A/N: One shots! Yep I don't own Avatar but I sure love to write about it! Inspired by the boy in the Iceberg, obviously. Enjoy!"Aang get ready everyone is waiting to meet you." The Water Tribe girl's eyes widened with fascination as they traced his tattoos.She got lost in thought for a moment thinking many questions she was too timid to ask aloud.
What did the tattoo's mean? She knew airbender's got them but did they symbolize something? How bad did it hurt? Weren't they only for those that mastered the element? He's just a boy. He must be powerful enough to have earned them, he had, after all gotten into that iceberg somehow and survived.
She watched as he pulled his shirt over his back and arms no longer reviling the oh-so interesting marks. He popped his head out of the collar and snugly adjusted it for comfort.
His back turned to her and she couldn't help but wonder if he knew she was staring.
He grabbed his staff, again raising more questions in Katara's mind. A stick what could that possibly be used for? She took him by the arm in excitement and brought him outside with no protest.
The confused faces of the people she all recognized and knew by name stared at them and she began to speak trying to ease the awkward silence, "Aang, this is the entire village, entire village this is Aang."
A grin broke out on his face and Katara couldn't help but smile. "Hi!" He said waiving normally at first but broke into more of a nervous greeting when no one said anything back.
He glanced back at her slightly confused and openly asked, "…Is something wrong?" Taking his hand down from rubbing the back of his neck he was confronted by an older woman whom Katara knew as Gran Gran.
"Well no one has seen an airbender in over a hundred years, we thought they were extinct." Her face was stern and serious but Aang seemed to think she was joking, just how long has he been in that iceberg? Katara felt bad for him, sending the boy a sympathetic look as their eyes briefly met.
He said he wasn't the Avatar, or even knew the guy but Katara felt that he could help her, even if she didn't exactly know with what. Something about him spoke out to her she is determined to find out. But the most important thing, he gives her hope.
