The Avatar and the Fire Lord: The Sequel Chapter 4: The Kids Are All Right, an avatar: last airbender fanfic

The curtains were closed for a long time, which made the audience restless. Finally, some member of the cast came out, and lifted a sign that read 'TEN YEARS LATER.' The audience as well as Team Avatar became apprehensive about what was going to happen…

Then the curtains opened, showing the Western Air Temple looking a lot better polished and maintained than it currently did. Another actress, meant to be an older Actor Katara, was 'waterbending' with a young actress that looked like her. An older version of Actor Aang was bringing out his glider with a small boy with a glider of his own.

The real Aang and Katara looked at each other before they blushed heavily. On stage, music started.

Chorus:

When the earth was young
and the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the great beyond, with its many paths
Man and nature lived side by side

In this wilderness of danger and beauty
Lived a family, bonded by love
Their hearts full of joy
they ask now for guidance
Reaching out to the skies up above

Actor Aang and the boy snapped out their glider's wings. Actor Katara yelled out at them "Tenzin, Aang, don't fly too high! AANG!" before they glided with the help of wires all across the stage and even into the audience, causing it to gasp in awe.

Chorus:

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls
with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
we are all the same
Brothers to each other
In this world we remain truly
brothers all the same

Give us wisdom to pass to each other
Give us strength so we understand
That the things we do
the choices we make
Give direction to all life's plans

To look in wonder
at all we've been given
In a world that's not always as it seems
Every corner we turn
only leads to another
A journey ends, but another begins

The audience clapped as Actors Aang and Tenzin returned to the stage. Actor Katara hugged them both, as did the girl. "Okay, that's enough airbending for today, boys." She said, smiling. "Now we need to work on waterbending with Kaveri."

She and Actor Aang both walked over with the girl to the fountain, 'bending' the 'water' in it. Suddenly, a few trumpets sounded from offstage and an older Actor Mai with Actor Zuko and two small children, a boy and a girl, walked on. The real Mai and Zuko blushed, as the adults all exchanged cordial greetings. The children chattered a little in between each other.

"It's a relief to come here," Actor Zuko said. "I've been getting even more hate mail than usual. And they aren't even original!" He made quotes with his fingers as he sarcastically mocked them. "'Dear 'Fire Lord', we hate you, please die.'"

The real Zuko looked glum at this, and Mai patted him on the back in comfort.

"Ah, they're idiots." Actor Katara said dismissively. "And how are Roku and Irah doing?"

"Oh, you named your daughter after me?" asked Iroh, touched.

"Who better?" Zuko said, smiling.

"Well." Actor Mai said simply. Then older actors for Sokka and Suki walked on, with a boy tagging along near Actor Sokka's hip, and Actor Suki clutching a bundle in her arms. The audience wolf-whisked as they blushed. The adults exchanged greetings, but the boy stayed near Actor Sokka.

"How's Hakoda doing? And Yue?" Actor Aang asked.

"You named your daughter after your dead girlfriend?" Katara asked Sokka, who simply teared up a little.

"Good, both of them." Actor Sokka said, and the adults all went off to talk by themselves, except Actor Aang, who hung behind. He spoke to the audience: "Destiny is a funny thing. It can be like a waterfall, rushing, then still." He turned to Actors Irah and Hakoda. "Sometimes, you have to help it along."

Using 'earthbending', he caused Actor Irah to trip into Actor Hakoda's arms, causing the audience to hoot. Actor Irah, looking embarrassed, allowed herself to be led off by him as the curtains closed.

"So, kids, huh?" Iroh said, hoping to ease the tension.
