Yay! Here 'tis! Happy Halloween to ya!! I was a black cat. I WAS going to be Katara, but the partially idiotic tycoons at Nickelodeon Studios (what makes them not idiotic, you ask? The fact that Avatar is on the air, that's what!!) only sell AANG costumes. ppft. Yah, so… heeeeeere's Chappie 4!!

Chapter 4: Return to the Spirit World

"So, Avatar Roku talked to you in a dream, and said you can save Katara's soul in the Spirit World?" Sokka said, leaning against a rock, while Aang settled himself into a meditation position on the very ledge where Katara had died. Katara lay next to him. The white sheet that covered her body had been blown off slightly, exposing her face.

"As Avatar Roku said, 'when put bluntly, yes.'" Said Aang.

"Oh good grief!", shouted Sokka. "Can't we go through just one day without something mystical happening to us?!?!"

"Are you sure about this, Aang?" said Toph. "What if you don't come back?"

Aang paused, and looked over at Katara's body. "I have to try."

"But seriously, shouldn't we find a temple or something? You know, someplace where you can get into the spirit world easily?" said Sokka.

"Maybe," muttered Aang. "But something's telling me we don't need to leave. I feel like Katara's spirit is present here. Maybe I don't need anything else."

Sokka threw up his hands and yelled at the sky, "WHY CAN'T I UNDERSTAND ANYTHING?!?!"

"I've been wondering the same thing every since I met you," muttered Toph sarcastically.

Aang closed his eyes and breathed deeply. His tattoos began to glow. Sokka guided Toph away from where Aang was sitting, for he was crossing over… into the Spirit World.

As Aang was crossing over, Katara was waking up somewhere else. "Where am I?" she said, and got up. Katara looked around, and everything, the buildings, the snow, the sky, they seemed all too familiar… and she realized… she was at… "The South Pole?"

A smiling woman walked up to Katara. Katara recognized the woman instantly. "Mom!" she yelled, and ran up and hugged her.

Sela, still smiling, looked at her daughter with pride. "My Dear Katara," she said, an angelic touch in her voice. "It has been so long."

"Mom… where am I?" Katara asked, the question wavering in her throat.

"You are dead, my little Waterbender." Came Sela's voice.

Dead. The word hit Katara like a rock when she realized it applied to her now. "What? No! But I'm not done! There's so much I have left to do!" she cried.

Sela's calm and angelic voice seemed to almost lull Katara to sleep. "Katara. It is all alright now. You will be safe here. And we will be together forever."

Katara fought her mother's voice like it was Zuko's grasp. "Mom, you don't understand! I know the Avatar! I'm a Waterbending master now, and I didn't finish teaching him! No, no, no!!!" Katara ran away from her mother, knelt down and began to cry where she sat. She didn't know what was worse… that she would be separated from Sokka, Aang, Toph, Appa, Momo, and everyone else she knew until they died, and who knew how long that would be, or that she had never had the chance to tell one of them something important…

Katara walked over to the edge of the cloud. She could see the earth from there. The gentle winds of the spirit world seemed to torment her, not calm her. Katara removed the Waterbender's necklace she had always held so dear to her heart and dropped it, not caring where it landed. Then she took its replacement out of her pocket.

Katara looked at it and smiled. It was the necklace that Aang had made for her. She fastened it around her neck and touched the pendant, the same way she had done with her Waterbender's necklace so many times before. She stared out at earth, at her home, at everything and anything that she had ever loved.

Katara's necklace broke through the cloud and tumbled down through the spirit world. It tumbled for an eternity, and landed in Aang's hand.

When he caught Katara's necklace, Aang only muttered one thing; "I'm coming, Katara."

Meanwhile, Katara said something else, shouting it towards earth at the top of her lungs; "Aang! Can you hear me? I love you!"

Okay, that's all for now. Did you enjoy it? I hope so. This chapter is something I am very proud of, so review… please!!! And chapter 5 will be around in about 2-3 weeks or so. Thanks for reading!!
