Sorry for the two week break, I've had a few tests but I'm doing great! I'm slightly perturbed at the lack of reviews but it's ok I'll carry on regardless.

When Aang and Katara returned to the village Sokka and Mozart were at the head of an angry tribe. Mozart seemed almost cynical of the situation but kept silent. "Katara I told you he was fire nation, he signalled them with that flare" Sokka shouted angrily.
"It was an accident" Katara said blushing. "Yeah we were on the ship and we boobied into a booby trap" Aang continued. "Katara you know that ship is off limits, we could all be in danger now" Gran gran said disappointed. "Don't blame Katara it was my fault" Aang said sadly.
"The traitor confesses, warriors away from him" Sokka said as the children surrounded him. They reluctantly tore away and moved behind Sokka. "Sokka that's wrong the past tense of confess is confessed not confesses" Mozart said scoldingly."Aang you are banished" Sokka continued ignoring Mozart.
"No you can't!" Katara protested.
"Katara you knew the ship was off limits, I think it's best if the air nomads leaves" Gran Gran said with no doubt in her tone. "Fine I'm leaving too" Katara replied angrily.
"Katara I don't want you to choose between your family and me" Aang said sadly. "Aang that's wrong you should say I don't want to you to choose between your family and I but thank you for the weapons" Mozart interrupted as he walked over to Katara, took the twin swords and walked past them out of the village towards Appa.
"Katara would you really choose him over your family?" Sokka asked sorrowfully. Katara looked sadly at Aang. "I'll never see you again?" Katara asked saddened.
"Thanks for penguin sledding with me" Aang said sadly.
"I guess that's a no" Mozart shouted earning the glare of Katara. "Where will you go?" Katara asked looking away. "Back to the southern air temple, wow I haven't cleaned my room in a hundred years not looking forward to that" Aang said jumping onto Appa's saddle.
"Get out of here air boy, make your dog fly" Sokka said proud of the fact he used his power as head of the tribe. "Yip yip" Aang called but Appa only moaned and began to walk.
"Yeah I thought so" Sokka said smiling. "Wait don't go I'll miss you" a young girl said running so that she was in line with Katara. "I'll miss you too" Aang replied looking directly at Katara. Mozart and Appa walked in line whilst Aang sat on top of Appa. Slowly they plodded behind a hill and out of sight.
"It's fine katara you'll feel better after—" Gran Gran began to say before Katara interrupted. "Happy? That's my one chance at becoming a water bender" Katara said pointing at Aang's absence behind a hill.
"Ok hustle up, warrior lessons are being moved up since an attack is probably close" Sokka shouted behind her.
"So Aang, why didn't you tell her you loved her?" Mozart asked as he sat in a cocoon of ice with a dull red fire burning at the centre. "I don't love her" Aang said blushing.
"Aang remember I can tell when you lie" Mozart said noticing his blush.
"Whatever" Aang said turning his head. "I don't care either way and I want to dye my hair on the way to the southern air temple" Mozart said decisively. "Wait stay here" Aang said before running off back towards the village. Mozart looked up and saw a fire nation ship. He saddened before pulling Appa back towards the village at a slower pace.
"Everyone to emergency positions" Sokka called out when he saw the ship approaching. The ice cracked beneath his feet but the fissures were little more then hair line cracks. As the ship came closer, the cracks got wider and wider.
Katara slid over to stop a small child falling into the crack and took it into a tent. When she had returned the ship had stopped. "Sokka get out of the way" she said darkly, her mood unimproved from earlier events.
The door dropped down with a resounding thud. Several fire nations soldiers ran down the incline and surrounded the villagers. "I am Zuko, bring me the avatar, he should be this age" he said grabbing Gran Gran by her collar and subsequently throwing her back.
Sokka let out a war cry and began to fight with Zuko. Zuko evaded every single attack Sokka threw at him and grabbed the weapon. He poked the blunt side into Sokka's head three times and then broke the weapon in two.
When Zuko was about end Sokka's life, Aang arrived on penguin back. He knocked the fire nation footmen off their feet with a whip of air and arrived in the middle of the circle next to Sokka.
"You're the avatar? You're just a boy" Zuko said shocked.
"Well you're just a teenager" Aang replied calmly. "Guards attack him" Zuko said angrily. "I'll come with you but only if you leave this place alone" Aang said offering his staff.
"Deal, seize him" Zuko said instantly. The guards forced Aang into chains and pushed him onto the ship. The ship then moved back out to see as Katara began to cry. "We have to save him, we are all he has" Katara said between cries.
"I know so aren't you coming?" Sokka said from next to a canoe. "I believe the question is are you yourself not coming to save Aang?" Mozart said from on top of Appa holding both swords.
"Mozart! Appa!" Katara shouted running over. "Take these with you, your place is with the avatar, I've never had so much hope and it's thanks to that little boy" Gran Gran said holding out two sleeping tents for Sokka.
"Voodoo and crazy things" Sokka murmured before getting on Appa. "Yip Yip" Mozart called out before Appa rose into the sky."He's flying! He's really flying!" Sokka yelled looking over the edge of the saddle. When he turned around, Katara were looking at him smirking. "Nothing big, he's just flying" Sokka said trying to play it off.
On Zuko's ship Aang was about to begin a break for freedom. "A few seconds longer" he whispered to himself as the guard opened the door. As soon as the guard opened the door, he broke the chains with a breeze of air and pushed himself out the door.
"The avatar has escaped" Aang's jailer shouted. Aang turned to see three footmen waiting. "Anyone seen my staff?" he asked hopefully. The men ignored it and threw fire towards him. The fire missed as Aang used a ball of air to surf past the warriors.
He approached a room without any guards standing outside and opened the door to see a sleeping man inside. "Sorry" he whispered closing the door. He opened the next door to find Zuko standing next to his staff.
"Looks like I underestimated you" Zuko said before throwing fire at Aang. Zuko threw more and more fire at Aang but Aang avoided it using the tapestry on the wall. He wrapped Zuko in the tapestry, grabbed his staff and escaped onto the deck of the ship.
"Stop him" Zuko shouted giving chase to the young air bender. Aang ran to the end of the ship before stopping. Zuko stood opposite him ready to attack.
"Aang jump!" Katara called out. Aang smiled and jumped off the edge. He started to glow and froze the ship into an adjacent iceberg. "Fire benders fire" Zuko called our venemously.
Aang took three steps and jumped off the side of the ship, opening his glider so he would glide on to Appa who was resting on top of the iceberg. "Ok let's go" Mozart said putting his swords down. Appa moaned and began to rise into the clouds and out of sight.
"I underestimated him but it won't happen again" Zuko said bitterly when his uncle appeared behind him. "Come have some tea, it's a time for celebration you've discovered the avatar after your father and grandfather failed" Iroh said patting him on the back. Zuko smiled before gesturing for the fire benders to melt the ice.
"Thanks for coming to get me" Aang said to Sokka and Katara. "You're welcome" Mozart said dryly. Katara, Aang and Sokka smiled at the sarcasm. "So shall I take you back?" Aang asked Sokka and Katara.
"No we're coming with you" Katara said happily. Aang smiled and began to take Appa higher. "Why didn't you tell me you were the avatar?" Katara said sadly. "It's because Aang never chose to be it and for many years he hated the notion of an avatar" Mozart interrupted as he looked at the two swords he had been given.
"Then what happened?" Sokka asked curiously. "Then I had to deal with it and got Mozart to help me be the avatar" Aang said smiling. Mozart gave him an icy glare before turning away and smiling.
"So how did you do that water bending?" Katara asked interested. "Its the avatar state but Aang wasn't supposed to be able to use it so I'm guess he has to stop the war according to what the sprits want" Mozart interrupted once more.
"And we're helping" Sokka said proudly. Aang smiled and looked ahead. "Maybe then Katara and Aang can tell each other how they feel" Mozart said raising his swords up mockingly.
