My friend, the Avatar
Chapter 1
Before Aang was told his destiny of being the next Avatar, he lived a normal life. Well, normal as in living in a world of benders who had amazing powers. Yet, not everyone had the gift to bend. In the Southern Air Temple, Aang's home, there lived many nomads who were air benders. Yet, a certain boy named Jamako was one of the non-benders. He was however Aang's best friend.
"Come on Jamako I want to take a look at the bison again." Aang said. "They are so cool looking an humongous!"
"Aang you know we aren't suppose to see them without proper supervision." Jamako said with a worried look.
Compared to Aang, Jamako was a worrywart. He was always advising Aang to be careful or not to do reckless things. Aang usually listened but when he didn't Jamako would do anything to bail him out. They were like brothers.
"Come on Jamako, whats the worst that could happen?" Aang stated.
"Let's see, we could accidentally make one of those huge beast wake up and eat us or make them fly off the mountain and we fall and DIE!" Jamako said with slight anger at Aang's curiosity. Yet, while he spoke, Aang moved to the big cage that held the bison. The bison always went in there when they slept.
"You never learn!" Jamako shouted as he ran to catch up. He then stood next to his friend.
"I'll learn to be cautious when you learn to lighten up." Aang said with a smirk knowing that these traits couldn't change.
"Ha ha very funny, you know that it is impossible for that to happen." Jamako remarked.
They soon were in the cage staring at the bison. Both had names for the bison in their subconscious.
"What will you name your bison when you get one?" Aang asked. Jamako had a name but was fearful of saying it. He then realized that Aang would never make fun of him.
"I would name my bison, Appa." He finally replied.
"Appa that's a funny name that is remarkably cool." Aang replied.
"Well what would you name your bison when you get one?" Jamako asked.
"I would name him Lee!" replied Aang with a punch in the air.
"Wow what a common name." Jamako said, "I would expect something different from you."
"Well, I want my bison to fit in, so giving him a common name will do just that." Both boys laughed and walked out the cage. Soon however they were greeted by Monk Gyatso who waited for them in the hallway. Both boys put their shirts over their heads but their shirts were air-bended off.
"Boys, what are you doing here?" he asked. "You know you shouldn't be here without supervision." Jamako then gave him a look that said I told you so.
"Well, we were looking for you to tell you that I need another training session." Aang replied with a smile. Knowing he was lying, Gyatso gave a hand gesture that motioned Aang to follow him.
"Jamako, you are welcome to come along if you desire." Jamako nodded and went with Gyatso and Aang.
