Okay, so i decided that i wanted to try my hand at drabbles for a bit because i dont really want to finish my longer stories right now. These three are more Bumicentric, for a reason, but i'm not going to tell you why. You can guess if you want, but i dont know. They're relatively short, but i do have a couple others that are longer and i will post them in a couple of days.

Originally i was thinking about doing three sets of three, for Kya, Bumi, and Tenzin, but i really like writing them, so i guess you can start to expect them every once in a while, but i promise i'll eventually get back to the full length one shots.

It's a relief to not have to stick with a story for so long right now though. For now, drabbles are what you get.

Roof

"What are you doing on the roof?" Aang looked up at his son, who was sitting on the roof with a calculating expression on his face. When he heard his father's voice, he looked down like he hadn't noticed him before he half smirked.

"What are you doing on the ground?"

"Good point." Aang shrugged. "Are you stuck? Would you like help getting down?"

"No," Bumi replied quickly. Too quickly for his father not to notice. "I'm just, uh, enjoying the view."

"Do you want me to get Tenzin for you?" Aang smirked back.

"…yes please."

Help

"Bumi," a familiar voice whispered from behind him. He turned to see the face of his older sister, who was looking slightly suspicious, glancing around like she would be caught and accused of doing something wrong any second.

"Yes?"

"I need your help," Kya pleaded.

"With what exactly?"

"I need you to do something to distract mom and dad for an hour while I go into the city to get something very important," she replied breathlessly.

Bumi rubbed his hands together devilishly, "Okay, but you owe me big time. I will keep them busy if you do my chores for the next two weeks."

Kya groaned.

"Plus all the extra chores my little stunt will earn me."

"Deal," Kya sighed, knowing he was happy to be getting out of at least cleaning the bison stalls, feeding the lemurs, and dish duty. "Also, don't tell where I am or what I'm doing, or the deal's off."

"You got about an hour and a half," Bumi grinned like a madman.

Kya turned on her heels and waved a hand back at him as she ran, "Thanks Bumi."

She stopped in her tracks when she hit the stairs, hesitating for a second as she realized she might not want to be in any hurry to get back and see the damage he could do in an hour. She turned just in time to see him put his hands behind his back and whistle as he walked away. She wasn't sure asking for his help would be a good idea after all. She sighed and raced down the steps, knowing she would figure out what he would do soon enough.

Flyer

The thin flyer felt heavier than a rock in his hands. He had read it a dozen times, and had memorized most of it. Sitting on the steps with one knee drawn up to his chest, he read it once more.

There was a recruiting in the city, for the United Forces, in just under a week. His parents wouldn't let him go if they knew he was even thinking about it. Uncle Sokka would understand. Kya and Tenzin might understand, maybe even his father would. Even Toph and Lin would be able to think it through before they gave their opinions, but he could forget about letting his mother find out. She would be against it before it even came out of his mouth. So he didn't tell anyone.

He sighed again and crumpled up the paper before shoving it into a pocket.

It probably wasn't a good idea.

He stood and walked along one of the many paths of the island, catching glimpses of his brother learning some advanced airbender stuff, and Kya waterbending with their mother. They had things figured out in a sense. They knew what they could do, wanted to do, and would be able to do in a few years. It seemed he was the only one without a plan. He smiled a bit at the irony of that thought, but it didn't last long as he continued on his way, mind racing with things he might want to do.

Maybe he would go to the recruiting, just to see if it was right for him.

Most of my stories actually do start as drabbles that i lengthen out a thousand or more words, but when i post drabbles for this, it'll be because i just want to put my ideas out there without elaborating and making them longer. If you want, feel free to write more on them, but i just cant continue on these three.

Huh. Well, hope you liked them. Ciao
