Hey! Thanks for reading, I can't believe I'm this quick to update, it usually takes a while. I must reply to my reviewers.

Tp-gurl-Thanks for reviewing. Yes I know you don't like Katara, but she's a character and I want to try to stay as loyal to the story as possible, so must include her.

Lady Triton- Whew! I'm glad you don't think Carly's a Mary-Sue, and that you are eager of reading my story. Sorry that this chapter is short though. Happy reading!

Cupcake-Bender- Cool, is your name referring to a new power of bending cupcakes? Thanks for the constructive review, I'll try to consider these. Thanks.

Well, here's a shorter chapter. Read and Enjoy!

Carly: The Mind-Bender

Chapter 2-

It was morning. I woke up with a start, thinking my one and only best Avatar dream had ended so soon. But no, I woke up on the blanket Katara lent me, with a spare coat they had on me for covers. Good thing it was summertime.

I looked up to the sky. It looked pretty real to me. I could smell the dirt on the ground. I could taste last night's fish in my mouth. I felt the fur covers on top of me. I could even hear Sokka snoring. All of my senses were functional. How can this be a dream?

"Com'on com'on com'on!" Sokka urged, "We gotta pack up and leave soon, I think the fire nation is catching up on us!" In five minutes flat everything was packed and loaded on Appa and ready to fly. I realized then that when Sokka said the fire nation was catching up, it didn't mean they were right on our tail; it meant they were two days behind instead of three. This put my mind at ease; travel was slow at that time…err, travel is slow at this time

Right after I thought this, I jinxed myself because Appa lifted off of the ground in a flash with me screaming in surprise. I wasn't certain if I could die in dreams, or here, but I wasn't taking any chances. I gripped Appa's fur tightly as well as the saddle part.

"Sorry Carly, didn't you know Appa came from an Air-bending temple, and can fly?" Katara apologized.

"Oh, I knew that, I was just surprised by his ability to accelerate so fast, I don't remember this in the shows-." I cut myself off not just because I remembered they don't know they are in shows, but because Appa steered to the left dramatically. I almost fell off, or at least I thought I did. A giant fireball flew past us to the right. Sokka cursed at his miscalculations in the fire nation's advantage in catching up with us.

"Oh my gosh! We're under attack!" I yelled, panicking, trying to tell myself I can't die. I can't die. I can't die. I can't die. I can't…wait; I have powers, don't I?

"It's okay Carly. Sokka, drive Appa while I try to distract them." Aang leaped off of Appa. I was thinking I was somehow capable of distracting them too.

"Be careful Aang! Sokka, drive Appa down toward the ship, I going with Aang." Katara commanded. I was thinking I wanted to go to, but how will I fight?

"You crazy! We got an endangered, defenseless girl on board!" Sokka replied, being sexist, but concerned for my safety.

"No, it's okay Sokka, I want to go down there too." I said, positive of my abilities.

"But-."

"Trust me." I said and thought, looking directly into his eyes.

"Okay." Sokka reconsidered and trusted me. He flew Appa down to the ship. Thankfully no more fireballs were flung because Aang knocked over the shooter. Katara and I jumped off onto the ship and I analyzed my surroundings. Soldiers were everywhere, excited from finding the Avatar and having faith in their leader; Prince Zuko.

Zuko? Ah yes, the banished prince who cared for the new soldiers used as bait and defended them, causing him to duel with his father and refusing the fight, ended up with his scar on his face and banishment. Where was he?

A gush of wind caused me to turn around and see Aang and Zuko fighting. Aang was all over the place, while Zuko fired constantly at him. It was cool to see them-…

I felt a strong sensation that someone was going to attack me. I turned to my right and saw a soldier with a knife on a stick running towards me. Oh gosh, I hope this works!

"You are too clumsy to run straight at me without tripping at least once." I thought strongly looking at the soldier. Katara had just whipped a nearby soldier with her water, leaving the water on the ground for a second. The soldier slipped on the water and fell flat on his face, really hard.

"You hurt too much to get back up" I thought towards him. The soldier didn't get back up. Wow, was this really working, or just coincidence? Wow, this place is so actiony I can hardly take it all in!

Sokka flew overhead, watching us battle and waiting for too many soldiers to be down to follow us before he picked us up. I got a great idea. I closed my eyes and pictured all of the soldiers I saw fighting.

"You are all too weak to battle anymore. You all drop to the ground from exhaustion!" I then got a really really bad headache and hit the floor myself, but I also heard more thumps joining in with mine. I blacked out, but could sense shock in Katara, Aang Sokka, and, and Zuko! I could feel him looking towards me, curious as to whom I am, wondering, wanting. I remembered I thought he was hot in the shows, how he's still hot.

I blacked out completely then and there.
