Hey! I'm sorry if I offended anyone in my last chapter. The "Asians Rule" part was from the kids opinion. Sorry if it made you mad! Enjoy the next chapter!

Chapter Two: The Dream

Sakura decided to explore this "new world" for a while. She went back to the pond were the funny looking ducks were. As she sat there, a young boy ran up to her. "Hey! You're new around here aren't you? I haven't seen you before!" he said cheerfully. Sakura nodded. "Yes, today is my first day being here. Sadly I don't have any money though, and I'm getting hungry. I would hate to eat one of these cute duckies." The little boy laughed. "You don't have to eat a turtle duck! They don't taste good anyway! Come on you can come to my house! My mom doesn't mind!" He started to pull on her arm.

Sakura got up and grabbed her glider. The boy cocked his head to one side. "What is that for? You walk just fine!" Sakura had to think of a good lie. "UH it's my grandfather's! I take it everywhere with me!" she finally said. The boy gave a small nod. "It looks like an Airbender stick! Was your grandfather an Airbender? But that can't be because the Airbenders were monks! And besides, the only Airbender left is the Avatar and he is only twelve years old! Did he find it?" Sakura had to think over what she had just heard. "Yeah! He found it near the Airbender's temple?"

The little boy nodded. "That makes since. The Airbender's temple is hard to get to though; he must have found it in the mountains while at war." Sakura just nodded. She had to find out more about this world! The two started to walk towards the village. "So, how long has the war been going on again?" she asked. The boy just stared at her. "I uh forgot." She added nervously. "Well, I was told that one hundred years ago, the Fire Nation attacked all the other nations. The Earth, Water and Air nations fought back. The Air Nation was wiped out and the Avatar disappeared. The Fire Nation has been slowly winning the war ever since then. Now that the Avatar is back, I think that we still have a chance."

Sakura had to think about this too. "Ok so there are four nations. Water, Earth, Fire and Air. The Air Nation was killed out early in the war, which has been going for one hundred years. The Avatar is the only Airbender left. But what does the Avatar do? And if only Airbenders can use the gliders, then what am I? I can control water, most likely like the Water Nation. I can move rocks like the Earth Nation. I can shoot fire like the Fire Nation. I can control the glider like the Air Nation. What would they call me? Am I an Avatar? Is that what an Avatar is? One who can control all elements? I need to find out!"

By now, the two were at the boy's house. "Mommy! Mommy! We have a visitor! She just got here and she has no money! Her name is…uh…" he cheerfully said. "Sakura, my name is Sakura. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. I have a lot to think about right now." "Oh sorry for being rude. My name is Tatsuya!" the little boy, whose name was Tatsuya, said.

The mother of Tatsuya smiled. "Come Sakura, I will give you something to eat." Sakura hesitated. "Please come in! I don't mind giving you food. Tell me what is on your mind that has made you hesitate like this." Tatsuya's mother added. Tatsuya gave Sakura a pleading look and it broke Sakura's heart. Finally, she followed the two inside the house.

The house was roomy and Sakura felt right at home. She immediately started to think of her brother at home by himself. Was he ok? Is he hurt? Will he get hurt? Sakura pushed all the bad thoughts away and focused on coming up with a few lies about what had happened to her. "So tell me Sakura, what has happened to you? Why are you here?" Tatsuya's mother asked. Sakura jumped. "Well, my family is…they have all left me. My brother is too young to go to war but they took him anyway. My father was injured during battle and can no longer bend. He now makes weapons for the Earth and Water Nations. He was taken away to war again. My mother…she was killed. It was an accident. It was to late to save her though." Sakura paused and a fake tear ran down her cheek.

" I ran away from home. I couldn't live by myself for long, it just got to lonely. I sent a letter to my father and brother and told them what I was going to do. The next day, I left. Yesterday as I was traveling, I was robbed. Everything I had was taken. Everything that is, except for my staff here. I never go anywhere without it. It was my grandfather's. He found it while at war. I think it belonged to an Airbender."

Sakura tried hard not to smile. She was having a hard time lying to these nice people. Tatsuya looked sympathetic. "I'm so sorry Sakura. I didn't know you were going through such a hard time. I wouldn't have been so cheery had I known." Sakura gave him a reassuring smile. "It's ok Tatsuya, you made me feel better!" Tatsuya grinned. Tatsuya's mother soon went to cook the children a meal. While she was away, Sakura asked Tatsuya about everything. She told the young boy that she h forgotten everything while she was going through the hard times that she had just experienced.

Through Tatsuya, Sakura learned many things about he four nations. To her disappointment, Tatsuya hadn't learned too much more about the Avatar than he had already told her. Tatsuya's mother, whose name was Ai, then handed them their food.

"Thanks mom!" Tatsuya grinned and Sakura nodded. Ai smiled and went to eat her food. Sakura looked at her food. It looked normal. In fact, it looked really good! She began to eat it. It tasted a lot like one of her favorite foods! She shoveled down the rest without another thought. When she finished, Tatsuya was staring at her. In his mind he was thinking, "She must be really hungry!"

Sakura enjoyed her time with the family. They offered to let her stay the night and she gladly accepted. There was an extra room and she stayed in there. Before she knew it, she was drifting off to sleep.

"Sakura! Sakura! You must hurry and open your eyes! I have some news for you!" a mysterious voice said. Sakura opened her eyes and was surprised to see that she wasn't in the spare room anymore. In front of her was a tall man. Part of his hair was up and he had a long, white beard. His robe was red. He looked oddly familiar. Sakura stood there not sure what she should do. The man beckoned her over and she slowly walked over. "Sakura, I am Avatar Roku. Have you ever heard of me?" Sakura shook her head. "The name sounds familiar sir but I'm not sure why."

The man named Roku nodded. "I am apart of you, you are apart of me. That is why I have heard of you and you know my name. Listen Sakura; I have little time to explain this. You must listen carefully in order to understand." Sakura nodded. She wasn't sure what to think of this man. Before he had a chance to start, she asked him, "Sir what is an Avatar? I learned when I first came to this world but it seems that no one can give me a straight answer. Since you are an Avatar, I was wondering if you could tell me." Roku laughed. "Yes Sakura, I am an Avatar. Aang, who is the new Avatar, is apart of both of us. Believe it or not, but you are an Avatar too. I will explain:"

"Long ago, one of the former Avatars was a twin. At first many people didn't think it was possible. This Avatar and his sister were both Avatars. They both had the same spirit in them; it had just split and gone into two separate people. The male and older twin mastered all elements before his sister. She became angry that she couldn't get it as fast. Then one day, she found that she could do everything her brother could. She was stronger than her brother. It had been years since her brother had mastered the four elements. When he had mastered them, she couldn't even control anything. She struggled and many people started to believe that she wasn't an Avatar. When the day came when she could do everything that her brother could and more, her brother became angry. He said that there was no way that it would just come to her like it had. They fought for hours but no one could win. Finally, the sister left, never to see her brother again. It was said that she took her purple staff and a bag and vanished. People started to believe that her brother had either banished her or had killed her. Unable to find the truth, the people soon forgot about the twin of their Avatar. Her story soon became just a myth. She was forgotten and right before that Avatar died, he said to the people "find my sister" These were his last words. The people didn't believe that he had a sister and soon forgot that they were told to find her. Only the wisest benders knew that she had existed. They knew that she hadn't been killed. They knew that she had come across a strange object one day. It was said that she was transported into another world, one that had no connection to ours. She became that connection. I believe that you are her incarnate. You have the same staff and he same mysterious thing that helped get away from this world. Sakura, you are she!"

Sakura had to take all of this info in. She started to sort through it like crazy. "But you never told me what an Avatar is! I understand now who I was in a past life but I don't know what I am now!" she said. Roku nodded. "I am sorry. I will tell you now. The Avatar is the spirit of the planet incarnate. In other words, the Avatar is the Planet Spirit in human form. The Avatar alone masters all four elements and maintains world order. When an Avatar dies, he is reincarnated in to the next element in the cycle. The cycle is Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Each element mirrors the cycle of the seasons. Water is the winter season. Earth is spring and Fire is summer. The Air element is fall. There is only one Avatar, but in this case, there were two at one time. This is how we are apart of each other. We are all the same person, just in different stages of that reincarnated life. I am dead, Aang is learning, and you know it. All you have to do is master it! I believe your former life was sent away for a reason and that you were sent here for a reason. Aang needs help, and I think you can be the one to help him."

Sakura stood in shock. "I understand sir but how am I supposed to help him?" she asked. "Master your newly found powers. You know how to do everything, you just need practice." Roku replied. Sakura nodded. "Will you be able to help me Avatar Roku?" Roku shook his head. "You see this place? It is the Spirit world. I cannot leave this place. During the solstice I could contact people but not now. Only you and Aang can talk to me, but you have to be in a spiritual place first. I'm sure you will find another way to talk to me."

"I will try." Sakura said. "Now go Sakura, find Aang. He is currently on his way to the Northern Water Tribe with his friends, Katara and Sokka. There he will learn water bending. You must be careful. Traveling isn't always easy. Many people will turn into your enemies on your journey. This is where I must let you go. Sakura, I know you can do this! I will talk to you another time…"

Everything started spinning and Sakura felt herself lift. She had no idea what was happening. Then she dropped and opened her eyes…

Sakura flung up in her bed. Tatsuya and Ai were standing there, they both looked worried. "Just a dream…but it had to be real. It was real! I can feel it!" she thought. "Sakura, are you ok? Your eyes were glowing and so was your stomach. It had a mark on it, but I can't tell what it was." Ai said. Sakura just sat there; she didn't know what to say. They had found out her secret!
