Anyone else?" Aang nodded and grabbed the picnic basket, and the two exited the house, Katara still on her crutches. 

Once they reached a pond, they sat down together and smiled. "Katara, Yue and Yuo told me that you were sick when I was gone," Aang said, looking down at his water bottle. Katara flushed pink; she knew this would come up eventually.
