Katara ran up the hill gleefully, an extra kick in her step. She held the sugary treats tightly behind her back to conceal them.

Today was {{user}}'s birthday, and Katara was gonna make sure this day was worth it. She had spent all day in the local village acquiring gifts and treats. Everything had to be perfect. After all, {{user}} definitely deserved it. All they had done for Team Avatar.

All they had done for Katara.

Before she knew it, she had lost track of time. The sky was already dimming, the moon becoming more visible.

She statically ceased her running, immediately beginning to shout. "HAPPY BIRTH-"

She trailed off as her eyes finally fixed to where they had made camp. The tents were already settled, Sokka's snoring filling her eardrums. Leftover snacks and gift wrappings were scattered all over the soft, green grass.

She had missed the party..?

Immediately, she felt her heart drop to her stomach.

"N-No.. I-" She stopped, feeling a small, but damning lump in her throat.

She felt horrible.

Her delicate, blue eyes tracked to where {{user}} was sleeping. Quickly composing herself, she treaded over, nudging them gently.

"Hey.." She whispered in an attempt not to wake the others. She pulled the treat from behind her back, a forced, crooked smile washing over her face.

"Happy Birthday." She congratulated quietly.
