1: The Skate Park

"Yeah, Air Man!"

Aang zipped across the half pipe again. Onlookers watched in awe at him as he was gliding through the air as if he were flying. He had just moved to Hawaii and man was he loving it. Aang and his uncle Gyatso were always traveling and so the news of the move wasn't a surprise, actually when he found out he was going to Hawaii he was stoked.

"Sweet air!" A guy had stated as he came over to meet the awesome skater in the flesh.

"Thanks," Aang said.

"I'm Sokka. You new?"

"Yeah, just moved into a beach house downtown."

"Really? What's the house number?"

"100."

"We're 101! Looks like we're neighbors."

"Awesome. Wait, WE're 101?"

"Yeah me and my sister."

Sokka pointed over his shoulder and when Aang saw her, his jaw hit the pavement. She was the most stunning girl he had ever seen. Her mocha skin glistened in the sunlight and the wind gently blew through her chocolate locks. But what he noticed the most were her eyes as blue as the sea.

"I'll introduce you guys. Come on."

The boys jumped on their boards and road over to her. She was sitting on a bench staring at the ocean. Aang was all too eager and when they got there he was so entranced that he forgot to stop. CRASH, right into a bush. Great first impression.

"Nice to know you've fallen for my sister." Sokka joked.

Aang blushed as he pulled himself out of the shrubbery. He looked up and saw Katara giggling. She picked up the board.

"Cool skateboard," she stated.

"Thanks"

It was black with a blue arrow running from tail to nose and glow-in-the-dark wheels. Gyatso had given it to him for his twelfth birthday. Now four years later they were inseparable.

"Do you ride," he asked as she handed it to him, their hands brushing.

"Not a skateboard. A surfboard is more my speed."

"That sounds like fun."

"Well, maybe we could surf together sometime." She said with a blush.

He noticed and gave her a warm smile.

"I'd love too. How about tomorrow."

"Perfect. Oh, I'm so stupid we haven't even officially met. I'm Katara."

"Aang. Your brother says you guys live in the house at 101 and I live at 100, so I guys we'll be seeing a lot of each other…neighbor."

Her face lit up.

"Great! We can give you a ride home if you want."

"Sure."

"Do I even exist!" Sokka was more than offended by totally being excluded from the conversation.

"Great, my sister just stole my new friend."
