This is a story of insanity and tragedy. We all know Aang is a good guy, but in this I portray him as the bad one. The Aang we see in this is totally out of character, but only because insanity can create a totally different person. Azula, for example, I don't think was totally sane. However, she was calm and collected until her two best friends betrayed her. You can see she was starting to lose her mind while hunting the Avatar. I believe Azula blamed the Avatar and her brother for everything that has gone in her life. That might be why she was so hell-bent on revenge. Like Azula, Aang has lost it. He lost his most prized possession. His 'forever girl.' When he finally sees his first person in 6 long and agonizing years, he can't do it. He is insane. Torture, infatuation, and tragedy rolled into one story. This is rated M for a reason. Please don't read this unless you're 17 or older. And bam. There's my excuse for writing the story. I dunno. When I though about it, I was in geometry thinking of what would happen if Aang became the bad guy. I find that it's really easy to write about angst and lost love, since my love life is pretty pathetic. But anyway, I hope this story turns out well… I didn't plan it as much.

Disclaimer: I don't own ATLA for ANY of my stories. Do you know what I would do if I did? I'd have Toph be in there more because she is underused. I'd have Sukka, Taang, and Zutara… and a whole bunch of other stubff… it wouldn't have ended yet… and if I did own ATLA… well, let's just say I'd be SO much better at drawing.

It's been so long since I've seen the guy. Ever since Sugar Queen dumped him, he hadn't been the same person we all knew. Actually, we didn't know the person at all he became after he was dumped. All I know is that Sugar Queen told him that she loved Sparks, and BAM! The next day, he's gone. We can't find him. We've tried June, but even her shirishu can't find him. It's like she said on the day of Sozin's Comet- he just disappeared from the face of the earth. It's not only that, but people are starting to think that he died and that he's never coming back. I miss my best friend. I used to stay up all night talking to him and giving advice to one another. Not only that, I seriously have got no place to go. I mean, I stay at Sparky's palace, but ever since he and Sugar Queen eloped, I can't escape the moans and groans at night. You would think they would be quieter. But nooooo, the whole entire palace shakes during their "friendly nights." Not only that, they have children. One is three years old and the other is two. And they cry. They cry and cry and cry. That is exactly why I'm not getting married or having children. I cannot stand this. I have to try to find Aang. I need to get away from this place.

He sat in the dark. Pining over lost love, he wished to gain revenge on the person who stole his lover's heart. He shook his head wildly. His dark hair flipped as he turned and twisted. He hadn't shaved his head since a year ago and it had grown quite long. Rasping gasps escaped his lips as he sat and hugged his knees. He mourned over the past events. How long was it since he had seen his lover? He can't remember. All he remembers is rejection. He loved her so much and she betrayed him! Betrayed! He scoffed and screamed. He knew no one could hear him. He knew no one could find him. Not even that scruffy shirishu could find him. He smiled wearily. His once bright eyes were dull and tired. All this time- had it been 10 years? He still can't remember. His mind wanders, skipping from subject to subject. He remembers that stupid water tribe boy he used to travel with. He remembers that beautiful blue-eyed girl that was formerly his lover. He scowled at the thought. He remembers that blind girl that was his friend. He remembers the guy with the scar- wait. Was that the guy who stole his lover's heart? He clenched his fist tightly and pursed his lips. Hate. That's all he felt. Someday, he would come out of his hiding hole and kill the man. But first, he had to learn more about his abilities. That was a bit of a problem though. He could not get through into the spirit world and he did not know why. He faintly remembers first coming to the abandoned temple and talking to Roku. Roku's head shook side to side as he watched the young Avatar scream madly and shake. Roku watched as the 15 year old cried and vowed to get revenge on the fire nation boy who stole his lover's heart.

Finally, Roku shouted and stated in his grave voice, "Aang, you will be cut off. You have grown insane. You will be alone for the rest of your life and we will try to keep it like that. You have let earthly possessions get in the way of watching over the world. You are done for. Good bye, Aang."

The normally happy man ended his monologue with a cold tone. He knew this would happen. The prophecy was starting to become reality. All the spirits had worked hard to keep this from happening. That is- except for one. Koh. He scowled and knew this would turn in the centipede's favor. He prayed to Fate that it would not. The young maiden did not deserve the suffering. He did not know why Fate liked to see innocents suffer. Maybe he was being a little too judgmental, but the way he saw it, the goddess Fate was cruel. Maybe Aang had disappeared for one hundred years. Maybe he had gone insane. When he thought about it, it really was not Aang's fault. It was simply destiny. Aang could not fight it. It was simply what it was.

Katara smiled- thinking of what life has brought her. 2 children, one amazing husband, a beautiful home, family, clothes, great friends- and then she stopped her list. Aang. She wondered what happened to him. Every time she thought of him, a pang of guilt hit her stomach. If only she had fallen in love with him, then things would be different. But he was so… immature at the time. Sure, he was going to mature later on, but as a 15 year old, she need a real man, not some air-scootering boy. Although she missed him deeply and felt responsible for him leaving, she did not regret telling him she loved Zuko. She knew it was better to tell him than it was for him to catch them in the act. Besides, she did want a man that could handle heartbreak- Zuko showed he could handle things better than Aang when Mai showed she could not do commitment. Of course, Toph had told her not to pick up a man's broken heart because that usually ended in a broken heart for you. But she didn't listen to Toph's advice and look where it got her. She has 2 amazing children and one hot hubby (pun intended). Katara knew she had just got lucky though. It didn't happen like that for a lot of people so she was thankful to the spirits for letting her have such an amazing life. That is- minus the 'Aang is missing because of me' part.

She's gone! Where is she? Where could that little twerp be? She wasn't at dinner and she never misses dinner! Zuko flipped through the thoughts in his head as he walked quickly down the hallway. He hadn't told Katara that she was missing yet, but he knew he should. He searched everywhere except for his bedroom, although he was wondering why she would be in his bedroom in the first place. One last place, he told himself. If she's not there, I'll tell Katara. He approached his bedroom and opened the door. He knew it. She wasn't there. But something was different about the room… and so he saw. The white paper laid out on his desk with an ink pen next to it. He looked at it oddly and approached it carefully. He stared at the letter and went directly to the bottom.

Sincerely,

TOPH

There we go! The first chapter of Insane! I'm hoping for this to be the best I've ever done so review, review, and review so I can get better at this! I'm working on The Way I Loved You also, so I'll alternate chapters and maybe throw in a couple oneshots. I've learned from my previous reviews about going too fast and grammar mistakes so I'm trying to slow down and review the work before I post. The next chapter shows Toph's letter and is also mainly centered on her traveling to find Aang. She took the sky bison also… what's going to happen? I'm really excited to find out! That is… when I come up with it. So… review because I need it… it makes me happy to check my email and find a fanfiction review has found its way into my email. By the way, if you want to email me about anything like requests and whatnot… email me at . Thanks so much, guys!
