"Just try Aang!" she shouted, "You can do it!"
He screamed, "You didn't tell me it was painful!"
"Trust me Aang! Come on!"
"ARRRGH!" his body started to melt as he became the water around him.
"You're doing good Aang keep going!"
"Can't… understand… you!" he shouted.
"That's good that means you're doing it right! I'm gonna come in with you!" Aura shouted but he only heard half of it, she ran into the water instead of walking then melted quickly into the splashing waves.
"Aang?" she asked in her mind.
"I'm here," he answered out of breath, "and I did it!"
"I knew you could Aang, give me a hug- wait, no, not gonna be able to do that, we haven't got bodies…" they both laughed.
"I feel tingly," Aang said.
"Don't worry, you'll be ok. Do you want to try make a shape?"
"Yeah ok, but how?"
"Just imagine it, be free, let your emotions flow…"
"Ok then."

Sokka was lying on the ground, using his boomerang as a toothpick, when the water rose up above the ground; it formed a shape then dropped back in again. He sighed. When were the others going to realise that he was really bored sitting there. The water rose again, and gurgled while changing shape into a tube and separated; he began to recognise it when the water splashed back into the lake. There was a rustle in the trees and Sokka jumped up, his boomerang at the ready. Katara walked through.
"Whoa, what are you doing Sokka? I didn't think you hated me that much," she emphasized that.
He slumped to the ground, "I don't…"
"Ok, what's the matter?"
"Nothing."
"There's something."
"Fine, ok…"
~…~
"Wow, I never realised you were such a fast learner, Aang!"
"Why, thank you," he replied.
"Just keep practicing; I'm sure you'll be able to make your body out of water very soon."
"Cool!" they laughed, "Can I try again?"
"Go ahead!"
~…~
"You have to compromise sometimes, Sokka, that's just how life is."
"I know but this just doesn't seem fair, I mean, we took a chance, a big one, and now that Aang's found his Mum it's just getting us side-tracked, or him."
"I know how you feel Sokka but you just can't let that get in the way, like what you said, about Aang, it's like dad has died as well but instead you've just left him and your whole soul and stuff have gone with him, I think you're homesick."
"What? No I never feel homesick, not when I'm out hunting."
"But you're not hunting Sokka, when you hunt you always know that you'll go back to the village, with this, you can never be sure."
"Especially with Zuko following us," he added. Sokka turned his head so he could see Katara, "Thanks, a lot, you know I miss it sometimes, you know just the two of us, talking about stuff like this, but this was good, thank you," he hugged his sister. Just then a waved of water came over them and made a form, it was Aang's body!
"Aang!" Katara exclaimed, making Sokka feel hopeless again and not important.
