100 Years Together

Chapter 1

Salina

"Aang, hurry up you slow poke!" I yelled.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Aang yelled back.

Aang and I are traveling around the palace where I live. Yes, I'm a fire nation princess and no I'm not that bad and wanting to control the world like some people in my family, Hakeem my twin brother for example. I look pale but I'm not I have a little tan as you would expect, but not much. I have long dark black hair and deep hazel eyes that I was told was said to cause some people in a trance. My favorite color is cherry red and that's what I usually wear too, but I'm supposed to be wearing a dress but I wear guy's clothes because they are way more comfortable.

My brother Hakeem has lighter black hair then mine, and not as deep hazel eyes then mine. He actually wears what is expected to wear, but he isn't as loved as he would like. I'm next in line for the throne, but I don't want it. Hakeem really wants the throne, but father won't allow it. He says that I'm more fit for the throne because I can actually analyze a situation, and make rational decisions that don't involve war. Truth be told I absolutely hate war! It's absolutely unnecessary and horrible.

Ok don't get me wrong I am supposed to like who my dad picks but I am in love with someone else even though I'm only 12. Aang is the one that I am absolutely in love with. He has that most beautiful smile that lights up the whole world! Aang also has the most deep gray eyes that seem to read through my feelings because he can actually read what I'm feeling on the inside and no one else can do that for me. Hopefully he can realize that I absolutely love him, but that feeling he can't read at all, and I don't know how to tell him.

Aang and I are best friends, but everything changed when I found out that I was the Avatar. I was supposed to find out when I was sixteen but there was a disturbance they said. Aang was absolutely heartbroken and I was crying because I didn't want to leave him at all! Then he found out he was the Avatar too, it was the first in decades. There are only two Avatars when they're really troubled times ahead, but they skipped the water tribe and went straight to the fire nation.

"You can go on your journey together, but just be careful please. Oh, and by the way I have picked your husband for you!" My dad Sozin answered.

"Dad, I'm in love with someone else." I answered with a defeated look on my face.

"What? Who?" Dad asked.

"Aang, I love Aang." I answered.

"Oh, I see. Well I can call off your wedding with the guy I picked for you." Dad said.

"Thanks Dad." I answered.

I walked out of the room looking as happy as ever, but then I saw Aang. He was sitting outside the door looking so sad and defeated. I had to ask how he was feeling even though I could tell that something went wrong in his family.

"Aang, what has happened?" I asked.

"The other monks, they won't let me be with Gyatso anymore. Gyatso is like my father to me! I can't believe they won't let me be with him anymore!" Aang screamed.

"Aang it will be ok I promise! I was going to tell you something, but you are too upset for me to say it." I told him with a very sad look on my face.

"What is it? I really want to know now." Aang answered with a very curious look on his face. I knew he was back so I might as well tell him.

"Fine. Okay so we've been friends for a long time ever since we were born, and we haven't kept any secrets from each other. The problem is that I have and I'm so sorry!" I answered.

"Can I know this secret of yours?" Aang asked not looking the least bit of hurt so I knew that he kept something from me too.

"Aang, I love you and I really want to go out with you. My father is okay with it and he says that you would be the perfect husband for me." I blurted out and that's when I had to close my eyes.

That's when I felt a hand on my face and I knew that hand it was Aang's. So, I opened my eyes and he was smiling at me and I couldn't help but smiling back.

"It took you long enough to tell me this! Salina, I love you too and yes I would be honored to be your husband." Aang laughed as he saw my face light up when he said that.

"We are going to have to wait though because I don't want to marry someone I love at age twelve its gross." I answered.

"Thank god you were thinking the same thing." Aang answered with a huge smile on his face.

"Let's go talk to my Dad then." I answered as we walked off to the main palace.

As we walked down I could notice something was up but I put it out of my mind since I was so happy.

"Dad, I got some great news!" I yelled.

"Let me guess you and Aang are to be married." Sozin answered.

"Yes, yes we are!" I yelled.

Then something went wrong. I heard Hakeem's voice in the background yelling die Dad!

"NO!" I screamed.

Aang had to pull me back from running in the room while I was hysterically crying.

"No, Aang let me get in there! Aang please my dad needs help! AANG!" I kept screaming.

He pulled me to Appa his most trusted friend while I was searching for my hawk Serko. As Aang was pulling me along the corridor Serko was flying over us. We managed to get to Appa and fly over the sea a freak storm came and blew us off course. Then, everything went blank and I wouldn't see the world for another one hundred years.
