Prologue

"No Aang!" A frustrated Sokka said, about ready to tear his hair out. Or what was left of it at least. It had been a whole year since the three had seen Sokka & Katara's Tribe. At last, they were coming home for a visit.

"Now are we there?" Aang asked, in a deeper voice. He had grown older and more powerful, over the last year. He had a more developed body that was several inches taller and rock hard muscles. The Avatar had mastered three elements, Water, Air, and Earth. Now all that was left was the powerful and deadly Fire. The element that alone had conquered the Earth Kingdom, Water Tribes, and had driven the Air Nation to death. The one last element that was the most merciless of them all.

Sokka sighed and looked up at the sky, not even answering Aang's question. He screwed up his face. Why me? Why the leader?

"Sokka's instincts." Aang replied simply. Since Aang had gotten more powerful in bending, he had also developed amazing skills in mind. He surprised the others, and had also learned many secrets from them which he never shared with them that he knew.

"Aang, what did I tell you about mind reading?" Sokka grumbled. He sat on Appa's neck, holding the reigns tightly now from irritation.

"Sorry, 'Sokka's instincts.'" Aang laughed. Katara tried to hold in her giggles, but burst out laughing instead. Sokka glared back at them and they instantly put on straight faces. This old joke had been annoying Sokka for months. 'Sokka's instincts this.' 'Sokka's instincts that.' The warrior turned back to looking in front of him, and keeping an eye out for the village. He still sulked a little lower. Stupid Aang with his stupid mind reading abilities…

Sokka's thoughts just kinda popped into Aang's head. The thoughts of others just seemed to echo through his mind whenever he looked at them. He looked away from Sokka, not wanting to hear any more.

Why is Sokka so mad at me? What did I do? Aang questioned himself.

Katara looked out over the sea. It had been a long time since her family had been close. She closed her eyes and gently remembered the feel of being with her family. A warm wave spread through her body. She knew they were close. She opened her eyes and looked out over the waves. Nothing yet, but soon her family would again be beside her. Her face lay out a dreamy look.

Sokka glanced back at the others and held in laughs at Katara's expression. He could almost tell what she was thinking about. He turned his graze back to in front of them. The warrior put his glove warmed hands over his forehead so he could scout out home better. He squinted his eyes. Tons of chunks of ice lay over the water. Appa occasionally would have to dodge glaciers. Once again, Appa soared over a huge glacier. He scraped his feet against it just for the joy of flight. Then, over the huge mound of frozen water Sokka spotted some smoke. As Appa came closer he could see small houses. His snow fort was still up.

Were home.
