Author's Note: Wow.. it's been forever since I've posted a story! I think I lost my muse to my other stories, half because I don't feel so depressed anymore. This story probably won't have a dark past like my others. This is my first Avatar: Last Airbender story, so please be kind.

I know there are a lot of stories where a teenage girl gets sucked into the Avatar World and blah bleh bleah. But I hope this is as good if not better. Enjoy!

Big gray eyes slowly fluttered open to the sun-lit room, and she groaned in an annoyed manner. She had blinds that covered the rather large window, yet somehow light managed to leak through and ruin her peaceful, Saturday's sleep.

Sitting up and stretching with a yawn, the young girl threw her legs over the edge of the bed and let her feet hit the soft, navy blue carpet. The almost sickly pale girl looked around her room, noting that it probably needed a good cleaning up. Defiantly wasn't looking forward to that.

Her walls were a creamy off white, though, you could hardly see the walls because posters covered almost every square inch. There were a lot of bands on the walls; Christian bands mostly. Casting Crowns, Newsboys, Jars of Clay, Third day, Switchfoot, Building 429, (one that not many people may know) and Heath Mcnease. She was a big Christian girl, had gone to church ever since she was born.

She smiled inwardly and literally danced out of her room. "Mooom!" she called happily, skipping into the kitchen. Turning her head to the side a little when she saw a green sticky note on the fridge, she walked over. It read:

"Isabella, I have to work late tonight. There is food in the fridge, and emergency numbers on this note. Love you, be good."

With a dead-pan look, the girl who was classified as Isabella shrugged and pulled off the sticky note and tossed it in the trash. She was used to it, and didn't actually mind it, she understood. With a smile, she ran to the couch and jumped over it, something her mother would get on to her about, and landed on the couch with crossed legs.

"Avatar!" she squealed, snatching up the remote and turning on the older TV. Turning the channels to Cartoon Network, seeing that she was just in time. "YES!" she wailed her arms in the air, and settled down. She had seen all the episodes, but she loved watching them over again.

She was glad she lived in the country. Otherwise, she would have neighbors banging on her door telling her to shut up. She grinned widely at that and leaned against the back of the couch. So she was a little obnoxious and loud at times. So what?

Almost to the end of the episode, Isabella cursed her old TV. There was a little blotch of white in the middle of the screen. "Noo, I want to watch the end!" She whined. "Stupid satellite! Should have stuck with cable." she pouted and walked over to the TV.

"Pleeease work! I'm begging yooou!" she poked the TV. Suddenly, Aang, Sokka, and Katara turn to screen and seemingly stared at her.

"Did you hear that?" Katara asked with a rather confused look. Neither boys answered. They walked closer.

Isabella's eyes widen. Wow, I haven't seen this one? They come out with new ones? But the episode was so familiar I.. she leaned closer to the screen and suddenly, a huge light flashed, making her clench her eyes shut, Suddenly, she found herself tangled in some bushes.

"Geh! The heck?" Attlee swung her fists at her, 'captors'. When she opened her eyes, she noted they were just sticks. "Oh... heh.." she climbed out and brushed debris off her shoulders. "That was... interesting.." she mumbled to herself.

"Who are you?" she heard an almost defensive voice question from behind her. It was a males voice, and she almost laughed. Wow, afraid of me? She grinned to herself and turned to look at the man, finding him frighteningly familiar. He was pointing a... boomerang at her.

"Ah.."

"Relax, Sokka, she doesn't look like she's here to hurt us." a familiar female said gently from beside him. He ignored her.

"What's your name? Are you apart of the Fire Nation?" he shook the boomerang at her. She arched an eyebrow.

"Take it easy, cupcake, I ain't here to fight `cha." Isabella waved him off, and he lowered his boomerang for a moment with a confused look.

"Cupcake..?" he asked himself, then cleared his throat and raised the boomerang again. "AHA! So you ARE part of the Fire Nation!"

"Whoa, Sokka. She doesn't exactly look like Fire Nation material." a sickly familiar bald boy with arrow tattoos said stepping out from behind Sokka. Isabella's jaw dropped.

"You have to be kidding me." she gawked, backing up. "This is a joke, isn't it? Or it's a dream, hang on." she reached down and pinched her arm, and yelped. "OW! Okay, either pinching doesn't work or this isn't a dream."

All three were giving her strange looks, and Sokka leaned over to Katara. Cupping his hand around his mouth, he kept his eyes on Isabella but muttered to Katara, "She's a little on the off side, isn't she?"

Offended, Isabella picked up a pebbled and flicked it at his head. "OW! What was that for?" he rubbed his head. "I need that you know!"

"Why? To store extra food?" Attlee stuck her tongue out at him, while he crossed his arms. He didn't answer.

"What's your name?" Katara asked kindly stepping closer to her. Isabella smiled, happy that Katara was as nice as she was made out to be in the series.

"My name's Isabella You can call me Bella," she replied with a huge smile, holding her hand out to Katara. Might as well play along... She thought. "What's yours?"

"I'm Katara, and this is-" she was cut off by Aang, who jumped in front of the girl and smiled just as big as Bella had.

"I'm Aang!" he said, making sure she had his full attention by grabbing her hand and shaking it. Bella would have laughed at this behavior, but it might have seemed rude, so she kept it in. She shook his hand back and looked behind Aang to see a rather annoyed looking Katara.

"And I'm Sokka." Sokka said, acting aloof. Of course, so Sokka. Bella thought.

"It's nice to meet you all." she giggled in spite of herself, and took her hand back. Katara moved out from Aang and looked her over.

"What Nation are you from? I don't recognize those clothes at all.." she said. Blinking, Bella looked down at herself. She was still wearing her pajamas, which was a pair of black cotton pants with penguins on them, and a tank top with a matching penguin on it.

"Ahh.." she chose not to tell them there was an actual show about them. They would think she was crazy! What Nation? "I'm... I'm from... a small island far from here." she lied quickly. "Yeah, it's really out of the way.. we aren't really part of a Nation..." Oh Jesus, they're not going to buy this.. she cursed to herself.

"Oh, what's it called?" Aang asked. "I know almost all the islands! We fly a lot!" Bella had an almost sheepish look, hoping they wouldn't notice.

"Umm... Hawaii...?"

"Hawaii? I don't think I know about that one..." Aang pursed his lips in thought.

"Right, you see... it's very small and isolated. I don't think it's even on a map!" feeling a little bit uncomfortable with her lie, she rubbed her left arm. "But, enough about me. What are you guys doing out here?" she asked.

"Well, we were just on our way to Ba Sing Sae." Katara answered.

"Wait, what were you doing fighting a bush?" Sokka asked in an almost amused way. Bella laughed a little at herself.

"It was attacking me!" she held her arms in the air and made her fingers look like claws. "Those things are EVIL!" all four of them laughed together, then Aang nudged her.

"Would you like to come along with us? I'm sure Appa could carry one more!" there was a hopeful look in his gray eyes, but Sokka took his shoulder and made him look at him.

"Aang, we just met her! You shouldn't be so quick to trust people you just meet. You could really get hurt like that." Sokka murmured quietly, trying to make it to where Bella couldn't hear. Though, the young girl did and looked down at the ground, slightly hurt by this.

"Oh, come on Sokka. I don't think she's even a bender!" Katara rolled her eyes, then looked at Bella. "Are you?" Bella looked up with a slightly lost look.

"I don't know," she replied honestly. She didn't know what she could do, even if this was a dream.

"You don't know?" Aang repeated after her, and she nodded.

"No, I mean, I've never tried anything." she said with a shrug. The three exchanged glances.

"Well, why haven't you?" Sokka asked her. Attlee pushed her long, dark brown hair out of her face and shrugged again.

"Dunno, guess I've never really thought about it," Because where I come from you guys aren't even real. She added mentally.

"Well, why don't you try?" Aang smiled assuringly, and Bella couldn't help but smile back a little.

"Yeah, I'm sure it couldn't hurt anything." Katara agreed. But Bella looked hesitant.

"But what if I lose control of it? I could hurt you guys..." she said in a much lower tone. Bella looked down at her bare feet.

"Don't worry, if you lose control of it then Aang can protect us; he's the Avatar." Katara stated in a rather proud voice. Bella gave him a fake surprised look, which obviously looked real.

"You are?" she then smiled and put her hands together. "Wow.."

"Yeah," he rubbed the back of his head slightly blushing. Bella remembered how he didn't like to announce it much, and nodded.

"My father would have loved to meet you," she said, truthfully. Her father had been a big fan of Avatar, he was the one to get her so crazy about it. Bella looked away, a pained look on her face.

"Would have?" Sokka repeated, but in a softer tone.

"Where are your parents?" Katara asked after, and Aang's smiled and blush faded quickly.

"I... can tell you where they're not." Bella then smiled to get off the subject. "But don't worry about it, it's fine."

The three friends exchanged concerned looks, and there was a period of uncomfortable silence. Aang, of course, was the one to break it. "So, you ready to see if you can bend?" he asked cheerfully.

Nodding hesitantly, Bella took a step away from them just to be safe. Don't want to harm my heroes. Bella mused to herself, very curious as to what she could do. Automatically, she excluded air bending, because Aang was supposed to be the last air bender. It was the name of the show, after all.

Katara held her water-pack upright and took off the cap. "Okay, try to pull the water out of this pouch." she instructed Bella. Looking at Katara's pouch, she concentrated, lift her hands up and pictured the water lifting out of the pouch. Sadly, nothing happened.

"Well, I guess you aren't a water-bender." Katara commented putting the cap back on after a couple minutes Bella's attempts. Bella sighed and looked down. Oh, she hoped she wasn't a fire bender. They wouldn't trust her, would they?

"Okay," Sokka picked up the pebble that Bella had previously thrown at him. "try to pick up this pebble."

"And hopefully hit you in the head again," Bella teased while he mumbled, rubbing the spot again. Bella turned to the pebble and took a deep breath, then lifted her hands and picture the pebble lifting itself into the air. Again, nothing happened.

"Not a earth bender, either." Sokka said, now eying her warily, though, Aang and Katara didn't look the least bit worried that she might be a fire bender.

"Alright then," Aang said, still smiling at her. "Think of something.. umm.. really upsetting or angering, and see if you palms get really hot.

Doing as instructed, Bella thought of the day her father died. He had been hit by a drunk driver. She clenched her fists, fighting off tears. Aang walked over and took her hand, and she unclenched it for him. After a tense moment, Aang shook his head.

"Nothing."

In a way, she was relieved. But she was sad she didn't have any special abilities. Aang put a hand on her shoulder. "There is only one left." he told her, and it looked like he had some sort of hope.

"Aang, she couldn't be. There aren't any left; only you." Sokka said in a bored and discouraging tone, probably not caring at all.

"But it wouldn't hurt to try." Aang said with sudden sharpness in his tone. Sokka lifted his arms in a defensive way.

"Okay, okay! Whatever floats your boat, Aang." Sokka said quickly. Aang turned back to him and smiled a little.

"Just do what I do," he told Bella, and turned to face their left. He held his palms away from him, and twisted his wrists and moved the around gracefully, then pushed forward. A tuft of air blew forward, uplifting some dust. When it stopped, he look back to watch her.

Bella didn't think she could be an air bender, but sighed and nodded. At least it would make Aang happy. She copied the movements she had seen Aang do, and pushed her arms forward a little harder than Aang had.
