Hi guys! It's been a while XD, I was reading through old stories and yikes was I a bad writer haha. I had written this chapter halfway through and decided to come back and finish it!

I hope you guys like it!

Aang got home and after eating dinner and tucking Lin into bed, he went to help his Uncle Gyatso clean the kitchen. Gyatso had been kind enough to move in with Aang after Katara's death to help raise Lin, as he knew the struggle of being a single father. He didn't mind either, he loved Lin like his own child, and helped raise her in a refined way that Aang wouldn't have been able to carry out on his own. Needless to say Aang was grateful for Gyatso.

Although in this moment he was having a hard time maintaining the same attitude as he tried to pitch yet another woman to him. He appreciated the effort he really did, although Aang knew that it was unlikely he would find anyone he loved as much as Katara. Either way he had Lin, and that was the most important girl in his life.

Gyatso was simply worried, worried that Aang would end up alone, and filled with sadness which he had been putting off in order to raise Lin.

"You know," he started "the neighbors that moved in next door, she's single."

"Wow that's great," Aang said faking enthusiasm.

"Yeah you know. Just thought i'd tell. She's very pretty too, her name is Meng, I saw her eyeing you when you were getting the mail, she seems to have taken quite an interest in you."

"Uncle, i don't want to get date anyone."

"I just want you to love someone again Aang, what will you do when Lin leaves for college? Sit alone in this house with your thoughts?"

"All I know is that you love once, and i've had my share for this lifetime. Plus Netflix updates their shows more often than you'd think so there's always that going for me."

Gyatso sighed ending the conversation there.

Lin on the other hand, barely slept a wink, she set all of of the alarm clocks to 12am so she'd be able to open her presents. Well more like one present in particular. Her mother's letters. They were the highlight of her year, being able to open it, made her feel like her mother was with her on her special day. Her dad would always tell her that her mom would be in her heart whenever she needed her, but the letters were something that was hers, only hers. Not a day went by when she wouldn't think of her mother. Her dad always told her stories of how brave and kind she was, and how she gave up her life so that she could have her own. She aspired to be like her in every way. She would be receiving the final one on her birthday tomorrow, and she was beyond excited.

Katara had written in her last letter that she'd have a special request of her if she chose to carry it out. She had no idea what it was but the suspense had been killing her since she laid her hands on that letter. Her thoughts were interrupted as she finally heard the alarm on her phone begin to ring as the clock struck 12.

Her eyes widened in excitement and a grin started to creep its way onto her face as she exclaimed "Happy Birthday to me!"

Lin bolted downstairs and carefully moved aside the boxes that were gift wrapped and set on the table. She would of course be grateful for any, and everything she got, but there was one thing that couldn't be bought or replaced. She smiled as she picked up the last of her mother's letter. Lin moved to the couch and got comfortable, already being able to tell that this letter was one of at least ten pages. She excitedly tore open the envelope and she began to read.

Aang is literally me on a daily basis with Netflix XD. Sorry it was kind of short but the next chapter is going to be pretty long. Please review and let me know what you guys think! Thanks for reading!
