Summary: Aang has to ask Katara to the dance sometime.
Aang had been putting this off all week. But now, it was time. (Mainly because the dance was soon, so it was now or never.) It shouldn't be that hard, right? He had defeated the Fire Lord, saved the world, mastered all four elements -- surely asking Katara to the dance couldn't be that bad. But for some reason it was making him really nervous. He had decided the day before to ask her after their WTR 501 class, so he hadn't slept much the night before, instead spending the night mentally rehearsing what he would say to her. And now, the last few minutes of class were ticking away, his stomach ready to explode with anxiety.
As the class moved as a herd out the door, Aang caught hold of Katara's arm, pulling her gently out of the way of traffic. "Uh, Katara, could I talk to you...in private?" He was pretty sure she could hear the thumping of his heart when he spoke.
