Note: before we begin, this story is a remake of my deleted story By A Thread. i deleted it because it was crappy/bad plot but this one'll be better. XD. This story is going to follow a similar plot line but will be mainly different.

I DO NOT OWN ATLA BUT IF I DID i would totally freak out. ;)

anyway enuff of this crap...ON WITH THE STORY!

Prologue

Avatar Aang had just turned 16. Everyone in the old Gaang had gotten together after three years of peace.3 years ago, one week after the war ended The gaang had split up to rebuild thew world in their respected nations but Aangs was gone so he had decided to go to the southern Air temple for a year and get rid of all the debris from the war 100 years ago that had started at Aangs home. He was going to spend a year their with no one but Appa and Momo for company and with their help (or maybe not) they would rebuild the southern air temple and restore it to it's former glory and try to save what little culture their was left. He had started by getting rid of all the skeletons and such then burying them a few miles away in a large field. then he airbended as much dust as he could over to the valley until it was all gone; Aang had become an amazing avatar lately. he had done many things in that year to clean the southern air temple but it took him almost 3 years to fully clean the territory. when finished Aang had sent momo as a sort of messenger hawk to all the old Gaang members and said he wanted them to come to the southern air temple in 3 months to see his finished product. the reunion would take place on his birthday. the remaining three months were spent in meditation, and for the first couple of weeks momo would appear then and again with replies but after a fortnight this stops. everyone could make it.

EARTH KINGDOM

Toph Bei Fong had returned to the earth kingdom and gotten a big surprise when she noticed her parents. they said they werre proud of her and that they finnaly understood what a strong girl she was. after that, to great surprise and old friend Kuei(earth king),asked her to be a general in the newly reborn counsel of five to help the city's recreatrion process; she said yes without hesitation and started coming up with blue prints and such things immediately. almost 3 years later Toph got Aangs letter.

NORTHERN WATER TRIBE

After the war and a reunion with his dad, sokka set out for the northern water tribe to help rebuild the war destroyed city. he went here instead of the southern water tribe because he knew katara had that licked, and he still had unfinished buisness there. when he had arrived he decided to help out by teaching the non benders the way of the sword and would often spen lonely days at the spirit oasis where zuko had fought katara so many years ago. he soon realized that as much as he wanted to help more, his part in the northern water tribe was done, and he was finaly at left after 3 years of service and was honored with an ice statue in the town square. Then he got the letter.

SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE

KataraHad parted with her brother a week after zuko's corination to go in search of young southern water tribers to see if there were any benders left. also many villages had been destroyed so katara was always helping people make did find some waterbenders left. their were only 3 and there names were miku, yuki and sokara. every day they got better. for 2 years they trained until sokara who was 14 became a master. yuki was 12 and she managed to become a master 6 monthes later. they were all taught the same thing at the same time but yuki and miku could never be as good as sokara. he was brilliant. then 3 months later slow learner miku became a master. sokara and yuki had put off leaving for a long time so she and her friend could go on a trip around the world together, then come back to see if there were any new waterbenders found, as katara had only searched 1/2 of the villages before she found the trio. sokara had left 3 months after he had become a master to go and viwit the 4 air temples in order of north east west then south. he spent 4 months at each place but had to put off the southern air temple for 2 months because he had fallen extremely ill.( he was saved at the brink of death by an unknown stranger. he had the same desease katara and sokka got a few years ago when aang met the blue spirit.)for this reason he never ran into the gaang when he finnaly got there. he had went to each temple for some inner peace(he had lived on the streets since he was 3 untill katara took him in) katara was finnaly settling in and getting used to not having 3 apprentices to pass the time when she was surprised by momo and the letter aang sent her.

FIRE NATION

Zuko, obviously stayed in the fire nation with his girlfriend mai making new rules and doing fire lord-ish stuff. he rebuilt parts of the city and things like that until one year later, he proposed to may. at 17 she accepted his proposal; a year later, at 18 they were married. a year later may became pregnant with his son. he was 19 by this time. then the letter from Aang came. it said to come alone strangely because everyone knew about his project but in the letter it also stated that he wanted his closest friends to see it 1st. he departed the day before aangs birthday on a small hot air balloon (alone) to find his old friend. if they had know what would happen to zuko the day he left, they could have stopped everything.
