Hello everyone I really appreciate all the support I'm getting. Well on with the story!

Chapter 3

"Aang do you think it's a good idea to bring a firebender to camp." whispered Sokka glancing at Barb who was talking to Shelby.

"Come on Sokka if she wanted to capture us she would have done it by now." said Aang looking behind him so he could see Shelby and he blushed "besides if Shelby trusts her so do I."

Sokka rolled his eyes and grumbled something that sounded like "Lover boy." only to have been elbowed by Aang in the side.

"Ow!" complained Sokka as he rubbed the sore spot.

"Suck it up you big baby!" came a voice from the back. Sokka stopped walking and turned to see Barb who had also stopped along with Shelby. She was giving him a famous firebender glare.

"What would know about pain you stupid firebender!" said Sokka looking at her fiercely.

Shelby shook her hands in front her "Sokka don't go any farther! You'll get barbecued!"

Too late. Barb brought out two huge fire balls, Sokka looked at her fearfully and started to back up.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" yelled Barb as she threw the fireballs at the water tribe boy. Sokka let out a small "yipe" and took off down the forest trail.

"COME BACK YOU COWARD!" screamed Barb as she tore after him leaving the two airbenders staring after them.

Shelby sighed "We better go after them."

"Yeah before they set the place a blaze!" joined Aang

So together the two airbenders started running down the same path that their friends had been down, putting out fire as they went.

"Camp should be up ahead!" called Aang as he ducked under a tree branch. Shelby followed him closely. Finally when they jumped over a fallen log they saw the camp in utter chaos.

Going around the large fire was Sokka who was being chased by Barb who was being chased by Katara who was holding a heavy metal frying pan attempting to hit Barb with it.

"KATARA DO SOMETHING!" yelled Sokka

"LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE!" she yelled swinging at Barb's head.

Finally after a few minutes of this Aang blew a gust of wind at three sending them flying in every direction.

"ENOUGH!" he yelled making everyone look at him.

Katara got off the ground and took a twig out of her hair "Aang why is there a firebender here"

"Well…uh…"

"Please excuse Barb she just a little short tempered." said Shelby to Katara giving her an embarrassed smile.

"I am not!" said Barb sitting up looking at Shelby.

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"ARE NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"TOO!"

"NOT!"

Shelby and Barb glared daggers until Aang pushed them apart. "Calm down guys!" Both girls sighed.

"Aang's right we shouldn't be fighting." said Shelby

"Yeah." said Barb then Barb turned to Katara "Sorry about your brother."

Katara's eyes softened "It's O.K." she said smiling with a mischievous gleam came into her eyes "My brother's an idiot sometimes."

Aang raised an eyebrow "Sometimes?"

"HEY!" cried Sokka walking over to them making everyone but him.

"All right everyone let's finish getting camp set up!" said Katara picking up the frying pan off the ground.

For the next hour everyone was busy doing a job. Katara was cooking fish with some help from Barb with her firebending. Aang and Shelby were busy setting up tents near the fire and Sokka went to get more wood. When the hour was up every thing looked perfect the tents were set close together one for the boys and one for the girls. The smell of grilled fish filled the wooded area. Beside the tents was a big pile of fire wood more than enough to get them through the night.

"Wow it sure is easier when you've got five people instead of three." said Aang looking around the camp site.

"Yeah we did great!" said Katara

"Yeah………Can we eat now!" said Sokka rubbing his stomach.

"Yes Sokka we can eat now." laughed Shelby as she took a seat on a log that she and Aang had lifted using their bending.

Everyone took a seat. Aang set to the left of Shelby who was in the middle and to her right sat Barb, on the opposite side sat Katara and Sokka.

"O.K. guys get some food and dig in!" said Katara pointing over to a rock where the fish were laid on green leaves. Of course Sokka was the first over he grabbed two fish and sat down. Then Katara got one then Barb. When came Shelby's turn she didn't get up.

"What wrong Shelby? Aren't you hungry?" asked Katara worried.

Shelby smiled "No it's just I really don't like meat that much."

Aang looked at Shelby shocked "You too!"

"Yeah."

Aang opened a pouch that was laying on the ground beside him and opened it reviling many red berries. "Here you can have some of my berries." he said holding them out.

"Aang I can't take those there yours!"

"Don't worry there's enough for both of us."

Shelby eyed the pouch before taking one of the small berries." Wow these are good!"

Aang grinned "I'm glad you liked them" he said pouring some on a leaf and handing them to her.

"Thanks." said Shelby

Then the two of them felt everyone staring.

"What!" they said as they turned to see the three smiling.

"Nothing." said Barb taking a bite of fish. The Aang shook his head and everyone continued eating. After a half an hour everyone was filled. After they cleaned up the five sat down around the fire and talked.

"Hey Barb how did you and Shelby meet?" asked Katara

Barb looked at Shelby who nodded. They had thought up a story while they were walking in the woods. "Well about three years I was up at the North Pole to visit the Water Tribe to try to hid from the Fire Nation because of an incident but I'll tell you about that later. But when I got up there they would let me through the gates, go figure. So anyway after about a day of traveling I saw a huge iceberg only it had someone in it, so I went over to it and thawed it out and I found this weirdo!" said Barb pointing at Shelby

"I resent that!"

"And ever since we've been on the run." said Barb finishing

Katara shook her head "I never thought I see the day when a firebender and an airbender were friends."

Shelby grinned "Well we get into trouble."

"But we always get out." said Barb

"Together." they both said knocking knuckles.

"Girls there is something I want to ask you." said Aang

They both looked over and said "What Aang?"

The Avatar stood up "Would you guys come with us to help me learn bending and beat Fire Lord Ozai?"

The girls looked at each other and smiled.

"Aang we would be honored." said Barb standing up bowing to him who bowed back. They were all silent for a moment then Sokka yawned.

"Time to go to bed." said Katara giving Sokka a pat on the back. Everyone agreed with a wave of her hand Shelby put the fire out as they all went over to the tents. The two boys and three girls climbed into their tents.

"Night Aang."

"Night Sokka. Night Katara, Night Barb, Night Shelby!"

"Night Sokka, Night Aang, Night Barb, Night Shelby!"

"Night Sokka, Night Aang, Night Katara, Night Shel-"

"BARB SHUT UP!" yelled Shelby pulling the blanket over her head.

With a chuckle Barb and the others were fast asleep.

Well there you have it another chapter. Until next time, WD7 out!
