A/N- Sup readers? I've FINALLY started to update again. YAY!

Getting back on topic, I like this one-shot. It gives us a chance to see the sibling relationship of our little Kataang children.

This one is just a little encounter between Kikan and Daini. Kikan is 10, Daini is 8. After this, I'm afraid that our little Kikan that we've come to know and love will be taken out of the limelight for a little as I build up the other characters. So, enjoy the last moments of Kikan. Although, I'm sure he'll come back later. ;D R&R PLZUMZZZ.

An Airbender's Advice

Daini concentrated on the little sphere of water she was guiding around the room with a sharp eye to make sure it wouldn't splash to the ground. It was hard enough guiding it around, let alone getting it back up off the floor. It was a little embarrassing that she couldn't perform these simple techniques that her mother only used minimal amounts of effort to accomplish yet. It wasn't that she wasn't good; it was more of the fact that her mother had been unable to give her lessons because of Zen and her father was too busy teaching Kikan airbending to give her lessons. She must not have been very high on the priority list. Though, Aang had promised to teach her soon. Kikan was mastering airbending very quickly and he'd be finished with his lessons around age twelve or thirteen, about the same age Aang was when he'd mastered airbending. That gave Kikan a lot of free time since he got every move in a minimal amount of tries, so her father would soon be able to teach her.

For now though, she was on her own.

She was just about to bring the little sphere back to the bowl when a flash of orange whisked down the hallway and a gust of air swept into the room, freezing the ball solid. Daini lost her concentration at the surprise attack, and the ice plummeted to the floor. She stared at it for a few seconds before she snapped her head up to glare at her brother standing at the door.

"Kikan! You ruined my training!" she yelled in a reprimanding manner, sounding very much like her mother. Kikan just grinned mischievously and invited himself into her room, her eyes boring holes into his shirt the whole time.

"I didn't do it, the wind did." he said with a shrug, still grinning. Daini's hands clenched into fists at her sides in annoyance at her brother.

"The wind is nice and doesn't freeze their sister's water unless it's controlled by annoying brothers like you!" she snapped. Kikan was enjoying the reaction he was getting from his little sister, but she was overreacting.

"Relax, Daini. Just unfreeze it with your waterbending. No need to get so worked up." he said, sitting on her window sill. Daini resisted the urge to push him out the window. Instead, her glare became even more deadly.

"I can't do that yet." she said through gritted teeth. Upon hearing this, Kikan immediately felt guilty and he hunched his shoulders sheepishly. He hadn't meant to mess her up that much, he only wanted to interrupt it for a minute to get on her nerves.

"Oh. I'm sorry Daini, I only froze it because I thought you could." he mumbled. That only made Daini feel worse and she sat on her bed, pulling her knees to her chest and burying her face in them.

"I'm a horrible bender. You're so lucky." she mumbled. Kikan floated over to her bed and sat in front of her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"You're not horrible. You just need a teacher is all. Dad's going to give you lessons as soon as I finish learning the air vortex. He said it was only fair considering how long you've waited." he reassured her, but Daini still had her head down. Kikan gazed sadly at her, wondering what he could do to cheer his sister up. Then he had an idea.

Jumping from the bed, he tugged Daini up with him.

"Let go, Kikan." she grumbled, trying to pull herself from her brother's grasp. Hadn't he done enough already?

"Just hear me out Daini." he urged. Daini glared at him for a moment before sighing and waiting for him to go on with his plan.

"Okay, I don't know anything about water bending, but I can teach you some key bending tips that might help." he said, smiling a little. "Try and unfreeze the water."

"I told you, I can't do that yet." she reminded him, beginning to become irritated.

"Just try." he pleaded. She shot him a look before moving one of her hands in a fluid motion. Nothing happened.

"See?" she said, but Kikan wasn't listening. He was walking towards her and before she knew what was happening, her leg was yanked backwards, almost making her lose her balance.

"Stay like that. Don't move." he ordered. Daini was thoroughly confused and irritated.

"Why did you do that?" she demanded. Kikan just waved it away.

"Just try whatever you did again." he instructed. Daini grumbled to herself and tried again. This time, the water melted instantly and formed a puddle on the floor. Daini goggled at the water, then turned to her brother who was smiling.

"How…" she started, but Kikan interrupted.

"It's all about stance. You won't get anything moving if you stand there like a stick." he replied, then he left the room with the speed of an airbender, leaving a soft breeze behind him. He was gone before Daini could thank him.

At that moment, Daini remembered the words that her father had once told her. The separation of the four elements is an illusion. She thought it was ridiculous at first, but now as she stood staring at the door, she thought had a pretty good idea of what he meant.

A/N- WEEEEE! I just love these kids. They're a big barrel of Awesomesauce. I hope you guys enjoyed that chapter. Or one-shot. Or whatever you want to call it. Review please! 8DD
