"Aiko, you had to see this! There was this sphere of water floating above my hands and it was like I was doing that…I was controlling it!" I said to my best friend Aiko on the phone the next day.

"Sure, and Rei can Firebend." Aiko said, with an incredulous voice.

Rei is another one of my friends. He's 15, real tall for his age, and he seems like a bully, but really isn't. He has a younger sister, Gin, who is 11. She can get annoying at times, but she's a solid member of our "Avatar Gang". No, we don't do graffiti, or face off against other gangs who trespass into our hood. We're just some dorky teens, and one 11-year-old who love Avatar, and aren't afraid to say so.

Aiko is an only child, and that's why I envy her. She's 14 too, and always carries her laptop around, and she somehow managed to have Internet anywhere. She's a computer geek, but that's why we love her. She also has an annoying sense of humor.

"No, I'm serious!" I said, shaking in my chair.

"Fine, I'll come over. But this better not be a joke, or else you're in for it!"

I was too scared to try the sphere thing out again alone, so I waited for Aiko to show up.

"So… Let's see you 'Waterbend'." Aiko said in an annoyed and sarcastic voice.

"OK. We have to go to a sink. The one in the garage is probably the best- it's the biggest." I said, heading towards the door to our cars' home.

Aiko yawned and followed me.

"Oh my God, did you see the end of Avatar last night?" Aiko burst out randomly.

"No."

"How could you miss it? Is something wrong with you?"

"No, but my sister made sure that I missed it."

"Bummer."

"No kidding. Now, let's see if it works." I said, standing in front of the sink.

"It better work!"

I ignored Aiko and turned on the water. She gave me a bored looked as I put my hands around the stream of water.

"Common!" I said to the water, as nothing happened.

"Boring!" Aiko shouted.

"Shut up!" I cried, clenching my fists and opening them up again and concentrating on the water.

"That's it, I'm going home!"

"Some friend you are!"

"Well, thanks for tricking me!"

"I'm not! It happened!"

"Yeah, sure! I believe you."

"God, Aiko! Why won't you believe me?"

"Because it isn't possible. It defies the laws of gravity."

"Nerd!"

"Fake!"

"Shut the hell up!"

Aiko looked at me, and then headed to the door. "Bye, I'm leaving."

"Fine, leave then!"
