Danny sat at the edge of the clearing and waited for Aang, Katara, Sokka and a girl he didn't know that he guessed was Suki to wake up. He wasn't tired. He'd been dead for almost a year and a half. So that wasn't too surprising. He was starting to get hungry which Danny guessed was to be expected since he was living. Since he wasn't going to get any sleep, he'd decided to keep the fire going, collect firewood and fill up everyone's canteens. He would have prepared a breakfast for everyone too but he never learned how to cook and he didn't want to overstep. To even find the food, he'd have to search their belongings which Danny wasn't comfortable doing.

So instead, he sat on the edge of the camp and explored his abilities. They hadn't changed at all since he'd died. He could still form ice, fly, turn intangible and invisible. However he'd also discovered something. He could change his appearance. He could shift his being from his living body to his spirit form. In his spirit form, his bending was even stronger. In his living form, Danny could form a frost over things whereas in his spirit form, he could freeze things solid. It was taking a little getting used to that whenever he saw his reflection now, he wasn't a white haired teen with glowing green eyes. He was now a dark haired teen with natural pale blue eyes.

He looked up as he saw Katara sit up. She yawned and stretched. She crawled out of her sleeping bag and rolled it up before she frowned at the fire. She glanced at Aang and scowled, clearly confused. Danny shuffled around the tree he was sitting against. He didn't want Katara or the others to see him before Aang woke up to help him explain. Danny understood that this wouldn't be easy for them to accept. He'd been dead for a long time and now he was back. Danny still wasn't sure about telling them but he knew that Aang was right. They'd need help and Sokka was really smart. He was pretty good with maps too. He might be able to figure out if a spiritual temple or something might be something Vlad would work to.

He listened as Katara got ready for the day, muttering in confusion at the filled canteens and even a pot of water Danny had fetched for them. By the time Katara had started preparing the group's breakfast, Suki had woken up and gotten ready too.

"Morning Suki. Sleep well?" Katara greeted the other girl.

"Yeah, you?" Suki replied. Katara nodded.

"Yeah, Aang had a bad dream or something though. Woke me up when I heard him putting wood on the fire. He must have collected some more last night and he collected water too," Katara informed her. Suki sat down beside Katara and began to help her with the food.

"Wow, must have been some dream if he was freaked out that much. But he looks fine now," Suki commented and glanced at Aang who was still sleeping with Appa. Katara nodded, following Suki's gaze.

"I just hope that he wasn't up all night. He must have just gotten back to sleep. The fire looked like it had just been tended when I woke up," Katara muttered. Suki frowned.

"Morning!" Sokka called as he crawled out of his sleeping bag and joined them. Suki smiled at him and stood up to kiss him on the cheek.

"Shh! Aang didn't get much sleep last night. I think we should let him sleep in and leave in a few hours instead of first thing like we planned," Katara hissed at her brother. Sokka frowned.

"He's looks pretty well rested to me," he commented and the three friends turned to see the avatar stretching and getting to his feet. Katara scowled. She got up and walked over to him.

"Aang? Are you alright? Did you get back to sleep last night?" Katara asked worriedly. Aang frowned at her and nodded.

"Yeah, I did like I said I would. I went for a walk and when I came back I managed to get back to sleep," Aang answered and rubbed the sleep from his eye. Katara scowled at him and gestured to the fire.

"Then how did all that firewood end up there and how come all our canteens were filled before I woke up?" Katara demanded. Aang frowned and shrugged. But then he spotted Danny peeking around a tree and wave awkwardly. Aang smiled.

"Oh, right. Now I understand. It wasn't me Katara," Aang realised.

Katara frowned in confusion.

"Then who was it? Everyone else was asleep," Katara wondered aloud. Aang shook his head.

"I met a friend in the woods last night. They came back with me and obviously couldn't sleep," Aang explained.

"A friend?" Sokka repeated. Aang nodded.

"Aang, there's no one else here," Katara pointed out. Aang smiled and shook his head.

"There is Katara. But it's going to be a shock for you guys. That's why he hasn't announced himself yet," Aang replied. Sokka was about to ask who when they heard someone walking over to them. Everyone turned to see a dark haired, blue eyed teenager walking over nervously. Suki frowned and glanced at Sokka before seeing that the Water tribe siblings had gone pale. They turned to Aang.

"It's him. Took a bit for me to accept it too," Aang confirmed.

So Danny has learnt a little more about what he's capable of. In this story he's capable of pretty much what he could do in the shows.

Let me know what you guys think so far of the story.

Until the next chapter.
