BTW I only own what you don't recognize. Just FYI

And I'm only sayign this once so remember it.

"Come on." Katara smiled at Sokka from atop a ledge on the side of the mountain that Aang was currently trying to reach the top of. He was half way up the mountain side and kept looking down to make sure the others were following, "It's not that hard."

He huffed and glared up at her. But after a moment he continued to climb. Katara smiled as he passed her and followed slower. She looked behind her and gazed in awe at the treetops that surrounded her. The birds flitted through the leaves of all different greens. It was dark on this side of the mountain because the sun set on the other side. She heard a river down below and Sokka struggling with his boomerang above. Looking up again she spotted Aang looking down at her from the top, his bald head poking over the side.

"Come on Guys!" He shouted his voice carrying, "You have to see this!"

"We're coming Aang!" Katara shouted climbing faster as Sokka grabbed her hand pulling her up several feet.

"Remind me again why we keep letting him," He sighed his bright blue eyes glinting, "tell us what to do?"

"Because he's about a hundred years older?" Katara asked with a grin making it to the edge a few moments later and feeling Aang's cold thin hand close around hers helping her up the rest of the way.

"Close your eyes." He held a hand over her eyes as he pulled her up his voice full of excitement. "Sokka close your eyes too."

"I'm still climbing!" He shouted back and Katara giggled at her big brother. Aang took her to a spot and told her to wait with her eyes closed as he got Sokka with a convenient boost of air behind him.

He flew up and over landing with a thud next to his sister.

"You ready?" He asked excited beyond words.

"Would you just let us see?" Katara asked laughter in her voice. This was followed by silence as Aang looked to the edge of the forest surrounding the mountain.

"Open your eyes." He shouted and they did.

The Sun set disappearing below the horizon and bathing everything in shadow in mere seconds.

"It's beautiful." Katara gaped and Aang smiled reaching up and putting his arms around both of his companion's shoulders.

"I came here with the Monks on my tenth birthday." He stated proudly smiling broadly but his smiling falling when he remembered that they were dead.

"It's really cool Aang." Sokka noticed the sadness in the young boy and wrapped his arms around his shoulders as well. "But one thing."

"Yeah?" He turned his head looking at the older boy.

"You're too short to be doing this" Sokka mocked bending his knees to become his height. Katara laughed and then detached from the group as Sokka wrestled with the Young Avatar. She looked up as Appa, Aang's flying bison, flew in and landed on the mountain top.

"Okay guys." Katara clapped to get the boys attention, "I think we should start a fire and get to bed."

"Probably a good idea." Aang nodded and bowed to Sokka who bowed back hands pressed together in front of his chest. They ate and Katara went to sleep first turning her back to the fire and the boys. Sokka followed suit and Aang watched them sleep for a bit until closing his eyes and getting sucked into a dream himself.

"Aang!" a voice shouted playfully, "Come on wake up little boy!"

Aang jolted awake and sat up groggy as if he hadn't slept at all.

"There he is!" the female voice laughed, "Well good morning."

"What's going on?" He asked rubbing his eyes and looking around him. He was sitting on the floor of a room with three walls on the top floor of a house. The walls were a light green and the floor was covered in hay. Looking around he saw a small figure in the corner giggling. He shot to his feet reaching for his Staff. It wasn't there causing the girl to laugh harder.

"Who are you?" Aang asked trying to sound threatening. A girl around seven stepped out of the shadows and grinned, her long dark brown hair pulled back into a low ponytail her grey eyes bright and dark like storm clouds. Her skin was pale and a mark was seen just above the seam of her left sleeve. It looked like the three swirls of the Airbenders but the lines were too hidden for him to be sure.

"You know me." she stated smiling. Her tunic was light yellow with red pants underneath. A thin leather belt wrapped around her waist no shoes on her feet.

"How?" He asked glaring down at her.

"It doesn't matter, Yang." She stated happily and the name struck something inside him releasing a memory. Him playing in a room when he was little with this girl.

"Okay then how do you know me?" Aang tried to pry an answer out of her and she just sighed.

"It's been a long time." she sighed and the light went out in the room.

Aang looked out the open wall and watched as the moon went through the sky and then the sun until it came to a rest as the moon stopped half way through the sky. He turned back to her as the lamps flickered on and gasped staggering back. She had aged to his age looking exactly the same except about his height and her hair was longer a small silver band wrapped around the base of her ponytail. The mark on her wrist was more visible but it was a dark shape through the fabric that now covered most of her hands.

"Who are you?" He gasped stumbling into a barrel. She just smiled sadly and sighed.

"Aang." She whispered his name and another memory came to him. Him running through the halls this girl chasing him laughing and calling his name, "Little Avatar. I'm waiting. Come and find me."

"How?" He asked intrigued to a point where his common sense disappeared.

"I'll meet you half way." She smiled and came to his side her gray eyes swirling around her pupil like actual clouds. She gently kissed his cheek and smiled tapping the mark on his head. "See you around."

With that the candles blew out and she disappeared in a wisp of smoke.

Aang shot up gasping for breath and looking around frantically. Katara gave him a look with a raised eyebrow and he waved her off.

"You okay Aang?" Sokka asked packing all their things onto Appa.

"I'm fine." He nodded jumping up and smiling, "Let's go. We have to move fast if we want to make it to Omashu before nightfall."

"Yeah we do." Sokka nodded and jumped on. Katara rolled her eyes eyeing Aang suspiciously before getting on herself. They took off in silence as Aang was still thinking about his dream.

"Okay I had the weirdest dream last night." Sokka broke the silence as he always did. "I was in this gigantic tree that kept walking into this field. I was trying to get down but it wouldn't let me until Aang came and…"

"Shut up Sokka." Katara rolled her eyes and Sokka huffed leaning back against the edge of the saddle.

And falling over board through the clouds and out of sight.
