A/N: Finally, the next chapter which starts off the actual story. Please review if you read. I'm hoping to get 100 reviews for this story. Any way, on to the story.

In Ba Sing Se that night, Aang was in a peaceful dream. Or, it was peaceful to begin with...

Aang's P.O.V.

"This all seems so familiar," I think to myself as I see a stone statue in the background. I smile to myself and call to my red-headed companion," HEY, LIN!!!"

"What now, Aang?" she asked, clearly annoyed. "If it's another Rabbit-monkey, no, you can't keep it."

" Just check out this new move I made up," I say, " I call it THE AIR SCOOTER!!" I try the move, laughing as I do so, but end up looking stupid by running into a statue.

Lin laughed as she said, "Aang, what have I told you about trying new moves?"

" First, make sure you're not going to give yourself a concussion if you fall," I reply, annoyed at my doctor of a best friend. " Lin, you're never any fun."

" No, fun?" she asks. " Aang, its all fun and games with me until someone gets hurt, and Monk Gyatso would kill me if that someone was you. You're my little brother I'm supposed to look after you."

" You're only older than me by five minutes!!"

"So? That still makes me older than you!"

"Grrr," I say playfully as I tackle her to the ground.

I am soon again on the ground with Lin on top of me, looking, yet again, like a complete idiot.

"Pinned you again," she gloated, " I guess tattoos don't make the air bender.

"Alright, Lin you win," I said my normal, cheery tone on my voice, " Now, LET ME UP!!"I say, pushing her off of me.

We're soon in a little sparring match over nothing.

I suddenly remember why this dream is so familiar to me. This is about when I turned 10, almost 103 years ago. Lin, my sister, and I were heading for the tree house we had built not too far from here. But, something's different. Something's not right.

Suddenly, a giant wall of fire is in front of us. I know where this is going, but I can't say anything but," Lin, I don't think going in there is a good idea," my voice shaking with fear.

"Right, … Pig hen!!" she responded to my shaky voice.

"No, I'm not! I.. Just... don't think that it's safe… that's all."

" Whatever, I'm going to check it out. You can stay if you like."

Suddenly, a hand reached out of the wall of fire and Lin screamed.

"Aang!!! HELP ME!!!"

"Lin!! NO!!!" I cried out and tried to move, to save her, to do something! Anything! But I found myself rooted to the ground as she struggled and cried for help.

"AANG!! PLEASE!! HELP ME!!"

"LIN!!! NOOOOO!!!"

That last cry followed me into the waking world, and different cries of surprise echoed my cry of pain.

"ACK!!"

"WHA?!?"

"WHAT THE-?!?"

"HUH?!"

"What's going on? Are we getting ambushed again?"

I sighed at my friends' confusion and at my own disappointment." It's nothing," I say to them, " Go back to sleep"

Sokka, the one who had asked if we were getting attacked, said, "Don't need to tell me twice. Stupid Avatar. Stupid nightmares."

Toph, the one who had cried out first, said, "I'm with snoozles."

Suki and Mai said, "Whatever," and fell asleep next to their respective boyfriends.

Zuko was the first to ask, "Another one of THOSE dreams?"

"More or less," I responded.

Katara, my girlfriend asked, "Want to talk about it?"

"Do I ever?"

Zuko went back to sleep next to Mai, but Katara stayed awake.

" You're sure you don't want to talk about it Aangie? You KNOW it always helps."

"I'm fine, Kat. Go back to sleep," I said, affection thick in my voice. But I'm not fine. I feel responsible for Lin's death, for ALL of the monk's deaths! If only I hadn't run away, I might still have my twin sister, my Yang.

I whisper into the night, hoping that SOMEWHERE her spirit will hear me, "Goodnight, Lin, I miss you," as a tear falls down my face.
