AUthor's note: two things
1 I made Aang fourteen when he fought Ozai, not twelve, honestly, too much had gone on in that show for it to have only been one year
2 Aang's dead, he's not coming back, get used to it, please no hate reviews

DISCLAIMER As much as I would like to I do not own Avatar

Nita sat her toss dipped in the water of the Spirit Oasis, Tui and La swimming in a circle around her toes.

"That's not what the Oasis is for." someone said. Nita looked over, her friend Mitsuko walking towards her.

"Hey." Said Nita.

"What are you thinking about?" Mitsuko asked.

"This whole 'Avatar' thing." Nita sighed. "They must have made a mistake."

"Well, think about it," Mitsuko said, sitting down next to Nita, "you always were the best Waterbender in our class."

"That doesn't mean I'm the Avatar!" Nita told her, "That just means I'm a good bender!"

"Don't you want to be Avatar?" Mitsuko asked.

"No!" Nita said, "Why would I? I just want to be normal!"

"Have you tried meditating?" Mitsuko asked, "To get into the spirit world or whatever? Because if it works. Maybe somebody there can explain all of this to you. If not, then maybe the tribe elders are wrong and you aren't the Avatar."

"Alright," Nita agreed, "Thanks, Mitsy."

Mitsuko smiled and gave her friend a hug, then left the Oasis. Nita pulled her feet out of the water and crossed her legs. She closed her eyes, attempting to clear her over crowded mind. She wondered what she was supposed to do, was she supposed to repeat a word? Say a prayer? Visualize something? What did the spirit world even look like? She opened her eyes a little bit to see if she was there, she wasn't.

Come on. She thought, come on, come on.

She sighed, looked down at the water. Was she supposed to bath in it? Drink it? She noticed the koi fish, Tui and La, they were spirits, maybe if she watched them she could figure out how to enter the spirit world. She notices as they swam they formed a yin-yang...

Suddenly everything faded into blackness; then Nita was in...what looked like a big metal room, red banners with fire nation insignias were hanging up, in the middle of the room were two kids; one, a girl close to Nita's age in a tattered water tribe dress, was bending water on the back of a boy, slightly younger, with stubby black hair, also wearing tattered close, most of his bare skin wrapped in bandages. The boy was...asleep? Or unconscious, the girl guided water through his back, carefully, tears filled her eyes as they boy didn't stir.

"Come on..." she whispered, "Come on, come on, come on!"

The metal door creaked open a bit, "Hey, sis," an older boy said, "We just docked; we're going to get some food, you hungry?"

"No!" she said coldly.

"Hey," the older boy said, walking over to the girl and hugging her, "You've done everything you can..."

"They why won't he wake up!" cried the girl, "I'm supposed to be such a good healer, then why isn't he getting any better?"

"You're only fifteen," the boy told her, "You can't be expected to do everything, you saved his life, that's more than anyone could expect from someone with only one formal healing lesson."

"What if it wasn't enough." the girl sobbed, "What if he...I need him, Sokka! He's my best friend."

"I know," Sokka said, sympathetically.

"No you don't! You don't understand." she sobbed.

"I do," whispered Sokka, "You feel lost and helpless, how do you think I felt when I lost Yue, and I couldn't do anything about it?" The girl sobbed again. "Come on," Sokka said, "Come get something to eat, starving yourself won't help anything."

A second later the scene changed Nita was in the same room, but Sokka was gone, and this time the boy was awake, sitting up, his small shoulders tense as his friend tried to heal him.

"Tell me where your pain feels most intense." the girl said, guiding water over a nasty burn mark.

"A...little high," the boy said.

For a second the boy stiffened, his baby-like face contorted in pain, his eyes wide, but unseeing. As quickly as the spasm happened it was over.

"Wow." He panted, "You're defensibly in the right spot there." He told her.

"I can feel a lot of energy twisted up in here." The girl said, "Here, let me try something..." She drew the water back out, then the boy's shoulders shot back, his mouth open in a silent scream.

The girl looked worried, but then the boy fell forward slightly, putting his hand on his forehead, his gray eyes stretched wide. "I went down! I didn't just get hurt, did I?" He gasped in shocked panic, "It was worse than that, I was gone! But...you brought me back..."

The girl looked down, "I just used the spirit water from the North Pole," she admitted, "I don't know what I did, exactly."

"You saved me." The boy told her.

Her face was soft as she put her hand on the side of his head, "You need to rest." she said, gently. She pulled him into a hug, "You're safe now."

Nita opened her eyes; she was in the Spirit Oasis again.
