My god. I absolutely loved the Sozin's Comet movie. WHO DIDN'T? I'm just really sad that there was no Zutara at all…sniffle
Anyways, this is an original Kataang (sort of) oneshot, set 300 years in the future. I'm not personally a Kataang fan, but this idea just popped into my head, and I couldn't resist writing it. Enjoy, you Kataang rogues!
History Class
The bell rang. All the children in the large room immediately stood up. Their teacher, a middle-aged, severely strict woman, strode into the classroom and stopped at the desk situated in the middle of the front of the room. She faced her class expectantly.
The students immediately chorused, "Good morning, Mistress Chang." They bowed in unison, their right palms open and flat against their left fist.
The teacher waved. "You may sit down, children. Today we are going to learn about the history of our people, the Air Nomads. Now, who can tell me the name of the war that lasted one hundred years?"
A little girl piped up cheekily, "Technically, it was a hundred and one."
"Sit down, and wait to be called on, Mei," the teacher snapped.
She sat down, bowing her head and mumbling an apology.
"Yes, Kade?"
A little boy at the back of the room stood up and nearly had to yell to make himself heard by the teacher. "It was the Hundred-Year War, or Sozin's War," he shouted.
"Very good, Kade. You may sit down."
The little boy sat, looking pleased that he'd earned praise from the teacher.
"Now, the Hundred-Year War ended when an avatar, not much older than you all are, and his group of friends, who were mostly older than him, defeated the Fire Lord at that time, Ozai."
"You mean they killed him?"
"But you told us that life is sacred!"
"How did they do it?"
"It must have been so cool!"
"Quiet!" the teacher called. There was immediately a ringing silence. "Now, see: the Avatar and his friends did not kill Fire Lord Ozai. They defeated him, and took away his bending. Now, this avatar was particularly important, along with another person in his group. A woman, actually. Can anyone name them? Yes, Kade? You're very quick today."
Kade stood up and grinned. "IT WAS MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMUM, KATARA, AND MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDADDY, AVATAR AANG!" he yelled.
"Very good, Kade! Can you tell us why they're such important figures in the history of the Air Nomads?"
"Well, see, my great-great-grandmum and my great-great-granddaddy were great people. They had sex like a bajillion times, but they forgot to use a condom, so they ended up having like six kids," he announced proudly.
The teacher was gaping, openmouthed. She was speechless.
"Four of them were airbenders," he went on eagerly, "and when they married, they had airbender kids, too! And then they married and had more kids until finally there were enough airbenders to return to the air temples! And my great-great-granddaddy's pet, Appa, found a girl sky bison that had been in hiding for over twenty years, and they got married and had lots and lots of little baby sky bisons! And his other pet, Momo, fell in love with a really pretty cat, and so they had kittens that were cat-lemurs, and they repopulated the air temples too!"
There was a heavy silence.
Kade scowled. "What?"
"…detention. Tonight. And tomorrow night. And every single night for the rest of your life!"
"…but…but…it's true…"
"Quiet!"
Ah, yes, poor Kade. (: Well, leave a review!
