Avatar: The New Air Benders

Writers Notes: Wow I'm slightly surprised that it's gotten so many hits in just a couple of hours. Anyways, here's what you've all been waiting for; I think. Also, just to tell the readers, Jiao Katara's and Aangs Daughter, she's only like, 2. So it's not too much that she can bend both water and air. It would have been if I went and add the other two as well lol.

Chapter Two: Dinner At the Avatar's House

Kataras Prov

So, I wasn't one bet happy about having Aang leave on a journey without me. This would be what I think the third time that he's gone out, alone, to go around the world to see if there were any new borns that could air bend. I knew it was something that Aang wanted to see happen, more air nomads back in the air temples, starting with our current home, the Western Air Temple. He'd gone and fixed up everything around here using his earth bending. It was nice that he could just fix things up in no time but I sort of felt useless when it came to doing things like fixing things up. Well besides mending clothing.

"Aang, could you take Jiao please. I need to finish dinner." I passed Jiao off to Aang, using my water bending to make a cradle that went over to Aang and sat her down in his lap. "Thanks appreciate it." I told him as I turned to the pots of cooking veggies in the pots. Bending the water around to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the metal post that we had our friend Toph make for us.

The boys plus Jiao, where talking about fishing; well Sokka was at least talking about fishing and Aang was telling him how it was bad to be eating other living animals. It was kind of funny considering they were arguing over food, but that was normal between the two of them. Meanwhile, just as I finished the veggie only soup for Aang and Jet to eat, Jet came running in with the glider.

"Dad dad, there's a weird women in all green on the cliff, I think she's climbing down now, but I don't know. I flew here.. Opps…." he said putting his hands over his mouth and dropping glider onto the ground.

"Don't worry, your mom already knows about you flying around on my glider." Aang told him, the expression on Jets face was just too funny that I couldn't hold in my own laughter. "A women in all green? Sounds like some of our friends have finally arrived." he said, clapping his hands together happily. Just as the door opened, well slide down into the ground, most likely Aangs doing.

"Aang! Katara! How are things going?!" said a high pitch girls voice from behind me somewhere in the door way. "Sokka! You left me a note and that's it! You could of said something this morning before I left!" Suki's voice rang through the house, as the sound of the door closing mellowed behind her voice.

"Well, Aang decided to go check on the world, again. So we're having dinner before he leaves." I said, putting the led on top of the veggie pot and turned towards the meat pot with veggies. "I've made enough for everyone so don't worry." This was true enough, I always made to much for just our little family mostly because I was use to feeding our group… which was now disbanded. Toph was off somewhere teaching earth bending and metal bending. Zuko, well, he was fire lord and was busy with running his nation and fixing everything his father had done.

"Great! Aunt Suki, Uncle Sokka, when are you going to have kids so I can play with them?" Jet asked, he'd been quiet for a little while, and was now standing next to me in the kitchen, "I really want cousins to play with." he said, with a tone that hinted that he had a smile on his face just like his father.

Both Sokka and Suki looked at each other, of course Aang and I both looked at them with a questioning look. That was a good question, when were they going to start having kids. "Um, well… Its too soon really… And… We're not ready…" they both said slightly delayed but at the same time making both Aang and my self laugh.

"Don't worry guys, theres no pressure." Aang said, rocking Jiao in his lap.

"Yes there is, I want to have cousins!" Jet protested, loudly and I smacked him up side the head with the back of my hand. "Ouch… why did you do that mom?"

"Because you don't force people to have kids. Just let them be." I said, turning the burner off of stove and looked at the stone table that everyone was sitting at. "Dinners done." I announced at once and carried the two pots over to the table, one on top of another. Setting the pots in the middle of the table, I took my seat next to Aang and stared at him for a minute, it looked like he'd just got hit with something, he was so, out of it.

"Okay, guys… Honey… Jet, to tell you the truth… I wasn't just going on this trip alone to get away from everyone.." he said, taking in a long deep breath all the eyes were on him watching, waiting I could feel my own heart wanting to stop just so I didn't have the pounding in my ears. "I was going to help the world return to normal…" he said, starting to explain a little bet, but it didn't make any sense to anyone at that moment.

"What do you mean return it to normal?" Sokka asked, looking at Aang with a serious tone, and voice. Something my brother wasn't well known for.

"Well… What mean is, like it was a hundred and ten years ago." He said, and it hit me. I sort of had an idea of what Aang was going to say after that, but I wasn't completely sure, and I heard Jet ask his father a question that I wouldn't of expected him to.

"Dad your one hundred and twenty two years old!!" Jet asked, slightly astonished that his own father was way older than his mother but looked just about the same age. "You can't be that old… right dad?…" he looked around at everyone at the table, none of us didn't seem shocked as he was at that moment.

"Don't worry Jet. I'm not going anywhere, Im just doing what the planet is telling me to. And that's to bring back the Air Benders into the world. We've already gotten more numbers right here." he said chuckling as he pointed at Jet, then down at Jiao, "But Jiao is special, when she gets older she'll realize it without mine or her mom's help." he said, before continuing with is explanation of what he was going to do.

"Anyways, the last couple of nights. I've been having dreams, dreams that went back to the fight with Sozen. But it just kept repeating around the part where I took away his fire bending." There was a slight gasp as everyone else caught onto what he was about to say, "Im going to go around the world, giving the power to Air Bending to those that are worthy of it, and to make sure of it, Im going to the different nations kings to tell them about it so they can announce to their people if they want to attempt to become a Air Bender, or at least learn about the Air Benders." than he just stopped speaking for a while and pulled out some of the veggie soup for him self and Jet.

My self, Sokka, and Suki all looked at him dazed by his plan of making air benders, it seemed so complicated but at the same time not. He did have all the wisdom of all of his pasts lives, but this was the first time that an Avatar had to do something to bring Air Benders back.

"Aang, you think you can do this in a week? Don't you think it'll take longer?" Suki asked, looking at him as I bent some of the meat soup into her bowl so she could start eating dinner along with Sokka and the rest of us.

"I think I can do it in a week, but Im thinking about two weeks tops. It won't be that long its not like Im going to go all the way down to the south and north poles to see if they want to be air benders. Im going to stay in the earth and fire kingdoms. Since we're close to both of them." Aang said, taking another helping of the soup. It seemed to be one of his favorite dinners that I cook for him and Jet, I saw Jet just about ready to dip his bowl into the pot of soup.

"One second Jet…" I told him, bending some more soup into his bowl so he'd be content. "So, we'll see you when your flying back and forth between the earth kingdom and fire nation right?" I asked, my hopes were high but why would I let drag on the ground if he was just going to be flying back and forth between the fire and earth kingdoms?

"Yep don't worry. I'll stop by between flights." Aang said with a smile, than the whole dinner table went quiet besides the scrapping of spoons on the bowls.
