Chapter 1 "New Setting"

Disclaimer: I don't own ATLA characters, just the ones from 2011.

Ok I decided to update anyway if you read from the last chapter. This story will remind you of iCarly, but not for long.

Remember I only had seen a few episodes recently on nicktoons (channel 178 for dish network). Does anyone know if they are on any other channel on dish that comes on at a reasonable time? Also does anyone know any good ZukoxOC stories that are complete?

And I do answer questions along the way about the story, if I think it's a common question I'll answer it in the next chapter if not then I'll send you a message.

This chapter is brought to you by ATLA, these advertisements will get funnier along the way.

Narrator

The gang just got done celebrating their victory. Mostly everyone was outside the house in Ba Sing Sa. It was only Aang, Katara, and Zuko in there.

Aang has been wondering about the future lately. He wonders if he and Katara will live a long and happy life, and grow old with grandchildren, since they just kissed outside.

Then all the sudden there was lightning and sparks. Katara, Aang, and Zuko went into a time warp.

May, 2011 (Washington U.S.)

Zuko's POV

We were somewhere else this place is so strange I can't describe it.

There were huge decorated pieces of metal moving on their own on concrete. But it looked like there were people inside them behind glass.

The people were strange too. Everyone was wearing clothes a little more reveling than what I'm used to.

Aang and Katara had the same look as I did.

Justin's POV (OC)

It's another rainy day for the citizens of Seattle, Washington.

I had to go to the video game store to get the game Halo.

I was an average twenty-three year old boy. Well maybe not average. I recently found out that I can bend fire, that's right fire. No one believed in bending anymore so I just kept it quiet. I even kept it quiet from my sister.

Our parents aren't with us so my sister lives with me in our apartment.

But my sister will find out soon once she realizes that she can bend.

I walked out the store. I may have been hallucinating, but I thought I saw three people and one was very familiar.

"Oh my God", I finally muttered.

I ran up to them.

"Hey you guys look like the people in the legends."

"Legends?" asked the girl with wavy hair same color as my sister's brown curls.

"Yeah you know the legends about bending. It would be weird if you guys could bend but it's only a legend", I acted like they weren't true in case they were just impersonators. I'm not a good actor.

They all looked at each other like I was insane.

"Um what do you mean only legends? I'm the avatar, Avatar Aang. Do you know where we are? "

My eyes were wide now.

"Um come with me to my apartment, and we can figure things out. I think I may know what happened", I told them.

After a few blocks of walking we got to the apartment. I went to the stairs instead of the elevator.

Zuko's POV

Justin unlocked the door and we walked in.

I noticed a girl probably my age. She had dark brown curly hair that went down to her elbows. With full light peachy lips and bright blue eyes. But she didn't look up from something in her lap (A magazine). She looked like a much prettier girl version of her brother, but I wouldn't say that out loud. I didn't even know her. She could be a freak.

"Who did you meet today Justin?" she asked him like it wasn't the first time he brought strangers home.

"I'll explain", he grunted while scrabbling through a box.

We all sat on the couch, even the girl.

We were looking around examining things.

"So what are your names?" she asked.

"Katara", said Katara.

"Zuko", I said.

"Avatar Aang", said Aang.

Her eyes widened. "Ok now I think I know what Justin's doing. I'm Amber by the way", I noticed she had a fire nation name.

"I found it", he exclaimed. He had a scroll in his hand that doesn't look replaceable.

"Here it says that Avatar Aang over threw fire lord Oazi with a spiritual remedy that took away the fire lord's bending, therefore reuniting all four nations. This event took place before the years were starting to count or before Christ", he read.

Amber walked over there to read for herself.

"Aang, Katara, Zuko. Do you realize that you are over 2,000 years ahead of your normal time period?" Amber said with my eyes wide.

Then we stood in silence.

"How are we supposed to get back?" I asked.

"Get back? Let's go explore. . ."

". . . The year 2011", Amber finished for Katara.

"Yeah 2011, let's see what the people are like."

"People are lazier now, and of course with the technology", said Justin.

"Can we go now?" Aang asked.

"No first you need to know what happened in the last 2,000 years so you guys won't have heart attacks when you walk out the door, and it will be late when you know everything", Amber told us.

We followed her up to her room where there was only room for a bed, a couch, a desk, and a small book shelf. She told us how there are over 190 countries in the world now.

And she told us the basic stuff without wasting time and going into detail.

Amber's POV

"Hey Justin have you guys ever wondered if you can bend?" asked Katara when we got out of my room.

"Uh, no I thought bending was just a myth before now", he answered.

"I want to know", I hopped up from the couch and ran into the kitchen.

Everyone followed.

"Ok first let's see if I can bend air."

I punched my fist in the air but fire shot out of my hand.

Everyone flinched.

I sat down on a stool next to the counter.

"You know is it me or did that air seem so warm it kind of looked like fire?"

Everyone started cracking up laughing, except Justin. This must be like really funny humor to them.

"Hey maybe Zuko or Aang could teach you Amber. Maybe even tomorrow, I mean where else do we actually have to be?" said Katara.

"I can't, I have school tomorrow, Justin can I please skip?" I asked.

"Sorry kiddo, you already missed too much school now it will start affecting your grade", he said.

"Maybe when you get off", she tried again.

"I can't either. I promised the class representative that I would help out at the middle school dance tonight. I'm only doing it because she accused me of not having school spirit."

"Hey I know what we can do. You guys will get tired of being stuck in here. Do you guys want me to enroll you in her high school?" asked Justin.

"Sure then we can all get to know each other more", said Zuko.

"And there is only one week of school left after tomorrow", I agreed.

"You guys can also hang out at the middle school dance."

"If we did go to school what will be our story?" asked Aang.

"You guys can be our cousins visiting from Nevada, we used to live there", I said.

"But no offence Zuko but you don't look like your related to them", Aang was worrying again.

"Then he's a family friend, or something", I said.

"Cool I'll call the school", Justin grabbed the home phone. "Oh and you guys should get to bed it's already eleven."

"Ok what are our fake names going to be? I'm sure we don't have common names of this time", asked Aang.

"Can't we just worry about it tomorrow", said Zuko.

"Zack, Andrew, Katherine. You've guys just been named, let's go to sleep", I kept there fake names with the same first initial.

We all took care of the sleeping arrangements.

Katara and Aang slept in my room; I had a couch and a bed in there. So I was stuck with Zuko in the living room. I didn't really care much though, he was a decent guy. I slept on the recliner and he slept on the couch.

It was a normal morning in the cafeteria, waiting for the bell to ring for first hour. Well the only different thing about this morning I wasn't sitting alone.

In order around the round table was Katara- Aang- Me- and Zuko, then back to Katara.

We also got them some normal clothes. I gave Katara a pair of my blue jean shorts and a dark blue shirt. I figured she would still want something blue. Zuko had a black shirt with a white design and black shorts. Aang had a red shirt, some jean shorts, and a hat obviously.

I wore blue jean shorts as well a gray under shirt under my red plaid button down shirt.

"Um are your friends afraid of us or something?" Katara finally asked.

"Oh no, you see Justin thought it would be funny to tell me we were moving. So don't ask how but I made everyone mad at me because I thought I wouldn't see them again. But no we are not moving. There are only a few people that aren't mad at me."

"I found someone that's mad at you, that girl over has been giving you mean looks since we sat down", said Aang.

"Oh her, yeah with her, we have a long back story", he was referring to the girl behind us with fake blonde hair (it was light brown before she dyed It.) and brown eyes

"Well what else do we have to listen to", said Zuko.

Then I saw a guy I had good memories with walk in and sit by her. He has dirty blonde hair, and blue green eyes.

"Ok, that guy that's sitting next to her is my ex-boyfriend and she is my ex-best friend."

"I'm sorry you have to see that", Katara told me.

I forced a smile. "You didn't let me finish. I broke up with him. You see I really knew he had a crush on her and I knew she had a crush on him."

"What are their names?" asked Aang.

"Jodie and Brad", I answered.

Then the bell rang.

They had similar schedules as me. In every hour I had one of them.

1st hour was science. Katara and I sat through a video about what would happen if the moon disappeared or if we never had a moon. I was as interested in it as she was.

As we were walking out of Mr. Henson's science class Katara asked. "How does the maker of the video know that will happen?"

"They don't, they did research and they made a theory that it might happen. Did you know that the moon is getting farther and farther away from Earth? It moves a little bit each day."

We shared a locker; I had room since Jodie moved out. Zuko and Aang shared the one next to us. I had to open both lockers; they didn't fully understand how to unlock lockers.

"Ok let me see your guys' schedules again", I said.

They all handed me three pieces of papers.

"Oh look Zuko, me and you have Gym together next. Aang and Katara, you guys have history; the class room is down the hall on the left."

Then Zuko followed me to the gym. We were late; we didn't have to dress out anymore so we just started class.

"Ok were playing dodge ball, boys vs. girls", announced the coach.

All the boys cheered but the girls groaned, mostly because the girls in my gym class suck at sports against the boys.

"Amber your late", he said to me.

He didn't ask Zuko anything, he just let him hand him a piece of paper to sign.

Then the coach explained the rules again because he's finding that some of the guys are cheating. Which this is good because I doubt Zuko knows how to play.

Then I saw a girl named Hayley go up to coach. "Hey coach let's make a bet, if the girls lose then we have to run." Hayley was making sure the girls try instead of standing in the back and talking. She loved to win.

"No Hayley!" half the girls cried.

"It's on. You girls have to try", said coach then blew the whistle.

Like always we were stuck with one person on the court that didn't care if she won or lost so we were up to running for 10 minutes.

One game we were doing good I almost got Zuko out but he caught it. That just proves that teens 2,000 years ago were more athletic.

By the end of gym the girls had to run for 25 minutes on Monday. Maybe the coach would forget over the weekend.

Then Aang, Zuko, and I had math next. Nothing really happened but when we're walking out Miss Banner stopped me and Aang and Zuko waited in the doorway. Miss Banner was also our volleyball coach.

"Hey Amber are you thinking about joining volleyball again? You really helped us this year."

"I don't know I'll have to think about it", Miss Banner is going to make sure I join.

Forth hour was boring then there was lunch.

We sat at the same table as we did that morning.

Zuko's POV

Amber was kind enough to buy us all something from the snack machine. She said we might not like the school's food.

Then that Jodie girl walked up behind Amber. I poked her to tell her someone was behind her.

"Uh Amber, can I talk to you over by the bathroom?"

Amber let out a lot of air out her nose and got up.

I waited a little bit before I said, "Hey guys I'm going to go to the bathroom."

I stood by a wall but I could hear perfectly. If anyone walked by they would think I would be trying to decide what to get from the snack machine.

"Amber I'm sorry you have to see you ex-boyfriend going out with your former best friend. I wish we can put that behind and still be friends."

Amber chuckled.

"If you were really my friend you would know the girl code. You cannot date your friends ex, everything would be harder. And besides I have new friends."

"You mean your cousins and your new boyfriend friend from Nevada", she said.

"He's not my boyfriend, and I haven't seen them in years and they have been better friends than you've ever been."

"I know he likes you though", she last said.

"Whatever."

I only had a few seconds to get back to the table. She was already considering all of us best friends.

When she sat down Katara asked. "What did she want?"

"Nothing", Amber answered.

Wow nine pages on the first chapter. Tell me how you guys like the plot of this story so far, it's something different. The dance is next chapter! Sorry if stuff doesn't make sense like how did the school let in three kids with no social security number. And two of the kids look like they should be in sixth grade but got accepted into a freshman class.
