The gang, plus Zuko and Iroh basked in the sunset colored glow of the fire. It was autumn, the leaves on the trees matched the fire in color. They had defeated Ozai that summer, but still had some work to do restoring peace and controlling violence.

It was a chilly night, and it seemed it was filled with spirits. It felt like eyes were all around them. It was not a pleasant night to be outside.

"I don't like the feeling of this place," Sokka said, stroking his boomerang.

"I don't know why, it gives me the creeps"

"It was fine before sunset," Katara added.

"I wonder why it feels like this now?"
Iroh put down his teacup at looked around at the youths.

"Do you not know what tonight is?" He asked eyebrows raised.

"It is Spirits Night. It is celebrated in both the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation alike. It is a night when spirits leave their realm."

"We don't have anything like that," Katara said.

"In Winter we have a feast to honor our dead and show respect to them. How is Spirits Night Celebrated?"

Iroh opened his mouth to answer, but Zuko in a moment unlike him replied first.

"We would have bonfires to scare away the bad spirits and welcome the good. We would have different kinds of food. We'd play games to and tell frightening stories," He said in his usual low voice.

"That sounds like what we do in the Earth Kingdom" Toph said.

"We do the exact same stuff. But I'm sure the stories are different"

Aang, who was petting Momo looked up suddenly, as if remembering something.

"The Air Nomads celebrated Spirit Night! We used to leave the temples and go down to any villages nearby wearing masks and go to each house and ask for sweets, then we'd return to the temple and eat them. It was a lot of fun!" He chirped.

"This holiday sounds like fin," Sokka said a grin spreading on his face.

"Let's celebrate it right now!" Aang said excitedly.

"Sokka and Katara have never celebrated it!"

"We are not going to beg for sweets" Toph and Zuko said at the same time.

"No, I mean let's tell some stories. We have a fire, we have leechy nuts to roast, I'm sure we'll have fun and keep the bad spirits away!" Aang said. He was excited, scooting back and forth on his air scooter.

"Sounds wonderful" Iroh said smiling.

"I'll start the first story"
