It was midday and much warmer now. Aang had just finished his waterbending practice with Katara, and would soon start earthbending once again with Toph. To tell the truth, Aang was quite tired with all the training and running around all the time. He kind of wished he could just settle someplace. He really never wanted to be the Avatar.
He couldn't accept the fact that he really never could fall in love with somebody because of his occupation. I wanted to be normal, He thought, and looked over at Sokka once more. Sokka was doing pull ups on a nearby branch, grunting with each pull because of the heavy workout. Aang looked at him dreamily and sighed. I can't be with him, He thought. Besides, if I told him how I felt, he'd think I'd be crazy or something…
Aang sighed, once again, and sniffed a little, either because he was a little sad about all these depressing thoughts, and the fact that the morning cold had gotten him a little bit sick. He felt a little bit dizzy in the head, which Katara quickly noticed.
"Aang…" She said softly, walking towards him after she had just finished her daily 5-hour waterbending workout. (She wanted to keep her 'phisique' and 'skills' as a master waterbender). Aang looked up over at her. She put her hand over his forehead to feel if he had a fever. "You don't look too good," Looking at him with her motherly eyes. "Do you feel sick at all?"
He was too tired to deny or argue at this time. "I am a little bit," He said, fixing his position so he could lay back on the grass, but couldn't quite do that without looking awkward next to his bison. "I just need a little sleep."
"Your temperature is very high," Katara said, standing up from her knelt position. Several yards away, Sokka was just finishing his own workout on the branch of the tree, and he jumped down with another grunt. "I did 40. 40!" He exclaimed proudly, wiping the sweat off his brow with his wrist. "I swear, I'm getting stronger every day." He made his hands into fists and placed them on his waist in a heroic-like position as he looked to the sky. "Somebody, I'll be good as any great water tribe warrior!"
Aang blushed. Even hearing his voice gives me the chills, He thought as he stood up, but fell down again because of his dizziness. "Aang!" Katara yelled, running towards him. Aang didn't care. He wasn't up to struggling to get up today. He had so much on his mind, with the summer slowly slipping by, him still needing to learn the elements, and of course, his secret love was obviously not interested in him.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Katara began barraging him with questions as she lifted him up.
"What happened to twinkle toes?" Toph said, coming from her earthbending practice ("Like I even NEED any, though,") "Trip over your own feet?"
Katara gave her a kind of serious look as she continued to help Aang up on Appa. "We need to find some place to give him medicine," She said, as she readied herself at the reins. "Toph, Sokka, get up here, we need to find some kind of medicinal place nearby," And with that, they took off.
