Okay, I think I've been keeping you all waiting long enough! In return for waiting so patiently you get an extra long chapter! Tyrn and the Gaang see the Fortuneteller in this chapter. Oh boy, I have so much fun writing with Meng in this one :)

I don't own A:TLA, nor will I ever.

Tyrn could only sweat-drop as Sokka glared at a jumping fish in the lake next to them.

"He's taunting us…" Sokka said, running back to grab his fishing pole. "You're so going to be dinner!" he yells, running in after the fish. He tries to throw in the bait, but stops when nothing flies out in front of him. "Hey, where's the fishing line?"

Aang spoke up. "Oh, sorry. I didn't think you would need it Sokka." He said, holding up a knotted macramé necklace.

Sokka slapped his forehead. "Ugh, it's all tangled!"

Jumping up from his spot, Aang protested. "It's not tangled, woven." He turned to Katara. "I made you a necklace, Katara! You know, since you lost your other one…"

Smiling, Katara walked up to him and took the necklace. "Thanks Aang, I love it!"

"That's great Aang. Maybe instead of saving the world you can go into the jewelry making business." Sokka said sarcastically.

"I can't see why I can't do both!" Aang shrugged.

Tyrn nudged Sokka. "Um, Sokka? Your dinner is laughing at you." she giggled, pointing at the jumping fish.

Sokka glared at the fish and threw his fishing pole at it. The fish merely jumped over it as Sokka yelled angrily. "Stop taunting me!" He grabbed his dagger and stomped into the water.

Tyrn rolled her eyes. "When a fish knows how to taunt you, you know you're too easy of a target." She stopped when she heard Katara speak.

"So, how do I look you guys?" Both of the airbenders turned to Katara, who was modeling her new necklace.

Tyrn showed a small smile when she glanced at Aang, who looked dumbstruck, and then turned to Katara. "It looks great, Katara. The red flower is a little off from your usual necklace, but you can wear it around now without tipping off Fire Nation soldiers."

Katara smiled and twirled in place. "You really think so?"

Tyrn smirked. "I know it. How about your option Aang?" she turned to Aang. "Doesn't she look great?"

Aang snapped out of his trance and pulled nervously at his collar. "You mean, your whole body or just your neck, because both look great!" he stammered. Tyrn only giggled at his scrambled response.

"Smoochy, smoochy! Someone's in loooooove!" Sokka called out. Tyrn glared at him and sent a quick air whip at his head, forcing him to drop his fish. She giggled when the fish came up to smack him in the jaw before disappearing.

Katara glared slightly at Sokka. "Stop teasing him Sokka." she reprimanded, walking up to a blushing Aang. "Aang's just a good friend. A sweet little guy, just like Momo!"

Tyrn could see the disappointment in Aang's face as Katara petted the lemur on his shoulder. She sighed and walked over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. Aang gave her a slight smile in return.

Everyone turned when a loud roar echoed in their ears. "What was that?" Sokka asked, walking out of the water.

Leaping over the rocks, Tyrn gasped when she saw a man being confronted by a platypus bear. "Over here! That man is being attacked!" she yelled to the others.

The man only gracefully dodged the bear's attacks as the Gaang reached him. "Why, hello there!" he said cheerfully, sidestepping a huge paw. "Nice day, isn't it?"

"What are you doing? Made some noise and run away!" Aang yelled to him.

"No, play dead so he'll lose interest!" Sokka offered his advice at they stared at the man and the platypus bear.

The man only dodged another attack. "Whoa, a close one!" he laughed.

"Run down the hill and climb up a tree!" Katara shouted.

Sokka called out to him. "No! Punch him in the bill!"

"And then run in zigzags!" Tyrn gestured.

The man shook his head. "No need. It's going to be fine." he ducked and spun around as the claws of the bear hit the tree behind him.

Tyrn finally had enough. Jumping in front of the bear, she put out her hand. "Now Appa!" she yelled.

Coming up behind the platypus bear, Appa let out a mighty roar. Tyrn smirked when the platypus bear laid an egg in fright, and then ran away into the river. The rest of the team ran up to where Tyrn stood.

Sokka reached over and grabbed the egg. "Mmm, lunch!" he exclaimed, examining the egg with hungry eyes. He looked over to the traveler. "Lucky for you we came along when we did."

The traveler spun around and stood up. "Thank you, but the situation was already under control. Aunt Wu predicted that I would have a safe journey."

Aang raised an eyebrow. "Aunt Who?"

"No, Aunt Wu!" The travel corrected him. "She is the fortuneteller of my village." He put his hands behind his back. "Awful nice to know your future."

Tyrn nodded. "That's why you acted so calm."

Sokka spoke up. "But you didn't have a safe journey, you were almost killed!"

"But I wasn't." The traveler smiled. "Alright, I bid you farewell." He turned to leave, but stopped and faced them once again. "I forget to mention, Aunt Wu told me that if I met any travelers to give them this." He handed Aang a wrapped package, and waved them goodbye as he walked away.

Katara thought for a second. "Maybe we should go see this Aunt Wu and learn our fortunes. Come on, it might be fun."

Sokka protested. "No way, fortunetelling is just a bunch of nonsense. Besides, we have a fortuneteller right here." He gestured to Tyrn.

Tyrn shook her head. "I don't know, I mainly choose to not to refer to my knowledge. And besides, my knowledge is mainly limited up to when you guys fight the Fire Lord. I don't know anything about you guys after that."

They all looked at Aang when he finished unwrapping the package. "Hey look, an umbrella!" he exclaimed, opening it up.

Katara quickly jumped under the umbrella as it suddenly started to pour. Tyrn just laughed at Sokka, who was getting drenched as he held his egg.

"That proves it!" Katara smiled.

Sokka groaned. "No it doesn't! You can't really tell the future!"

"I guess you're not really getting wet, then!" Tyrn joked.

Aang looked at Tyrn. "Since Sokka's too stubborn to get dry, why don't you come under here, Tyrn?"

Shaking her head, Tyrn smiled as she spun her arms out. "Are you kidding? I love walking in the rain. It's like the angels above are having a water fight!" she grins wider, making an air scooter to ride on. "Besides, that umbrella seems to have reached maximum carrying capacity." she states, winking at Aang.

They all walked along the road as Katara tried to coax her brother to come under the umbrella. "Just admit you might be wrong and you can come under the umbrella."

Sokka stopped walking. "Look, I'm going to predict the future now. It's going to keep raining." A moment of silence. "See?"

Aang, Katara and Tyrn looked up in amazement as the sky suddenly cleared up. "Not everyone has the magic gift, Sokka." Tyrn said, smirking.

Sokka could only groan when Appa shakes his wet fur at him.

Walking in Aunt Wu's lavish fortunetelling waiting room, Tyrn could only roll their eyes as she recognized the young girl approaching them. Great, this should be fun.

The girl introduced themselves to the Gaang. "My name is Meng, and I'm Aunt Wu's assistant!" She suddenly stopped when she took a closer look at Aang. "Well hello there!"

Tyrn stifled a sigh as she tried to tune out Meng's lame attempts at flirting. Following the group to the pillows on the ground, she got lost in her thoughts as Meng tried to get to know Aang better. First Katara, now Meng. Now I know how Aang feels with Katara.

"I can't believe that we're in the house of nonsense." Sokka complained.

Katara lectured to her brother. "Try to have an open mind Sokka. There are things in this world that we just can't explain. Wouldn't it be nice to have some insight to your future?"

"It would be nice to have some bean curd puffs." Tyrn slapped her forehead at Sokka's one track mind of food.

"Well, you don't need to wait any longer. Meng's coming back." Tyrn pointed to the young girl that approached them. Her eyes widened when she saw the young girl about to fall on top of Aang. Tyrn quickly bended a small gust to lift the girl up. She smirked at the slight glare Meng sent her way.

"Thanks." Meng said, a very slight edge in her voice.

Tyrn smiled back. "You're welcome."

Meng walked away as Aunt Wu stepped out of her room. Walking over to them, she addressed the group. "Ok, who is next? Don't be shy!" Tyrn glanced at Sokka, who was busy eating the bean curd puffs, and at Aang, who was just looking around, before looking at Katara.

Katara stood up. "I guess I'll go first." She walked into the room along with Aunt Wu as Aang stared after her.

"What do you think they're talking about in there?" Aang asked curiously.

Tyrn shrugged. "I think it's most of the stuff they foretell in there: who you're going to fall in love with, how many kids you're going to have, etcetera."

Aang grinned at the mention of love. "I need to…go to the bathroom." He got up.

Smirking, Tyrn waved. "Have fun in there!" Her smiled faded however once Aang disappeared from sight.

Sokka stopped his frantic eating as he looked at her. "You like him, don't you?"

Tyrn jumped at the sudden accusation. "No I don't! What makes you think that?" Tyrn asked, blushing.

Rolling his eyes, Sokka set the bowl of bean curd puffs down. "First of all, your ears are red, so I know you're lying." Tyrn cursed her telltale ears. "Second, to me it's a little bit obvious how you guys are all best friends, and you," he pointed at her while he said this, "want more."

Sighing, Tyrn slumped in defeat. "How is it out of all people it's YOU who confronts me first about this?" She sighed. "It doesn't matter. He gets together with someone else in the TV show anyways. And truthfully, I just want what's best for him and her."

Sokka raised an eyebrow. "You mean you don't mind Aang getting together with Katara?"

Tyrn stared back at him. "You don't mind your sister dating the Avatar?"

The warrior raised his hands. "Hey, I wasn't kidding back at the campsite. Besides, I'm sure I can't exactly murder the Avatar without getting killed myself." Sokka looked at her sympathetically. "You know, you may not be my sister or anything, but I do care about you. We all do."

Tyrn gave him a small smile. "Thanks. That means a lot." She looked up when Aang came back in with a triumphant smirk on his face. She composed her face to look lighthearted as she spoke. "Someone had a good bathroom break."

"Well yeah, there was this—"

Aang was interrupted by Sokka who just put his hands out. "I don't want to know!"

Just then Katara walked out with Aunt Wu, who looked at the group. "Who is next?"

Sokka sighed and stood up. "Fine, let's get this over with." he said, stretching slightly.

"Your future is full of struggle and anguish, most of it…self-inflicted." Aunt Wu stated, gazing at Sokka.

"But, you didn't even read my palms or anything!" Sokka held his hands up.

Aunt Wu sighed. "I don't need to. It's written all over your face." Tyrn laughed slightly at Sokka's face when he heard that.

"You then. Come with me." Aunt Wu beckoned Tyrn over, and they walked into the room. Shutting the door, Aunt Wu led Tyrn to a fire on the floor. "You don't seem to be the type for traditional palm reading, so we'll use the bone method."

Tyrn smiled. "This should be interesting, to say the least." She walked over to the bowl and picked up a curled bone with a sharp end.

"Now, sit down here, and throw it into the fire." Aunt smiled at Tyrn. Tyrn hesitated, and then quickly dropped the bone over the flames.

Aunt Wu stared at the bone. "By reading the cracks in the bones, I can tell your destiny." Both of them jumped when two parallel cracks broke out along the bone, splinters leaping from the fire.

"Wow, that was…interesting." Tyrn didn't know what to make of the cracks.

Aunt Wu studied the cracks. "Yes…very interesting indeed. You are to have a role in this war, fighting alongside your friends in the effort to save the world from the Fire Nation."

Tyrn nodded. "I kind of knew that already. Um…what does it say about my relationships in the bone?"

Glancing at her with a smile, Aunt Wu examined the bones. "You seem to be having a great friendship with those around you, but one is giving you pain and happiness at the same time, am I correct?"

Raising an eyebrow, Tyrn looked at her. "It really says that?"

Aunt Wu kept her smile on her face. "Well, sort of. I also saw it in the waiting room. It was hard to see but it wasn't long before I figured it out." Tyrn grinned at her as she continued. "Here is what I advise you to do: give it some time. Everything has its own path to follow, and you must do the same with yours."

Getting up, Tyrn bowed to the old woman. "I thank you for your wisdom."

"Anytime, young child." Aunt Wu waved her goodbye cheerfully.

Walking out of the room, Tyrn had a small smile on her face as they all looked at her. "Well? How did it go?" asked Katara.

Tyrn sat down next to her. "Well, it was more like advice than fortunetelling."

Following Tyrn out of the room, Aunt Wu pointed to Aang. "You there! Come with me." Aang shrugged to Katara and Tyrn as he followed the old woman into the room.

"Oh my gosh, Tyrn! You'll never believe what Aunt Wu told me about my love life!" Katara gushed excitedly to Tyrn as soon as the door closed.

Tyrn smiled as Katara continued. "She said that I'm going to marry a powerful bender! With a great romance to go along with it…" she finished off with a happy sigh. "So, what did she tell you?"

"Well…not really anything specific." Tyrn admitted. "Just that I should give my love life some time."

"Well, I hope you all realize that fortunetelling is just a big hoax." Sokka stated as they walked out of the fortuneteller's house.

Katara rolled her eyes. "You're just mad because you're going to make yourself unhappy for the rest of your life."

Sokka stopped. "That woman is crazy!" he threw his arms up into the air in exasperation. "My life will be CALM, and HAPPY, and JOYFUL!" he kicked a rock at his last remark and folded his arms.

Tyrn put up a finger. "Wait for it…" Aang and Katara started to laugh when the rock ricocheted off a sign and back at Sokka's head, effectively knocking him to the ground.

Sokka put his finger up as they laughed. "That doesn't prove anything!"

"Right. It totally doesn't prove the fact that your pain and suffering is perfect comedic entertainment for the rest of us!" Tyrn said sarcastically as Aang and Katara finished their laughing with grins on their faces.

They all walked up to the crowd in front of them. "What's going on?" Katara asked the traveler from before.

"We're waiting for Aunt Wu's reading of the clouds. Her predictions will tell the fate of the whole village." he replied.

Pointing at a cloud, Aang spoke. "That cloud looks like a fluffy bunny."

"You'd better hope that's not a bunny. Bunny shaped clouds predict doom and destruction." the traveler crossed his arms.

Tyrn nudged Aang. "That's the weirdest sentence I've heard all day." They both snickered at the comment.

"Aunt Wu will predict if Mt. Makapu will stay dormant this year, or if it will erupt." a lady told them.

"We used to have a tradition of going up the mountain to check ourselves, but ever since Aunt Wu moved to our village twenty years ago, we've had a tradition of not doing that anymore." the traveler smiled, folding his arms.

Sokka glared at him. "You guys really trust your lives to that crazy old woman's superstitions?"

Katara shushed her skeptical brother. "She's coming!" They all watched as the old woman was led up the stairs towards the small stage. Tyrn, Katara and Aang could only cheer lightly along with the others as she bring out her book.

Looking towards the skies, Aunt Wu took in a breath as she spotted a familiar shape. "A bending arrow cloud…" she looked in her book. "Good crops this year. Large, healthy harvest!"

"Yes, good news!" An old man hugged his wife in joy.

"A wavy moon-shaped cloud…" Aunt Wu said thoughtfully. "Going to be a good year for twins!" she said, winking at some twin boys to her right. They high-fived in joy as she looked up at the sky again.

"And a cumulus cloud, with a twisting nub coming off the end of it…" she looked out into the crowd. "The village will not be destroyed by the volcano this year!" she proudly proclaimed, raising her arms. Everyone cheered loudly as Aang looked at Katara. Glancing at Tyrn, who gave him a thumbs-up, he approached his crush.

"Hey Katara…there's something I got to tell you." He took in a deep breath as he continued. "I like you, but, more than normal." Aang's face fell when Katara ran towards Aunt Wu, ignoring his little confession. "Never mind…" he said dishearteningly, Momo lowering his ears on Aang's head.

Tyrn walked up to a depressed airbender. "Don't worry Aang, I'm sure you'll have another chance." Aang nodded as the crowd dispersed, Sokka walking up to them.

"Hey, where's Katara?" he asked.

Tyrn shrugged. "She must've gone back to Aunt Wu's."

Sokka rolled his eyes. "I can't believe these saps. Someone needs to shock some sense into them."

"They seem happy Sokka." Aang said, looking around.

"Not for long!" he replied, suddenly grabbing a nearby man. "Hey mister. I bet Aunt Wu told you to wear those red shoes, huh?"

The man smiled and looked at his feet. "Yes, she told me I'll be wearing red shoes when I meet my true love."

Sokka grinned. "And how many times have you worn those shoes ever since you got that prediction?"

"Every day." The man happily replied.

Tyrn could see the flames of Sokka's rage as he ranted. "Then of COURSE it's going to come true!"

"Really?" the mad said excitedly. "Oh gee, I'm so excited!" he commented, walking away.

Sokka angrily kicked a rock out of his way. It struck a goose, which came over and started to peck at his head.

Aang could only watch as Tyrn smirked. "You know Sokka, you should really stop kicking rocks. It could really affect your health." she teased.

The pair just watched as Sokka tried to convince the townsfolk that the readings were fake. Tyrn turned to Aang. "So Aang, how's operation love going?"

Aang sighed. "Well, it just doesn't seem to be working. I tried to confess but she didn't listen."

Tyrn was suddenly shoved aside as Sokka wrapped an arm around Aang's shoulder. "You have love troubles?" He started to walk away as Tyrn stifled her urge to punch him. "You've come to the right place. What can I help you with?"

Sighing, Tyrn turned to walk away and find Katara. Seeing her at a fruit stand, she tapped her shoulder. "Hey Katara! What's up?"

Katara grimaced at the papaya in her hand before looking at Tyrn. "Oh hey. Aunt Wu told me that I should eat a papaya for breakfast tomorrow."

Tyrn raise an eyebrow. "But you hate papaya!" Sighing as she watched Katara glare at the wretched fruit in her hand, then spoke. "You shouldn't let her fortunes decide everything for you. That's just not the way life works."

"You know, you're right!" Katara exclaimed. "But what am I going to do with this papaya?"

Tyrn noticed that Aang showed up behind her. "Oh. Hey Katara, Tyrn." She almost face palmed at his attempt to be aloof. I need to talk with Sokka later.

"Papaya, huh." Aang stated, glancing at the papaya in Katara's hand.

"Um…yeah you want it?" Katara asked.

Aang casually picked up an apple. "You know me. I don't care what I eat." he states, biting into the apple.

Katara nodded. "Sure…see you later." she waves at Tyrn and Aang before heading off.

Raising an eyebrow, Tyrn smirked when Aang quickly spit out the apple from his mouth. "Well that didn't work…" he said, throwing away the apple.

"You should know better than to follow Sokka's advice on women." Tyrn rolled her eyes. "If you want impress a girl, you should do something like that." She pointed to a lady receiving a panda lily from a suitor.

Aang's eyes widened in understanding, and he quickly ran over to the couple. "Hey mister, where did you get one of those?"

Climbing on the rocks, Tyrn could only pant as she watched Aang continue above her. "Why the heck did I give you the idea of climbing a volcano for a flower?" she groaned as she got up and airbended herself up to where Aang stood.

Aang shrugged. "Well, you told me to trust your advice."

"I so didn't! I told you to not trust SOKKA'S advice!" she exclaimed.

"Well, your advice is so much better." Aang quickly jumped up to the next rock. "Hey Tyrn. How do you describe falling in love anyways?"

"Asking for more advice, are you?" Tyrn grinned.

Aang grinned. "Yes, Sifu Tyrn of romance."

She chuckled at the title, and then thought for a moment. "Falling in love isn't like a crush: butterflies in your stomach and stuff like that. I think that it's like falling in love with your best friend." she paused as she gripped Aang's hand and pulled herself up to the rock he stood on.

Aang raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, you don't get tongue-tied trying to make a conversation. You don't have him or her on your mind twenty four/seven. You can relate to them like a best friend and be their boyfriend or girlfriend at the same time." Tyrn blushed slightly when she realized she just described how she felt with Aang.

Nodding, Aang smiled at her. "You really do continue to amaze me."

Tyrn smiled at the compliment. "Thanks. Hey look, there's the flower!" she pointed at the rim of the volcano.

Picking a flower, he stopped when he looked up at the volcano. "Oh no."

Walking up beside him, Tyrn gasped at the heat and smoke coming out of the volcano. "Looks like Aunt Wu was wrong."

Aang took out his glider. "It's going to erupt soon! We need to warn them." Turning around, he looked at Tyrn. "Well? Get on my back, it's too slow to walk."

Tyrn prayed that the volcano's bright lava behind her shielded her intense blush as she got on Aang's back. Gripping his neck with her arms, she spoke quickly. "Ok I'm on, let's go!"

Running off the edge of the volcano, Aang and Tyrn flew down the side of the rocks, heading towards the village. Tyrn thought that the ride could've lasted a little longer as they touched down. As they ran towards Katara and Sokka Tyrn could've sworn she saw a light red tinge on Aang's face, but dismissed it from the exhaustion from flying two people.

"Guys, the volcano's going to erupt! Aang and I both saw the lava with our own eyes!" Tyrn exclaimed.

Sokka let out a triumphant whoop as he pointed at Katara. "See? Her fortunetelling is a myth!"

Everyone jumped when they heard a loud explosion come from the top of the volcano. Katara gasped as she saw the smoke coming out of the mountain. "This is no time for that, Sokka! We need to warn the villagers!"

They all headed into the middle of the square and tried to convince the townspeople of the imminent destruction. Sadly, even after repeated attempts to make the people listen to them, it didn't work.

Tyrn jumped down from the roof and reached the Gaang. "This isn't working. They only listen to Aunt Wu!"

"I know, that's the problem." Sokka said, staring at the ground.

Aang slowly started to smile. "Or…it just might become the solution. Guys, we're going to take our fate into our own hands. First, I'll need Aunt Wu's cloud book…"

Creeping into the room, Aang looked inside a box as Momo chattered next to him. "Shhh! We don't want anyone to hear us!" he shushed the lemur, but he jumped around when he heard footsteps. Aang let out a surprised yell when he found Meng standing behind him.

"Ah! Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there." he said nervously, rubbing the back of his head.

Meng looked down. "You don't like me, do you."

"Of course I like you!" Aang protested, oblivious to her other meaning.

"But not the way I like you."

Aang blinked for a second before the oblivious bubble popped in his mind. "Oh…I guess not." he said slowly, looking down as well.

Meng glanced at him. "It's fine! Just…it's hard when you like someone, but they don't like you the same way."

"I know what you mean." Aang said sadly.

"She's beautiful, by the way." Meng added.

Aang blushed and looked up. "Huh?"

Meng shrugged. "That airbender girl you hang out with. She's funny, a bender, and her hair is so manageable." She pulled her braids down and let them bounce up for effect.

Aang shook his head quickly. "Oh, no no! Not Tyrn, she's just my best friend. Katara's the one I like."

Meng raised an eyebrow. "Really? Huh. I kinda thought you and Tyrn were acting, the way you guys seem so compatible together. But Katara seems nice." She looked down sadly. "I wish I could find a guy like that."

Walking over to her, Aang put his hands on her shoulders. "Don't worry, you'll find a guy that will love you for who you are, I promise." He started to walk away.

"Wait! Don't you want this?" Aang turned to find Meng holding out the cloud book.

Aang took the book from her. "How did you know I needed this?"

Meng blushed and poked her two index fingers together. "I've…kind of been stalking you. Heheh!"

Aang raised an eyebrow. "Oh. That's…cool, I guess."

Flying into the clouds, Tyrn looked at the cloud book in front of her. Aang told them his plan as they flew upwards. "Since clouds are made of air and water, you girls should be able to bend them into any shape we want!"

Tyrn let out a small yell as she found what she was looking for. "I found it! The symbol for volcanic doom!" She set out the book on the floor of the saddle as she and Katara stood up. Slowly moving their hands back and forward, they bended the air around them as Aang drove Appa around. Trailing the mist behind them, Tyrn watched as the marshmallow-looking clouds around them swirled into the symbol they were trying to make. Flying back from the sky, Katara and Tyrn stared in amazement at the skull-like face they created in the clouds.

"We should've made the bunny symbol." Tyrn joked. "Both of them mean the same thing."

Landing in the square, they saw that Sokka had already rounded up some benders and people with shovels, digging a trench up before the village. Joining them, Aang and Tyrn helped blow away the debris as everyone quickly dug a trench, stretching all the way across the village's front. Appa had just flown away with the last load of rocks when everyone heard an explosion so loud, it almost made them fall over.

"Everyone needs to evacuate! We'll come for you when it's safe!" Tyrn yelled. As everyone else fled, the Gaang watched as the lava approached the village. Horror reflected on everyone's faces as the lava filled the trench.

"It's too much, it's going to overflow!" Katara exclaimed.

Another explosion rocked the area, spilling heat and ash into the air. Katara and Sokka ran back as Tyrn started to jump into the air. Building up a twister on both of her hands, she quickly started to bend the ash around her, sending the wind power down to Aang. Gathering the wind sent from Tyrn, Aang swung out his arms and let out a powerful gust, sending it all around the trench. The air rapidly cooled the lava, making a sort of crown around the village. Landing beside him, both Aang and Tyrn moved their hands in a resting position, completing the airbending technique.

Sokka and Katara just watched in awe as they saw the work of the two airbenders. "Wow. Sometimes I forget how powerful of a bender Aang is."

Katara's eyes widened at Sokka's statement. "What did you say?"

Sokka shrugged. "Nothing. Just how Aang's a powerful bender. Tyrn too, I guess."

Katara slowly processed Sokka's comment on Aang. "Yeah…I guess he is."

Walking down from the trench's edge, Aang wrapped an arm around Tyrn. "You know, I think we've put off your master's test a little too long. That was really something back there."

Tyrn blushed modestly. "Oh, you think?"

Aang nodded. "Next time we camp out, we're going to hold your master's test, okay?"

Tyrn broke out into a grin. "Okay, but you're going down!"

Aang rolled his eyes. "In your dreams."

"Hey Aang!" The two broke off contact with each other when Katara tackled Aang in a hug. "That was some great airbending!" Tyrn smiled at Aang's happy face as he hugged her back.

Sokka came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. "You alright Tyrn?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." she turned and walked over to Meng. "Hey Meng. Take care, okay? And sorry about the falling thing earlier."

Meng smiled. "Yeah, it's ok. You saved me from just an embarrassing moment. And just for the record, you better take care of Aang, got it?"

Tyrn looked at her in surprise. "Shouldn't you be saying that to Katara?"

"Well, I may not be like Aunt Wu, but I don't need fortunetelling to know that you and Aang should get together." Meng smirked at Tyrn's blush.

"Please, Aang's just my best friend. Nothing more, and nothing less." Tyrn turned to find the Gaang waving her over. "I got to go. Thanks for you advice, I guess." The two girls gave each other a quick hug, and then Tyrn ran over to Appa and jumped on.

"Take care, Meng." Katara said kindly.

Meng just smiled and waved. "Take care!" Tyrn caught the wink that Meng sent her way. As they flew off Tyrn could just hear the comment that Meng muttered under her breath.

"Katara's such a floozy."

Katara and Sokka looked at Tyrn weirdly, who had started into a fit of giggles. "What's so funny?"

Tyrn stopped giggling and just smiled. "Inside joke." She suddenly airbended herself over to where Aang sat. Grabbing something from her pocket, she tapped his shoulder.

The young airbender spun around to see Tyrn sitting next to him. "Hey Tyrn! What'cha doing?"

She grinned as she produced the thing from her pocket. "You left something back at the volcano."

Aang's eyes widened when he saw the panda lily in her hand. "The flower!"

Tyrn nodded. "Just make sure it gets some water everyday and it will last until you get the guts to confess to Katara...again." she joked.

Taking the flower from her hand, Aang smiled up at her. "I'm glad you're in my corner with this romance stuff, Sifu Tyrn."

Tyrn just smiled back and went back to her spot. Grabbing her iPod, she sadly looked at Aang and Katara, laughing at Sokka's hatred for fortunetelling as she put in her earbuds. Aunt Wu, I hope I don't have to wait too long. She thought.

I always thought that Meng was sort of cool, even if she stalks people :D You know, it's getting harder to write Aang and Tyrn's relationship at this best friends stage...
