"Come on Aang lets get a move on! We've been here for a week and all you've done is sit around doing nothing! Do you want the fire nation to find us?" Sokka pointed out in disgust.

Aang sat in a small corner looking confused and scared.

"Aang lets g-"

"Sokka… I'm sorry its just that I've been thinking lately… ever since we visited that fortune teller it seems like Katara and I are meant for each other, I've had a crush on her since the day you both found me… and now I think I'm really falling in love with her. Except… I don't know if she likes me back and I'm kind of afraid of rejection."

The air bender's eyes began to swell at the thought of not having Katara in his life. He couldn't help but feel the desire to be next to her every moment. He always wanted to hear her voice or feel her warm hugs.

"Aw don't worry Aang, I'm sure my sister likes you too. I can tell. She cares about you so much she worries every second you're not with her and she freaks at the thought of you getting captured by the fire nation again." Sokka said with comfort

"Really? I mean she's so beautiful and wise. Why would she like a guy like me?"

"Because to her you're not like the other guys. Your kind and gentle. That's what she's looking for in a guy."

"Ok. Thanks Sokka, I feel better now. Now let's go!"

Sokka Aang and Katara began their long journey. Aang now had to master earth bending. He now had to go search for his teacher.

"Aang do you know where you need to search?" Katara asked in an unsure tone

"Yeah of course. I even know who I'm looking for. But um Katara can I please talk to you about something…?"

"Um not now Aang maybe later. I'm gonna get some shut eye."

"um ok…"

Sokka and Katara fell asleep while Aang looked for a safe place to land and camp.

In the morning I'll tell her how I feel. I feel that it's the right time. I just hope she feels the same about me.

Hmm now where should I land? Oh! There is a good place!

Aang guided Appa down to the group safely.

Aang didn't want to wake Katara and Sokka from their peaceful sleep so he pitched the tents himself. When he was finished he returned to Appa and climbed on, he picked Katara up hoping not to wake her from her sleep and he set her in her tent.

Good night my little angel…

Aang kissed Katara on the forehead and walked out of the tent to get Sokka. When he reached Appa once more Sokka fell out of the carrier and slid down Appa's tail, ending up with his face in Appa's fur and with his rear end in the air.

"Oops, sorry Sokka." Aang whispered

Aang quietly and gently air bended Sokka off the ground and into the tent guiding the air to gently put him down.

yawn "Well time for me to get some sleep. Good night Appa."

The young air bender fell into a deep sleep, but some how in his sleep he entered the spirit world.

"Hello little one. I have been expecting you." Said Avatar Roku

"Oh, hello Avatar Roku. How did I enter the spirit world?" Aang asked while bowing with respect.

"I allowed you to enter through slumber. I must tell you something important."

"What is it Avatar Roku? Is somebody in trouble?"

"Yes. The northern earth tribe is in great danger. They need your help. The fire nation is out searching for you and they believe that if they capture your teacher Toph you will go searching for her and then they will be able to capture you. You must leave tomorrow morning, and get there before the Fire Nation does! Now go!"

Aang immediately arose from his sleep.

I'm not taking any chances. I am not going to go back to sleep… even though it is only 12:30… no! I must set up. I will wake Sokka and Katara when I'm a set.

Aang quickly left his tent, and started packing up his and the other's things. When he was finished it was around 2:00 a.m.

"Ok now I need to wake them up and we must get going." Aang whispered to himself.

Aang woke the rest of the group up and packed their things while they got ready.

"Aang… what's the deal with yawn waking us up so early huh?" Sokka asked still half asleep.

"I entered the spirit world last night in my sleep and Avatar Roku told me that the northern earth tribe is in trouble. He said I have to go and help the tribe people and help protect them from the Fire Nation."

"Oh my gosh. Then we better get going before it's too late!" Katara said in a worried tone.

Aang, Katara, Sokka, Momo, and Appa all set out for the northern earth tribe.

Now I'm going to have to tell Katara how I feel after this is all taken care of.

I just hope I'm not too late. Earth Tribe here I come!
