It was the next morning and Bumi had gotten home. "Bumi, how did it go?" Asks Aang. "Great." Says Bumi. "That's good to hear." Says Aang. "Where's Mom, Kya, and Tenzin?" Ask Bumi. "Well, your mother is with Kya lecturing her while Tenzin is sleeping in." Says Aang. "Oh what did Kya do this time?" Asks Bumi. "Your mother told Kya about how she discovered her healing abilities, so Kya decided to give it a try for herself, by lighting a candle and burning herself, and apparently with no choice your mom had to bring a bucket of water for Kya to put her hands in and turns out Kya has healing abilities." Says Aang. "Well, she is 8 and curious, Mom should at least be happy Kya has healing abilities." Says Bumi. "That's what I tried telling her." Says Aang. "Mom is being mom." Says Bumi. "Yeah, she has always been like this even when her, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Suki, and I were your age." Says Aang. "Bumi, I need you to do me and your mother a favor please." Says Aang. "Yeah sure." Says Bumi. "Well make sure each full moon Kya doesn't do anything stupid." Says Aang. "Oh, okay." Says Bumi.
When Bumi and Aang got closer, Kya heard Bumi talking with Aang and she peaks out the window. Kya rushes to Tenzin's room and Katara tries to stop her but Kya was too fast. "Kya, you get over here right now young lady!" Katara shouts, chasing Kya. Kya just laughs and bangs on Tenzin's door and opens the closes the door and runs off giggling. Tenzin hears all the noise and wakes up. "Mommy, what's with all the noise?" Asks Tenzin. "Your sister." Says Katara. Kya finally makes it to Bumi. "Hi Kya, aren't your supposed to be with mom?" Asks Bumi. "Mommy is chasing me and being bossy and I don't like it." Says Kya. "Kya, your mother is just trying to protect you!" Says Aang. "Kya, I don't think you wanna end up like Zuko's sister Azula who is mentally ill and never listened to her parents and hurt herself and others?!" Says Bumi. "No!" Says Kya beginning to get scared. "Bumi, don't say that!" Aang says. "What, you and mom thought it was crazy enough that Kya burned he own hand just to see if she has Mom's healing abilities... and who knows what crazy stuff Kya might try?!" Bumi shouts, asking. Katara spots Kya, Bumi and Aang and hears Bumi arguing with Aang, so Katara stops herself and hides behind a wall of the building and eavesdrops on what Aang and Bumi were arguing about... Aang freezes and was speechless, not knowing how to respond to Bumi's statement. "Exactly, you don't even know how to respond to what I just said Dad, do you... no you don't know," Bumi shouts. "B-b-but!" Says Aang as, he stutters to speak up. Bumi puts Kya down. "You can't even bother to speak up for yourself Dad, because Mom is always the one to speak up for you and also where was I about Kya... oh right who knows what insane crazy stuff she might try now that she knows she has Mom's healing abilities, because next thing you know by the time anyone turns their backs Kya might run off somewhere and burn herself just to practice on herself like some guinea pig-rat and might not remember what to do especially if no one can hear her, she might become obsessed with this new found power and before you know it she will become mentally ill and might purposely hurt Tenzin, Lin, you, Mom, Izumi, me, Mom, Auntie Toph, Uncle Zuko, Aunt Suki, Uncle Sokka, or anyone for that matter, so what are you and Mom going to do if Kya is grounded and she rediscovers the matches or something or does something else crazy, and if you and Mom want her to become a master by the age of 15 then Mom can't just lash out at her and you can't just sit there and do nothing why can't you see it was bad enough for Mom to tell her these stories to Kya, and better yet let's talk about Tenzin okay, you have been training him for years and now he starts air bending..." Bumi says. As Katara hears the arguing she quietly slides her back against the wall in tears and begins to curl up with her head down crying.
Aang new he would let Bumi let his anger out but, he could not bare to her his own son talk to him like that anymore and about Bumi's only two siblings, emotionally Aang got so frustrated and angry be began to go into the avatar state and Katara could feel the wind changing. "I don't like the way you are speaking to me... leave and go to your room and never come out until I tell you to!" Aang shouts in anger as the wind begins to pick up and air and form a bubble of air around Aang. Once as Katara felt the wind grow much stronger and heard Aang shout she stood up and saw what was happening to Aang, as Katara was standing there worried, Kya ran off in fear. "Aang!" Katara shouts, walking towards Aang. Bumi hears Katara and he runs away avoiding the problem. Aang sees Bumi. "Bumi you get your ass over here right now young man or you will regret it!" Aang shouts with no control of himself. Katara walks closer to Aang and by the time Katara was half way to Aang, Bumi runs off. "Aang sweetie you got to listen to me, you shouldn't take it out on Bumi, so sweetie if you can hear me and I know you can I need you to hear what I have to say... you and I created our three beautiful children, I gave birth to our three beautiful children, we both raised our beautiful children," Katara says. Katara finally reached Aang, placing both her hands on Aang's cheeks. "And I don't know if you know this but not only do I love you very much, but our children love you just as much, so please Aang, please I beg you, please calm down, please calm down not for our children, but for me please, I love you, Aang." Katara says, kissing Aang as she cries. Aang moans weakly as he snaps out of the avatar state and falls into Katara's arms as he and Katara fall to the floor gently.
"Katara?" Aang says reaching his hand to Katara's cheek. "Hi, sweetie you okay, why were you arguing with Bumi?" Asks Katara. "Yes, just exhausted, and I don't want to talk about it, and all I have to say is, I was awful!" Aang says. "I know, it's okay everything is fine." Says Katara. "No, Katara it isn't okay, and everything is not alright, I lashed out at Bumi!" Aang says. "But that's over now." Says Katara. "Bumi's right, Katara I'm a horrible father." Aang says. "No don't say that." Says Katara. "Yes I am because I can't even keep my guard up and I always take pity on our kids!" Says Aang. "Well that's how things are as kids get older, even us as the parents we have to punish them for the wrongs they have made." Says Katara. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Says Aang. Katara looks at Aang in serious way. "Fine I'll admit it... you're always right." Says Aang.
"Bumi is just going through what everyone goes through in life, he is growing up and trying to find his way in the world and is going through a typical teenage behavior, and I remember what it was like for us and the rest of the team." Says Katara. "Yeah, I remember." Says Aang.
Aang walks to Bumi's room figuring Bumi would be hiding there. Aang approaches Bumi's bedroom door and knocks, but no one answered, so Aang knocks again and shouts, "Bumi, son are you in there?!" Aang shouts. No one answers so Aang opens the door and sees no one in there, Aang checks all the room in the house, Aang even checks for both Bumi and Kya in Kya's room. "Bumi?! Kya?!" Aang shouts over and over again, but no response. Aang rushes to Katara who was tending to the greenhouse garden. "Katara!" Aang shouts. "Aang, what is it?!" Katara asks as she turns her head. Aang makes the over to Katara and stands in front of Katara and places his hands on Katara's shoulders. "It's Bumi and Kya." Says Aang in sadness. Katara was worried as she looks at Aang. "What do you mean, sweetie?" Asks Katara. Aang does not answer. Katara begins to shed tears in her eyes. "Aang, Aang, sweetie, honey what are you not telling me?" Katara asks. Aang was too afraid to speak stays quiet. Katara releases herself from Aang. "Tell me! Tell me!" Katara shouts. "They are missing and I checked their rooms, our room, Tenzin's, all the rooms even the temple, the whole island to be exact." Aang says shedding a tear. Katara begins crying and hitting and punching at Aang in sadness and anger. "Hey, hey, hey, Katara we will find them." Says Aang as he grabs Katara, wrapping her into his arms hugging her tight. "How will we find them, how will we know where they are?" Katara asks still crying. Aang comforts Katara still, and kisses her on the head. "Get, Tenzin we are going into town." Says Aang. "Okay." Says Katara calmly as she gets Tenzin up. "Tenz, get up sweetheart, we're going into town." Says Katara. "Why mommy?" Asks Tenzin. "It's your brother and sister." Says Katara. "Wait are Bumi and Ky-Ky okay?" Asks Tenzin. "No, they ran away." Says Katara. Katara helps Tenzin get dressed. Katara grabs current pictures of Bumi and Kya.
"Momo, come!" Aang calls out. Momo chitters and purrs as he lands on Aang's shoulders. Tenzin and Katara get on Appa and Aang does too and grabs Appa's reins. "Yip-yip!" Aang shouts. Appa roars and flies off.
