Chapter 1: Training Together

Aria's POV:

"C'mon Aria, we're running late!" Aang called from in front of me. It was like this everyday; Aang and I would playfight, then realize we were going to be late for training. Today was different though, because we were extra late.

I caught up to him in no time flat. "Want to make this interesting then?" I asked him. He looked over to me and smiled. "What do you have in mind? A race of some sort?" I nodded and stated, "Loser has to do their own AND the winner's laundry for the next week. Do you accept?"

He gave me a look that I knew all too well; the look of acceptance and determination. "Ok, on your marks, get set, GO!" I cried. We took off, me ahead of course. Suddenly, something extremely fast passed me. I immediately recognized it as Aang on his air scooter.

"Cheater!" I shouted. I then summoned up my air scooter and caught up to him, my short brunette hair flowing behind me. "The race was supposed to be on foot." I clarified. He laughed. "Says the girl on the air scooter!" he taunted. I gave him the best glare I could muster, which apparently wasn't enough because he started laughing more.

"Aw, whats up? Little sis can't keep up?" He asked in a babyish voice. I growled and said, "We're twins, remember? Also, you're the younger one." I said, smirking. He rolled his eyes and we just rode to the training grounds in silence(beside the hustle and bustle of the market.).

When we reached the door to the training grounds, we heard murmoring inside. "Maybe we should just come back later?" Aang suggested. I rolled my eyes. "Don't be a baby." I whisper-shouted and put my ear up to the door. I heard Monk Guiatso and one of the other monks talking about something that sounded urgent.

"...mean there are two avatars?!" Monk Guiatso asked in his calm yet surprise tone.

"I mean Aang and his twin are BOTH destined to be the avatars." The other monk answered.

"How is that possible?"

"None of the monks know, but their parents have claimed that they've both had visions of their past lives."

There was silence, then Guiatso's voice rang out. "Who's going to tell Aria that she has the same destiny as her brother?"

Without thinking, I opened the door and stepped onto the grounds. "So...so i'm...the avatar too?" I asked, astonished. They both turned towards me, guilt and surprise displayed on their faces. Apparently they were breathless, because neither of them talked, just merely nodded.

I sat on the ground, dumbfounded. How could this have happened? There weren't supposed to be two avatars at once, just...one until that one died. Does that mean that one of us is destined to die?

Not realizing that I spoke out loud, Monk Guiatso replied, "I do not think so. At least, I hope not." I felt Aangs arms around me, obviously feeling my emotions. "You leave for water-bending training tomorrow." Guiatsu stated reluctantly. I nodded. "We'll come back, right?" Guiatso's face saddened, then held the mask of happiness as he said, "Of course."

"Is it okay if I left Kiara here then?" I asked. Kiara is my Air Bison, and she is extremely important to me. I didn't want her to get hit in crossfire in case there were anti-avatar assasins. "You must ask her. I have no problems with her staying here, you can come visit her whenever you wish." He replied. "No training today, take the rest of the day to say goodbye to all of your friends." Guiatso offered.

We bowed and left, visiting all of our friends before stopping at our barn. I went straight to Kiara's pen. "Hey Kiki, what's up?" I asked. 'Same as usual. What's wrong?' she asked. I can never hide anything from her. "Apparently, I'm an avatar too. I think it would be best for you to stay here while i'm training. I'll come back for you when i'm done." I answered.

'No,' she stated stubbournly, 'You can try to leave without me, but I WILL follow you. No matter how many restraints they put on me.' I laughed. "You're as stubbourn as a Muledog," I said, "Ok fine, you win! I guess we can ride Appa and have you carry the gear." She roared happily and licked me. 'Thank you! Now go get some rest, my little avatar. I want to get started early tomorrow' Kiara stated. I giggled and said, "Depends on what time dummy is up and ready to go."

She gave a sound that sounded like laughter. "G'night Kiki." I said as I yawned. 'Sleep well, Rere' She said. As I slept that night, I dreamt that I was hit by a bolt of lightning and was dead. Aang stood over my body and was angry with someone out of my view. I heard an evil laugh, then I woke up.

Aang stood over my bed. "It's time." he stated.
