Author's Note:
I have decide that I will be skipping the 11 episode in the series which is in tilted The Great Divide. I have tried to write her in it but it just doesn't flow well. So on to the Next episode/chapter.
We were sleeping when we a noise wakes all of us up.
"What's going on? Did we get captured again?" Sokka asked
"It's nothing. I just had a bad dream. Go back to sleep." Aang said
"Don't have to tell me twice." Sokka said
"Are you all right, Aang?" I asked
"I'm okay." Aang said
"You seem to be having a lot of nightmares lately. You want to tell Kida and I about it?" Katara asked
"I think I just need some rest." Aang said
"You guys want to hear about my dream?" Sokka asked
Katara and I glare at him.
"That's okay. I didn't want to talk about it anyway." Sokka said
Sokka lies down. Katara and I do the same.
We wake up the next morning to clear blue skies.
"Look at those Clear skies, buddy. Should be some smooth flying." Aang said
Katara and I are looking into a bag. She hold s it upside down, sprinkling the ground with crumbs. Momo runs over and eats them.
"(Looks from the contents of the bag up to Aang) Well, we better smoothly fly ourselves to a market, 'cause we're out of food." Katara said
Katara and I climbed up on to Apps.
"Guys, wait. This was in my dream. We shouldn't go to the market." Sokka said
"What happened in you dream?" I asked
"Food eats people. Also, Momo could talk. (He glares at Momo while crossing his arms) You said some very unkind things." Sokka said
We were flying for a short while when we find a small market. We landed. Katara and I were looking at some fruit.
"Ahh, it's goo. It's perfect, I'm telling you." the merchant woman said
Katara shakes the watermelon it makes a sloshing sound.
"I don't know it I like the sound of that swishing." Katara said
"Swishing means it's ripe! It's the ripe juices swishing around, eh?" the merchant woman said
"I think it's true, Katara and Kida. Swishing means it's ripe." Aang said
"I just realized we're out of many anyway." I said
The merchant woman grabbed the basket full of fruit from Sokka.
"Aww." the merchant woman said
Sokka walks past the merchant, she indignantly kicks in the rear, drawing a cry of pain from Sokka. The rest of us walk away from the dock.
"Out of food and out of money. Now what are we supposed to do?" Sokka asked
"You could get a job, smart guy." Katara said
A fisherman and his wife are walking behind the gang. We over heard the end of their conversation.
"We shouldn't go out there. Please, the fish can wait. There's going to be a terrible storm." the fisherman's wife said
"You're crazy. It's a nice day. No clouds, no winds, no nothing. So quit your nagging, woman." the fisherman said
"Maybe we should find some shelter?" Aang said
"Are you kidding? Shelter from what?" Sokka asked
"Sokka I can feel the storm. The woman is right." I said
"My joints say there's going to be a storm! A bad one." the fisherman's wife said
"Well, it's your joints against my brain." the fisherman said
"Than I hope your brain can find someone else to haul that fish, 'cause I ain't comin'." the fisherman's wife said
"I'll go." Sokka said
"You're hired." the fisherman said
The fisherman shoots a triumphant look at his wife, who scowls back. Katara, Aang, and I look at Sokka.
"What? You said get a job… and he's paying double." Sokka said
"Double? Who told you that nonsense?" the fisherman asked
Sokka turns and starts to load the fisherman's boat with supplies.
"Sokka, maybe this isn't such a good idea. Look at the sky." Aang said
"I said I was going to do this job. I can't back out just because of some bad weather." Sokka said
"The boy with the tattoos has some sense. You should listen to him." the fisherman's wife
"Boy with tattoos? (the fisherman turns around to look at Aang) Airbender tattoos. Well, I'll be a hog monkey's uncle. You're the Avatar, ain't ya?" the fisherman said
"That's right." Katara said
"Well, don't be so smiley about it. The Avatar disappeared for a hundred years you turned your back on the world." the Fisherman said
"Don't yell at him." I said
"Aang would never turn his back on anyone." Katara said
"Oh, he wouldn't, huh? Then I guess I just have imagined the last hundred years of war and suffering." the fisherman said
I look Aang to see his eyes widening.
"Aang is the bravest person I know. He's done nothing but help people and save lives since I met him. (Aang slowly begins to backup away from her) it's not his fault he disappeared, right Aang? (Katara turns around to see Aang backing away) Aang, what's wrong?" Katara asked
A look of shock and horrified guilt on his face, Aang opens his glider and vaults into the air, rapidly disappearing into the distance.
"That's right. Keep flying." the fisherman said
"You're a horrible old man." Katara said
Katara and I climbed onto Appa.
"Appa, yip yip." I said
As Appa flies out of the water, a big wave splashes the fisherman. We fly for a while before we spot a cave up in the mountains. We land outside the opening of the cave and head inside.
"I'm sorry for running away." Aang said
"It's okay. That fisherman was out of line." I said
"Actually, he wasn't." Aang said
"What do you mean?" Katara asked
"I don't want to talk about it." Aang said
"It has to do with your dream, doesn't it?" Katara asked
She puts a hand on Aang's shoulder.
"Talk to us." I said
"Well, it's kind of a long story." Aang said
"Well it's a good thing we have time." I said
"I'm going to try to get a little fire going." Katara said
Katara leaves and comes back with a bundle of sticks. She turned around and I use my wired fire to start the fire. Katara turns around and once she sees the fire she sits down. She doesn't even ask how the fire started.
"I'll never forget the day the monks told me I was the Avatar. I was playing with some other kids just outside the South Wall. I was trying to teach them how to do the air scooter." Aang said
Aang starts to tell us the story of that day.
"First you got to form the ball, then you got to get on quick." Aang said
Aang make the air scooter.
"You kind of have to balance on it like it's a top." Aang said
"Man, that's hard." air nomad boy 1 said
"Where'd you learn that trick, Aang?" air nomad boy 2 said
"I made it up." Aang said
"Wow." air nomad boy 2 said
The Council of Elders shows up.
"Aang, come with us. We need to speak with you." Gyatso said
Aang leaves with the Council of Elders.
"How do you know it's me?" Aang asked
"We have known you were the Avatar for some time. Do you remember these?" Tashi asked
Monk Tashi airbends a wrapped-up mat to Aang. It opens up, revealing four toys.
"Those were some of my favorite toys when I was little." Aang said
"You chose them from among thousands of toys, Aang. The toys you picked were the four Avatar relics. These items belonged to Avatars past. Your own past lives." Tashi said
"I just chose them because they seemed fun." Aang said
Aang smiles and pulls the cord on the propeller toy, sending the propeller spinning into the air. It spins through the air. The toy goes over Monk Tashi's head.
"You chose them because they were familiar." Tashi said
"Normally we would have told you of your identity when you turned sixteen, but there are troubling signs. Storm clouds are gathering." Gyatso said
"I fear war may be upon us, young Avatar." Pasang said
"We need you, Aang." Gyatso said
As Katara and I listen to Aang, we can tell how upset his is getting. He has lowered his head and is looking at eh cave ground.
"So you were upset that you were the Avatar? Why wouldn't you be excited about it?" Katara asked
"Well, I didn't know how to feel about it. All I knew was that after I found out, everything began changing." Aang said
Aang starts to tell us again.
Aang enters into the South Wall again. The Air Nomad kids are shown on air scooters,
"Hey, not bad. You guys have been practicing." Aang said
"Not only that. We made up a game you can play with the air scooters." Air Nomad boy 2 said
"Great." Aang said
Aang made his own. But everyone else makes theirs vanish.
"What's going on?" Aang asked
"Now that you're the Avatar, it's kind on an unfair advantage for whichever team you're on." Air Nomad boy 1 said
"But I'm still the same. Nothing's changed. So, what? I can't play?" Aang asked
"That's the only fair way." Air Nomad boy 1 said
"Oh, okay." Aang said
"Sorry, Aang." Air Nomad boy 2 said
Aang leaves the South Wall.
"Okay. Now,, who wants Jinju on their team?" Air Nomad boy 1 askes
Jinju is shown in the corner with a gas around him, laughing.
Aang and Gyatso playing a game of Pai Sho.
"Very interesting move, young one." Gyatso said
"What do you mean?" Aang asked
Gyatso is shown using airbending to make a spiral, flipping a prat of Aang's clothing. Gyatso quickly moves two pieces around. Aang moves his clothing back into place.
"Hey." Aang said
Gyatso and Aang laugh. Monk Tashi appears.
"You're playing games with him? The Avatar should be training." Tashi said
"Aang has already trained enough for today." Gyatso said
"Time is short. (to Aang) Some with me. I must test you on some high level techniques." Tashi said
"No. As long as I'm his guardian, I will decide when he trains… and when he gets his butt kicked at Pai Sho." Gyatso said
"Hmph." Tashi said
Monk Tashi is shown walking away.
Katara and I were looking at Aang who was looking in the fire with a sad face.
"Then, just wen I was feeling better, something worse happened." Aang said
Monk Tashi and Monk Gyatso are speaking to Monk Pasang.
"Aang needs to have freedom and fun/ he needs to grow up as a normal boy." Gyatso said
"You cannot keep protecting him from his destiny." Tashi said
"Gyatso, I know you mean well, but you are letting your affection for the boy cloud your judgment." Pasang said
"All I want is what is best fro him." Gyatso said
"But what we need is what's best for the world. You and Aang must me separated! The Avatar will be sent away to the Eastern Air Temple to complete his training." Pasang said
Aang is looking through a hole in the ceiling, shocked at the news he has heard.
"That's awful, Aang. I don't how what to say." Katara said
"(Stands up) How could they do that to me? They wanted to take away everything I knew and everyone I loved." Aang yells
He slips into the Avatar State for a second sending hot cinders into the air.
"Whoa! Hot cinders!." I said
Aang comes out of the Avatar State, walks back over to us, and sits down.
"I'm sorry I got so mad." Aang said
"You have to the right to be angry after the monks sent you away like that." Katara said
Aang looked away from us.
"That's not whap happened is it?" I asked
"I was afraid and confused. I didn't know what to do." Aang said
"Aang, I'm not going to let them take you away from me. Aang?" Gyatso asked
He walks into the room to see a note on Aang's bed. He looks out the window to see a storm.
"I never saw Gyatso again." Aang said
Aang and Appa are flying through the storm. Them going into the water and not coming back out.
"Next thing I knew, I was waking up in your arms and looking up at Kida's face after you found me in the iceberg." Aang said
"You ran away." Katara and I said
"And then the Fire Nation attacked our temple. My people needed me and I wasn't there to help." Aang said
"Aang…" Katara said
"The fisherman was right. I did turn my back on the world." Aang said
"You're being too hard on yourself, even if you did run away. I think it was meant to be. If you had stayed, you would have been killed along with all the other airbenders." Katara said
"You don't know that." Aang said
"I know it was meant to be this way. The world needs you now. You give people hope." Katara said
Aang was going to say something, but didn't get the chance.
"Help! Oh, please help." the fisherman's wife said
"It's okay. You're safe." Katara said
"But my husband isn't." the fisherma's wife said
"What do you mean? Where's Sokka?" I asked
"They haven't returned. They shouldn't have been back by now! And this storm is becoming a typhoon. They're caught out at sea." the Fisherman's wife said
"I'm going to find him." Aang said
"I'm going with you." Katara said
"As am I." I said
"I'm staying here." the fisherman's wife said
The fisherman's wife sits down in front of the fire. Aang, Katara, and I climb onto Appa.
"We'll be back soon, I promise." Aang said
With that we fly away.
"Where are they?" Katara asked
Appa is descending, hitting the water.
"Come on, Appa. The boat. There." Aang said
I turn my head and see Zuko's ship. We fly closer to the ship.
"I'm too young to die." Sokka said
"I'm not, but I still don't wanna." the fisherman said
Appa hovers over the boat. Aang jumps off Appa onto the boat. The pole is falling down, Aang brings up fours pouts of water, splitting the pole in half, Sokka and the fisherman are shown hugging each other. A rope is thrown in front of them.
"Hang onto the rope." Aang said
The fisherman and Sokka do so. Appa starts flying again. The rope swings up, making Sokka and the fisherman land onto the saddle. We turn to see them both smiling, then a giant wave is seen. I crashes onto us. We are pushed under the water. I try to hold on to Appa's saddle but can't. I see Aang enter the Avatar state, he is able to save everyone close to him, but I had floated to far away from him. They flew out of the water. I was starting to see black dots in my vision. I was trying to swim to the surface, but I couldn't the waves were to strong. I try to bend but I couldn't. Everything goes black.
Zuko's Pov:
The Avatar flew out of the ocean on the back of his bison. I looked at the bison but didn't Kida. I turned and looked over at Uncle.
"I thought I saw Kida, earlier." I said
"I saw her as well." Uncle said
I moved over to look over the edge of the boat. I couldn't see anything. The others looked over the edge as well.
"I see something." Jee said
I moved over to him. The see something white in the dark water. We were now in the eye of the storm so the water had calmed. I jumped over the side and swam deeper into the water.
Katara's Pov:
We landed back in the cave we wall got off Appa. The Fisherman apologized to Aang when I realized that Kida wasn't there.
"Where is Kida?" I asked
The others quickly looked around.
"I don't know." Aang said
"Oh no. she must have floated to far away and when I entered the Avatar state I didn't make the air bubble big enough to get her." Aang said
Aang started to cry.
"Can't believe I'm going to say this, but I hope Zuko saves her." Sokka said
"Yeah but if he doesn't. She could die." Aang said
"No she won't Aang. Kida is a special girl, we will see her again." Sokka said
