A/N: This one was longer, so this one will be a chapter of it's own. Please bear with me. I am fully aware of the problems with my writing and I am hoping by the time I am done writing these, I will have improved as a writer. As usual, any feedback is fully appreciated.
4. Missing Tooth
Katara had been busy going over paperwork for her new clinic (a very boring task, if you asked her, and even worse than cleaning up after Appa), when Bumi had come running in the house, slamming the door shut behind him with a loud bam. Katara had jumped slightly in surprise but had relaxed when she saw the grinning five year old. She made to rise from her chair, but she paused. Usually when Bumi was grinning, it was because he had just pulled off a prank.
"Bumi, what are you so happy about?" she asked in what she hoped sounded like a stern voice. Being stern with Bumi was hard, she had found, he was too adorable to discipline seriously she had found.
"I'm missing a tooth!" he had exclaimed happily, his words distorted slightly by the gap in his teeth. "Uncle Sokka said that means I m all grown up!"
Relieved and amused, Katara walked over to him and crouched in front of him. "So you have! My, you re getting really big now! Soon I guess you ll be wanting to eat more vegetables." she teased, and his eyes widened in horror.
"No, no! I m not that big, I m just five! No vegetables please!" he pleaded.
Katara laughed and said, "Relax, Bumi, I was only kidding however, we are having sea prunes for dinner." in her best horror storyteller voice.
Meanwhile at work, his head on his desk, drooling on a very important piece of paper, Avatar Aang twitched in his sleep and muttered "No more sea prunes, please... "
