Chapter 2 Strangers
Disclaimer: No you damn bakas! (Co-A/N: That means 'idiot' in Japanese) I DON'T OWN AVATAR THE LAST AIR BENDER!
------------------------------------------------------
Aang, Katara, and Sokka, are flying on Appa, Aang's flying bison, on their way to the North Pole to find a master water bender.
"Aang, it's getting dark," Katara said, "Maybe we should make camp."
"Yeah! We should find some food, too!", Sokka yelled.
"I guess," Aang said disappointedly.
Aang made Appa land. They got off and started to make camp.
"Sokka, go get fire wood," Katara yells at her brother.
"Fine," Sokka said, "There better be food here when I get back!"
Sokka goes crashing through the forest. He thought he heard something and sneaks up behind a bush to see two girls fighting. One of the girls, a dark haired one, flinches, then dives to the side as the other girl, a blonde, runs forward and tries to punch the other girl. After the other girl dives to the side, the blonde turns to the side and swings her foot right, toward the dark haired girl's head, but stops her foot at the back of the girl's neck.
"That's the 6th time I've won!" The blonde yelled.
"It's not my fault you're better at hand-to-hand combat than I am!" The dark haired girl said, obviously ruffled.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever!" The blonde said triumphantly. The blonde stopped, stood up, and looked around.
"Show yourself!" The blonde yelled as she ran toward Sokka's bush and drove him head first into it. She landed on Sokka and they tumbled down the hill behind the bush.
When they reach the bottom of the hill, the blonde pinned Sokka against a tree.
"Who are you?" The blonde yelled at Sokka.
"Are you okay?" The other girl yelled at the blonde from the top of the hill.
"My name is Sokka", Sokka said.
"What were you doing?" The blonde asked.
"I was gathering fire wood, and-"
The blonde dropped him and starts to walk off.
"Wait!"
They turn around to see Katara walk out of the trees. The blonde started walking again.
"Wait! Don't go!" Katara cried as she ran up to the two girls.
"Hi, I'm Katara, who are you?"
"I'm Pacia," the dark haired girl said timidly, "and this is Vn-"
"Vala," the blonde cut in.
"Well, hi!" Katara said happily, "Where are you traveling, or do you live around here?"
"We're traveling to the North Pole," Vala said.
"That's where we're going!" Katara exclaimed.
"Really?" Pacia and Vala said at the same time.
"Yeah, you two should travel with us!" Katara said.
"Katara, I..." Sokka stammered.
"After all, you are from a water tribe, right?" Katara said.
"Yeah," Pacia said, "Vala and I are sisters, and we're going to live at the North Pole."
"I'm older," Vala whispered to Pacia when the others weren't paying attention. They all went back to camp, where the newcomers met Aang.
--------------3 days later---------------
The girls were shopping for supplies. They finished and began to walk back to camp. They stopped when they found an old man being harassed by fire nation soldiers.
"Please have mercy!" The old man pleaded.
"Shut up, old man!" A soldier yelled.
The girls ran behind a bush.
"We have to do something!" Katara whispered urgently.
"We agree," Vala said, "but it's not that easy!"
"Well, we'll make it easy!" Katara yelled and ran into the open.
"Uh-oh!" Pacia muttered.
"Hey!" Katara yelled.
The guards turn around to see Katara standing there with Pacia on her right and Vala on her left.
"Run home, little girls." The guard said scornfully, turning back to the old man.
"We said leave him alone!" Vala roared, jumping forward and punching a guard in the jaw, then turning around to kick a guard.
"Little help here!" Vala grunted.
"Oh, right!" Katara and Pacia said at the same time. They both moved their hands in a series of motions and a big wave came out of a nearby stream. It washed away the rest of the guards.
"I didn't know you were a water bender, Pacia!" Katara said, surprised, after they had wiped the floor with the fire nation guards.
"Well, now you do," Pacia said timidly.
A/N: HEY sorry if I Miss-spelled any names. Hope you liked chapter 2! I want to send a shout out to PACIA! (Yes she is a real person... or maybe I'm just losing it, looks around nervously Anyway BYE!
Co-A/N: Why do you put these at the bottom? Oh, well. Pacia here, I'm the one that neatens up the stories that the starving one writes. pokes Sayia I've been a bit behind on that lately, so she's been publishing without the sharp grammar corrections of the better-fed of the duo that brings you this story. I'm back, now, though! Hope you all enjoyed it!
