Sorry it took so long to update. I've been so busy with my research paper that I hadn't had a chance to update. Damn English teacher! I guess it isn't her fault. The school board makes up all of the requirements, so I guess I should cuss them out. What can you do? But here's something that makes me happy. I have all day to write stories. Yay!

Last Female Firebender: I usually do this at the end, but I wanted to do it at the end. Anyways, I'll get on changing Zhao's name. I thought that was how you spelt it, but someone said it was the other way. Thanks. Make sure you start writing some more stories and let me know about them. Cya.

Warnings

It had been a week since the four teenagers had arrived at the North Pole to learn waterbending. It didn't take long for Aang, Katara, or Stella to master the techniques. Aang was already a natural at bending. Katara had taught herself most of her own moves and she had Stella to help her. Stella caught on quickly because she was finally starting to recognize all the moves her grandmother had taught her so long ago. Everything was going so smoothly that Kami decided that they had learned everything she could teach them. They would be able to leave at the end of the day.

Sokka was watching the three practice their bending skills on each other. He had to admit. They were pretty incredible, especially Stella. She looked so graceful as she let the water flowed through her fingers. She looked so calm and happy.

Sokka had been thinking a lot about Stella lately. He felt like he could live with her forever. Hold on, he thought. Why are you thinking about Stella? You said you loved Suki. How is she going to feel when I tell her that I'm in love with a firebender? Everything was so confusing for him these days. Why couldn't he figure anything out?

"Do you like what you see, young man?" Sokka turned to see Kami standing next to him. "It looks like you have developed an interest for my granddaughter."

"No way!" Sokka denied. "You're imagining things, grandma." Kami just laughed at him.

"I may be old, but I haven't gone insane yet. I can tell when a young man falls in love. I had a daughter once. You look at Stella the same way her father looked at my daughter. It is ok to admit your feelings. I'm just going to warn you. Stella is delicate and naive. She will put her heart into anything she does, even if it is loving you. Please don't hurt her. Be gentle with her. It could decide if the world ends."

Kami walked away and let Sokka think to himself. Now he was even more confused. What would he do now? Did he really want to risk hurting Stella for something that wouldn't last? How would he choose between Stella and Suki? Suki had kissed him and said that he needed to return, but Stella made him feel so whole. She was his sunshine, his fresh breath. He decided to think about it when the time came. He walked away and prepared to leave.

Appa was already to go. Stella was saying her final goodbyes to her grandmother before they left. It was so hard to let go of her, but Stella knew she had to learn firebending in order to protect the people she loved.

"Thank you for everything, grandmother," Stella said as tears streamed down her face. Kami smiled and wiped her granddaughter's tears away.

"Don't cry," Kami said. "You'll see me again. I promise. Just be strong for me…and your mother." Stella smiled and walked over to Appa to get on. Katara was walking by Kami when she stopped the young waterbender. "Remember what I told you, Katara. Don't leave Stella. She needs you and your brother more than ever. She needs her friends. Do you understand?" Katara nodded and bowed in gratitude. They left as soon as they could, leaving Kami thinking to herself.

Stella will still go through many trials. I fear that her power will consume her. I pray that those three can help her control her powers. Kami walked back to her hut and shut the door as Appa disappeared over the horizon.

The North Pole was starting to disappear behind the giant flying bison as Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Stella flew through the clouds. Stella decided to break the silence.

"Alright, we got waterbending down. Two down and two to go, Aang. Then I can learn to firebend and this will be all over."

"I'm afraid we have a long way to go, Stella," Aang said as he steered Appa through the sky, but Stella wouldn't quit.

"Come on, Aang. Don' be so gloomy. We need to cheer up and be optimistic. So, who are you going to learn earthbending from?" Katara turned around with a smile and answered.

"I know just where to go. We need to find Haru."

Yeah, it is a little short. I don't know exactly how to do this story anymore. All I know is that Haru is going to be in the next chapter and some other unexpected characters. Cya
