Chapter 1

"Barb hurry up it's going to start soon!" yelled 15 Shelby Nashland from her living room getting all the pillows she could and placing them in front of the TV.

"Yeah well tell your microwave that! It's slower than a snail!" came a voice came from the next room.

Shelby sighed and shook her head, wiping a piece of her blonde hair out of her face he continued to stuff all the pillows she could in front of the TV. When she was satisfied with her work she went over to the oak coffee table and pushed it across the carpeted floor next to the staircase. She glanced at the clock 7:58 her hazel eyes widened.

"Hurry up the new episode comes on at 8 Barb and it's 7:58!"

Then a girl popped out from behind the door to the living room. She looked about 15 years old. She had her long light brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. Her icy blue eyes and her skin white were standing out against her fire red pajamas. She had a huge smile on her face and held out a bowl to her friend.

"I finally got your microwave to working!" she said while stuffing a few pieces of pop-corn in her mouth.

"I can't believe it!" exclaimed Shelby walking over and taking a fist full of pop-corn "That stupid thing won't usually work for anyone but my mom!"

"Wonder why?" said Barb watching her friend stick the pieces in her mouth one at a time.

Shelby shrugged "I don't know. When I was 7 I tried heating up my happy meal and it electrocuted me."

Suddenly the Avatar theme could be heard playing on the TV.

"THE SHOW!" screamed the girls running into the room both jumping onto the pile of pillows………………..unfortunately Barb was still holding the bowl of popcorn sending it flying everywhere.

"BARB!" cried Shelby wiping off the popcorn from her white pajamas.

"Sorry!" said Barb gathering up pieces of the junk food off the floor and pillows.

Shelby sighed "That's O.K. we can watch the episode while put it back in the bowl." she got up onto her knees a started to pick up the food.

Barb looked up at the screen "Look there's the title."

Shelby turned to see the screen at the bottom of it was the titled "The Storm." she grinned and thought to herself "This should be good!" as she and Barb picked up the buttery junk food.

/Time Gap:

Half an hour later after the popcorn was thrown into the garbage can down stairs and the episode was over the girls were still talking about it excitedly.

"Can you believe that fisherman!" said Barb

"Yeah really how could anyone say things like that!"

"Especially to a 12 year old kid!"

"And what about Zuko!"

"I can't believe it his own father! Talk about child abuse!"

Finally after about an hour of this the two girls ran out of things to talk about the episode and moved on to other things. They where both staring at the white ceiling on top of their mountain of pillows.

"Hey Barb." said Shelby as she turned her head.

"What?"

"If you could be any type of bender what would you be?"

"That's easy" said Barb sitting up "I'd be a firebender."

Shelby smiled "I thought so."

Barb laughed "How could you have guessed!"

"Well let's see 1 Your fav color is red 2 You light candles all the time and 3 You have a short temper!" said Shelby counting each one off.

"I do not have a short temper!"

"You do too!"

There was a squeal from Shelby as Barb pinned her down with a big silver pillow. "Well then what type of bender would be!"

"Well if you would get off me I could tell you!" said Shelby slightly muffled by the pillow.

Barb let her friend get off the ground and Shelby sat up a said matter-of-factly " I would be an airbender so I could fly and ride the air-scooters!"

"That would be awesome!"

At that moment nine chimes rang from downstairs, signaling nine o'clock.

"We better get to bed if my parents come home from the council meeting and see us up passed 9 on a school night we'll both get it said Shelby turning off the light switch.

"You're right time to hit the hay." said Barb putting a blue blanket over her while Shelby walked over to the pillows and did the same.

"Night firebender." said Shelby getting on her side.

"Night airbender." said Barb yawning.

Slowly the two drifted off into a deep sleep so neither saw the flash of light before they disappeared into the shadows.
