I would like to thank pretty in green and Adridere for reviewing, it is greatly appreciated.

Idea not originally mine… belongs to spinellilove over at deviantArt, check her out she is somehow able attempting the 100 prompt challenge with 4 different ships (Taang, Zutara, Toko, Tokka)

(Insert name here) doesn't own avatar (insert funny joke here)

Breathe Again

Water droplets clung to Aang's clothes as he flew above the clouds as the see started churning below him. He knew running wasn't a good idea but yet he still pressed on, it had worked for him so many other times, right? He was perpetually asking himself as the black clouds seemed to be racing towards him. Appa groaned in protest, knowing this situation was not going to end well prompting Aang to reassure him telling him that this was the right thing to do, mostly to try and convince himself.

The storm was worse than expected allowing Aang to take his mind off what had caused him to run. Then suddenly a bolt of lightning came down, causing Aang to sharply veer Appa away from the lighting and unfortunately into a large wave, plunging the avatar and his bison into the sea.

The old water was a shock to the system and caused Aang to take a mouthful of water down with him. Aang seemingly drifted through his memories, why he decided to run

It was her obliviousness, her constant goading and unrelenting pressure had just become too much. 'Why couldn't she just let me in,' Aang thought, 'why must she make it so hard to like her? Why must I love her?!' Aang's eyes shot open, the white glow illuminating the churning sea, the avatar state took over, quickly launching the pair out of the water and back into the storm.

Gaining control again Aang quickly took a deep breath, only realizing now how close he was to drowning. The sky rumbled above as a flash emanated from behind them before the rain seemed to ease for a moment before a bolt of lightning came directly towards them. Aang reacted as quickly as he could, trying to control the energy in his body before he felt the energy surge through him and quickly he tried to send it back out into the sky, but still Aang keeled over in pain.

"Come on twinkle toes, Are you really going to let this stop you," her voice forced her way into his head, forcing him to take a few quick and painful breathes. Sensing the trouble Appa quickly turned back and flew as fast as he could. "Are you really that bad," her voice continued and slowly the breathes became easier, "I bet even Sokka could do this,' another bolt of lightning flew across the sky and the pain began to subside. "Great work twinkles… Keep it up… not much longer to go," Aang took a final deep breath and opened his eyes, relieved to see the bright blue sky now above him.

'maybe it isn't so hard to love her'

I do have a habit of Aang becoming very angry recently… or at least losing control... next up will be zuko, that i will promise
