Katara quickly found the fluffy flying bison, getting on as they all went off; Aang's head wasn't hurting from altitude.

"Oh Aang you were brilliant!"cried Katara. Aang weakly smiled at her as he closed his eyes, falling over. His breath was a bit quicker than normal, and his face seemed flushed. His body had finally reached it's limit. He was still young and needed a bit more sleep, especially when sick.

"Aang!"cried Katara, quickly cradling him.

"Relax, he's probably just tired" soothed Sokka, patting her shoulder.

"Your right. I don't think I've even seen him use so much energy in such a weak physical state." Katara smiled, putting her hand on his forehead.

"Sokka-quick-get-some-water-Aang's-burning-up!"said Katara noticing how warm he is.

"Uh-huh, yeah. KATARA! YOU ARE A WATER BENDER, YOU GET THE FREAKIN' WATER!"yelled Sokka, quickly regaining his normality.

"Oh yeah, I forgot"said Katara sheepishly. She put Aang down, getting a wash cloth and getting it wet from the freezing salt water below. Appa grunted, turning his large head.

"Don't worry Appa, Aang's just sleepy"Katara assured the large creature. She placed the cloth on Aang's forehead, trying to think of how else to make him more comfortable.

"No, I'll get you sick and I don't want you unhappy"mumbled Aang.

"Hey Sokka, didn't Aang say that before?"asked Katara.

"Something like that. Maybe he's dreaming about before?"said Sokka unsurely. Aang's eyes were now closed as if in pain, he face showing it.

"I...won't...let...you...get...sick"panted Aang, his face and body very hot.

"Aang, Aang please wake"pleaded Katara, taking his hand and softly stroking it.

"No, I don't want to lose you"mumbled Aang, turning on his side the cloth dropping. He then began to shiver, curling up in a ball.

"Aang, come on, wake up"said Katara, rubbing his hand still. The wind suddenly began to pick up, the arrows on Aang's body becoming lighter.

"Sokka"said Katara, inching back just a bit.

"I know, I know. What are we gonna do?"

"I don't know, wake him up?"

"Should we slap him?"asked Sokka.

"Last resort only."
