"Skyler, look!" I exclaimed. "Over there!"
She looked to where I was pointing and gasped.
"This is your stop," Aang said happily.
"We can't thank you enough," Skyler told him.
I nodded in agreement. "It really means a lot."
"No problem," Aang replied. "That's what I do."
We landed. We were home. Skyler bent down and hugged me out of joy. Everything seemed normal... Until a huge group of people came out of almost nowhere and cheered and hugged us, even though we knew almost none of them. My dad pushed through the crowd followed by a women I'd never seen before.
"Mom!" Skyler cried.
She hugged her, and my dad did the same to me.
"Where WERE you?" he asked. "l was worried sick! We formed a huge search party and we still couldn't find you!" "Where WERN'T we," I replied.
Skyler lead her mom over to where we were.
"That's Skyler," I told my dad. "And that's Teo," she said to her mom. "Without him I'd probably be dead."
"And vice versa," I put in.
Skyler turned to me. "There's someone I want you to meet."
A little girl, probably two or three years old, walked over and waved at me.
"This is my little sister," Skyler said. "Her name is Talia. Talia, can you say Teo?"
She struggled to say my name. "Te... Te... Te Te!" She said it like "Tay Tay".
I laughed. "She's so cute!"
Skyler nodded. "Watch, she's going to call you Te Te now."
Talia immediately proved this by saying, "Hi, Te Te!"
She jumped up and down and I laughed again. The people gathered around us and started bombarding us with questions.
"Where did you go?" one person asked.
"Um, we were on a ship at first, then an island, then Ba Sing Se, another ship, and Kyoshi Island, and another island, another island, and here we are," I answered.
"Who did you meet?" someone asked Skyler.
"Well, we met Huo," she began. "And then Evron- well, I already knew him- we met Russell, a girl named Ada and her mother Kirai, the Kyoshi Warriors, and a guard named Adler. Then of course we found Aang."
The questions went on forever, like, what did we encounter? What were some obstacles we faced? Were we scared? And things along those lines. Aang was busy with some fans of his. Eventually me and Skyler were able to escape the annoying crowd and leave them talking to each other about our "amazing adventure". We went to the tree where we'd first met and Skyler sat down. That's when I noticed what a nice little field it was- bright green grass and all kinds of flowers. Plus it always had a good breeze.
"Back to where we started," I said.
Skyler smiled. "Yep."
She looked exactly as she had the first time I saw her. She stood up, brushed herself off, and took her staff out.
"You wanna fly?" Skyler asked.
I smiled. "Have I ever said no to flying?"
"Let's make it a race," she replied. "We'll go in a circle. First one back wins?"
"Sounds good."
"But uh, first..."
Skyler quickly looked around as if to make sure no one was watching us. Then she bent down and kissed my cheek. I felt like I was frozen.
"And, go!" Skyler said, and took off on her glider.
"Hey!" I yelled, laughing. "No fair!"
And I took off after her. Officially the best day of my life. Skyler taught me something. Sometimes, you're just going to have bad luck. People will hurt you, people will reject you, people will insult you. But as long as you have spirit, nothing can stand in your way.
THE END!

Huo: Fire (He's Fire Nation)
Evron: Extreme anger (He hates them)

Kirai: Hate (She was mean)
Kyrrah: Leader, warrior (She was the leader of the Kyoshi warriors while Suki was away)

Ok, that's it! Be on the lookout for Spirit 2: Flying Solo!
