Okay ya, Chapter 10 is here.

Finally, the sun shined on the temple, marking the beginning of Aang's training to learn Firebending. Iroh was the first to get up and Zuko eventually got up later, both went and woke up Aang, who was scratching his eyes and was a little groggy.

"Wake up Aang, today is the day."

"Just five more minutes, I had a rough night," complained Aang. Iroh wasn't going to let him off easy.

"Well, I was woke up in the middle of the night a couple times by the sound of footsteps. It must have been you, and probably Katara too. Was it a bad dream?"

"Yeah, but I feel better now."

Zuko interrupted, "Well, then get up and let's get started."

Aang got dressed and they walked to this open area that was perfect for Firebending.

"Before I start training you, do you by chance know any basics to Firebending?" Iroh asked Aang in curiosity.

"Yes actually, I learned earlier that breathing and stance was very important."

"Really…and who taught you that?"

"I don't know if you know him, but Jeong Jeong taught me that."

"Hmm…Jeong Jeong, yes I know him. We used to be good friends, but one day he disappeared and that was the last time I saw him."

Zuko joined in, "Yeah, I have learned about Jeong Jeong. He was the first person to desert the Fire Nation and live."

Iroh started to talk again, "Really Zuko? I'm impressed...anyways, so you know the stances and the proper breathing techniques?"

"Well, kind of…I got a little impatient with it and," Aang then stares in Katara's direction, "accidentally hurt her, and then Zhao came in and interrupted the whole thing and that was the last time we ever saw Jeong Jeong."

"Okay, we will do that first. Get into your stance." Aang got into the stance he remembered from Jeong Jeong.

"Okay, now feel the heat of the sun, this is the most powerful and abundant source of fire. You need to master this first before we actually start with fire, because if you don't have control over it, it can hurt and be lethal at times." Aang sat in his stance and breathed like he did with Jeong Jeong.

Meanwhile, the rest were sitting around talking about random things. Katara left them to watch Aang practice (A/N You figure out why LOL :-D), Toph and Sokka were alone…Sokka wasn't himself since Suki broke his heart. Toph was a little concerned about his attitude…normally he is sarcastic and goofy, now he sits around and is always sad.

"So…did I ever tell you when Aang ran away like a baby when I offered to do acupuncture on him?" Toph was trying to cheer Sokka up, it wasn't working.

"It bothers you this much?"

"I don't know if you understand Toph, she just broke my heart so fast and it was very painful…it still is."

"Well, you can't let this bring you down forever. Things will look up, I have always been taught that things happen for a reason, and that is what I follow. Besides, you have friends to help you anyways. I'll be with Katara." Toph usually doesn't act like this, but she really felt for Sokka and it was the least she could do. With that said, she followed Katara to leave Sokka to think.

Iroh was giving Aang tips for Firebending, "Firebending comes from the breath, not the muscles. That's why we spent thirty minutes practicing breathing."

"Are you sure about that? Don't muscles help even a little bit?"

Zuko joined in again, "Please listen to my uncle, he taught me everything I know. He is right, that is why I stopped building muscles earlier before, it's all in the breath and technique."

"Then why did you build some muscles Iroh?" Aang was curious since Iroh had muscles and was telling him that they weren't important for Firebending.

"Because I was preparing for the eclipse, Firebenders lose their power a solar eclipse, so I needed some muscle to so I could be of some help for ya."

"Oh…well, thanks." With all that being said, Aang assumed his stance and Iroh was demonstrating the movements to shoot a small fireball. Aang didn't get this at first of course, so he kept trying and eventually got it. After about a couple hours of training, Iroh and Zuko decided to call it a day and would begin training the same morning.

Later during the day close to sunset, Aang asked Katara to go with him to a roof of the towers that made up the temple (A/N Perfect for confessions LOL :-D)

"Aang, why did you bring me up here? Not that I hate it or anything, it's beautiful up here."

"Thanks. I really want to tell you something Katara, but everytime I try…I get interrupted by something."

"Well…there shouldn't be a way we can get interrupted now. Just tell me now." Katara was very curious as to what Aang wanted to tell her, it must be important since he has tried so many times.

"Okay," Aang was just so nervous at this point, "I…I…uhh…"

Aang was interrupted by Sokka shouting, "Invasion!!!"

"Ugh…not again…" Aang was very furious at the interruptions that would always come up.

Katara just shouted, "Just tell me right now Aang!" Then the two looked in the sky as a giant fireball was flying at the two.

What do ya think? I'm so evil aren't I…I'm just holding off that confession like crazy am I? Please R&R, those help me much ;-)
