Benders of Our Lives 2: Transformation.
Chapter 2

Disclaimer: We don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender, and for that I'm sure most of our readers are glad.
It was not your normal day on Kyoshi Island. Crowds were gathering and there was a great commotion.
"The Avatar is here!" one of villagers yelled.
The foaming mouth guy stopped his normal daily work and came to see the amazing sight. He saw not only a lovely young lady who accompanied a young boy, and young man, who looked similar to the young woman. He thought it was obvious that this lady had to be the Avatar, since she was as beautiful as Kyoshi was.
His mind began to reel as he thought of how he loved her, how if they would be together, he would be the happiest man in the world. But then he realized he wasn't really worthy of being with an Avatar, he was merely a lowly peasant. But if, if they could be a couple, the young man's mouth began to foam as he imagined the possibility, and he passed out.
-.-.-.-.-
Zuko was alone. He was in his room thinking how close he came to seeing the Water Tribe warrior again. He had longed to see the young warrior again, but he his servant hadn't gotten all the information. So Zuko was alone.
There was a knock at the door, interrupting Zuko's thoughts about Sokka.
"What is it?" Zuko shouted irately. He hated being disturbed.
"Nephew! It's me," Iroh said wearing a grin. "I have narrowed down the location of elephant koi fish."
Zuko barely held back a grin and let his uncle in.
"It seems there can only be found in a few places. Two of which are close by. One is off the coast of the mainland and the other is Kyoshi Island."
"Have the captain set the course for the closest one," Zuko ordered.
"I will, get some rest," Iroh said gently. "You will need it when we encounter the Avatar."
-.-.-.-.-
Sokka spent the day proselytizing, and flirting with a few of the Kyoshi warriors. One in particular seemed interested in his Momo Scriptures.
"Really?" the girl said; her eyes wide with amazement. "So you recovered from a coma and this is what you learned during your unconsciousness?"
"That's right," Sokka said with a tone of surety. He stealthily checked out the girl, she was gorgeous. "Say, would you be interested in becoming a priestess for my religion?"
"Really? I could be a priestess?" Suki said. "Could I still be a warrior? I mean, it's something that's really important to me."
Sokka thought for a moment. "Sure, all that matters if you're a virgin."
"Oh yes, I am one," Suki said, pleased with herself. In a quiet tone she whispered. "Not all Kyoshi Warriors are though."
"Oh really?" Sokka said, with thoughts of a different nature running through his mind. After all, populating the world with believers was a directive.
Suki nodded, smiling widely. Just then Sokka noticed Aang walking by. Aang had a gaggle of young girls around him, pestering him, following him, in general obsessing with him. Aang gave Sokka an awkward smile; he wasn't quite used to the whole fame thing yet. Sokka gave Aang a thumbs up, for having captured the attention of so many girls at once.

Master Yu and Xu Ren arrived at the academy. Xu Ren, who was wearing her normal dress, and a shawl around her large muscular shoulders, took a good look around.
"You certainly have a lot of students," Xu Ren remarked, as she looked around nervously.
"I am a famous earthbending instructor," Master Yu boasted. He grinned at Xu Ren and put his hands around her arms, "I wouldn't mind taking you up as a student. We could discuss an alternative method a payment if you'd like."
Xu Ren felt very uncomfortable at Master Yu's suggestion. She pulled her arm away from him, "I'm sorry, I have to decline your offer. I am a master in earthbending."
"Perhaps we could do something else." Master Yu suggested, he noticed her discomfort and decided to take it down a notch, after all he wanted to keep the lovely woman around, "How about dinner?"
"I'd love to," Xu Ren said, a forced smile appearing on her chiseled face. She was only agreeing to keep him happy as a customer at the tavern.
-.-.-.-
The foaming mouth guy awoke to an unfamiliar ceiling.
"You're awake," a voice he didn't know said happily.
The young man rubbed his eyes, and turned to see who was talking to him. It was the Avatar goddess he had seen before. He couldn't believe his luck!
He smiled and said, "I will surly be alright from henceforth. Your wonderful love and care for me while I was unconscious has healed my wounds! Not just my wounds from this very day, or from the past, but every wound I shall ever incur!"
Katara had figured that her patient had hit his head pretty hard, but she was helping him more out of desire for something to do besides hang around Aang and his million and one fangirls than actual concern for the poor lad. She was worried that the young Avatar only wanted to chase girls, like her brother.
"This is a wonderful day that I may meet the most beautiful Avatar that has ever graced the world with her existence!" said the young man blurted out as he reached for Katara's hand. "How I would be in bliss if you spend a life time with me."
Katara purposely ignored most of what the young man said. "I'm not the Avatar. Aang is. You know the bald guy, with the arrow on his head, the Air Nomad."
"It does not matter that you are not the Avatar," the foaming mouth guy said earnestly. "In fact, it is fortunate for me that you are not. I tend to get motion sickness, and if you were the Avatar I would be obliged to travel great distances to be with you. I would be eternally grateful, and would forever remember it if you would but tell me that you return my affection, please, fair maiden, tell me that you love me."
Katara looked around for an easy excuse to leave. The young man she was tending to was clearly insane, and talked far too much. She walked the building that they were in, saying nervously, "Well, I should check on Aang, I think he probably needs me."
