Together

Swim Team

Aang was excited, today he and Katara were trying out for the swim team. Coach Pakku was said to be really good. Aang and Katara walked down to the gym before tryouts where Coach Pakku was going to do a roll call of the sign-up list. When he got to Katara's name, he paused before saying, "You are a girl I don't coach girls." It was at that moment Aang noticed that Katara was the only girl trying out.

"Why not?" Katara had to ask

"Girls aren't as strong of swimmers as boys are."

"Oh yeah, I could beat every boy here, even you."

"Confident are you."

"Extremely, in fact, I challenge you to a race." She had to be crazy, there was no way, no matter how good she maybe, that she would beat Pakku. He had trained for years on end, Katara was only fourteen.

Pakku rolled his eyes, "I don't have time for this young girl." It was after he said that, she got so fed up with Coach Pakku and dived into the water.

"Sounds like you're scared." The coach was on his last straw with her and dived in. He had one of the boys time them, and they raced to the other end of the pool. Katara beat him by a full three seconds. Everyone was shocked at first but quickly began cheering for her. Pakku had no choice but to accept her to the team. Aang and most of the guys there also made the team.

After tryouts, Aang congratulated Katara, "Great job! I knew you could do it! You showed that old man!"

"Thanks for the... enthusiasm. This is going to be so much fun right."

Suddenly Aang had an idea, "Hey you want to go to the park?"

"Um... sure"

When they got there it seemed empty, so they sat on the bench and talked, her favorite color was blue, he had a cat and dog, she hated papaya, he was a vegetarian, she blamed herself for her mother's death. That one through Aang off guard, Kya had moved Katara out of the way during a shooting. She admitted that it was different for her brother, he didn't have to see the body, he didn't stay up blaming himself. Aang didn't know what to say, she had tears in her eyes so he hugged her tight. She hugged him back before checking the time, "Should head back home, thank you though, I couldn't have asked for a better friend." Then she kissed his cheek before walking off. Aang secretly had a crush on Katara and was blushing like mad.

A/N: Have some Kataang and feminism! Fun Fact: I'm from the suburbs, no I'm not telling you from were, that would be stupid.
