Summary: Aang is a little late to his wedding.



Katara began to pace around the temple. She avoided the look the priest was giving her, as well as Gran-Gran’s exasperated expression.

“Where is he?” Katara stormed at Sokka, who stepped back from her anger and shrugged his shoulders.

“He said he needed to do something and he’d be back,” her brother said. He patted her shoulder soothingly. “Don’t worry.”

Katara’s hands fisted at her sides, and she saw Suki running frantically to the front of the aisle. “I found him!” Katara felt relieved momentarily, but then a loud noise made everyone freeze. With wide eyes, people screamed as a large rumble of snow began to thunder toward them.

On the top of said rumble was Katara’s husband-to-be.

“Katara, look! I brought some old friends to our wedding!” He grinned enormously, riding on a penguin’s back as the rest of the pack slid quickly behind him, bringing the snow bank with them. Several people got up and tried to escape the avalanche, but Katara’s burgeoning powers cocooned them and made them stay.

After the snow bank covered them, Katara and the others rose from a protective ice bubble, and it popped open when the snow cleared. Katara crossed her arms in a huff as she stared at her fiancé, face-planted in the snow.

He raised his head and grinned at her sheepishly. The priest dusted off the snow and gave the couple a withered glance. Katara helped Aang up, and he scratched his head awkwardly as he peered into her eyes. “Um…I do?”

Katara sighed as Sokka laughed. The rest of the guests pulled themselves out of the snow. The music started, and Katara couldn’t stay mad at him. The Avatar might have been older, but his antics would never change.

Katara wouldn’t want him to be any other way.

Very nice. I think I can imagine Aang doing something like this. Just being totally late for his own wedding because he was doing something silly, like playing with penguins.

incredibly cute and soooo in character. one small thing....i'm not so sure you used the phrase "burgeoning" the way I've always understood it to mean. I mean, she's an adult now so her powers are more or less done burgeoning. unless you mean that her protecting ice barrier burgeoned out around the guests....

from Merriam Webster:

bur·geon
Variant(s):
also bour·geon \ˈbər-jən\
Function:
intransitive verb
1 a: to send forth new growth (as buds or branches) : sprout b: bloom
2: to grow and expand rapidly

Thanks!
Yep, I meant for her powers to burgeon around the guests.
