LLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE this chapter!!!! Enjoy!! Hee hee!
The next day, the Gaang had been flying since early that morning. Zuko and Sokka were having a nice debate on war tactics as they called it. Katara called it an argument. Toph sat next to Katara.
"I'm bored." She said with a monotone voice.
"Can I brush your hair?" Katara asked with a smile. Toph groaned and agreed if it was something to do. Katara got out the brush and began to comb out the knots.
"Avatar." Iroh said as he moved closer to the front to be near Aang.
"Call me Aang." Aang said with a smile.
"Aang," Iroh corrected, "You have to learn firebending, correct?"
Aang nodded.
"I will gladly teach you." Iroh offered.
"You will?" Aang said happily as he whipped around. Iroh nodded.
Aang turned around to steer Appa. He smiled.
That night, Aang got on the saddle.
"Are you done yet?" Toph asked Katara, who was still brushing Toph's hair. Katara nodded and put the brush away. Toph asked for her band that she had in her hair earlier.
"You look good with your hair down." Katara insisted, "Aang, don't you think so?"
"What did you say?" Aang asked as he looked over at the girls.
"How does Toph look?" Katara asked again.
Aang stared at Toph.
He smiled and said, "Beautiful."
Soon everyone was beginning to get tired and in a second, Aang and Toph were sleeping away. Iroh soon dozed off followed by Sokka. Zuko and Katara talked for a while, and then went to sleep.
The next day, the Gaang landed at noon so Iroh could begin teaching Aang firebending. It was only two weeks 'til Aang had to fight the fire lord. He needed as much practice as he could get. After a few hours of firebending, Aang and Toph practiced earthbending. And after earthbending, he and Katara practiced waterbending.
That night, Aang could hardly move, he was so tired. After supper, Aang was fast asleep.
Aang was a fast-learning student, and was half way down learning firebending. Each element seemed to get easier and easier. He had finished waterbending and was almost done with earthbending.
In a week, the Gaang was about to enter fire nation territory. They decided to camp a mile away.
That night, Aang sat down next to Toph, who was sitting on her sleeping bag.
"Do you think I can do it?" Aang asked her. Toph realized that he was talking about defeating the fire lord.
"The real question is, do you think you can do it?" Toph corrected.
"I don't know." Aang answered.
"I think you can." Toph reassured. Aang look at her and smiled.
"I think I can, too." He said.
Katara was making the supper while Sokka and Zuko were having another "nice debate" about instincts. Iroh was sipping the tea Katara had made for him. Iroh could not stop talking about how nice she made tea, or how well the tea tasted when she made it. Katara just smiled at him.
After supper, everyone went to sleep, except for Zuko and Katara. Zuko couldn't help but think of his father and his sister, Azula. He got up and started to walk to the nearby stream.
"What wrong?" Katara asked him sweetly. Zuko sat down next to her.
"I'm afraid to face him." He told her. Katara smiled at him and giggled.
"What's so funny?" He asked her getting a little annoyed. Katara noticed that the others were starting to wake up.
"Come on." She said as she grabbed his hand. The two went to the stream. Zuko sat down against a tree. Katara sat next to him.
"You, my dear prince, must never be afraid." Katara said in a proper voice. Zuko smiled at her.
"Why, I ask you my dear lady?" He said also in the proper sounding voice.
"Have you forgotten, you are royalty." Katara said as she stood. Zuko stood also. He gave a bow, and she curtsied. Then they began to dance to no music.
"Is that so?" Zuko questioned, still acting proper.
"Yes, it is very true." Katara said, still acting proper too.
"Then what does that make you?"
"A mere peasant."
Zuko whirled her around, and then stopped.
"I can change that." He said.
"How so, your highne-" Katara was cut off by a warm, embracing kiss from Zuko.
"You'll see." He replied, and then the two went back to the campsite and slept.
The next day, the Gaang came to the border of the fire nation. The ships and men were lined up ready for anything.
"Aang, do you think we'll make thru?" Katara asked as she worried.
"We will, just watch." Aang replied with a smile.
He steered Appa, dodging that fire balls thrown at them by the warriors below. When they got past the guards, the Gaang landed right in front of the palace. Guards swarmed around them. The Gaang together blocked them.
"Come on." Aang shouted as started running up the stairs. Sokka, Iroh, and Toph followed. Zuko sighed.
"You'll be fine." Katara said as she pulled him along.
When they got inside, Aang stopped and turned to Zuko. Zuko realized the young avatar had no idea where to go. Zuko went to the front of the group and directed them to the throne room. Aang burst open the doors.
"Fire Lord Ozai." Aang shouted.
The fire lord lifted his head.
"Hello avatar," he said in a sly voice, "I've been expecting you, but not your allies."
The fire lord glared at Zuko. Just then, a person walked in.
"Hello father," Azula greeted, but then noticed the Gaang, "It looks like some rats snuck in."
She smiled cattishly at her brother.
"Father, let me take care of the avatar for you." Azula offered.
"The avatar is for me," Ozai said, "But you may fight your brother."
Azula thank him and faced her brother.
"Finally, we will see which one is the better fighter." Azula said as lightning play in her fingers. Fire danced in Zuko's hands.
They two siblings began to throw their elements at each. Ozai got down from his throne and faced the avatar.
"Let's us also see who fights better." Ozai said as he took off his over robe.
Soon, they too were throwing and dodging their elements. The two great battles went on.
As Zuko fought Azula, every memory of his mother raced through his head. Anger built up inside of him.
"Azula." Zuko screamed as he gave a powerful blaze of fire. The blast damaged Azula. He walked over to his sister, who was on the ground.
"I will die knowing you are hated." Azula whispered. And with those words, she died.
Meanwhile, Aang seemed to be winning. He dodged most of the blasts. Aang dodged a blast, and the blast hit Toph's arm. She screamed in pain. Katara ran over to her. Aang look at what he had done. Instantly, his eyes and tattoos glowed. He yelled and began to throw element after element at the fire lord. With a great blast of all the elements combined, he killed the fire lord Ozai. His tattoos and eyes returned normal. Aang sat on the ground breathless.
Katara finished healing Toph, when Aang came over to them. He stared at Toph. She jump up and hugged him.
"You did it." She said as she cried.
"Yeah, I did." Aang replied, hugging her back.
"I don't mean to ruin the moment here," Sokka interrupted, "But with the fire lord dude died and his daughter, who's going to be the new fire lord?"
Aang looked at Iroh.
"Why are you looking?" Iroh asked, "Ozai's son is right there." He pointed at Zuko. Zuko stared at him. Katara's eyes widened. She jumped on Zuko, making him fall on the ground. Katara gave him a big, warm kiss.
Sokka sighed and thought to himself, Time to let go.
Aang smiled. It was over. Everything he had worked for was now done.
