If the time intervals seem wrong, ignore them and correct, in your mind, to your liking. I just estimated how long it would take them since it wasn't too clear in the episodes. Oh, and if Kisa seems Mary Sue-ish, I know.
Atalla: Um..This chapter shouldanswer your question.

Even the Great Fall Down Sometime: Chapter Two
She held out her hand for all to see with the palm up. Just when Sokka was going to smirk, her eyes began to flash a mix of periwinkle and lavender. A small ball of water formed in her hands.
"H-How did you do that?" exclaimed Katara.
Kisa tossed the sphere to her left hand, "At home, they just told me it was my gift and there was no explanation. I can also sense water, but I never really use the spontaneous creation thing; I think it screws with the balance in nature. The weather also affects it; when it's too hot out, it'll just die out on me."
It was already late into the evening when Zuko and Kisa's battle had ended. Now it was well into the night, but still just bright enough to see. They stopped in an open field for the night. Kisa was wrapping herself in her cloak when Sokka walked up.
"Here." Sokka handed Kisa his sleeping bag.
"Huh? What about you?"
"I'm not the one in a skirt. I can sleep with Appa." Sokka replied as he settled into Appa's fur.
"Thanks Sokka. " Kisa smiled once again.

The next day, while flying over ocean again, Kisa took away Aang's glider and told him to jump off.
"He'll drown or die from the impact!" Katara shouted.
"Aang isn't ready for that yet." Sokka argued.
Kisa rolled her eyes and crawled onto Appa's head and whispered something into his ear. The bison ascended further into the sky. Kisa, still on Appa's head, stood up and threw her bow to Sokka. Without any warning, she jumped off with her arms spread-eagle. Katara looked like she was going to faint and a weird gasp-like scream came from the vicinity of Sokka. Aang looked down but the clouds blocked his view. Appa, without anyone's command, began to lower himself.
"What impact Katara?" Kisa yelled happily, her smile brighter than the sun itself.
Kisa was standing on the water with her hands out at her side, palms down towards the water. When Appa was on the ocean next to her, they could see the water below her feet was like a spinning disk. It spun in place but, they couldn't tell if it was with or against the current. The water's current did not go left to right but up toward the surface and down towards the ocean floor. This man-made current pushed Kisa upward, keeping her from penetrating the surface.
"That's cheating! Aang isn't up to that level yet?" Sokka protested.
"Sokka, he's the Avatar; his skills were and always will be higher than mine. If his skill was as refined as mine like they soon will be, he will outmatch me easily."
Sokka didn't say anymore since Kisa did have a point. Now Kisa was trying to get Aang to do it but he wouldn't. What Kisa didn't know was how and why he disappeared for 100 years.
"Aang, I know you can do this." Kisa tried to encourage him.
"Kisa, " Sokka pulled her off the water and to a far end of the saddle, "don't force him to do this. His Avatar powers might lose control again."
She understood that and said that Aang could do it when he's ready. Again like the hundreds of times before, Aang said yip-yip and Appa soared. But what had surprised Kisa was how concerned and worried Sokka looked when he pulled her aside. A second impression of the boy was brought forth to her mind.

"So she is the Extinguisher?" Admiral Zhao commented as he observed her through his eyeglass. "Her beauty exceeds from what we have heard."
"Then what about the rumor that her archery skills best those of the YuuYan archers?"
"We'll see Lieutenant…We'll see."

"Another stop, great." Sokka said sarcastically.
"So why are we here?" Katara asked, hinting at the river.
"I want Aang to try the water serpent."
"Already!"
Out of no where, an arrow whipped its way towards Aang. Kisa pulled the arrow out of the tree it had buried it's arrowhead into. From the arrow's design, she knew it meant Fire Nation. She told Aang, Katara, and Sokka to run. When they refused to, she flicked them away with a giant wave, even Appa and Momo.
"What a noble thing to do."
"Admiral Zhao, am I right?"
"So you've heard about me?"
"No the huge sideburns gave it away—my friends told me about you. Power hungry, impatient, no control, big ego, and sideburns…Did I miss anything?"
Anyone, not only Zhao, would've been pissed off. Like usual, he began to fire off at the sight of movement. He lacked finesse and was very messy. Zuko was a far better bender concerning skill but Zhao had the experience and the power. Kisa had no problem against Zhao. In the midst of their battle, Zhao asked her, "Have you ever thought to join the Fire Nation?"
"No. Never. I will never help the people that murdered mine."
"Is there a difference? We are of the same nation, the Fire Nation. Your people are my people." Zhao laughed.
"That may be true, but I wasn't born a Firebender and I wasn't born a monster. My people separated themselves from the Fire Nation for a reason. They didn't believe in the war Ozai wanted to win. They didn't want the power that he wanted." Kisa didn't want to talk any more, she wanted to take this creep out. Several minutes later, she had done just exactly that.

For weeks since Kisa joined their crew, Zuko was hot on their trail. Aang, who is 12 but technically 112, convinced everyone to take a break and take part in a random Earth Kingdom festival. Kisa didn't like it there; it was unusually hot and dry for an Earth Kingdom city. Even though she had her combat skills, a Waterbender is a Waterbender till the end.
"Let's get some of those!" Aang drooled as he watched a woman prepare some kind of meat and then arranged it in a bun covered in honey. Kisa, who had come to love Aang like her little brother, bought a dozen buns for them all.
Katara spotted some unwanted company and in mid-chew, she pointed and whispered, "Prince Zuko."
It was very clear that Fire Nation was not welcome, even a banished prince. There were hisses, boos, and pointing similar to Katara's. Quickly, the four hid behind the bun booth and they could hear the tramp of feet go by and pass. Sokka motioned for them to run but as soon as they stepped out, they were surrounded. Kisa growled when she saw the old lady running the bun booth being led out with a knife to her throat.
"This kind lady told me a girl with purple eyes and a tattooed monk bought some buns from her." Zuko drawled. "Then she graciously told us she saw you run behind her small establishment." And then he motioned for his men to let the elderly woman go.
Kisa was about to reach for her bow when she realized that in this intense heat, it would be hard to conjure up some water. Then adding the heat from Zuko's firebending would only make things worse. Zuko grinned his smug, in-your-face smile because he knew why she hesitated. He relished this moment quickly before his hands flared with immense heat.
Sokka was suddenly before her with his blade in hand. Great fear gathered in her heart when Sokka said to her, "Just stay behind me, I'll protect you." Aang was busy warding off all the other men and protecting Katara. Against Prince Zuko; against a Firebender, Sokka had no chance of survival. She put a hand on Sokka's back and told him, "Don't."
As Zuko made his move, Kisa squatted down, stuck out a leg, and knocked Sokka down and saved him from the flying flames. When Sokka got back onto his feet, she pushed him down and ran dead ahead for Zuko's person. A singe here and a burn there was nothing compared to the punch that Kisa landed on Zuko's face and the kick that sent him flying.
"Don't belittle me because I don't have my waterbending." Kisa tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and glared at him.
"I shouldn't have. Kisa, if you joined our side, your birth side, your life will be spared. Not only that but you will be given riches and power. If you are captured, my father will definitely kill you."
