Disclaimer: I do not own Aang, Katara, Sokka, Momo, Appa or any other great characters of Avatar, although I really wish I did. Oh yeah, and the story isn't true, but I think you already figured that out! I DO own Yuri and Yumi though!

Hey! This is my first story of and my first avatar based story! So please review, even if you think my story is bad, even though I already know that! This is not some OC match up thing, and there will be no match up between my characters and the characters of Avatar: The last Airbender. Although some Katara/ Zuko romance later! The characters are not based off me, but my current best friend and my best friend who recently passed away when she got in a car accident, she loved Avatar, although I was never interested in it until recently. This story is dedicated to her and all that she stood for!

By the way, Paige's nickname is Yumi and Sarah's name is Yuri. This will be mentioned in dialoge but not normal sentences. If that made any sence! You will get it as you read!

The Beginning

I was walking down the hallway of my tiny school to my next class. Suddenly my best friend came up to my side. "Yo!" I said smiling at her.

"Gurt!" She replied. We both laughed at our own joke. "Waz up Yuri?" She asked sounding quite bored.

"Nothing much Paydee, what class do we have next?" I asked glancing up the clock.

"Well let's see, we have to walk down the hallway of doom and into the classroom of torture. What do you think we have?" She said rolling her eyes.

"No, not double S, everybody run! Ahhh!" I said turning around and pretending to run away with me hands in the air, but Paige grabbed my arm and dragged me down the hall.

"I'm sorry, but we have to!" Paige said letting me go, "Now come on."

"No Yumi, you can't make me!" I yelled.

"Wanna bet!" Paige asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Fine, it will make time go faster anyway. Hey guess what's on tonight?" I said catching up to her.

"AVATAR!" We shouted together as we walked into the classroom, "Yippee!"

We took our usual seats next to each other in the back of the classroom, and pulled out our books. In only a few minutes our teacher came running in.

"Sorry class," She said, "but I have to take care of a call in the office. I will be right back!" She dashed out of the room, and everyone began talking.

"I wish our lives were more exiting." Paige said frowning, "Like in Avatar."

"Yeah, It would be great. Then I could meet Zuko!" I said with an exaggerated sigh.

"Or Sokka," Paige added, "Or even better yet, MOMO!" She said grinning.

I gave her a playful shove. Then I looked at the Momo picture I have taped to my book. "Let's have a drawing contest, whoever draws Momo the best wins!" I said pulling out a piece of paper.

Paige nodded as the both drew a series of lines on their paper. Suddenly screams were coming from all around the room. Everyone was trying to get out of the room. I looked up from my paper to see that the room was black, except from a few candles and the light flowing in from the window.

"Yumi I smell smoke!" I said nervously glancing at Paige.

"Yuri, the snow, it's, it's…" Paige cried pointing out the window.

"BLACK!" I screamed, "It's like in The Siege of the North!" I said running to the window, "Our football field! It's an ocean!" I said excited, "Look, ships!" I pointed out into our once football field.

Paige stood next to me, "Those aren't just any ships, they are from the…"

"FIRE NATION!" We both shouted, "WHOOT!" We laughed together.

No one believed we were fifteen, we acted more like five. We peeked out into the hallway and saw fire nation solders searching through the classrooms.

"How did we get into the Avatar World?" I whispered to Paige. She only responded with a shrug.

Suddenly someone came into their classroom. I stared at the figure until my eyes adjusted to the light. I was Zuko! I had to use all my control to keep myself running up to him and giving him a hug.

"I'm looking for the Avatar." He said sounding kind of stressed. "Tell me what you know about him."

"Well we know that you're trying to find him!" I said with a grin. "Is he important?"

"Yes," Zuko said, "He is the only thing standing between me and my throne. Now if you know anything of where he could be, tell me now! If you have nothing to say, then leave the area at ONCE!" He said sharply.

I didn't like his attitude one bit, I felt slightly insulted by his tone. After all, they were here first, why can't he leave the area!

"You know what; you better leave us alone before I…" I said before being tapped on the shoulder by Paige.

"Yuri, I think they are…" Paige said shaking.

"Hold on Yumi!" I yelled, "Anyway, before I…" I continued before being tapped on the shoulder again. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I screamed at Paige.

Paige pointed out the window, "I think they're going to bomb us!" She shrieked.

Sure enough I saw a ball of fire being loaded onto a catapult. With a loud crack the catapult flung the ball into the sky, heading right towards the school. I panicked and searched for a safe place to be. I dove under a desk and curled into a little ball, protecting my head with my hands. I saw Paige trying to follow, but it was too late. The fire ball scraped the top of the classroom, setting the roof on fire. I closed my eyes and hoped that I wouldn't die. I heard the eerie sound of splintering wood and crackling fire, ending with a boom and smoke filled the room. I couldn't breath; the smoke burnt my throat and eyes.

Flaming wood fell down right in front of me, sending my desk up in flames. I screamed and crawled away from it. I gasped for air but there was nothing.

"Help!" I cried, "Please someone help me!" I yelled as hard as I could, but I couldn't even hear myself over the flames. The fire was all around me, like a whirlwind of red and orange. It started spreading onto the floor boards. I shrieked and crawled away from the fire, but I was so weak. Suddenly, there was a familiar grunt from out of the school. Then a thud followed by a strong puff of air. I was blown backwards, but I noticed that the fire in front of me was going out. Suddenly a large plank of wood flew towards me. I felt a hard contact, but then I felt nothing. Everything was black, and silent.

Sorry that the first chapter was short, I will make my next chapter much longer!
