Ok, I'm actually starting to write my first Fan Fiction! -dances- Sorry...Anyways, I hope you like it...No flames please, seeing as this is my first! I've always wanted to write about Avatar, and now is my chance. PLEASE REVIEW! xD And, before you kill me, everyone is the same now as they are in the show! (the most recent show) :P

Ok, this is getting really annoying...There are WAY too many strange Fan Fictions out there...No offense to anyone who writes these, but the Zuko x Katara ones are getting really annoying...Can't there be more than a handful with a good solid plot, that does not need love and crazy OC's? -sighs- Anyways, if mine turns out that way I will kill myself! xD

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar - The Last Airbender or anyone mentioned in the show -wishes-


Water, Earth, Fire, Air
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony
That is, until the Firebenders attacked.
Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them
But, when the world needed him most, he vanished.
100 years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new avatar:
An Airbender named Aang
But although his Airbending skills are great,
He still has a lot to learn before he is ready to save anybody.
But, I believe that Aang can save the world...


Chapter 1: Patterns - Part I


"Helmsman, change course due northeast!" shouted none other than Prince Zuko. According to his calculations, the Avatar was on his way to an Earth Kingdom island in that direction. And their destination was very close, which gave Zuko the chance to surprise them at their arrival.

"Prince Zuko, I do not want you to get over excited. The Avatar may not even be there."

Zuko glared at his Uncle. "Must you chastise me everytime I do something? Everytime I make a decision must you speak out against it? I am not a child anymore Uncle."

"I just don't want you to get hurt Nephew. Besides, even if the Avatar is there, you haven't had any sleep. You won't be able to fight him properly."

"I do not need sleep Uncle! I need to capture the Avatar!" Zuko said curtly. "I'll be in the meditation room if anyone needs me," and with that said, Zuko walked away, leaving Iroh on the deck.

"That boy really needs to focus on something else. He's going to wear himself out," the elderly man muttered to himself, and went off to get a cup of tea.


This Avatar stuff is harder than I thought it would be. Probably even harder than Monk Gyatso even thought it would be. With Zuko chasing after me, all of this pressure, and Zuko it's a wonder we're only weeks from the North Pole.

"EARTH TO AANG!" Sokka said, while shaking him hard. "Aang, what's up with you?"

As Aang seemed to come back to reality, and looked around. He, Katara, and Sokka were on Appa heading North. "I'm fine Sokka..." he said, a little spacey.

"Well then, what do you think?" Sokka asked. "Should we stop today, or push Appa 'till tomorrow?"

Aang considered it for a moment, but then said, "I think Appa can last until tomorrow. Can't you boy?" Appa grunted, and Aang took that as a yes. "Then it's settled, we make camp tomorrow!"

Sokka and Katara nodded and Sokka went into his bed roll. "I'm tired," was all he said before he started snoring.

Aang and Katara laughed. "So Aang, when do you think we'll reach the North Pole?" she asked.

Thinking a moment, Aang responded, "I geuss it all depends on how many times we run into Zuko, and how often Appa gets tired." Aang smiled and said, "You want to practice Waterbending?"

"How? There's no water up here in the sky! You should know that Aang..." Katara said, a little confused.

"Remember? The clouds!" he said excitedly. "They're made of water! We could practice using them..."

Katara looked at Aang and then started grinning. "Sure, that would be fun!" With the flick of her hand, she got a cloud to come racing to her.

"Lemme try!" Aang said as he tried to copy Katara. He was able to get a cloud to come to him, and started making it flip and swerve gracefully. "Look, I'm doing it!" Then he stopped...

"Something wrong Aang?"

Turning, Katara could see an evil grin on Aang's face. "Nope," he said as he looked at Sokka, then at the cloud he was practicing on.

"You don't think-"

"O yes..." Aang said, still smiling evily. Using waterbending, Aang brought a cloud to a stop right above Sokka's head. Katara's eyes widened, but she did not speak. Aang made the water condense into a floating puddle, and dropped it right on Sokka's head.

Katara gasped right as Sokka woke up. Glaring at the two of them, he pratically shouted, "Alright, which one of you did that?"

"Did what?" Aang asked innocently. Katara had the urge to elbow Aang, but it was just all too funny...

"You know very well what Aang! And since you both know Waterbending now, I can't just blame it on Katara..."

Aang started laughing hysterically, but Katara just glared at Sokka..."Now," he continued, "After I dry myself off, I am going back to sleep. I suggest you do the same." Katara and Aang could hear his mutterings about them and their waterbending.

Aang nodded and got into his bed roll. Katara continued to glare at Sokka, although after about 5 minutes of glaring at his back, she decided to get some sleep...

Little did they know, their sleep was in danger of coming to an abrupt halt...


Dun dun dun! The evil cliffie, that is not so evil because I put up the next part to the chapter! Don't you all love me?

There are so many parts in this chapter, that after I wrote, I was like, "Whoah! De ja vu!" xD It scared me a bit...I had to change so many words to have it make sense. Remember: NO FLAMES!

Review before continuing...And be warned, there is a flashback to come. Maybe, even more than one!
