"I'm not one to complain but can't Appa fly any higher?" Sokka as they are flying on Appa barely above the water.
"I have an idea. Why dont we all get on your back and you can fly us to the north pole!" Aang says annoyed at Sokka.
"I'd love to. Climb on everyone. Sokka's ready for take off." Sokka says as he shakes his butt as Momo hops on his back causing Alexis to laugh. Sokka then smiles slightly seeing Alexis laugh.
"Ok I think we're all a bit stressed. Let's just calm down a bit." Alexis says as she picks up Momo off of Sokka and puts him in her lap.
"Look we're all just a little tired and cranky because we've been flying for two days straight." Katara says.
"And for what? We can't even find the northern water tribe. There's nothing up here." Sokka says as the group then get attack by ice and try to escape it but get caught anyway before some water benders in some boats appear around them.
"They're water benders. We found the water tribe." Katara says.
*Timeskip*
"There it is!" Aang says as he points to an ice wall with a water tribe symbol on it.
"The northern water tribe." Katara says.
"We're finally here." Sokka says as they all look at the ice wall.
"I cant believe how many water benders live up here." Katara says as they pass through the wall.
"We'll find a master to teach us no problem." Aang says as they watch the benders make it to where they are in the city.
"This place is beautiful." Alexis says as they float through the city.
"Yea she is." Sokka says dreamily catching Alexis's attention as she notices he is staring at a girl in a boat causing Alexis to look away from Sokka slightly sad.
*Timeskip*
"Tonight we celebrate the arrival of our brother and sister from the southern tribe. And they have brought with them someone very special. Someone whom many of us believed disappeared from the world until now. The avatar. we also celebrate my daughter sixteenth birthday. Princess Yue is now of marrying age." Arnook says as his daughter who Sokka was staring at in the boat comes out into view.
"Thank you father. May the great ocean and moon spirits watch over us in these troubled times." Yue says.
"Now master Pakku and his students will perform." Arnook says as Pakku and his students start performing.
"Are you ok Alexis?" Aang asks as he notices Alexis is being quite while Sokka is talking to Yue.
"Yea I'm fine Aang." Alexis says while she is eating.
"You sure your usually more well talkative." Aang says.
"I promise I'm ok let's just focus on getting you a teacher. Come on." Alexis says as she takes Aang over to Arnook asking him to introduce Aang to Pakku.
*Timeskip*
"Good luck to the both of you." Alexis says as she walks Aang and Katara to where Pakku teaches before leaving with Sokka.
"Hey Alexis wait." A voice calls as Alexis is walking with Sokka as the two turn to see Katara.
"Why are you done so early aren't you gonna learn?" Alexis asks.
"Master Pakku wont teach me because I'm a girl. I was wondering if you would teach me some of your moves since you said you mastered your elements." Katara says.
"But Katara I don't wanna teach anyone." Alexis says.
"Please Alexis?" Katara asks.
"Oh alright. But just you ok." Alexis says causing Katara to smile.
"Well since you two will be busy I'm gonna go talk to Yue." Sokka says as he quickly leaves.
"Sure don't mind me." Alexis says slightly annoyed.
"Are you ok? You've seemed well a bit jealous of Yue since we got here." Katara says.
"I guess I'm ok." Alexis says.
"Well don't worry about Sokka. I can tell you like him even though I don't exactly see why but for now let's get your mind off it. Follow me." Katara says as she leads Alexis to an ally with a water way.
"Ok Katara so just do as I do." Alexis says as she starts bending some water having Katara follow her actions.
*Timeskip*
"Well Alexis I'm heading to the teaching class are you sure you don't wanna go with me?" Katara asks.
"No no I'm fine." Alexis says as Katara shrugs and leaves. As Alexis goes to keep walking she bumps into Sokka causing her to stumble back on the ground.
"Oh Alexis I'm so sorry I didn't see you. Here let me help you up." Sokka says as he helps Alexis to her feet.
"So why aren't you with princess Yue?" Alexis asks.
"Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about." Sokka says.
"And?" Alexis asks looking at Sokka with a I'm waiting expression.
"Alexis if you really liked a someone and they asked you to meet them somewhere what would you do?" Sokka asks.
"Oh um.. I guess.. I would try to do something for them and I would meet them and I guess explain my feelings." Alexis says avoiding eye contact with Sokka.
"Thanks Alexis. Hey if you wanna hang out later come find me since Katara went to the healing class." Sokka says.
"I'll think about it later. I'm gonna head to the ice house we're staying at I'll see you later." Alexis says as she heads to the place they are staying at and sits down as momo hops in her lap.
"What would do Momo if you were me?" Alexis asks as she pets Momo for him to look at her.
"Right I'm talking to an animal. Nice Alexis. Oh well I guess nothing to do except draw while I wait on the others." Alexis says as she pulls out a sketch book from her bag and starts drawing.
*Timeskip*
"How's warrior training going?" Katara asks.
"That bad?" Aang asks as Sokka kicks his bag before laying his head on it.
"No it's princess Yue. I don't get it. One minute she wants to go out with me and the next she's telling me to get lost. So how's water bending training going?" Sokka asks.
"Master poop head wont teach her because she's a girl. And Alexis done tried teaching her but doesn't feel comfortable doing it." Aang says as Katara lays down.
"Sorry I just don't like teaching others." Alexis says as she looks at Aang.
"It's ok Alexis you tried at least." Katara says looking at Alexis.
"Why don't you just teach her Aang?" Sokka asks.
"Why didn't I think of that. At night you can teach me whatever moves you learn from master Pakku that way you have someone to practice with and I get to learn waterbending. Everyone's happy." Katara says as she gets up.
"I'm not happy." Sokka says with an annoyed expression.
"But your never happy. Come on Aang." Katara says as she and Aang leave.
"I'm sorry about Yue." Alexis says getting Sokka's attention.
"It's ok. I guess it's not meant to be." Sokka says sadly.
"Sokka if Yue can't see what a wonderful guy you are than she is nuts. Your a great guy that any girl would be lucky to have." Alexis says with a slight blush.
"Thanks Alexis. I'm glad to know I got a friend like you." Sokka says as he looks at Alexis with a smile.
"Yea.. friend." Alexis says as she falls asleep later being woken by the others as they tell her master Pakku wont teach Aang anymore cause he was teaching Katara waterbending.
*Timeskip*
"What do you want me to do? Force master Pakku to take Aang back as his student?" Arnook asks.
"Yes! Please." Katara says pleading with Arnook.
"I suspect he might change his mind if you swallow your pride and apologize to him." Arnook says as Katara then looks at Pakku before looking at Aang and back at Pakku.
"Fine." Katara says annoyed.
"I'm waiting little girl." Pakku says with a smirk as he rolls his eyes.
"No! No way am I apologizing to a sour old man like you!" Katara says as she cracks the floor and breaks a vase filled with water.
"Uh Katara." Aang says seeing Katara snap in anger.
"I'll be outside if your man enough to fight me!" Katara says as she walks outside.
"I'm sure she didn't mean that." Aang says.
"Yea I think she did." Sokka says.
"I'm with Sokka on this Aang. Katara looked pretty mad." Alexis says as thee three of them then run out of to Katara as she walks down the steps.
"Are you crazy Katara? Your not gonna win this fight." Sokka says as Katara takes off her fur coat and tosses it to Alexis.
"Yes Katara seddle down please." Alexis says.
"No Alexis! I know and i don't care." Katara says angrily.
"You don't have to do this for me. I can find another teacher." Aang says as they try to reason with Katara.
"I'm not doing it for you. Someone needs to slap some sense into that guy." Katara says as they reach the bottom of the steps.
"Katara please." Alexis says.
"So you decided to show up!? Aren't you gonna fight!?" Katara asks as she sees master Pakku and ignores Alexis.
"Go back to the healing huts with the other women where you belong." Pakku says as he keeps walking until Katara slaps him in the back of the head with some water.
"Fine. you want to learn to fight so bad? Study closely." Pakku says as he starts attacking Katara starting a fight between the two.
"You can't knock me down!" Katara shouts as she encases her feet in snow so she wont get knocked down on a pedestal.
"Go Katara!" Aang says as he and Alexis cheer Katara on until Pakku traps her in some ice spikes.
"This fight is over." Pakku says as he starts walking.
"Get back here! I'm not finished yet!" Katara says as she struggles against the ice spikes.
"Yes you are... This is my necklace." Pakku says as he sees Katara's necklace on the ground and picks it up looking at it.
"No it's not! It's mine give it back!" Katara shouts.
"I made this sixty years ago. For the love of my life. For Kanna." Pakku says.
"My gran gran was supposed to marry you?" Katara asks as the ice spikes melt freeing her.
"I carved this necklace for your grandmother we got engaged. I thought we would have a long happy life together. I loved her." Pakku says.
"But she didn't love you did she? It was an arranged marriage. Gran gran wouldn't let your tribes stupid customs run her life. That's why she left. It must of taken a lot of courage." Katara says as Yue then runs off crying.
"Go after her." Alexis says as Sokka then runs after Yue.
"You gonna be ok?" Aang asks as he looks at Alexis.
"I guess." Alexis says.
*Timeskip*
"Master Pakku will teach me!" Katara shouts as she and Aang come running into the ice hut waking Alexis up and startling her.
"Ok one congratulations. Second what the heck is the matter with you two!? Are you trying to scare me half to death!?" Alexis shouts.
"Sorry about that and yea i guess he changed his mind." Aang says as he laughs slightly and rubs the back of his neck.
"That's good." Alexis says smiling happy for Aang and Katara before going back to sleep.
