Aang's Adventures

A/N: I'm so amped to type out the whole authors notes… I just did…. Anyways (Everytime I say that, I will remember you, Echo Ghost! Did I mention I like ghosts? I don't believe I did… well… I like ghosts! So there:D)

Anyways… (EG...)… What I wanted to say before I so rudely interrupted myself was that this chapter is one I tried my best to carry out. So be gentle. -

It is to flow into the next chappie, when I put it up, that is...


Katara:

Chapter: What is This?

"I'm soooooo hungry… and you guys wouldn't let me sing K-I-S-S-I-N-G…" Sokka complained. He yawned loudly. I looked at Sokka, awaiting more.

"I know Appa is just a flying cow can't he sing or something?"

I glared. "Sokka, Appa is a bison. Not a cow."

"So? I want to hear some music. Sing or something Katara," Sokka suggested. I blushed.

"Nah… that's alright…" I stuttered.

Aang smiled at me. "If you don't wanna sing, I'll do it. I know hundreds of songs."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here's one of my favorites: I will dedicate… and sacrifice my every, thing for just a second's worth… of how my story's ending. I wish I could rule, the directions that I take, and all the choices that I make… won't end up all for nothing! Show me what it's for!"

"Aang? What song is that?" I asked.

"Huh? Oh! Don't worry about that. I'll sing another song for you though: Some people want it all! But I don't…. want nuthin at all! If it ain't you baby! If I ain't got you baby!"

"Aang that's a nice one! Where did it come from?"

"My Ipod…" he replied, matter-of-factly.

"Hey Sokka? What's an Ipod?" I asked.

Sokka poked out his lips. "Beats me… hey, sing another song. You're good at this, even if your voice is kinda squeaky…"

"Alright, one more: When there's trouble you know who to call! TEEN TITANS! From their tower they can see it all! TEEN TITANS! When there's evil on the attack, you rest cause they got your back. Cause when the world has heroes on patrol… TEEN TITANS GOOOO!"

Aang smiled from ear to ear. "That was my favorite TV show of all time!" he exclaimed.

"I wish I knew what a TV was…" I hinted. Aang didn't catch the clue.

"Me too!" he replied.

(Grumble…)


We came upon the Southern Air Temple. It stood amidst the clouds. I stared in awe as I realized that we could, and might, come face to face with another bender.

We landed, where Aang decided to make a fire. Unfortunately, he used the wrong fuel.

"AANG! That's my lunch! YOU Burned my LUNCH!" Sokka cried.

Aang smiled. "Sorry Sokka. I didn't know," he apologized. I laughed at the two.

"Sokka, you have to let Aang warm up. We are used to the cold, even though Aang was the one stuck in a glacier… "

We sat around the fire for a minute, before Aang began to get depressed.

"There's no one here… I thought that they'd all still be here, waiting for me. Maybe we should take a look around some more…" Aang suggested. I looked at him, a bit worried.


"Hey! Katara! This is Air Ball!" he yelled. Sokka had found a game in the temple when we began to search. He figured Aang would be happier if we played a game. Aang motioned frantically for me to follow him. I eagerly joined them.

Air Ball was a sport where you try to get a ball through a hoop. I ah… think it's like the sport called basketball, or soccer maybe.

We all began to play after a while. We were having a lot of fun, when Sokka was knocked back for a second. I glanced at him.

"Aang, give me a second. I'm gonna check on Sokka."

Aang smiled. "Alright Katara. I'll be right here," he replied. Aang began to play by himself for a second or so.

I walked over to Sokka. "You okay Sokka?" I asked. He frowned.

"I'm okay, but what's this thing? It this like… a Firebender helmet? Katara… if this is… that means-"

"That we can't tell Aang!" I exclaimed. I snatched the helmet. "If he sees this, he'll die."

"Yeah, you're right. You know this means that the Fire Nation came here…" Sokka trailed off.

"And wiped out every Airbender. Crap!" I finished. I gave Sokka back the helmet

Right then, Aang became suspicious, and walked toward us. I hit the helmet from Sokka's hands and covered it with some snow with my Waterbending. Unfortunately, I think I gave Sokka frostbite when I covered him with snow too…

"Great Katara! You're getting better every time!" he clapped. Phew!


"My teacher was the greatest ever. He taught me a lot," Aang said quietly. I listened intently and we entered the actual monastery. It was SO elaborate.

"You know. These temples always reminded me of Final Fantasy X," Aang said. Huh?

There were HUGE doors at the end of the hallway. I was in awe at the sheer size of them. Aang scrunched his eyebrows a little.

"My master told me to come into this chamber once. I never did enter. Maybe I should try that now, right?" Aang asked to no one in particular. He glanced at me.

"Will you and Sokka come with me?" he asked.

I nodded. Sokka put his hands behind his head, his stomach rumbling. "I don't care. The first edible thing I see, I'm going to wolf it down," he commented. Brothers…

Inside the chamber, my breath caught in my throat. Statues. A lot of extravagant statues. They all looked slightly like Aang.

Aang walked toward the statues, looking at them. His hand swept one. "Wow…they're still here..." he whispered.

I breathed in sharp breath. Had I been holding it?

"What…Who, are they? Is that a Firebender?" I asked.

Sokka snorted. "Isn't it obvious? These are the past Avatars… or Aangs. Duh!" Sokka yawned.

"That one's a Waterbender Katara, and that one right there's an Earthbender."

I looked at Sokka. He wasn't so stupid I guess…

Aang was about to say something when some sort of creature sprang from the back of the statues. Aang perked up immediately.

"A monkey! A lemur!" he exclaimed.

Sokka's eyes widened. "Pot-au-feu! Yakitori! Think of the possibilities! All the foods I can COOK! Oh yeah! Here Mr. Lemur!"

(Pot-au-feu: a French dish made by boiling meat and vegetables.)

(Yakitori: a dish of marinated chunks of meat.)

Aang and Sokka chased after the little animal all the way to the edge of a mountain or something like that. I don't quite remember. I did, however, notice a small medallion from the Fire Nation on the ground. I bent down to admire it. I wondered where it came from… Probably from one of the soldiers, duh… but I knew that it was much too… feminine to have been from a soldier. I placed the medal in a small pouch I carry with me.

I heard some commotion in the tent after a while.

"Sokka! Aang! What's going on?" I yelled. No answer.

I made my way, safely mind you, down the side of the cliff. Upon my arrival, Sokka was blasted back into me by a sudden rush of wind.

"Aaah! Katara!" he yelled. I struggled to move Sokka. He held his abdomen in pain as I sat him upright.

"Wha happened? Where's Aang!" I asked frantically. I looked ahead of me. There was a tent. It was really looking bad though. So much wind…

"Aang! He's going ballistic! There were skeletons, and stuff… his master was killed Katara. That Firebender guy is so going to find us if that little monk doesn't calm down!" Sokka shouted above the wind through gritted teeth.

I laid him down, and started to run for the tent.

"Aang! Please calm down!" I pleaded. Aang was suspended within an orb of wind that I think was eroding the ground. The things in the tent were being destroyed with Aang's every heartbeat.

(A/N: I swear, I don't know what to write that will be exactly like the show. Bear with me! -)

Aang's eyes and the arrows on his body were glowing. I gasped.

"Aang! I'm sorry that your master was killed, but you need to be calm!" I yelled.

No response.

"I know you're hurting right, now… I know how it feels to have someone you love die. My…m… mom… she died. I know how you feel…" I uttered.

Aang's face remained dormant, without any emotion. I knew though, that I had to keep trying.

"Aang… Come on. I need you. I need you to open your eyes and try to calm down. We… have to save the world from the Firebenders together… I don't want you to be sad anymore…" I whispered, lowering my head. Aang was way to peaceful and sweet to be so depressed.

In seconds, I felt the wind dying down. My eyes raised back to see Aang floating forlornly in midair, his body twisting gymnastically. I put my arms out as Aang fluttered into them.

"Good Aang… I'm proud of you…" I murmured. Aang's eyes opened.

"Hi Katara. Where's Sokka?" he uttered with a smile.

I smiled at him. "He's resting outside. He had a bit of an accident."

"That's good… I mean… bad. Heh heh." Aang used his Airbending to float out of my arms andout of the tent. I smiled, followed him out.


The lemur was caught in time... by Aang. Aang named it Momo. Don't be sad for Sokka though. Momo brought him a nice juicy fruit! -


Author's Notes: That's all until next chappie, which will be up quick. How'd I do?
