A/N: Thanks for all the alerts, favorites, and reviews! It means a lot! So here's chapter 2! Last we heard of them, Team Avatar is mulling over whether to help Zuko find his mom. Well, at least Katara was. Will she stay? Will she go? Oh the suspense! I've changed the rating to T for all the Kataang moments. Nothing too bad or gross... yet. JK, I would probably feel really awkward writing that. So, just kissy-huggy for now. Oh, and tell me if my writing is super awkward in those scenes cause I'm not sure how to do those parts.

"We don't have to go," Aang said.

"It's just... our family has been separated for so long, and now that we're all together..."

"I know what you mean. When you and Sokka found me in that iceberg, I felt like I had no family left. But now, you guys are my family, and I couldn't be happier. I couldn't imagine how I would feel if I had to give that up. Whatever you choose to do, I'll support you." Katara leaned over to hug Aang. It was good to know that someone had her side.

"Glad you understand," Katara said as they both stood up. "I love you," she said, kissing him. She really did. They way he always made her feel better, no matter what.

"I love you too," Aang said afterward.

"Bye," Katara said as she opened the tent flap and walked to her own tent in order to think alone.

I'm having a great time at home, but... I don't want to keep Aang from doing what he thinks is right. And if he wants to go, I'm definitely not staying behind. I'm not making Aang choose between me and helping Zuko He would be completely torn. Zuko definitely deserves our help after he helped us so much. And I know Aang wants to go. I just... wish we didn't have to leave so quickly.

"So," Sokka said, leading the discussion. "Have we all made our decision?" Everyone nodded.

"Yeah," Toph said. "We're helping Zuko find his mom. We have to."

"Great. When are we leaving?" Sokka asked.

"As soon as possible," Aang said, looking at Katara. "I have a feeling this is really important to Zuko, so we better pack our supplies." There was a nod of agreement and everyone left the tent to talk to Chief Hakoda.

"Dad, we have to tell you something," Sokka said with confidence, but also a bit of sadness. Hakoda turned around, indicating he was listening. Sokka continued. "We're going to help Zuko with something for a little while."

"And what would that be?" Hakoda asked.

"He wants to find his mom, and he wants our help. We're leaving as soon as possible."

Hakoda remembered Zuko from the boiling rock. He only had good memories of him.

"Well, you better get packing," Hakoda said with a smile as he hugged Sokka and Katara. Aang pulled in Suki and Toph for a hug, happy to have Hakoda's approval.

Sokka put the last of the supplies on Appa's back. Everyone was saying their goodbyes and the whole village was there to wish them farewell.

"Bye Dad, Gran-Gran," she said, tearing up as she hugged them both.

"Don't forget to practice," Pakku said, throwing a stream of water Katara's way. Katara froze the water in place and hugged him.

"Always," she laughed. "Bye." The teenagers climbed on Appa and flew away, embarking on a new adventure. Katara sighed. "I'll sure miss them."

"Yeah," Sokka said. "Sure will."

Zuko was feeding the turtle-ducks when the royal messenger knelt before him, bearing a scroll. He took the scroll in his hand, dismissing the messenger. He opened the scroll to read it.

Dear Zuko,

We have decided to accept your request. You should be expecting us before the full moon.

Sincerily,

Aang

Zuko rolled the scroll back up and put it in his sleeves as he went to talk to his uncle.

"Uncle, we need to prepare for a visit," he said. "The avatar and his friends are coming."

Iroh smiled. "How pleasant. Is there a reason for this visit?"

"Actually, yes. He's going to help me find my mother," Zuko said a bit darkly. Iroh frowned.

"Zuko," he began.

"She's alive. I'm sure of it."

"Remember what happened last time you tried to track someone down. You were too blind with determination that you couldn't realize your own destiny."

"This time it's different. I'm not looking for my enemy. And I want you to come with me."

"Of course, Zuko," Iroh agreed. He wanted to be with Zuko every step of the way to guide him.

A/N: Sorry, kind of short again, but I figured this would be a good stopping point. So, how was it? Awkward? Good? Constructive criticism welcome!

Question of the Day: How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was okay. I spent Thursday with my stepmom's family who I barely know, so it was kinda awkward. I spent Friday with my mom's family, which was awesome, cuz I love them to pieces and I love it when we get together, especially now that I actually have a cousin. Three, in fact. Two are about one and a half and the third is a newborn. They're all so cute! My favorite is the one boy, but that's only cause I've spent more time with him and he's the only one that does anything =.= Anyway... review!

Also, should I change my pen name? It's not really my real name, but when I signed up I didn't realize that everyone would have pen names that were more like usernames.

Until next time!
