Appa swiftly flew over a vast stretch of water. So far, the gang had ridden on the rabbit-bears on Jun Li Island, hung around with the ostrich-sloths and run from the tiger-bears in the Kitala Rainforest.

Now they were searching for giant Koi fish. Sokka gazed at the map, turning it upside-down to try and comprehend it. 'You have no idea where you're going, do you, Aang?' he finally threw the map down in defeat.

'Well… I know it's near water…'

As if on cue, both Sokka and Zuko looked out over their surroundings – water as far as the eye could see. 'I guess we're getting close, then.' said Sokka.

'Look at it this way, the Fire Nation still doesn't know Aang's returned, so they won't be tracking us. And even if they were, it will be almost impossible, because we've been darting around.' Zuko countered.

'How can you be so sure the Fire Nation doesn't know?' said Katara, somewhat hostile. 'You may trust your uncle, but do you trust your whole crew to keep quiet?'

'I doubt they saw anything. Even so, Uncle is good at stopping gossip spread.' Katara sighed and returned to stitching Sokka's pants.

'Hey, Katara!' Aang shouted, trying to break the boredom. 'Check out this airbending trick!' Aang had somehow gotten a marble, and spun it round, using airbending.

'That's great, Aang.' she said, coldly, not even looking up.

'You didn't even look…' Aang deflated, stopping the marble.

She stopped, and looked up. 'That's great!'

'But I'm not doing it now…'

'Stop bugging her, airhead. You need to give girls space when they do their sewing.' Sokka hit a special note, which flicked something in Katara's head.

'What does me being a girl have to do with sewing?' Katara looked at her obnoxious brother dangerously. Anyone else would have sensed that this was the time to stop, like Zuko – who carefully edged out from next to Sokka, and hid besides Aang.

'Simple. Girls are better at fixing pants than guys, and guys are better at hunting, fighting, stuff like that.' Katara got a dangerous look in her eyes.

As it was, Katara just used her sarcasm, not her waterbending. 'All done with your pants, and look what a great job I did!' She flung them at her brother, who found they still had a massive hole.

'Wait, Katara, I was just kidding, I can't wear these!' Sokka blathered on.

'Don't you think you should intervene?' Zuko whispered to Aang.

'I guess. Relax, Sokka! Where we're going, you won't need any pants!'

* Scene change *

Finally, they arrived at the island of Kyoshi, where the giant Koi fish were supposed to be swimming at this time of year. Well, they found the Koi fish, and then found an even bigger fish.

Then, they were captured by some local warriors, and were now tied to something hard and unforgiving.

An elderly-sounding man spoke. 'You four have some explaining to do.'

A female added: 'And if you don't answer all our questions, we're throwing you back in the water with the Unagi.'

'Show yourselves, cowards!' Sokka demanded. Their blindfolds were ripped off, and they saw a group of women, and a man who looked to be the elder of the village. 'Who are you? Where are the men who ambushed us?'

The female from before laughed. 'There were no men, we ambushed you. Now, why were you agitating the Unagi?'

'It's my fault.' said Aang. 'I'm sorry we came here. I wanted to ride the elephant Koi.'

'How do we know you're not Fire Nation spies? He looks very Fire Nation.' the man pointed at Zuko accusingly. 'Kyoshi've stayed out of the war so far, and we intend to keep it that way.'

Suddenly, Aang perked up. 'This island is named for Kyoshi? I know Kyoshi!'

The elder laughed, a deep, hearty laugh. 'Ha! How could you possibly know her? Avatar Kyoshi was born here four hundred years ago, she's been dead for centuries.'

'I know her because I'm the Avatar.' Aang leapt out of the ropes, and in one smooth move, sliced his binds and showed off a cool bit of airbending. The villagers went 'ooh' and 'aah' as Aang spun his marble around again, hoping to impress.

'It's true, you are the Avatar.'

* Scene skip *

Aang was being constantly followed by adoring fangirls – they were him all over the island. Sokka had disappeared off somewhere in a manly crisis, and Zuko was stuck helping Katara shop.

'What is it about girls and shopping?' he grumbled, adjusting the heavy basket.

'Shut up, you. I'll need your measurements when we're done here, though.'

'Measurements? For what?'

'Clothes. You'll see, it's a surprise.'

At that moment, Aang ran past them, followed by what seemed like every young girl on the island. 'Hi Katara! Hi Zuko!' he shouted as he ran past.

Zuko waved back, whereas Katara ignored him. 'What's your problem?' Zuko asked.

'Nothing. No problem.'

'Well, don't you think we should help him?'

'He's the Avatar. I'm sure he's got it covered.' They finally began walking back to where they were staying, Katara made Zuko carry all their supplies inside, and then shooed him away.

* Da da-da-da! *

On the docks, a little girl rushed up to her Uncle, Huah. 'Uncle, did you hear? The Avatar's on Kyoshi!'

Uncle Huah travelled to a small market town, to his friend Sho, who bought all his fish. 'The Avatar's on Kyoshi.' he said. And just like that, the news spread like a virus, until finally it reached the ears of Iroh and his crew. Almost immediately, Zhin sent a messanger hawk to Commander Zhao, who set sail for the unfortunate island of Kyoshi.

* Pay attention to MEEEE *

When Aang finally returned home, Katara was sitting, sewing once more.

'Katara… Remember how the Unagi almost caught me yesterday?'

'Yeah.'

'Well, I'm gonna go ride it now. It's gonna be real dangerous.'

'Good for you.'

'You're not gonna stop me?'

'Nope. Now can you leave me alone? I want to concentrate on this.' she stitched the pants and set them down and began work on the tunic.

'Alright, see you later. If I survive.' Aang slammed the door for effect, and took off for the Unagi, and the crowd of giggling fangirls who waited for him.

* Fight! *

Zhao and his lackeys rode down the gangplank, 'I want the Avatar alive.' he growled to his inferiors.

They reached the village without being challenged. Zhao sat in the middle of the high street and shouted 'Come out, Avatar. You can't hide forever!'

Zuko and Katara saw them from their room. 'Here, wear this!' she thrust earth nation clothes into his waiting arms.

'What's this?'

'A disguise. I thought it would be better if you looked like you were from the Earth Nation, because then people will be more trusting.'

'Alright. Thanks.' He began pulling on the clothes, while Katara went to retrieve Aang.

Rhinos began prowling through the streets, and were suddenly pounced upon by the Kyoshi Warriors, and Sokka. They knocked Zhao off his Rhino, and had him cornered, three against one.

Katara and Aang suddenly appeared, and Aang shouted to get the Fire Nation's attention, while the warriors, Sokka and Zuko fought them off.

'Looking for me?' challenged Aang.

'Yes.' Aang quickly defeated Zhao, by knocking him into a building. 'Sokka! Zuko! Let's get out of here!'

Zhao was not, as Aang had thought, unconscious. Zhao heard Zuko's name shouted, and managed to pull himself out of the ruins in time to see a slight youth with a large facial scar hurrying towards Appa.

'Notify the Fire Lord immediately. Tell him: 'His son is alive.''


So, another chapter done. I may skip chapters, or merge some together, if I think that a random filler episode such as 'the Great Divide' or 'the Waterbending Scroll' alone doesn't warrant a full chapter due to the fact that after a while my writing may become boring and repetitive if I force myself to do EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

Plus, I apologise for this chapter being so late. My only excuse is that I have not been able to get on the internet at all in the past week because my BT Home Hub decided to screw up. Thanks a lot, BT!

So, please review, comment, etc?

Thank you,
