Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

Here we were after the long one hundred year war had finally ended.

The Avatar wasn't the last airbender, and I made it my mission to find him and study airbending under him.

It was truly a transitional time in the world.

And we were all ready to push it ahead.

Chapter 1: Hidden Fires

Another calm normal day of travel and relaxation, while helping see the beginning of the recovery process post war for a world slowly entering a time of peace after such a long period of war for the team of young heroes, with the hundred year war moving more and more into the rearview and reconstruction on the horizon we find the gang riding on top of their trusted air bison friend, Appa, once again.

On top of the large flying bison, they traveled and traveled between the towns, villages, cities, and almost everything in between, as they looked, oversaw, and helped the world put itself back together along with it's citizens; along with joining in on the celebrations that seemed to follow the group everywhere they seemed to go after the war.

"Aang we could really use a break, I mean the war ended a couple months ago; we shouldn't have to keep traveling like this," Sokka complained to the young avatar while he, Toph, and Katara were sitting on the saddle of the flying sky bison with the Airbender manning the bison's reins,"All in favor of a break."

"Yeah Twinkle Toes he's right," Toph began, her voice straining to suppress a laugh as she cut off the young water tribe warrior before he got to begin one of his rants about how his ideas being ignored and underrated,"And that's pretty rare from him."

Aang turned to the group, smiling back at his group of friends,"You're right Sokka," Aang announced to a proud Sokka before rubbing the back of his neck in a unsure fashion,"But where should we go?"

"We should have a get together," Katara quickly added finally adding her input to her brother's idea, looking around the group waiting for agreeing expressions to dawn upon them,"With the all the others, it's been forever since we've all seen each other and we haven't really had a chance to truly just relax yet and this would be the perfect reason to do just that."

"Yeah I like the sound of that," Toph started with an excitement coming across her,"It'd be fun and ole Toph could use some nice down time, all this flying is driving me crazy."

"But where is the question," Sokka added in philosophical way stroking his chin as if he was still wearing his old fake beard,"This is way more than a simple break, if we're going to do it we got to do it right."

"Well," Katara began going into thought,"What about Zuko's royal palace in the Fire Nation?"

"That's a little too far for everyone little sis," Sokka replied with a smirk ready to reveal his latest self proclaimed great idea,"But don't worry, as always I have an idea."

"What is it Sokka?" Aang asked still trying to rack up an idea on his own,"You seem to be on a roll right now."

"Kyoshi Island!" Sokka yelled to the rest of Team Avatar,"We happen to know a nice group of people who run an inn incase you guys forgot."

"Then it's set" Katara smiled at her brother's almost out of character logical thinking,"I'll write everyone and let them know!"

"Next stop Kyoshi Island," Aang and Toph said at the same time, earning a laugh from the two water tribe siblings and earning a grunt of agreement from the flying bison.

That night on the way to Kyoshi Island

"Hey Sokka can I ask you something?" the young Avatar asked as he sat bending the clouds around them to pass time,"What ever happened with you and Suki?"

"We broke up," Sokka replied shortly and quickly as he looked out into the dark night sky.

"Well why?" Aang asked looking over to his friend, he knew he wasn't good at talking about these type of things but he felt it was the right thing to ask Sokka at the moment.

Sokka slowly turned his head towards Aang before sighing,"Because we never really get to see each other anymore, it's kind of complicated Aang," he turned his head back to the open night sky before continuing,"And it wouldn't matter anyway, I already moved on I hope she did too," Sokka finished with an almost pouting expression visible on his face.

Aang being not really sure on how to keep the conversation flowing just shrugged his shoulders and stared into the swirling clouds motions as he gave his wrist a slight twirling motion, it reminded him of live before the war and how easy going and how much fun he had with other airbenders, but reminiscing was cut short as Sokka started speaking again,"I don't know this vacation might help to be honest," Sokka said with a tone of hope,"It could bring us together and I miss having everyone around."

"Yeah it should be really fun," Aang said giving a reassuring smile as he broke from his thoughts somewhat glad Sokka was the one to keep the talk going.

"Aang you should know by now when I'm around fun is never ending," Sokka replied flashing a grateful grin before yawning and laying back down to sleep.

Aang only laughed as he turned back to facing in the same direction as Appa as the bison continued the flight to Kyoshi Island. Aang then decided he would join the others soon as he started yawning saying a quick goodnight to his old friend Appa before closing his eyes.

The next morning upon arrival on Kyoshi Island

After a long night of flying Appa landed on a large flat open field of grass on the Earth Kingdom island and let out a loud half roar half yawn to awaken the passengers he carried throughout the night. One by one they got off, Sokka being the last rider off of the bison ended up getting somewhat tossed off by Appa's slight shaking to hurry them up. The flying bison was ready to eat and sleep, two of it's favorite things to do.

The gang quickly went about their morning duties and gathered their things after everyone was done so they could make their way to the inn and get situated.

"Appa you and Momo can stay here and hang out, this field has a lot of things for you two to eat so be good ok," Aang directed to the two getting a roar from Appa and some chattering sounds from Momo,"We're just going to the inn go there when you guys are done."

"Alright let's get going!" Katara announced as she had the letters in hand for everyone ready to be sent out on the way to meet up with Suki and the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors.

The group walked into town browsing rather slowly taking everything in, stopping at almost every little shop and food cart as Katara sent out all of the letters she wrote to their friends not on the island, they then headed to the inn the Kyoshi Warriors ran that they opened after the war to stay busy without the constant threat of danger.

"There it is!" Aang said with an obvious excitement in his voice, pointing at the wooden inn in the near distance.

"Wow it's pretty big," Toph said surprised feeling the Inn threw the ground,"Kyoshi Warriors must really have a lot of free time with there being no war now."

The group continued towards the inn, reaching the door with Katara, Toph, Aang, and Sokka in line as they began to enter.

"Katara? Toph? Aang?" Suki gasped as she saw the three enter, looking up from behind the counter she was sitting at, followed slowly by a fourth,"Sokka?"
