Mkay so this is RITS. (Realize In The Sky) It's my first avatar fic so I know it's probably crappy. :O Oh well, this is pretty much what I HOPE will happen.

Disclaimer: I don't own avatar: the last airbender, sadly.

The rays of sunlight reflected off of a beautiful necklace. A young waterbender clutched the necklace as she looked down toward her friend. Next to her was a young boy with incredible power, he was the Avatar. His wounds were starting to heal after the waterbender used her healing abilities to try to revive him.

"Sugar Queen! You need some rest, you haven't slept for days! Twinkle Toes will be fine; you've healed him enough times already." A blind earthbender yelled from across the colossal flying bison named Appa.

Katara looked down at Aang again and sighed. She loved Aang, he was part of their family. She loved him as much as Sokka. Like a brother, or maybe even a son.

I really am tired.. Katara thought to herself.

It had been 3 days since the horrible day in Ba Sing Se. Azula, a crazy fire nation princess, almost killed Aang as he was in the Avatar State. If it wasn't for Katara's Spirit Oasis water, the Avatar probably would have died. They were headed toward the eastern air temple where a guru was living. They all agreed that he would know what to do to help them; he had been with Aang before after all.

"We should get to the temple by tomorrow night..Katara…you should sleep." Sokka informed everyone. He had been so worried about Aang these past days, he loved Aang like the brother he's never had. Katara nodded and carefully walked over toward her sleeping bag on the other side of Appa.

Toph moved over and stared sightlessly into the night sky. Toph would never admit it, but she had almost cried every night since Aang was brutally hurt. She kept quiet, and mentally slapped herself for not being the tough earthbender who she was. She slowly closed her eyes and dozed off..

Katara lay awake most of the night; she couldn't help but wonder why this person couldn't get out of her head. He had chased them across the world, captured them, and he recently tried to kill her. She should hate him more than anything, but he was the only thing on her mind. It was Zuko.

Two elements swirled around the massive cave. "I thought you had changed!" cried a furious waterbender as she viciously attacked someone across from her. The man paused for a moment, "I have changed.." he replied. Then long whips of fire escaped from his hands. The scene faded and a dark room emerged. She could see a young man with a scar silently walking around the palace room; he crept onto the balcony and rested his hands upon the railing. He looked deep in thought. "I'm sorry…if only you knew I didn't mean for him to get hurt. I needed her to think I was on her side, I'm sorry…" he desperately whispered into the sky. "I have changed…"

Katara awoke with a start and found herself sweating. She glanced at her surroundings and saw Toph over hear Appa's head where Aang was sleeping. She looked over and saw her brother snoring across from her. She lay back down and closed her ocean-blue eyes, thinking.

What was that all about? She wondered.

For some reason, she felt as though it wasn't even a dream. Little did she know, that really did happen the night before. Katara lay there, soaking up the silence.

Toph just sat there, she loved silence. She slowly pet Momo, he cuddled against her and she smiled. They would be arriving at the temple tonight; it was just smooth flying until then. The earthbender yawned and rested her head on Appa's warm, soft fur. She could hear Aang's steady breathing; Toph could tell he was healing.

Maybe he'll wake up today.. She thought.

Her thoughts were interrupted when a large yawn awoke Momo and Katara.

"G'Mornin Team Avatar! Tonight we get there.." Sokka trailed off. He glanced over at Toph and raised and eyebrow, "Toph? Why are you holding Aang's staff?" he asked her. Toph froze and threw the staff to the other side of her. "Uh…maybe cause it was in the way! Jeeze Sokka, I was just getting it out of my way.." Toph snapped as she crawled over to the middle of the saddle. She hoped that he didn't see her split second blush. "Katara?" Toph listened for Katara's breathing. "What is it Toph?" Katara yawned and stretched her arms out. "I was wondering…Twinkle Toes is gonna wake up soon right?" she asked. She pleaded for her to say yes, then she could stop worrying..
