Hey, hey, hey! Thank you to anyone who is reading this! Okay. We've made it to Chapter Two, but for some reason my brain keeps thinking that it's chapter three already. Shut up, brain. Well, shut up left side of my brain. Please?
Me: Do yo' thing, Disclaima!

Me: *Sobs* 'S Okay...
Chapter One Flashback!
Aang's burn looked worse than before, and was in a lot of pain. Katara took the towel back out of his mouth, and through his teeth, he said, "What...Is wrong...With...The elements.."
Flashback Complete!
Chapter Two
The group of kids stood in line to check in to a hotel. Katara walked next to Toph, making sure she wouldn't run into people, since the floor was thickly carpeted, and her earthbending hadn't seemed to be working well outside anyway. Toph walked between Katara and Sokka, who had a burnt up, weak Aang on his back. Aang tried, but couldn't walk. The burns were too bad and painful, so Sokka ended up having to carry him. They both hated it.
The hotel was busy, the line long. Sokka, Katara, Aang, and Toph had been waiting in line for almost half an hour now, and they were finally second to last. Toph but her hair up neatly, trying to look innocent, Katara stood up straighter, Sokka pulled out his wallet, and Aang shut his eyes. As the people in front of them in line left, they stepped up to the counter.
"One room, four beds, please," Sokka said. The man at the check in counter looked each of them over. "You must be over eighteen to check in for yourself, kid." Sokka glanced over at Katara, and she took the hint. "My wife and I are over eighteen," he said, pulling Aang up higher on his back as he was slipping down." "Oww..." he moaned. "Yes," said Katara. "So could we please get a room? We and our kids need a place to stay."
The woman looked over Sokka and Katara, then Aang and Toph. Finally, she said, "Sure. That'll be 500 for one room, one night. Pay for another night tomorrow or leave by noon." Sokka paid the woman, then handed his bags to Katara. She glared at him. "Hey, I have to carry him, you have to carry my stuff," Sokka said. Katara found it fair enough and continued to the stairs.
Heading up the first steps, the sleeping Aang kept slipping off of Sokka's back, and Sokka continued pulling him back up. But when they reached the middle of the stairway, Sokka slipped on the front of a step, and fell backwards, Aang slipping off of his back onto the stairs, Sokka landing on top of him. Aang woke up yelling out in pain. Katara flew around and grabbed Sokka's wrists, pulling him up with some trouble.
"Aang!" she said. "Are you okay?" Aang tried to airbend himself onto his feet, but only a tiny breeze blew against him. "No," he said. "Are you hurt?" Katara asked. "Obviously," Sokka said. "You know what I meant." Aang tried bending again, only to end once more in failure. "It's not that..." They all looked at him, confused. Then Katara asked, "Then what's wrong?" Aang used most of his strength to sit up, the burns hurting badly as he did. Then, he looked at Katara sadly, and said, "I can't airbend."
Bum, bum, bummmm! Will they find out what's up with the elements? Will Aang begin to heal? Will they ever make it up the stairs? Find out in the next chapter!
Please review, good or bad, it doesn't matter, just please review.
Sorry this chapter was so short.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Opening Sequence Dialogue:
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, and Airbender named Aang. And although his airbending is great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Doo, doo doo, doo!
