Ok so I know I am suppose to be on hiatus but I just finished a really sad story and I need some Avatar goodness, that or chocolate. Any way, while I was writing Unfinished Business (not a fan fiction but I may put it on deviant) I thought of a cool Alternate Universe story for Avatar. I know a lot of people are doing them and normally they don't appeal to me and this idea isn't 100 new but what the hell. So this story takes place in the world of Avatar but meshed with our modern times except no TV or internet and a lot of influence from Harry Potter. I will warn you though that this may contain some adult situations later on but no porn here. I'm tasteful. By the way the ages are as follows Katara: 17, Sokka: 18, Zuko: 19, Aang: 17, Toph: 17.Ok on to the short intro before I return to my hiatus of blah.
Katara fretted over her suit case. In her hand she held a detailed list of everything she wanted to bring. Twelve shirts, check. Twenty pairs of socks, check. She went down the list one by one checking off each item as she counted them off into her suit case. Sokka appeared at her door way and leaned against the frame. He was highly amused by Katara's OCD. It never failed to entertain him watching her go insane perfecting every last detail. Katara was so immersed in her packing that she didn't notice Sokka's presence until Sahkyo push him inside Katara's room as she passed him.
"Hey watch it." Sokka growled at his twin. Sahkyo didn't even turn around as she continued down the hall pulling her luggage behind her. Katara glared at Sokka for interrupting her.
"Are you even packed Sokka?" Katara asked picking up a pair of jeans and placing them neatly into her suit case. Sokka made a noise with his lips while smacking the air.
"Of course I'm packed. I've got my toothbrush, my boomerang, some extra hair bands, and of my flute so I woo the ladies." Sokka said dropping his tone two octaves. Katara rolled her eyes as she continued her process. Sahkyo arrived behind Sokka a second later. She too rolled her eyes having caught Sokka's packing list.
"What about clothes?" Sahkyo asked knowing that he hadn't even thought of something so crucial. Sokka paled and rushed out the room leaving his sisters laughing in his wake. Sahkyo walked up to Katara and started fiddling with her long braid and hair loops. "Katara you would look pretty if you wore your hair down." Katara ignored her sister's comment as she finished her packing. "Maybe if you did you'd meet a boy at Hei Bai." Katara blushed at the thought of meeting a boy from one of the other nations.
"No I don't have time for boys. I'm going to school for bending not boys." Katara reminded her sister. Sahkyo shook her head as Katara zipped up her suit case.
"I don't know, Katara. I think your going to change your mind when you see these guys." Sahkyo sang as she left the room. Katara sighed heavily wondering why she had been blessed with such odd siblings. She looked in the mirror and for a second considered what Sahkyo had said but gave up the thought by sticking out her tongue. Katara picked up the letter on her dresser and read over it again.
