Hi people, this is my first Avatar fanfic! Please R&R

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender, but if I did life would be great! And I would make Aang and Katara the same age so they could be together! And did you guys see the new episode? It was so good. I loved it. I can't wait for the new episode. I found out it's coming out on the same date as the Harry Potter movie (Nov. 18) I now I have to choose. Ok, now I put you through enough of my blabbering, now to the story!

Sari ran over to the benders. She tried to impersonate to the podium that Katara and herself had built, but it had been hard to do without Katara to help her. So the podium was a little wobbly. She climbed up on it and said " Ok, Quite down. I'm going to let you split up into groups of 4. Then I'm going to watch what you guys know." She finished talking and stepped down from the podium, the groups started to form. She stood at the front as the groups talked and practiced their Waterbending, for a few minutes. While she watched, she tried to picture the Waterbending scroll she saw, a few weeks ago, before she had "appeared" in the tiny village right outside of the large Northern Water Tribe capital. She reached up to touch her necklace. She felt the little clasp that, as she remembered, once held a charm. As she was holding the charm, she thought, "What if we can't beat the solders? What will happen to us?"

Sari wondered from each group. Some groups were really experienced, since they were born in the capital. Others were born in the villages outside of the capital and weren't as experienced. Then all the way in the back, there were 2 groups of women trying to master a simple move. She walked over to them and said, " Would you like some help?"

" Oh, gladly! We've only been trained in healing. So we're not that experienced."

"You mean, women can't learn waterbending for fighting, only for healing?"

"You didn't know that, and you live in the Northern Water Tribe?"

"Well, I really don't live in the Northern Water Tribe. Somehow I got here magically!"

"Really? By the way you act, you seem like you really were born here. Maybe sometime when we're not training, we can talk about your homeland."

"I'd like that."

After Sari showed them how to do the Water Whip and make a giant wave, she went of to a group of men that looked like they were masters. When she got over to the men, she said "Well it seems I don't have to teach you guys, but maybe you could give me a few pointers?" "Well, we don't usually teach girls, but since you're our leader and since Master Pakku has taken your friends as his students, and one of them being a girl, I guess we could teach you." Said one of the men in the group.

"Cool, but maybe later. I've got to report the progress to Aang."

Now to Katara

Katara and all of the women and children ran to one of the big tents. Everybody walked in and went into the middle of the tent. Katara built a podium out of snow she had gotten from outside. She stepped up on it and said "Ok, This is what we're going to do. One woman, start a fire to keep all the children warm. Then I will set up 2 small groups and send them out on a search for food. Then I'm going to report all the progress to Aang. Does everybody understand?"

Katara looked around at the people. They were afraid, yet they managed to say, "Yes". A few minutes later, the large tent began to warm up, thanks to the fire on of the woman built. She stood up. She gathered all the strongest women, set them up into 2 groups, and sent them out to look for food.

She walked over to the bag that had gone with Aang, Sokka, and herself from the journey. She opened it up and reached into the little secret pocket she had made to hold what was inside. She slowly pulled the piece of blue fabric out. She unfolded the fabric and picked up what was inside. It was a blue charm, just like the one on Katara's necklace, but instead of the Waterbending symbol, it had the Water Nation symbol on it. Katara held it close, because it was all she had left of her younger sister. She decided to show the charm to Sari when she came to the tent when she was done with her assignment. She decided that if Sari was going to be joining their "family", they should at least act like family.

A half an hour later, the food groups came back. Some people were carrying tons of food, while others were pulling sleds full of food. When Katara saw all the food, she thought: Wow, This is so much food! It's enough to feed the whole tribe for at least a week, or maybe 2 days just for Sokka!

To Sokka

Sokka walked over to his group of "soldiers" and started muttering under "Why do I get all the bad soldiers? I'm going to go up to Aang and ask him if we can just combine out groups to make one big group of soldiers." Sokka turned around and marched right up to Aang, who was leaning up against the podium playing with Momo.(A.N. Aang needs to have some fun in his life sometimes! LOL!) Sokka walked right up to Aang and said, "What are you doing? You should be getting your group ready! I mean there's a Fire Nation ship out there for you! What are you doing having fun?"

"Uhh…." Aang said, "Having fun?" Sokka walked away disgusted, and merged the two groups together. "Oh well, less work for me! Now for more fun!"

To be continued…

Yea! I loved the Marathon! I finally got to see the 1st two episodes complete! Last time I saw them, I hated the show (hard to believe, even for me!) Yea, and I got to finish this chapter! This has been a great week for me! Thanks to all the reviews, those are the only things that keep me writing; except for the fact that I like being a published writer! And I'd like to give a big welcome to my wonderful editor, my friend Sara H! Say Hi Sara, who is sitting right next to me! she looks over at me and gives me a weird look
