Hello, everyone! So, this is the second fanfiction I've posted on here. I hope you all enjoy it, and remember, reviews and constructive criticism are welcome and appreciated!

Kya smiled softly as the cool wind of the South Pole swept her hair back. She rested her arms on the side of the giant sky bison saddle, and stared down at the vast body of water below them. They had been flying for about six days, and she was ready to be back on solid ground. She wasn't sure she could handle much more "family time". The whole family was irritable, and had had just about had enough.

As if to confirm her thoughts, she heard her mother snap at her brother.

"Bumi, honestly! You're sixteen! Shouldn't you have outgrown this nonsense by now?!"

Kya turned to see her older brother pestering their little brother, who was trying to meditate. She could see Tenzin's jaw clenched, and his eyebrows scrunched together. She could tell that her normally even-tempered brother was close to blowing Bumi off of Appa.

Bumi looked at his mother innocently.

"What? I'm just messing with him."

Katara just glared at him and shook her head.

"Ugh, fine!" he got up and moved to the other side of the saddle. He flopped down and threw his head back dramatically, letting out a groan.

Katara rolled her eyes and focused her attention back on the sewing in her lap.

Kya sighed and moved to the front of the saddle and leaned over, staring down at her father's figure, who was stretched out on the top of the bison's head with Momo curled up on his chest.

"Dad, are we there yet?"

Aang sighed and tilted his head back so he could see his daughter.

"We'll be there in about two hours." He stifled a yawn and closed his eyes, letting his head return to its original position.

Kya sighed and crawled over to her mom. She sat beside her and let her head rest on Katara's shoulder.

"Mom," she whined "This is taking forever!"

"I know." Katara replied, only being partially sympathetic. Kya sighed and curled into her mother until she was snuggled up against her side. Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Kya. Kya, wake up." A soft hand shook her shoulder gently.

"Hmmm?" she sighed, lifting her head.

"We're here." Suddenly, she wasn't so tired anymore. She shot up and saw that Appa had landed near the village, and people were beginning to gather. She scanned the crowd carefully, keeping her eyes peeled for her grandfather. When she saw the aging warrior, she grinned and jumped over the back of the saddle, sliding down Appa's tail. When she hit the ground, she took off at a run.

"Grandpa!" she yelled, plowing into the man and nearly knocking him down.

Hakoda grunted in surprise and laughed. Despite his old age, he picked up his granddaughter and twirled her around with ease.

"Good to see you, too!" he said, and set her down before wrapping her in a big hug. It was then that the rest of her family arrived. Hakoda pulled away and held her at arm's length.

"Look at you," he whispered. "So much like your mother."

Kya grinned at him, and Hakoda chuckled, before releasing her and turning to her mother.

"Katara," he said, pulling her into a hug. Katara hugged him back tightly, burying her face in his shoulder.

"I've really missed you." she mumbled.

"I've missed you, too." He pulled back. "Really, though, I can't believe how much she looks like you. Does she act like you?"

"Oh, yeah." Aang cut in. "She's every bit as stubborn as her mother. She's quite a force to be reckoned with."

Hakoda laughed while Katara shot her husband a glare and smacked his shoulder playfully.

Aang grinned and stepped forward, holding his arm out to his father-in-law. "Good to see you, Hakoda."

Hakoda gripped Aang's elbow and smiled. "Good to see you, too, Aang."

Bumi and Tenzin stepped out from behind their father. Hakoda grinned.

"There are my two grandsons."

He pulled Bumi close. "Well, look at you. So tall and strong. Been working out much?"

Bumi grinned. "Oh, you know." he said, rubbing his shoulder. "I've got to start training now if I'm going to join the United Forces."

Hakoda raised his eyebrows in surprise. "The United Forces, huh? I didn't know you were going to join."

"Nothing's official yet." Katara snapped, shooting Bumi a glare. "We're not done discussing it."

Bumi looked at the ground and sighed in frustration. Hakoda patted his shoulder, then turned to his younger grandson.

"There he is, my favorite airbending grandson." He rubbed the boy's bald head playfully. Tenzin smiled slightly.

"Yeah, right. I'm your only airbending grandson."

He just laughed.

"So, how's the training?"

"It's going well." Aang answered, staring at his youngest son proudly. "It won't be long until he earns his arrows."

"That's good to hear. Keep working hard."

A cold breeze suddenly blew through, causing them to shiver slightly.

"Well, let's get inside, before someone gets sick."

"Yeah," Bumi agreed. "The last thing we need is Dad or Tenzin catching a cold."
