Ok, so, here's the next chapter in observations! I was watching the southern raiders when this hit me. Real wired right? That's a total Zutara episode. But that thought just made me think more of Kataang!
This story takes place somewhere in The Guru/The Crossroads of Destiny.
Read on!

Never in his life had Hakoda thought that his kids would travel the world. Let alone meet the Avatar and other people from the other nations.
But it had to be true, for he was hearing everything on his kids' adventures with the Avatar from Sokka.
At the moment they were in Hakoda's tent, sitting by the lit fire while Sokka told his over exaggerated stories.
"So there we were, flying to the Earth King's palace, riding Appa who we had just found, when we were attacked by the Earth King's guards! They were sending enormous boulders our way but Aang blocked them all! He was like, EARTHBENDING SLICE!" Sokka said as he dramatically gestured with his right hand.
Hakoda just nodded. He didn't quite know who this 'Aang' person was yet since Sokka had just thrown in the names of his companions. But, he figured that 'Aang' must have been the Avatar since in various stories he had used more than one element.
"So Aang," Hakoda started, "is the Avatar?"
"Yep," Sokka answered. "I also think he has a crush on Katara."
At that piece of information, Hakoda sat up straiter. "Come again?"
"I think Aang has a crush on Katara," Sokka repeated. "I've seen the way he looks at her. Every time she hugs him or kisses him on the cheek his face looks like it has caught on fire."
"Really?" Hakoda asked.
"Yep," said Sokka. "He also does things for her like makes necklaces, or returns necklaces, and once he frowned because Katara called him a sweet little guy like Momo."
"Who's Momo again?" Hakoda asked.
"Momo is Aang's pet lemur. We found him at the Southern Air temple after we left home." Sokka replied.
"Oh, ok," said Hakoda. "On with your story."
"Right," Sokka started again. "I also think that Katara likes Aang. She's always hugging him for no apparent reason! Just before Aang and I left to come find you here, Katara kissed him on the cheek. Again, his face just lot on fire!"
The two Water Tribe warriors shared a quick laugh.
"So they like each other?" Hakoda pushed. "Are they in a relationship?"
"WHAT?" Sokka screamed. "No. They aren't! They are too afraid to admit their feelings to one another. Though Aang has tried. I had to interrupt before he could get out the words."
"Oh, alright," the Water Tribe chief pondered on the new information for a while.
He had never actually seen the young Avatar before and was suddenly curious to see what his daughter's crush looked like.

Later that day, as the Water Tribe men were boarding the ships, they heard a deep bellowing roar coming from the sky.
Sokka and Hakoda turned around to see a huge sky bison coming toward them. The bison had a single rider upon it and a big arrow adorning it's forehead.
When the bison landed, Hakoda got a good look at it's rider. It looked to be a kid, no older than 12 or 13, who had an arrow on his forehead. The boy wore a look of concern as he turned toward Sokka.
So this is Aang, Hakoda thought. He looks kind of young. Well, Sokka did say he was told he was the Avatar at a young age.
Sokka looked back at Aang. "This can't be good news," he said and climbed wordlessly onto the fluffy monstrosity.
As the bison took off along with the Avatar and Sokka, Hakoda couldn't help but think, Well, my daughter sure knows how to pick 'em, before turning and walking back onto his ship and sailing away.

Not the best one-shot I've made, you have to admit it. But there really wasn't much to say in this one. The next one I post will be a long one, I promise! I was just tired when I wrote this. It has been a long week and it's 11:26pm. School has worn me out. But I have a couple more ideas for Observations so I will be posting them before Halloween and maybe a Halloween related Avatar story that's modern! I don't know. Tell me your opinion. Now, go and review! It will make my day!
