The Fire Nation School.

A/N: So I got inspired by this episode of Avatar and well…Just had to write something about it. Not really sure how long it will be. Inspired by "The Headband." Please review and I hope you enjoy! ( Kataang forever baby! ) Oh well he's a flirt so I will try to fit that in.

"Hey Kuzon wait up!"
The school day had just ended and Aang was trying to slip out quietly without being noticed. He slightly cringed as the girl's voice he recognized as On Ji approach him from behind. Aang didn't want to be rude so he reluctantly turned around and replied, "Oh hey On Ji!" He brought his arm up to wave but faltered when he noticed On Ji's 'boyfriend.'

She was getting closer with every step and her boyfriend jogged to catch up with her. They reached Aang at the same time, but she didn't notice him until his arm was wrapped around her waist. Her smile faded as the bully stared down 'Kuzon.' "So," He said, "Look what we have here, talking to my On Ji again Kuzon?"

Aang just arched an eyebrow at him in confusion, which only seemed to fuel his anger. A scowl quickly formed on the firebender's face as he shouted, "You better watch it Looseon," Adding additional emphasas on the loose and leaning back, his head with a tilt in Aang's direction.

A signal Aang thought, how much crazier could this guy get? Just on cue two boys, similar to Hyde in stature appeared behind him and a captured On Ji. She could feel the blood drain from her face, "Oh no." She whispered as she stared down the three boys.

"Time to knock some sense into you." Hide stated Aang just stood there baffled. "You're kidding, right?" He asked. "You're not seriously trying this again?" Hide scoffed in Aang's direction and to his surprise, the boy he knew as Kuzon casually turned and started walking away. Hyde could literally feel the anger rising up inside of him, who dose this kid think he is? He felt like steam was being ejected from his ears, which it probably was being a firebender and all.

Without thinking he quickly took a stance and punched an amature fireball at the back of Kuzon's head. Aang, being used to dodging when hearing fire and with superior skills dodged it with ease sliding to his left, he almost let a wave of wind blow Hide on his butt, his resisted the urge. The two boys charged towards Aang at a speed that must have been considered fast for them. "You'll regret not getting charred by the fireball Looseon!" Said the slightly larger boy, compared to the rest of them he looked like he could just sit on Aang and crush him to death.

They both tried two head shots with their meaty fists, but Aang quickly avoided the collision by ducking and sliding in between them. He landed beside them, and as he continued to dodge Hyde joined in. Usually he just punched or tried to kick Aang with the occasional weak flame warped around his fists. The additional boy was not to hinder Aang in the slightest he could take on many fully fledged firebenders at once two kids and one wannabe bender hardly made the list. Of course, they didn't know that.

Not even a minuet had passed before the boy on his right attempted to bash Aang in the face, followed by a kick from the other boy no longer than a few seconds apart. Aang let the punch come but simply swatted the boy's hand away and did a low back flip, as to avoid a fireball to the gut from Hyde.

The boy who was trying to kick was too slow for Aang's dodge and proceeded to stomp his partner's face in. In the confusion Hyde tripped over the kicker's earth bound food and kissed the floor followed by his last remaining ally who not only fell, but with his grounded leg stuck on his leader twisted into a painful split as his outstretched leg came down.

On Ji just stood there feet and legs snapped tight together, both of her hands gripped the strap of her over the shoulder bag with white knuckles. By this time a crowd of students had gathered, giggling at the fallen bullies. On Ji's mouth retracted from the shock and turned into a small smile, an obvious blush tinted her cheeks.

"See you tomorrow!" Kuzon said cheerily and waved in her direction. "B-Bye." She mumbled barley audible, she didn't move from her spot. He's so light on his feet she thought, and again he kicked their butts without even touching them. What's you're secrete Kuzon..?

"A secrete dance party!" The gang stared at Aang, all except for toph who was using her pinkie as a q-tip. "Why would you possibly want to throw a party for a country full of deprived little fire monsters?!" Sokka asked waving his arms up and down at his sides.

On Ji raised an eyebrow quizzically at that comment from her hiding spot at the front of the gang's cave.
She usually didn't eavesdrop but there was something strange about Kuzon, something she liked. She leaned closer towards the entrance putting her hand flat against the wall, silently tucking her bangs back behind her ears.

"Come on guys!" Aang explained, "These kids need a taste of freedom, even after we end the war we still need to make sure the next generation knows that they are doing." "I say we take a vote." Sokka crossed his arms with a slight pout. Katara rolled her eyes at her goof of a brother, "I'm with Aang, he has a good point."

Sokka scoffed at that. "What?" She asked him, her eyes narrowing waiting for his answer. "You're always on Aang's side, you're votes don't count!" Katara just shit him a death glare before Toph interrupted, "Just let twinkletoes have a party snoozles, whats the big problem?" She flicked the last bit of ear wax at the wall and rubbed her fingers together then jumped down and placed her feet on the ground from where they had been previously hanging. "Wait." She said, her voice changing into a serious tone, "There is someone outside the cave."

On Ji's eyes widened how'd that girl know? Did she see her, hear her? She didn't want to wait to find out.

Toph's eyes threatened to pop out of her head, "They're running away! Get em' who knows what they heard." Everyone gave a slight nod and Aang took cover so he could make use of his airbending. He ran with a slight boost, whoever it was could not have gotten far. He jumped about fifteen feet up and could see a figure running with their back towards him, almost there.

On Ji ran as fast as she could, she didn't know what way she was going but there was cover in a forest up ahead. She couldn't hear anyone, so they must not of followed her. The crunch of dried leaves and twigs under her feet, her fast paced breathing was all she could hear as she bolted up the path leading to some underbrush.

What were those people talking about? Ending the war and who in the world was Aang? Just then someone landed in front of her, it was almost pitch black and she thought she made it out to be a boy. She was going to leave and go home before it got dark but they were so strange, her curiosity got the better of her. Big mistake.

"Who are you and what do you want?" He asked in a stern voice. "Kuzon?" She questioned sheepishly, shrinking away from him. He dropped his fighting stance, to her he seemed like a silhouette of darkness. "On Ji?" He stammered in a confused tone. "Kuzon what's going on?" "You followed me, that's what's going on!" On Ji felt her shyness disperse and anger quickly filled it's place.

"Well excuse me! I can't help it you're a strange boy Kuzon!" She was poking his chest now, hard with every word. "That still doesn't give you the right!" Aang replied raising his arms and throwing them back down, a cool gust of wind shook the trees behind him but On Ji didn't seem to notice.

He had to calm down and he knew it, she probably didn't hear anything, Toph probably just scared her off. "Typical…" He mumbled to himself, finishing his thoughts aloud. "What?" On Ji snapped at him, thinking that comment was directed at her. "N-nothing." He said trying to resolve the situation. "Look I can explain everything I just got a little upset you followed be is all."

On Ji decided to look at the most interesting place she could think of, her feet. "Sorry about that." She muttered. She felt a blush beginning to surface realizing they were alone together under the moon light. She took a step back as they were very close due to the small confrontation a moment ago. Her anger melted away as her mind kept wandering about the situation.

"You're not really from the colonies are you?" She asked him, one arm straight behind her back, her other gripped that arm tight under the elbow. "You could say that…" He answered, his gaze drifted off towards the moon, it was nearly full tonight he could feel it urging him to bend. His fingers itched slightly but he shrugged it off, as soon as he took care of this he and Katara could bend together.

Just then the rest of the gang came sprinting towards them, Aang noticed Katara had her waterskin perched on her hip, the cap flipped open and her right arm ready to bend at will. Sokka had his boomerang arched back in his right hand ready to strike, and Toph was in an earthbending stance as soon as they appeared. "Guys, it's okay." Aang said raising both hands in surrender, not that they could see that very well anyway, and in Toph's case not at all.

"Who is it?" Sokka asked, he still didn't put down his wepon even after Katara and Toph had relaxed a bit. Toph relaxed completely and added, "He's right, they don't feel like a threat." Sokka lowered his arm but didn't dare put away the boomerang. "That still doesn't answer my question." "Relax Sokka." Katara lightly scolded as she noticed a smaller shadow of a person next to the one that was obviously Aang's.

"This is just a friend from uh…School." Aang explained, "Everyone this is On Ji, On Ji this is everyone." On Ji gave a small wave at the group of unknown people and said in a tiny voice, "Hi." "What were you doing watching us?" Toph asked harder than before. "Well…Uh," On Ji tried to explain as she tucked her bangs behind her ears out of nervousness. "Well I saw Kuzon fight my boyfriend and he is just really um. Mysterious." She was about to continue but was cut off by Sokka, "You were fighting again?" "Don't worry I didn't do anything." Aang said rolling hjs eyes at where he guessed Sokka was standing.

"Well. What did you hear?" Katara asked On Ji trying to change the tension off of Aang. "N-nothing I swear." She said frantically "Don't lie!" Toph said stamping her foot down hard. Even without using earthbending she was still pretty scary. On Ji took a step back, she could have sworn the earth shook from the impact.

"Okay okay… So um, I may have heard a teensy little bit about ending a war and someone named Aang and something about a secret dance party, which is a really great idea by the way." A smirk crossed Toph's face as she begun in a smug voice, "That's better." On Ji didn't appreciate this girl's aditude, "How did you know I lied in the first place? I still have loads of questions!"

"Yeah well sorry to break it to ya princess, but we don't have to answer any of them!" Toph retorted pointing in the direction of On Ji. On Ji just sneered at Toph all her anger had come flowing back, "Everyone calm down, it could have been worse." Aang mediated.

" 'Kuzon' Is right guys, now is not the time to be fighting, remember?" Katara pleaded stressing that last part through her teeth. "Oh again with this?" Sokka complained sticking his tounge out with a BLAH. "Shut it!" Katara verbally spewed at him. "Or what?" Sokka taunted sticking his tounge out at her. "You know what!" She said trying not to pop open the pouch and half drown him right then and there.

"He's got a good point sugar queen." Toph laughed out in Katara's direction. "You want some of this Toph?" "Bring it!" Toph argued, Katara had really been getting on her nerves lately, she was sick of it. "Once princess over here leaves it's on!" She finished with an aggravated look from On Ji, not that she could see it anyway.

"Guys!" Aang shouted, causing heads to turn in his direction. "Now's not the time!" He said getting in between Toph and Katara, his arms spread out passively to his sides. "Whatever." Katara muttered angrily. Aang put his hand on her shoulder and her eyes seemed to be glowing in the darkness. He looked into her beautiful sea of blue, the anger seemed to fade from them.

He let go and ordered, "Everyone just needs to go home. On Ji, I'll answer anything you need to know tomorrow." Her frown lifted a bit but not enough for a smile. "Fine."

All of them made their way back to the cave while Aang helped On Ji get back to town. When he returned alone everyone surrounded a dancing fire. "You're not really gonna spill the beans to that girl right?" Toph asked hunched over, her arms on her knees, eyes blindly staring into the fire. "I'm not sure." He replied, looking off to a selected spot of the dusty ground.

Katara couldn't help but feel the tiniest bit of jealousy towards On Ji. She made herself feel better by thinking about how she didn't know about Aang, she knew that fake him, not the real Aang. The Avatar she knew, the airbender she knew. She looked over at him he looked exhausted just like the rest of them. He untied his headband and plopped down on the ground near the fire. He scrunched up, dragging his legs to his chest, wrapped his arms around them and buried his face into his kneecaps.

She let out a quiet sigh and let the day's events wrap around her mind, leaning back onto her sleeping matt she thought some more about what was going to happen tomorrow. What if he did tell that girl? Not only would it be bad if she told someone the Avatar was alive, but it would be even worse if they really believed her. Katara knew one thing for sure…If that girl found out they were definitely going to move camp.
