LOAK SIGHED AS he walked out of his mauri to go apologize to Aonung, he really didn't want to face him after the fight, but he didn't have a choice. He was walking on the hot sand, when he saw Aonung and his friends from a distance, on their Ilu's.

Loak called his ilu and swam over to them. What's tree boy doing here?" Koro remarked, one of Aonung's friends. "I'm sorry I hit you. So many times." Loak apologized, as he approached Aonung. "Hey, let's be friends." Aonung replied shaking Loak's hand.

"Come hunting with us, outside the reef. It's where the men hunt." Aonung continued looking at his friends with mischief. Loak reluctantly agreed, but little did he know that they were up to no good.

Eclipse had already passed, it was completely dark out and Lo'ak hadn't returned home. Nai'a'la paced back in forth in her mauri, she was extremely worried for her brother. Jake and Tonowari sent out a group of warriors to search for Lo'ak. Once Nai'a'la found out what Aonung and his friends did, she went ballistic on him. "You left my brother outside the reef?! Are you fucking crazy?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" She hissed at Aonung, full of rage.

He looked down as his ears lowered, not knowing what to say. He felt guilty for what he did. He knew you would never forgive him.

Meanwhile, Lo'ak met a new friend, a Tulkun, named Payakan. He was on his way home, talking to Payakan about his father and about Earth. When he heard his name being called several times.

"Oh no, I'm in trouble. I will see you again."

Payakan let out a high pitched wail, swimming away. Luckily a warrior found him and took him back home. Nai'a'la immediately ran over to Loak and hugged tightly.

Loak, I'm so glad you're okay." She cried, Loak caressed her head softly. "It's okay sis, I'm okay." He replied. She pulled away from the hug and turned around, glaring at Aonung.

"Loak!" Neytiri gasped as she checked Lo'ak for any bruises. Jake stood beside him holding his arm. "I pray for the strength not to pluck the eyeballs out of my youngest son!" Neytiri hissed.

"No my son knows better than to take him outside the reef. The blame is his." Tonowari spoke up. "Ok come on let's go." Jake said as he began to walk. But Loak stopped him, speaking up. "No, it is not Aonung's fault. It was my idea." Jake sighed. Aonung looked at Loak with confusion. Nai'a'la's eyes widened, not believing the fact that Lo'ak took the blame for that skxawng.

Aonung received a fair punishment, he had to do chores around the village for weeks.

Nai'a'la began to ignore Aonung after what he did. Days passed, even weeks. Nai'a'la would skip breathing lessons and even swimming lessons as well.

She would always make up excuses so she wouldn't interact with Aonung. Tsireya and Rotxo started to catch on.

Even Aonung.

He tried to talk to her whenever he got the chance. But she would immediately run away, or walk in the opposite direction.

Nai'a'la waited for her family fall asleep, once they did she sneaked out of her mauri to take a stroll around the beach.

It's become a habit lately since she's been having trouble sleeping.

Nai'a'la took a deep breath feeling the soft breeze brush past her. She looked up at the sky, admiring the stars. When she heard footsteps approaching her. She looked towards right side and saw Aonung walking towards her. She rolled her eyes and rapidly started walking away.

"Nai'a'la, please listen to me." Aonung called for her as he pulled her wrist, tugging her towards him. "Leave me alone Aonung." Nai'a'la replied coldly, trying her best to break free from his grasp.

"Please Nai'a'la, just listen to me." He begged. She sighed, giving in. She turned around to look at him. "Fine. Speak." She replied resting her hand on her hip.

Aonung paused before speaking. "Look, I'm sorry for what I did to your brother. It was cruel and selfish of me to do something like that. I promise I won't ever do it again." He apologized.

Nai'a'la could see the sincerity in his eyes.

She could tell that he meant it.

"I already apologized to Lo'ak, we've made amends."

Nai'a'la hissed. "Fine, I forgive you, but you better stop making fun of me and my siblings. And if you ever do anything to hurt any of my siblings, you're done. "

She replied bitterly walking closer to him pointing her finger at him.

Aonung nodded. "I promise." He replied genuinely. "Good." She replied back. After an intense moment of pure silence.

Aonung placed his hand on her cheek, caressing it with his thumb. "You're beautiful, so beautiful." He whispered admiring all of her features.

Her big yellow-green eyes, her beautiful blue stripes, your soft plump lips. Nai'a'la's breath hitched, not knowing what to say.

"Thank you." She replied , staring into his blue eyes, they were so captivating.

He pulled her closer by the waist.

He nuzzled his face against hers, her heart was pounding and her breathing started to get heavier, your faces were inches apart.

The both of stayed like that for a few seconds, then Aonung pulled you in for a kiss.

Nai'a'la gave in, closing her eyes. She kissed him back, their lips moved perfectly in sync, his lips tasted sweet and felt soft. Your bodies molded together as you both continued to pull each other closer.

She felt safe and secure in his arms. He licked her lips softly. Your tongues swirled against each other. Nai'a'la moaned quietly as Aonung deepened the kiss.

He placed soft kisses on her neck and made his way back to her lips again.

Savoring the sweetness of them.

Your breaths began to get heavier as you continued to make out. Nai'a'la could feel sparks flow throughout her body.

Aonung softly sucked the tip of her tongue, she moaned quietly. It felt so good.

Your tongues continued to dance together as Aonung held you tightly by your hips. The kiss was intense and heated.

The both of you pulled away to catch your breaths. Nai'a'la panted softly, she looked up at Aonung as he looked at her with his typical smirk. The both of you stared into each other's eyes, still slightly panting.

"I should uh get going, before my parents notice that I'm gone." She spoke up anxiously as her face began to heat up.

Aonung nodded.

"See you tomorrow pretty face." He replied pecking her lips once more before walking away. She giggled happily as she walked back to her mauri.

Nai'a'la looked up at the ceiling, smiling to herself , thinking...'oh my Eywa, I made out with Aonung. Aonung?!'

Nai'a'la slowly drifted off to sleep, still not believing what she just did.
