Chapter 2
Unexpected Surprises
As Aang walked casually up to Katara, he saw Zuko coming around the bend. Zuko flashed him a look that felt like he was burning holes through Aang. Aang's stomach lurched as he saw Zuko quicken his pace. Aang thought to himself, Two can play at this game. Aang started to walk faster too.
He could already see Katara in the Water Gym with all the other decorators. But wait, she was talking to someone, Who was it and what were they talking about? Aang thought.
It was Jet. The mischievous so called "Freedom Fighters" who tried to kill a whole village by flooding their homes. Jet had been contained in a special center for trouble causing people. He had been released 1 or 2 years ago because everyone said he had changed. Aang was not convinced.
"Yeah. I gotta go, so I'll talk to you later." Jet said trying to act smooth.
"Okay..." Katara said holding her hands in front of her swaying back and forth. She had something in her hands but Aang couldn't tell what it was.
Aang saw Zuko from the corner of his eye and Aang put full view on him when he realized that his jaw was dropped and he was stopped in his tracks. He must of heard the whole conversation.
Aang casually walked up to his friend pretending that he hadn't heard anything. Then he asked, "So who were you talking to back there?"
"Oh, erm, it was just Jet." Katara said cautiously looking down.
"I don't think you should be talking to him. You know what he did." Aang said, "He was never a nice person and I don't believe he ever changed. I'd just steer clear of him for now."
Katara whipped her head up quickly looking surprised. "Now you're trying to tell me how I should and shouldn't hang out with?" Aang was shocked and astounded and didn't know what to say. But Katara kept going. "Yeah, I know what he did. But that was years ago Aang. He's gotten help and you haven't even talked to him since then. How should you know anything. And for your information, I am going with him to the dance." Katara flipped her hair and briskly walked away.
Aang stood in the middle of the gym stunned. Then, Zuko walked over. He had obviously been listening to the whole conversation.
"I can't believe it..." Zuko said, "Why, in the world, would she ever go with him. Does she not realize how much buffer and cooler I am. Especially much more buffer."
Aang looked at Zuko with a questing face. Was that not the oddest thing he said? I mean really, he's always gotta be "buffer". He really needs to learn a few things. Aang thought.

Aang found Sokka his room. Aang was still shocked about what happened. What did he do that got her so mad? He just didn't understand.
"Hey, Aang. What's up? Did you ask Katara? What did she say?" Sokka asked with and eager look on his face.
"She thinks I'm a babbling idiot." Aang said getting mad, "She's going with Jet..." Aang said under his breath.
"WHAT!? SHE'S GOING WITH JET!? THAT'S MADNESS!? HOW COULD SHE GO WITH THAT, THAT, DOORKNOB!? Sokka screamed.
"I don't know. But I just told her that she shouldn't hang out with him because you never know what he could do." Aang said.
"Aang, Aang, Aang, you don't know much, do you?" Aang looked up at Sokka surprised. "Well, not like that, but about girls. You have to tell them what they want to hear. Something like 'Your hair looks great.', 'Nice outfit.'" Sokka tried to act cool and he pointed his fingers at Aang like guns and winked one eye and made a clicking sound like he was calling an Ostrich Horse. "Telling them what to do, that's a horrible idea. They get really mad. Okay."
"Okay then..." Aang said, "And..." Aang was about to talk until he was interrupted.
"Hey guys." Jet hap appeared in the doorway.
