Awwh, thanks you guys! I didn't mean to make you guys cry, honest! I just had to get that idea out I only have about, three more challenge prompts to do so I'll be done with Kataang for the next update. I'm thinking about writing some one shots, or finally writing up that College-AU idea. I'm gonna ask you guys, which would you like to see more? Some more one shots, or the College-AU idea? Also, feel free to request any ideas for a Kataang fanfic/drabble! I'd be more than happy to write one for you . The next update should be (hopefully) by the end of the week, 'till then!

I love your oneshots, but I'd like to seee that College AU fic after this. It would be cool, and besides you've had the idea for a long time so you should put it into action.

Alrighty then! I'll do both, just for fun. I'll start planning out more on the College-AU, while writing some drabbles in between.

Okay, another Kataang update! *Waits for the Zujins to throw tomatoes at her* But do not fear Zujins! I promise, next update? Zujin! with Kataang of course!
Misunderstandings:
So what if Toph was suddenly very close to Aang? It didn't bother Katara, nope, not even one bit. Sokka gave her the news as soon as she arrived back in the Fire Nation. Katara was away, back home in the Southern Water Tribe helping with the politics. She was the ambassador for the South Pole in Fire Lord Zuko's council, and since their people didn't have the necessary means to get information back and forth, Katara stood in to help. She was briefly away for a couple of months, and during these months apparently, Toph began holding conversations with Aang.
According to her meathead of a brother, the two met a lot. Whatever the two were talking about, it was a secret to Sokka and only known to Aang and Toph. There were rumors going around in the Fire Palace of the Avatar and his "friend". She even asked Zuko to verify this, and even he remarked about how the Avatar and his earthbending teacher were suddenly very close. It didn't bother her though, because once she returned to the Fire Nation, Aang would run into her arms and embrace his long time best friend.
But he didn't. He didn't even show up when her ship stopped by in the harbor. The only people there to greet her were Sokka and Iroh, accompanied by Mai and Ty Lee.
"Where's Aang?" Katara asked her brother after leaving the dock.
"He's somewhere with Toph. I told him that you were arriving today, but he said he had something important to discuss with her. I bet he's probably asking for her hand in marriage or somethin- ouch!"
Katara elbowed him on his hip, hoping that she hurt him good. Her brother obviously knew how much Aang meant to her, after all they are best friends. Suddenly being replaced by Toph made Katara feel...uneasy. She was only gone for a few months, what could've possibly happened to them? When Katara returned to the Fire Palace and was walking down the halls, she was surprised to see Aang and Toph sitting outside in the gardens. What surprised her the most was that Aang was on one knee, holding out something in his hand and presenting it to her.
Her stomach started doing loops, and her heart began to race faster than it ever had. She couldn't help herself, and was soon standing outside in the gardens before them.
"Aang! What are you doing?!"
Aang turned around, blushing as he stood upright to confront her. "Oh! Hey Katara, it's been forever! Umm..." He didn't seem like he wanted to talk or really explain the situation.
So Toph did it for him instead. "Hey Sugar Queen, can't you see that Aang and I are really busy here? The guy's basically proposing to me and you ruined it!"
Katara stared at the two, her mouth open and unable to really explain how she felt. She should be happy for them, right? Toph and Aang are two very close friends of hers, and if they were happy being together then she should be too...right?
"But..."
Toph arched her brow, "But what Sugar Queen? Don't tell me you're jealous!"
Aang didn't say a work, and could only look at the two girls. The next war might start right and here if he didn't butt in. "Look, Katara. This is, well..."
"You don't have to explain yourself Aang! If Katara can't see what's clearly right in front of her then explaining won't do you any good."
This was when Katara had it. "Excuse me?! You guys are too young to get married anyway! Besides, I-I..."
"You what? C'mon, spit it out Sugar Queen."
"How could you be with Aang when you know...you know how much I-I...!"
Toph gestured at Aang to stay put, and began fiddling with her fingers pretending she didn't really care what Katara said. "Yeah yeah, I hear you but I don't understand you. Speak up! I'm not deaf you know, just blind."
"When you know how much I love Aang!"
Aang stood there, barely able to try to comprehend what just happened here. Katara stood there in shock, and Toph smirked.
"Good, it's about time. Look Sugar Queen, the reason why Aang and I have been talking these last couple of months was because I was trying to get him to confess his feelings for you. What you walked in on just now? He was practicing his proposing speech to you. He was going to keep it a surprise but I guess the cat's out of the bag now."
"...What?"
"You heard right Katara. Aang's been begging me to help him with his dilemma, and I knew you liked him back too so I was just helping him out."
Katara couldn't move, and her face was suddenly becoming red from embarassment. "I-I..."
"Did you honestly believe that I would like a guy like twinkletoes here? He's not that bad of a guy but, my interests lie elsewhere." She laughed, patting Aang on the back. "Good luck sprinkles, you have a lot to work with." She left the two there, hoping the lovebirds would finally confess how they feel.
Katara and Aang didn't say anything else, all they could do was look at each other with a new understanding.
"So..."
"Yeah, so..."
Katara smiled, walking towards Aang before she leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek. "I really like that necklace you made for me..."
He blushed, and then smiled holding it up for her to see. "It took me a long time to make it, actually. Sokka helped me out..."
"It's beautiful," she told him. They had so much to talk about, and once they were done with this moment, she was going to give her brother a much needed knockout.

This was so brilliant Aang *another Karma when my hour ends* and yet it was so humorous, Katara thought she lost Aang forever to Toph, very clever of them and well thought out.

power: Thanks! The idea came into my head after reading the discussions about Aang, Katara, and jealousy. I thought it was time for Katara to get jealous instead of Aang. Glad you loved it. @frozen: "Sprinkles" came out of nowhere. Thanks! I had a feeling it would've been obvious with the "misunderstands" as the core theme. Yeah, I only have three left. When I finish, I'll post them in the Aang/Katara community to share with them.

Lol, I kept waiting for the loophole with the whole fake Taang thingy, when Aang was 'proposing' to her I thought it would actualy turn out Taang . But as usual, I was wrong and I'm glad. *Karma*

Thanks guys! I almost tricked you two didn't I? *evil laugh* Anyway, here are two drabbles -- one for Zujin and one for Kataang. Enjoy!
Zuko/Jin
The Gaang:
Aang, Katara, Sokka and even Toph was surprised when Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation brought along a girl clinging on to his arm. She smiled, giving each of them a wave with her other hand. "Nice to meet all of you. Are you guys Zuko's friends?"
Sokka couldn't help but burst out laughing. Zuko glared at him, and Katara nudged him at the side for being so rude. "Jeez, I'm sorry!"
"So, are you Princess' girlfriend or something?" Toph asked, trying to make a vivid image of the girl via earthbending.
She giggled, holding on to his arm tighter. "You can say so!" Zuko didn't say a word, he just sighed and it was clear that the Prince of the Fire Nation was embarassed.
"You're Zuko's girlfriend?"
"Yup."
"Are you really?"
"Well, I like him and he likes me. He asked me out just a couple of days ago. I guess that does make me his girlfriend, don't you think?" She smiled.
Sokka started laughing again, followed by Aang only a few seconds later. Katara sighed, and approached Jin while Toph took care of the two knuckleheads. "I'm sorry my brother's been so rude. It's really nice to meet you. Although, it is a bit..."
"Amazing?" Jin added.
"More like, bizare to see Zuko with...a girlfriend."
"Is it really that hard to imagine?" Zuko asked her.
Katara crossed her arms, arching her brow with a smirk on her face. "You can say that. I didn't know girls would find you charming."
"I can be charming!" he belted out.
"He has been charming. The other day he brought over tons of roses for me!" Jin said to Katara, her smile wider than before.
"Zuko? Charming? Are you kidding me? The guy would rather blow fire out of his nose than be charming with a girl." Sokka couldn't stop laughing, and Aang was already on the floor, holding on to his stomach with tears in his eyes.
"Your friends are so nice!" Jin snuggled up against his arm, and Zuko could n't help but sigh. It was going to be a long week.
Katara/Aang
Explaining Oneself:
He kept himself in his room, looking through all the old books and scrolls that were kept in the Southern Air Temple's library. When he was younger, he used to love coming into the library and read some of the things that were kept in there. There were scrolls that depicted catastrophes that happened hundreds and thousands of years ago. There were books that talked about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
When the war ended, and peace was beginning to sprout across the nations, he found time for himself and decided to re-visit this library. It was dusty and moldy, but his favorite books and scrolls were still there. One scroll in particular caught his interest now, and he wouldn't know just how valueable it will be for him. He's been with Katara for years now, but they hardly had the time to see each other. Too many things were going on, there was councils and meetings that kept seperating the both of them most of the time.
She was older now, just as he was, but she was still the same beautiful waterbending girl he grew to respect and love. In the scroll, it talked about words and the right way to weave them to make a beautiful poem as the end result. "This will be perfect...!"
A couple of days later, he tries his best to master this form of writing. In train of thought, he called himself 'Aang, the wordbender!'. While on his free time, he locks himself in the room provided for him, and begins to weave away. Katara had no idea what Aang was doing, and she wondered why he was distant than before. She finally had enough time to be with him, but he seemed to be busy with other things. She had to admit, she was really looking forward to being with him again, and it made her feel upset that he was locking himself without even telling her what he was doing. He's never been one to keep secrets from her, even the things that bothered him that most from time to time...
She decided to face this head on, and knocked on Aang's door hoping for a reply. "Aang, I know you're in there. Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Umm, sure! You can come in Katara."
She opened the door, and found his room filled with un-used scrolls all over the floor. There were ink bottles on his table, maybe around 4 or 5. On his bed, laid a finished scroll, and her boyfriend.
"What are you doing? You've been distant for a while now I was starting to worry."
"Don't worry Katara, I was just trying to make something special for you." He coughed, and then recited to her the poem he had just finished:
And all my instincts, they return. The grand facade, so soon will burn. Without a noise, without my pride, I reach out for the inside...
In your eyes, the light the heat In your eyes, I am complete. I see the doorway, to a thousand churches. The resolution, of all my fruitless searches. I want to touch the light and heat I see in your eyes..
"Oh Aang, that was so...so..."
He leaned in and kissed her, his clean hand on her cheek. "Happy birthday my love."
(Yes, that is "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. It's one of my favorite songs. *Sigh*)
