A month had passed and not a day went by where they didn't see each other, even if it was Katara hanging out at the air temple and just watching him work. They had grown to love each other even more and learn the little things about each other. Though their time spent alone together was scarce, when they were alone things didn't go very far beyond heated kisses. They were not going to rush their relationship now that everything was out in the open, although sometimes those heavy lidded eyes they gave each other said otherwise.

The temple and the surrounding buildings were finally finished and thirty-some Air Acolytes had come to live with Aang in their respective dorms. Not all of them were woman, but a good two thirds were. With the buildings finished and the grounds in working order, the place still didn't seem like home. The library was nearly empty, his home and the temple had hardly any decorations or air nomad artifacts, not to mention the training gates were missing from their posts near the plaza. There was just so much missing and so little he could retrieve from the other air temples. Some of the Acolytes had brought with them artifacts they had found on their own, but it wasn't enough. The rooms still echoed. The walls were still too blank. And it made Aang sad in his heart to know there were some things that he just couldn't bring back.

It was another stormy night that night as they entered early summer together. He had awoken in a cold sweat with heavy breathing from a vision. Across the bay, Katara was tossing and turning that night too as the thunder rolled and made her uncomfortable, flashes of lightning splitting the sky. The rain came down in sheets, the heavy sound on her roof making the night restless for her. In her dream she saw herself in an air temple she wasn't familiar with. She kept calling out for Aang and became anxious when she couldn't find him. Next thing she knew she was being outnumbered by fire and earthbenders and she had to fight as hard as she could to keep them at bay, all while trying to call for Aang to help her. There were a dozen of them, and she hadn't fought in a long time, easily needing his back up. Just then a loud crack of thunder woke her up and she sat straight up in bed, breathing and sweating just like he had not far from her home. As she tried to catch her breath a knock came at her door and she slipped out of bed, knowing exactly who it was. No one else would dare disturb her this late into the night.

As she opened the door as Aang stumbled through with his glider in hand and in just his pants, closing the door behind him and setting his glider against the wall.

"Did you have a bad dream too?" She asked him before he could even say anything. He turned to her and just wrapped his arms around her body, holding her close. The embrace was just that of relief and nothing sensual, despite herself being in the little night gown she was in when came over that morning after their first date.

"No... it wasn't a dream." He said into her hair, holding her so close, so relieved that she was okay and not hurt. "It was a vision."

He backed away from her and held her by the shoulders.

"Vision? Of what Aang?"

"You were at the Eastern Air Temple and you got ambushed by some benders, they outnumbered you and I wasn't around to help you..."

"But... that's what I dreamt of..." She said and looked into his eyes, slightly fearful. He looked from her to the ground and let go of her shoulders, walking over to her small couch and sitting down, hanging his head in his hands. She came and sat beside him and was quiet for a while. Eventually her curiosity got the better of her.

"How could we have had the same dream?"

"It wasn't a dream Katara. It was a vision of the future..." He said and dragged his hands down his face, hunched over in worry. Katara tried to use reason.
