Chapter 11-Some Old Memories and new romance?

Aang and Kero are in the stable packing Appa with some provisions. There was an awkward silence until Aang began to speak.

Aang- Don't you think you should apologize to Lana? After all, she was your friend for a long time now. I can finish up here. I'll get you when we're ready.

Kero- Fine. I don't see what good it would do.

Kero looked around for Lana, who he found sitting by the lake. He walked up quietly behind her and sat next to her.

Kero- Hey.

Lana-...Hey.

Kero-Umm I'm sorry for saying what I said. I shouldn't have reacted like that. Your hair looks fine the way it is now.

Lana-No, I knew you were joking, I shouldn't have took it so seriously. Don't be sorry.

Kero- I guess that since it was me that told you to keep your hair long, I couldn't think of you as you with any other hairstyle. Remember how that even started?

Lana- Yeah, it started when I found out I was an avatar.

Flashback

Lana's Voice- You were visiting my town in Thailand to learn martial arts when we were both 4. You took a class with me in the summer and we became best friends. I even told you that my family is a group of secret airbenders which I never told anyone! When you had to go back home, we became penpals and wrote a lot to each other.

A scene with younger Lana and Kero hugging when young Kero starts talking.

Young Kero- You should really let your hair down in ponytails.

Young Lana- Really?

Young Kero- Yeah! You'd be a cute fighter in two ponytails.

Young Lana-Okay!! Next summer, you'll see me with two ponytails!!

Young Kero- Yay!! But still write to me!!

Lana's Voice- Then the following month, it happened. I activated the avatar state. Some bully started to attack me, but then I airbended him to the other side of the town. The town was so scared of me. I remember the letter I sent you said..."

Young Lana's voice- "Dear Kero, it's been so bad here, my friends have all stopped being friends with me. I guess this is why avatars are always disappearing, cause there friends leave them and they become too sad to save the world. I really hope you're still my friend, from Lana."

Kero's voice- That's true! Then my reply was...

Young Kero's voice- "Dear Lana, I'm still your friend!! The avatar is suppose to be cool!! That makes you cool!!! If your friends hate you in Thailand, then come live in my town in the Philippines!! Just don't tell anyone that your the Avatar or an airbender!! I can't wait to see you in my village. From Kero."

Kero's voice- Then in about a month, you come here on a flying bison with your family and a herd of bison also. We kept your secret until that day.

A scene appears where firebenders are destroying the village. A group of firebenders begin to attack Kero's family when Kero runs in.

Young Kero- LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Young Kero's eyes began to glow, and rock hands began coming out of the ground and grabbing the firebenders. Then the hands come together and form a giant ball, which Kero tosses into the canyon. But then, Kero began to shake the ground and destroy the town again. But then Lana stepped in and screamed at Kero.

Young Lana-Kero!! Stop!!! The firebenders are gone!! You can stop!!

Then young Kero hits Lana with some rocks and then stopped as he heard her scream.

Kero's voice- The whole town was grateful that I saved the town, but my friends were scared of me, and their parents worried for their children's safety, so they left. Leaving just us to play. Then came our other friends and we decided to keep our secret of being avatars.

Flashback ends

Kero- I can't believe that I hurted you all those years ago. I didn't even say I was sorry.

Lana-It's okay, I'm fine now, that's all that matters.

Kero-I'm really glad, I met a girl like you Lana, and that you have been my friend for all these years.

Lana-Likewise, Kero, except, change girl to boy. I'm glad I met a boy like you.

Then they both began to giggle. Then they looked at each other. Lana and Kero have been friends for so long, and have helped each other out in the worst situations. They both began moving closer to each other.

Kero-(Thinking)-Whoa, is this really happening? I mean, I've always liked Lana, but I never knew she liked me like this too.

Lana-(Thinking)-I never thought I'd have the courage to kiss Kero before. I hope it's nice!

Then the two's lips touched each other and time seemed to stay still, until Kero slowly moved away.They both blushed and smiled at each other.

Kero- Uhh well, uhh, I better go help Aang some more. I'll see you when we get back with everyone. Is that okay?

Lana-Sure.

As the two got up, Kero began to walk away, when Lana grabbed his hand and they began to kiss again.

Then Kero walked away. The two looked at each other and smiled one last time, before Kero went back to the stable.

That's chapter 11!!! Whoa! Who'd knew I know how to add some romance in a story? And right near Valentines Day? Anyway stay tuned!!!
