Yep, got 2 chapters done in one day. I don't own Avatar, or the movie would have been a little better, besides the beginning, Zhao's rant on Zuko in front of Zuko and the last ten minutes of the movie.

16 YEARS LATER…

Water flooded the training area. The master and her pupil were sparring. Very few gray hairs were on the master's head, showing her age from previous stress from a life of war. Her pupil's green eyes showed only innocence, not possibly knowing anything of war or death. Both were starring the other down, waiting for a reaction. The pupil reacted first with a basic water whip then icicles that were sharpened. The master countered, throwing back the whip, melting the icicles and tripping her pupil.

"Kali, you've completed all that I will teach you. You just have to learn to stay on your feet." The master said, pulling the younger woman up.

"Aunt Katara, can you teach me bloodbending next month? I want to learn." The pupil asked, again for the fifth time this month.

"Kali-"

"I know; you have only used it in dire need and will not teach the savage style. But how can I truly be a master without that?" Kali interrupted disrespectfully.

Katara's brow dropped in irritation. Kali was being childish again.

"This is the last time I will tell you. It is something no one should know. Stop asking!" and with that said, she stormed off.

The brown haired girl stood there, arms crossed. Her aunt was being selfish for not teaching her. She was her niece right? She walked back to her mother's house. She knew that her brother's were coming home from their first fishing trip this spring, and they would need help moving it from the boat to the shops.

She knew she was special; she was the only bender from her family since her aunt. It was odd to think that both her parents were not benders. Her uncle was the Avatar. How could her cousins not be benders? That fact had caused the girl's ego to grow through out her short 15, no, 16 years. She knew that her aunt was trying to break that habit, but her aunt was old fashioned.

KATARA walked back to the house she shared with her sons and her retired father. They had moved to Kyoshi from the Southern Water Tribe after the accident because of the only family living there, and her father's joints were giving out from all the years of fighting. Living here wasn't bad though. She worked as the island's healer and her youngest boy, Anil, was starting to help shops in the main part of the village. Gyatso was off at the Air Temples trying to make a book of the Air Nomads with some professors from Ba Sing Se.

How the time passed. She was now thirty-seven. She started counting the gray hairs a year ago. Yet her sister-in-law had none. Gyatso told her that she had gray hairs because she was wise, but Anil told her the reason for the gray was from dealing with Kali too much. Anil was cleaning the mess from a vase that fell apart from water pushing at the sides for the rest of the afternoon.

"Mother, I got Kali's birthday present wrapped for you." Anil said, showing her the scrolls.

"Um, thanks Anil. You didn't have to." she spoke, unsure what else was wrapped sitting next to her son, "What did you get her?"

An evil grin appeared, as he spoke, "Something special."

He expected the eyebrow to rise, "It's a new water pouch from the Tribe, but I put some of grandpa's 'stink 'n' sink' in it."

"No wonder it smells in here. I'd prefer that you would take the 'stink 'n' sink' out of the pouch." She turned to the living area, and gave the elder man the same look.

"What? It's perfect, and he needs to learn how to carry the Chieftain's tradition in case something happens to Kaskae and Aningen." Hakoda grinned.

She could only smile after wards, "Well I'm glad that one of your grandsons has taken after their Avatar father. I would go crazy if they all pulled pranks."

Festival lights lined the streets of Kyoshi for Kali's 16th birthday. The warriors were getting ready for the presentation of their former captain's daughter. The sound of laughter and the smell of food was everywhere. Suki was busy taking with the new chief, but stopped when the sages came down. She then knew what was up. Others didn't notice until she hushed them.

"Chief, Captain Suki," the sages greeted them with a bow, "We've come down from our temple from the Southern Earth Kingdom. We would like to present the new Avatar."

They turned to face Kali, "All hail Avatar Kali!"

Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime? Katara sighed. She had taught another one.
