I would like to thank .cake for being the first person to review. catstop for wanting to see where this story goes.
And I would really like to give a special thanks to Kiwiguy2010 for all the constructive criticism he has given me. Oh and I was going to make her eyes spiritually special, not genetics for thanks for realizing that! I didn't know that the female and male monks were separated, so thanks for that little bit of information.
Another round of thanks to those who have favorited and put this story on their alert list.
"What?" Nalina asked when he said that for the tenth time when they finally made it back to the temple and his room.
"I already told you, I'm the Avatar!" Aang shouted.
"I know,but it's, hard to take in..." Nalina sighed with patience.
"Hard to take in? You're not the one dealing with it!" Aang glared at her.
"I know, but still, my best friend is the Avatar!" Nalina waved her hands at Aang.
"I know, I still don't believe it." Aang's gray eyes lowered to the ground and he sat indian style on his carpet.
"I can." Nalina smiled at him.
"How?" Aang asked.
"You're the best twelve year old airbender around! I think that should give you a clue." Nalina smiled at him.
"Nali..." Aang only shook his head but gave a small laugh.
"Gotcha to laugh!" Nalina pointed at Aang dramatically, earning a longer laugh.
"What would I do without you Nali?" Aang asked shaking his head.
"You would slowly die on the inside from all the boringness of the temple." Nalina held her hands in front of her face and waved her fingers around and said it with a joking scaring voice.
"Ahem." An ancient voice that held wisdom cleared their throat at Aang's door.
"Master Gyatso." Aang and Nalina shot up and put their fist to their hand and bowed before the elder.
"It's not that boring is it?" The elder asked with a raise white eyebrow.
Nalina and Aang just looked at each other and looked back him.
"I didn't mean to offend you." Nalina started.
"But it is kind of boring here when your only friends consit of a flying bison and of course, Nalina." Aang cut in with a joking smile.
"Aang! I am shocked that you would say such a thing about me!" Nalina mockingly put her hand on her chest and dramatically turned away from the laughing Avatar.
Gyatso, Aang, and Nalina all erupted in laughter at the childishness.
"I'm sorry to stop you're talk but it's almost curfew." Gyatso smiled sadly at the kids who hung their heads.
"Thanks for reminding me Master Gyatso." Nalina gave him the formal bow, nodded to Aang, and walked out of his room and down the long hallways and staricases to the monk women's part of the temple.
Nalina wasn't paying much attention to where she was going and a door opened in front of her. She managed to catch herself before she ran into it though.
"Did you hear? Nalina is supposedly suppose to be a waterbender instead of an airbender!" The familiar voice of the long ivory haired woman giggled.
Nalina froze and immediatly pressed herself against the wall.
"How did you hear that?" Her friend asked just as giggly.
"It's not polite to gossip about those when their ears are open." Nalina said coldy as she revealed herself from behind the door.
"Nalina!" The women jumped back in shock.
"Just because I'm different doesn't mean anything, I'm just like you. The only differences are the physical attributes we have. You, Aling, you have white hair while most of us have dark brown. Meling you can't airbend. So why must you gossip about me when I don't care how you look like?" Nalina told them and walked off with her question hanging in the air.
