Hello again, my wonderful readers! How does my story "Secrets" sound so far? I know the title isn't very original, but the entire story is based around a secret, so "Secrets" seemed like a fitting title. ANYWHO… (If you've ever watched My Wife and Kids, I love to quote Franklin), here's my second chapter called "Fairytales and Reality". I really hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender, or any of the characters in this story. I can say that the secret and most things involved with the secret are mine originally, so if anyone wants to do a sequel or a spinoff of my story, you better ask me first or you can bet I'll sue your little unprofessional butt. THANKS!

Chapter 2: Fairytales and Reality

Aang grabbed Toph by the arm and practically dragged her to a field nearby the Jasmine Dragon, where they had been training. He kept going persistently, and ignored Toph's questions and threats.

"I swear, Twinkles, if you're kidnapping me AGAIN, I will shove a boulder down your throat too!" Toph growled.

"I promise I'm not kidnapping you now. But depending on your answers to my questions, I may need to." Aang said in a serious tone, similar to the one he used with Ozai in their final Agni Kai.

"I think we're far away enough now, Twinkles."

"This seems far enough." Aang replied, already forming a rock tent around them.

"Okay, we're far away, surrounded by solid rock that's completely soundproof, so now I think its safe to ask- WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?" Toph screamed, serious and strict.

"Toph, have you ever read the fairytale 'The Girl with the Hidden Talent'?"

"I think I remember my parents reading a story like that once to me when I was little, but the book was so old and worn and tattered."

"That's because it was written by a monk that I was really close to pre-iceberg situation. So that was about 101 years ago, I remember because he told me that his inspiration for the story was me, the second I was born. He said something about having a vision when he saw me for the first time. Or at least that's what I remember."

"Oh, yeah! I remember that story perfectly now! It was- oh."

"Oh, what?"

"Nothing, Twinkles, don't worry about it."

"No, Toph, I need to worry about it. What was in that book that you're not telling me? You know I remember it perfectly clear, so you might as well spill now." Aang barked.

"Well, it was about a girl, who had a hidden talent."

"I think I can figure out that on my own, Toph."

"Ok, so this girl was an amazing earthbender, the best in the world. But, she had a disability, and people thought she was weak, but she was strong. Even when she was the best, she still had more to her that the world didn't know."

"And…?"

"Well, um, she… she was… uh…"

"SPILL IT, TOPH!"

"SHE WAS A MULTIBENDER! There, I said it. She was a multibender. She was a crazy good earthbender, but she was also an airbender."

"And what else could she do?"

"Well, there was this one time that her mother was very sick. And when her mom finally passed on to the Spirit World, she cried over her body, and suddenly, her mother was healed. They called it 'The Tear of the Fearless.'"

"So now do you see why I'm asking you this? I can connect the dots, Toph. Now, let me ask you. Are you a multibender?"

"Toph, answer me, right now. Are you a multibender?" Aang repeated with a more stern voice.

Toph had her hand behind her back as he questioned her, and when she put her had in front of Aang, there it was. An air current.

On the other hand, she was bending dirt into different shapes.

Aang was flung back in shock. Toph opened the door of the rock tent as he tumbled down the hill they were on. She picked him up with the air current in her hand and brought him back into the tent.

"So that means…"

"Yes, Aang. You're not alone. You're not the last. It's you and me. We're all that's left of the Air Nomads.

Suddenly, the tent closed from underneath them as they rose, and the tent began to spin in circles slowly. The tent went up until they were in the clouds, and then they went back down. The tent unfolded and they stood up.

"Aang, where are we? Everything looks the same, yet, different?"

"Toph. Welcome, to the Spirit World."

"What are we doing here?"

"I have no idea."

A tall man with a ghostly look appeared before them.

"Monk Gyatso? Is that you?"

"Aang!" the man shouted, running to grasp him in a tight hug.

"Kai-Lin!" Gyatso called, collecting Toph and adding her into the hug.

"Um, Monk Gyatso, sir? My name is not Kai-Lin. It's Toph." She said, trying to be as calm as possible. All this was getting to be too much for the young earth/airbender.

"Oh, yes, right, Toph! My greatest apologies. I called you Kai-Lin because that's your character's name in the story."

"Wait, so you know who I am? I mean, you recognize me? But you passed on here long before I was born!"

"While that may be true, Aang here was completely correct. When I held him in my arms when he was born, I saw a vision. A vision, of the girl with the hidden talent. Of Kai-Lin. Of, well, you. I saw you, jumping from tree to tree in a swamp, in a long white dress that caught the wind, but I knew that wasn't why you appeared to be flying. You didn't just appear to be flying, you WERE flying. After that vision, I had another one which was pretty much a fast forward version of everything you've accomplished. By the way, I'm a big fan of your metal bending."

"Well, thank you. That sounds kind of familiar. Wait a second! I had a dream about that once. Just nights before Aang took me away from home to mentor him. How could I have forgotten that? I was in a swamp, with a winged boar, and I was jumping from tree to tree. Running away from… wait a second, that was YOU! I was running away from YOU, AANG! He was chasing me, and I just couldn't stop laughing! After a while, I woke up and found myself floating in the air, laughing. That's when… that's when I found out I was, when I was Kai-Lin, I guess."

"So, Monk Gyatso, how do we get out of the Spirit World?" Aang questioned, puzzled.

"Twinkle Toes, silly, haven't you read the story? Once the girl's best friend finds out, they're sent to the spirit world and they… they both get stuck in the Spirit World until they can find the Spirit of the Avatar."

"Greaaatttttttttt…" they both sighed simultaneously.

"So, Gyatso, we're, stuck here?"

"I'm afraid so, Kai- Lin, I'm afraid so."

So, whatdya think? Very eventful chapter, wasn't it? Did you see that coming? Of course you didn't! You had no idea! MUAHAHAHAHA! What will the rest of the Gaang do when they find out that Toph and Aang are missing? How did Gyatso know? What will they do? What will happen next? Find out in Chapter 3, coming soon to a store near you.

I would like to thank RORI-72, sol and Hoenheim for being the first 3 reviewers! Keep reviewing, and stay tuned, because if I wrote this whole chapter in an hour, you could be expecting VERY quick updates! Until then, my readers.
