The song for this one was 'We Gonna Win'.

Gyatso and Kara: Prodigies of an Avatar

Chapter 13- Ice

Gyatso could not believe his ears. "Iroh! Listen to me!" Gyatso pulled Iroh to face him. "You don't want to do this, Iroh!" He shook his friend desperately, but nothing seemed to work. "Iroh, think! Do you think your family will approve of this?" "Do you think your family will approve of what you're trying to do?" Iroh turned to Gyatso and just stared at him. He looked paler than usual that night. His cheek bones were tight, and you could tell he was struggling with what he thought was right and wrong.

"Iroh, you don't want to make the wrong choice." Gyatso said one last thing before Iroh continued banging on the window. "Fine," Gyatso backed up and took Roku's hand. "Do what you want, but we will not be at all a part of this." Iroh turned around one last time. "I'm not going to steal a boat, Gyatso. I'm going to use yours."

"Mine! That ship is like 21 years older than me!" The ship that Iroh was talking about the ship that was handed down to Gyatso from his Grandfather. It was from the Day of Black Sun. It was the oldest ship in the capitol. Of course it had all of the compartments they needed, but Gyatso worried about how it would hold up against the harsher waters and hail. "Gyatso, it is the only way not to steal a different boat." Gyatso sighed and wiped what he didn't know was either sweat or rain from his forehead. "Okay, Iroh. We just need to leave before Pakku gets up."

The quads ran through the melting ice of the North Pole. The four were hand in hand, having the other's back. The hail was cracking the ice, and the rain was making it slippery. A total death sentence, especially because it was shiny navy blue sky and no one was awake anymore. If anyone fell through the ice, they were a goner.

Rika was struggling to keep hold of her bag full of clothes while running through slippery ice. She could feel the liquid in between her toes. The ice was melting because if her boots! Her boots were kept by the fireplace, so they were the only ones warm enough to melt ice! She gasped when she felt ice crack from under her. She squeezed Gyatso's hand tighter. She had only missed falling by a centimeter. As the group went through another patch of thin ice, Rika slipped on the ice.

"Ouch!" She screamed falling onto the ice. "Rika! Are you alright?" Gyatso went to help her up. She exhaled. "Fortunately" She started to bring herself up. Crack. "AH!" She fell through the ice, and dropped into the icy water. She felt her body freeze up, and tried to make air bubbles and float back up. She just couldn't do it. "Rika, reach up and grab my hand!" Iroh brought his hand into the water. It was no use; she was drifting deeper and deeper. And even worse, she was blacking out. Her eyes stood open, but she wasn't there.

Iroh brought his hand up frantically and looked at Gyatso. "What are you waiting for? Water-bend her out!" Gyatso's face showed a picture of panic. "I don't know how to do that!" "You mom and dad did it all the time!" Gyatso rolled his eyes in a scared motion. "I am not a water-bending master! I just know the easy ticks, not the life saving ones-" The boys turned to see Roku jump into the water. "Roku!" Iroh practically jumped in to get his brother.

The boys looked into the water and could've sworn they were seeing the impossible. Roku was swimming up with Rika in arm. He looked bad though. As the boys helped Roku and Rika out, they noticed that Rika was a light shade of sea blue. Iroh took her in his arms and looked at where they were going. The boat was a mile away, and Rika had a pulse. They could still make it, Rika's bag just wouldn't.

Okay, that was a really hard chapter to write, personally. I had a lot going through my head about this. I'm already thinking about future plots (finish the first one! I know)

Roku to the rescue!! I know, it seems really weird that a ten year old could save a thirteen year old, but I love the concept. Plus, Roku needs some praise.

Okay, just for the future, I'll be telling you the bending abilities of the kids (I will not spoil the good ones though!):

Gyatso: Water Bending

Kara: Air Bending

Iroh: It's a surprise!

Topaz: Same as Iroh. In my point of view, this will be the best scene in the book beside Iroh kissing- wait I said no spoiling, sorry :-(

Kysohi: Will maybe take up her Moms job?

Kuzon: ??

God Bless,
