Unfortunately, I do not own Avatar: the last airbender. It belongs to Nickelodeon and its original creators.

"I'll never get it." Aang sighed and slouched over. Katara leaned against a tree starring at the frustrated boy.

(Katara's thoughts)

What can I do? I knew I shouldn't have changed my mind. Maybe I should stay away from Aang. No, I can't do that to him. Hmm…Wait a minute…

(End of Katara's thoughts)

"I've got it!" Katara snapped.

"What?!" Aang asked surprised. Katara turned and began running back to camp. "Where are you going?" Aang yelled still on the ground. Katara came back with someone. "What are you doing? Why did you go get Song?"

"Well, I thought if Song was with us, you could focus more." Katara said carefully sitting down. "Now then, try to focus on Song." Aang nodded and sat in his meditative position. Aang began to glow bright, but this time, wind didn't swirl around him. "Aang? Can you hear me?" Katara reached out to touch his shoulder. Aang's eyes opened, still glowing bright. His face turned over to Katara who held Song close.

"Song…" Aang said reaching his hand out to her. Large streams of bright water circled Aang slowly. "I've got the cure." Aang said tears coming to his eyes. "I've got it!" Aang yelled. Katara smiled and congratulated him. "I can do this." Aang said beginning to get up, but was pushed back down. "What's happening?" Aang said going back into his meditative position. "Katara!" Air began to swirl around him.

"Aang! No! You're going into the Avatar State!" Katara passed Song on over to her right arm and readied her left with a stream of water to whip Aang. Aang began to rise up into the sky, but was prevented once again by the stinging sensation of a water whip.

"Ow!" Aang screamed falling back to the Earth. "Why did you do that Katara? I got it down and you just took me out of it!" Aang said upset.

"Aang, you were going into the Avatar State again…" Katara said.

"No I wasn't I was in the controlled Avatar state! I could have cured Song right there but you had to take me out of it! Why did you do that Katara?!" Aang yelled.

"Aang, calm down. What's wrong with you?" Katara questioned. "Never mind, I'm going to go set Song back in her crib. We can pick this up tomorrow."

"No Katara we can't, I only have 3 days left! Don't you get it? Song has to be cured in three days! We don't have all the time in the world!" Aang yelled again.

"Aang I know mastering this thing might be frustrating but you don't have to get so angry about it…" Katara sadly said. "Now, do you want to come back to camp or do you just want to stay here?"

"I'm going to stay here and practice this move. I have to get it down or Song will die. You don't seem to think of this as any importance so I might just do this on my own." Aang said turning around.

"Whatever…" Katara began to walk back to camp.

"Hey what's all the fuss about? I heard yelling?" Sokka said running to Katara.

"Its nothing, Aang's just very frustrated right now." Katara said looking down.

"Oh, ok. Hey I'm going to see what this island has. See if there is a village around or something so we can pack up on supplies." Sokka said.

"Ok, but be careful." Katara said.

"Yeah, yeah I will."

-------------TWO HOURS LATER---------------

Aang returned back to camp. He spots Katara sitting by the fire poking at it. "Hey Katara, I-I'm sorry about what happened back at the river." Aang said placing his hand behind his head. Katara said nothing. "I was just really frustrated. I don't know, I…" he paused. "I don't know if I can do it." Aang lowered his head. Katara looked up and saw the drown look on his sorry face. She got up from the log she sat on and walked over to him.

"I know Aang; it can get frustrating at times. But don't let your hopes down. I know for sure that you can do it." Katara held Aang close.

"Thanks Katara." Aang said. "Where's Sokka?"

"Oh, he went to go investigate the island. You know to see if there is a town around or something."

"Oh, ok."

"Hey I think I might go to bed early tonight. Are you coming?"

"Yeah." Aang got up and walked into the tent with Katara.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This island is totally uninhabited!" Sokka yelled. "No town, no shops, not even a drinking fountain!" Sokka said swinging his machete back and forth at the vines. "Well I guess ill head back and tell them the bad news. We should leave in the morning." Sokka began to head back, but was distracted by a large noise.

"Search this island, Prince Zuko wants the Avatar alive." Sokka's eyes widened.

"No…"
