A/N: Okay, I changed this from the original version. Emiko is a fire bender. She was never able to use fire very well because ever since she was born, she used lightning. She's the twin of Aang. She has gray eyes and wears the traditional fire bender clothes. Even though she's a fire bender, she lives in the air temples with Aang, her mother Eriko, and her father Akeno. Her mother is a fire bender, while her father is an air bender. Emiko has long brown hair that comes down to her shoulder blades and will put it up in any style or will leave it down. Sumey and Kiri are twin earth benders except Sumey bends plants and Earth. They both have green eyes and wear the traditional earth bending cloths. Sumey has brown hair and Kiri has black hair which the wear up in a bun. This is my first story so please no flames! If you have tips, put them in a nice way. On with the story.

Emiko was running towards her friends. They were waiting for her at the waterfall.

"Hi guys! What's up?" asked Emiko.

"Oh nothing and didn't you say that you were bringing your twin brother with you?" asked a very confused Sumey, Emiko's best friend in the world.

"I asked him, but he had to go some where today with the monks." said Emiko trying to mask the pain in her voice. Her friends knew she was an air bender but didn't know A).Her brother was the avatar and B).Her father was an air bender.

"That's okay" asked Kiri. "Let's go ahead and head to the tree we carved our names and song into." stated Emiko.

"Can we also go to Omashu because I want to introduce you to a friend, which by the way is on the way were going." Emiko said.

"Sure that would be great! So we'll go to Omashu through the…" said Kiri.

"… SECRET TUNNEL!" said everyone in unision. They all loved that tunnel. It was like a home away from home for them. It was also their favorite place in the whole wide world. Once they got to the tree, they saw Evalon. There journey there wasn't all to exciting in fact, because they had nothing to say! That was just unusual for them because they would always have something to say. "Okay now that we're here, we can either take a break from walking, or go straight to Omashu." Emiko explained. Sumey whispers to Kiri.

"Well Sumey just told me she wants to head straight to Omashu and I want to go there right now too. So what do you want o do?" said Kiri.

"I agree. I also want to get to Omashu right now." said Emiko.

"Well then. What are we waiting for, let's go!" said a very excited Sumey.

As they began to head to the tunnel, Sumey said "You know what Emiko? Maybe that's where your brother had to go!"

"Maybe you're right." Emiko said masking her pain again. She knew her brother wasn't in Omashu. She wanted to go there to tell Bumi that Aang was going to end up in big trouble. She didn't know what it was yet, but she was having a strange feeling all day since she woke up. Plus she wanted also wanted all three friends to know each other. She was truly scared of loosing Aang. Just as Emiko was getting lost in her thoughts, they were at the secret tunnel.

Before they all went in, they all sang the song called "Secret Tunnel" that they made up. It was a tradition they always did before entering.

Then they went in to the tunnel.
