Chapter One

The sun rose silently over the gently rolling hills. Appa yawned loudly, waking the kids. "Appa, come on!" Aang whined sleepily. "Its only sun-up... can't we sleep a little longer?"

Appa pawed at the grass, stretched, and gladly fell back asleep. Toph, who had barely woken up to begin with, rolled over in her earth tent and snored softly. Sokka never woke up, but turned onto his side in his sleeping bag and continued dreaming sweet dreams of things that only Sokka could think of. Katara, on the other hand, lay awake on the sweet smelling grass looking at the gently blushing clouds. So many thoughts swirled through her mind that a migraine had been on the verge of forming for hours. She had woken with a start at about midnight, due to a terrible nightmare. She shuddered at the thought of it.

Suddenly, she had the strangest urge to water bend. Katara picked herself up off the ground and walked to the top of the hill that Appa had been sleeping on. She silently looked over her shoulder at Aang, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko. They all appeared to be sound asleep, so she continued over the hill to the small, muddy creek that flowed slowly across the land.

With barely any effort she waterbended a small amount of clear water out of the creek and waved it over her head. Half heartedly, she threw the water at a giant sycamore tree, scattering a flock of Parrot-Canaries. "Katara?" A voice said.

She turned to look at the tall, thin firebender standing behind her. Recollecting her dream she crossed her arms and scowled, "What do you want?"

"I know how it feels, not being able to bend, I've known ever since the eclipse." Zuko started.

"I can BEND just fine!" Katara exclaimed, turning her head sharply toward him.

Zuko shook his head. "Thats not what I meant. Your a great bender- but I know a place where there is more water... actually its a waterfall and I-" nerves knotted his stomach. "I could show you where it is if – you- you-would want- "

Katara rolled her eyes. "Stop it!" she yelled annoyed. "I'll go with you if you just shut up!"
