Katara's Journal

Day One

Aang… What's Up with Him?

Ugh… Today is Aang's first waterbending lesson with me. I can't TAKE him so far! He's so…How do I put this…. Hmm….Oh! He's being so immature. I mean, seriously. Stop acting like you're always the best here! Even though you're the Avatar, your airbending is SERIOUSLY bad. You couldn't escape from Zuko's ship back at the Southern Water Tribe! We had to go in and save you ourselves!

I know it's not like me to be so harsh, but he's the Avatar, and I expect a bit more effort from him. Didn't Monk Gyatso teach him well? How come he has his arrows in the first place?

Well, maybe all those years in that iceberg got rid of some brain cells and he lost a few IQ points… Whatever happened, I hope he learns quickly, because we can't beat the Fire Lord without a fully-realized Avatar.

- 5 DAYS AGO: -

-SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE-

"AAAH, AAAAAH, AAAAAA -CHOOOOOOOOOO!"

The young airbender flew up about 5 feet in the air, then landed flat on his backside, groaning as he got up.

"I… I'm Aang." He said, rubbing his bottom and his nose at the same time.

"I'm Katara," The waterbender said, a little hesitant. "This is my brother, Sokka."

"Hi, nice to meet ya," The sarcastic, meat loving teen said, although he was skeptical, he couldn't help but stifle a snicker.

"Hi, Sokka and Katara," Aang said, still rubbing his butt and sniffling, and oblivious to Sokka's snicker. "Oh! I almost forgot about Appa!" He remembered, jumping back to where he was released from the iceberg.

"Appa! Are you ok, buddy?" The huge sky bison groaned in agreement. Aang went over and grabbed his upper lip. "Come on, Appa, we gotta get moving." Aang was lifting up his lip and trying to get him to move, when the beast licked him. "Hey," The bad airbender said.

Aang suddenly remembered his two newfound friends, and turned to them as they slid down the slope.

"This is my flying bison, Appa," He said, eager for them to meet his animal friend.

"Yeah, and this is Katara, my flying sister," Sokka retorted. Katara nudged him.

"Really? She can fly too?" Aang asked, being very gullible for some reason. Sokka and Katara raised an eyebrow to Aang's apparent stupidity.

"Aang, have you…Um…You know what? Never mind,"

The Avatar looked around, while Sokka thought of how to get back to their village, seeing as they were stranded.

"Hey, I can give you guys a ride home, if you like," Aang happily said, noticing Sokka's concerned face, and realizing that they were stranded, and they probably wanted to go home.

"Ok," Katara said.
