I don't claim "Avatar: The Last Airbender" characters or any other pieces of their property, but I do claim Li, Kanan, Kai, Chao, and Mistia, Of course, those are my claims for the chapter. I don't want to give away the story! Anyway, on to the story!


Sokka's stomach roared. "AUGH! I'M SO HUNGRY!" he moaned. Katara shot an angry glare at him.

"Would you please shut up? We're going to land soon, okay?" Katara snapped.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a pastry was flung onto Appa's saddle. It was warm and it smelled delicious. Sokka stared at it for a moment in disbelief but then jumped to grab it. Momo took it just before he did, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Momo! What did you do that for?" Sokka yelled at him. Then another pastry was flung onto the saddle and it bounced on Sokka's head. He got that one and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked over the edge of the saddle, hoping for another one. He could see somebody standing on their roof. They had a slingshot, and was loading another pastry. Katara glanced down as well.

"Aang, land over at that house! There's free food!" Sokka told Aang.

"Free food? Alright!" Aang said. "Appa! Yip Yip!" Aang pulled Appa's reigns to head for the house with somebody standing on it.

When they landed, the person who had been standing on the roof was gone. Sokka jumped off of Appa and looked around. "Hey, where'd they go? Where's the food!"

Suddenly, four kids jumped onto the roofs of the houses. They all held slingshots, aimed at Aang, Katara, and Sokka. They had nuts, pebbles, or any other small projectile in their slingshots.

"Hold your fire!" called a voice from behind one of the houses. The kids shot their ammunition at the ground, and held their slingshots still. A girl walked out from behind the house with an angry look, but when she saw Aang and Appa, it changed to a look of astonishment. "You! You're an airbender!" she cried. Aang almost fell at the sudden outburst. "I thought that I was the only…" she trailed off. She stared at the ground in her astonishment.

One of the kids on the roof jumped down. She ran over to the girl who was apparently their leader. "Li, are you alright? Li?" She reached to put a hand on Li's shoulder, but Li wasn't there anymore. She'd jumped onto Aang, squeezing his lungs.

"Aang! I missed you so much! I thought you were dead!" she cried, tears coming out of her eyes from her overwhelming excitement. The three other kids jumped off the houses and had to pull Li off of Aang. Aang fell to the ground, coughing. Katara rushed over to him.

"Aang, breathe! Breathe!" Katara cried, trying to get Aang to breathe. The kids had to hold Li back from grabbing him again.

Sokka jumped into the scene. "Who do you think you are? You nearly crushed him! And what's with the slingshots?" He asked angrily.

The only boy in the group slapped the back of Li's head, and she went back to normal. "Thanks Chao." Li straightened herself out and cleared her throat. "I'm Li. I'm sorry for almost crushing you." She said, in a slightly cheery tone.

Katara stood up. Aang was able to recover on his own from this point. "Do I know you?"

Li looked at him strangely before something came to her mind. "Um, no. I uh, just knew your name…"

"Alright. Wait, you're an air bender? I thought they all died." Aang said.

"That's what I thought too. I'm from a northern air temple, and I haven't seen any air benders but myself. I lived there alone, until I decided to leave." Li said sadly. This though, wasn't true. Li was lying. It was this lie that would lead to terrible happenings.
