Chapter 2

Out in the woods of an Earth Kingdom island a water tribe boy was gathering up pieces of wood that laid scattered on the muddy ground. He had chocolate colored brown hair it was shaved on the sides but on the top of it was pulled back into a ponytail. His blue eyes were focused and determined as he pick up each piece of wood and carefully placed under his arm. He wore a blue parka although it was quite warm out, his brown boots and black pants were caked with mud up to his knees.

"I can't believe I had to come out here by myself." he grumbled to himself taking a branch out of the mud and shaking it trying to get the mud off. "Katara gets to cook the food, Aang takes care of Appa, and what's my job picking up branches in the stupid mud!"

Suddenly a loud crack was heard in the sky and Sokka looked up to see a blinding white light from it. Then to figures could be seen falling at fast speeds disappearing into the thick trees. Then as fast as it had came the light was gone and everything was peaceful again. Sokka stood there with his mouth wide open staring at the sky as if he was waiting for it to fall on top of him. when it didn't he drop the sticks and started running back to camp his boots squishing as he ran.

Meanwhile in another section of the forest Shelby was starting to wake up. She groaned as she sat up rubbing her head.

"Aw man I feel like I got ran over by a truck. Hey Barb wha-." Then she realized that Barb was missing and that this wasn't her living room." Holy Crap how'd I get here!"

She looked around at her surroundings the trees were blowing in the wind while a nearby creek bubbled, flocks of birds flew overhead as the sun began to set.

"Wait a minute it was already dark when I fell asleep! What's going on here!"

Shelby stood up and started to walk in the direction of the creek until something tripped her sending her to the ground. She landed with a loud "oof" and glanced behind her to see what tripped her. There laying on the ground was a long staff made of what looked like cherry wood. Shelby got to her feet picking up the staff examining it over. After a while she saw a small button on the side of it.

"I wonder what this is for?" she thought confused.

She press the button lightly when two sets of yellow wings popped out of it. Shelby dropped it with a gasp sending the wings back in.

"That was so cool!" she said excitedly picking it up.

"This kind of looks like the staff Aang has from Avatar…….Oh no I forgot about Barb!"

"BARB! BARB WHERE ARE YOU!" yelled Shelby looking all around at the forest scene looking for any signs for movement. Then she heard her name being called.

"SHELBY! CAN YOU HEAR ME!"

"YEAH BARB KEEP TALKING I'LL FIND YOU!"

Shelby started running towards the voice going further into the forest.

"SHELBY I'M OVER HERE!"

The voice was getting closer now, running swift as a deer and twice as fast she finally came to a clearing. There were plenty of bushes filled with red berries along with various types of wildflowers. Then there was one huge oak tree standing in the middle from behind it a girl immerged.

"Finally there you are was getting worr-" said the girl but she didn't finished she was looking at Shelby in amazement. This girl was talking like Barb but she didn't look anything like her. She had long black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail high on her head. Then there was her skin tone and cloths Barb's skin tone was a sand like color not white, before her clothes were red pajamas but the girl was wearing red and black armor. The last thing was the biggest she was about three inches taller than Barb.

"B-Barb?" said Shelby unsure.

"S-Shelby?" said the girl.

The two girls walked up to each other cautiously. Looking into each others eyes they knew that the other was their best friend.

Shelby smiled "Wow Barb you look really different!"

Barb returned it "So do you! Look you've got arrows!"

Shelby looked at her hands on them were bright blue arrows. Then she saw the clothes she was wearing. She had on almost exactly the same outfit Aang wore only with a skirt instead of pants. As soon as saw the clothes she felt her head sighing in relief.

"Good I still have my hair." taking a piece off her shoulder she looked at it wildly " Wait a minute this isn't my hair! I have blonde hair not dark brown!"

Shelby looked over to see Barb laughing her head off, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Shelby glared at her "Well what about you Barb! Black hair and armor nice look!"

Barb stopped laughing immediately seizing her long black hair bringing it down just enough so she could see it. Then she looked down at her body she made a fist and knock on it making a loud klock.

"Wait, black hair and armor……………… OH MY GOSH I'M I FIREBENDER!" said Barb happily jumping up and down while clapping her hands. Then she got quiet and screwed up her eyes in concentration.

Shelby laughed at her "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to make fire." said Barb calmly as he stared at her cupped hands which were held up in front of her. After about a minute a small ball of fire ignited in her hands.

"I DID IT!" she said making the flame grow.

"That is really cool Barb!"

But Barb paid no attention she was too busy sending the flame back and forth in her hands."Hey Shelby I think I invented a new toy, the fire slinky!" she said holding out the flame for her to see.

"Yeah really great Barb except kids would probably burn their houses down!" she said sarcastically.

Barb gave her a smirk "O.K. then miss critic why don't you put it out then."

"Fine." said Shelby raising her free hand putting it a few inches above Barb's hand. She felt the flame licking at her hand and she imagined a cool gust of wind putting it out.

She focused on the flame then a small gust of air emitted from her hand blowing the fire out. Shelby smiled at Barb who was about to shake her until…………..

"FIREBENDER!" yelled a boy leaping out of some nearby bushes pinning Barb to the ground. Shelby was about to tackle him but someone else jumped out too but not in an attack but a hug.

"AIRBENDER!" cried a young boy gripping Shelby into a uncomfortably tight hug making her drop her staff. Shelby looked at the boy hugging her she was shocked when she saw who it was.

"Holy Crap it's Aang!"

Aang had a huge smile on his face" Sokka can you believe it another airbender!"

"Aang I'm a little busy right now!" said Sokka who was trying to keep Barb down who was struggling fiercely. Then she got one of her hands free sending a stream of fire at Sokka setting his parka ablaze.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!HOT!HOT!HOT!" screamed Sokka as he scrambled off Barb and started running in circles. Barb stood up and smiled triumphantly watching her attacker's feeble attempt's to put out the fire.

Beside her was Shelby and Aang who was still holding on to Shelby like his life depended on it. "I can't believe it I'm not the last airbender!" said the Avatar excitedly.

"Well you will…..b-be if you…..don't stop…..s-s-strangling me." Shelby wheezed as her face began to turn blue.

Aang quickly let her go and blushed crimson "Sorry about that."

Shelby smiled as she held her chest "It's O.K." Shelby looked over to Barb and Sokka and sighed as she sent out a gust of wind at the screaming teenager putting it out.

Barb looked at Shelby like Christmas had been canceled " Awww Shelby why do you have to be such a party pooper?" she said as she cross her arms.

"Barb he would've burnt down the whole forest if I hadn't put it out!' said Shelby

Barb just rolled her blue eyes and sat down on the ground eyeing Sokka who was laying face down on the ground.

They were silent for a moment before Aang asked "Who are you guys?"

Shelby smiled "Well my name's Shelby and" pointing to Barb she said "little miss ray of sunshine over there is Barb."

Barb stuck her tongue out at Shelby who stuck it out right back.

Aang laughed as he watched the girls do this "My name's Aang and that's Sokka." he said pointing at Sokka.

"Hello." said Sokka slightly muffled by the ground as he held up a hand.

Aang turned back to Shelby "So were are you guys staying right now?" he asked.

Shelby looked over to Barb who shrugged "Currently nowhere." said Shelby as she picked up her staff.

Aang smiled a huge smile "You guys can come and stay with us!" he said happily

Shelby's eyes widened "You would really would let us?"

Aang nodded vigorously "Of course!"

"Well in that case we accept."

Sokka looked at Aang in horror. When he opened his mouth to say something a look from Barb closed it.

"We better get going it's almost dark." said Aang looking at the blue, pink , and purple sky.

"Yeah let's go." said Sokka as he and Barb both got off the ground.

"Follow me." said Aang as he lead the group out of the clearing and into the forest.
