Xiu Juan POV

As Aang fell off the ship, I heard my sister scream. All of a sudden Aang went into the avatar state and took out all of the men we were fighting, when it was done Aang fell to the ground, weakened from so much power. Rose and I ran to Aang and helped him up, just then Katara and Sokka came on a flying bison. Aang told us that the bison's name was Appa. Aang, Rose, and I climbed onto Appa and started to fly away when Zuko and his Uncle Iroh shot a fire ball at us. I nodded to Rose and when the fire ball came near we blocked it. Zuko and Iroh stared in shock at our power. Luckily Aang, Katara, and Sokka were not looking when we did that, which is a good thing.

"Soooooooooooo, what took you guys so long?" my sister Rose asked smugly

"Well if you really want to know…" Sokka began

"I WAS BEING SARCASTIC YOU MEAT HEAD!" Let's just say that my sister Rose is a hothead and proud of it.

*Rose gives the look that says heck yeah!*

Sokka was completely petrified by my sister's outburst, but you should've seen his face! He almost wet his pants. Aang was trying to figure out how to get to the Southern Air Temple, so we kind of had to tell him he was going in the wrong direction (Don't ask how we know).

Once we arrived at the Southern Air Temple, Aang was so excited to be home again, but to be honest it was just heartbreaking that he's so naïve about what has happened in the last hundred years or so. Aang brought us to the statue of Monk Gyatso, and then he opened the chamber of secrets! OMG Harry Potter crossover! Just kidding. Anyway he opened a secret place that would help him along with his journey. Just then Aang, Katara, and Sokka hid behind statues and told us to hide too. We just stared at them and then we saw what they were hiding from. A flying lemur, we just burst out laughing like maniacs. Sokka came out, sulking at being laughed at by some girls.

"No harm in being prepared. It could've been the Fire Nation." Katara said icily, Rose blew a fuse.

"Okay, that's it. Why do you guys keep saying "The Fire Nation did this", "The Fire Nation did that." When, in actuality, the vast majority of the Fire Nation is nowhere near you!"

Katara faced me and yelled "The Fire Nation killed my mother!" Rose shouted louder.

"Yeah, the ENTIRE FIRE NATION MARCHED UP TO YOUR DOOR AND KILLED HER! If they didn't ALL do it, don't BLAME them all!"

"Wait! Why are you defending them! They are all heartless and cruel people!"

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP, YOU IGNORANT GIRL!"

"Please Katara can you just let it go?" I begged

"WHY! WHY SHOULD I WHEN THEY KILLED MY MOTHER!"

THEY KILLED OUR MOTHER TOO!" I shot back

"THEN WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING THEM!"

"IF YOU KNEW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN OUTCAST OR A DISGRACE! THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE COMPLAINING!" I shot back again

"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH DEFENDING THE FIRE NATION!"

"BECAUSE OUR MOTHER WAS ONE OF THEM! AND SO AM I!" Rose screamed. The room fell silent. Katara, shakily, turned to me.

"Is this true? I thought you two were twins."

"Yes we are, so I am also Fire Nation."

"You don't look like it." Sokka said trying to make a joke

"Okay, I guess I have to tell you this story from the beginning. When our mother married our father, he's from a different nation she had us. One of us is originally a water bender and the other a fire bender. Our mother was killed by our uncle, who put us in a prison cell, so we escaped and found you guys.

"Why are you two out casts?" Aang asked curiously

"This is going to be hard to believe but even though we only know how to bend our element. We can bend each others' element and we need to learn how to air bend and earth bend.

"How can you say that? Aang is the only person who can do that." Katara fumed

"Wanna bet on that? Check it out." Rose challenged

Rose fire bended and shot it at me (my sister's fire is red when she wants it to be). Katara shrieked, Rose and I just rolled our eyes. I then shot water at her and we made steam. We both yelled switch! And I shot a fire ball at Rose (which is usually blue but can be red) and she shot water at me of course making steam again. Then we both water bended out of one hand and fire bended out the other making them all stare in awe. Rose and I then blended our fire together and made a yin and yang sign with blue and red fire. Once we were done we made water out of thin air and doused the fire making a ton of steam. They didn't say anything for several minutes.

"How do we know that you're not here to kill Aang?" Katara asked defensively

Rose smiled. "We could have killed you, Aang or Sokka at anytime. Xiu Juan says that Sokka learned that already. We're certainly trained for it. But why didn't we?" They blanked. "Because we have a common enemy. Your destiny is to defeat the Fire Lord. And it is our destiny to help you. Or…catastrophes will happen." I nodded at Rose's statement. We weren't going to scare the poor travelers. We then left the Southern Air Temple and headed to Kyoshi Island to ride the elephant koi fish.
