Aang plopped down beside him (a little less gracefully than usual) a defeated air about him. "I was going to check out that cave a little closer... I don't like just sitting around doing nothing. It feels wrong, like I failed them." He hesitated then added. "but a good friend told me that everyone deserve's a second chance." Suki grinned. "this friend of yours, they must be very wise." she observed. For a moment aang got the feeling that suki had not stopped watching after he had traded places with zuko.
"Aang, were not doing nothing! we're planning it out." zuko said, then added sheepishly. "slowly." Aang stood. "Well i can't wait around for you two finish planning. I'm going to check out that cave." he said a little to harshly than he ment to. He opened his glider. Unlike when he had his bending, he took a running start and jumped off the little over-hang and soared into the sky. He soared over the sparkling water and grinned for the first time in days. He felt like some of the weight that had been holding him down for days was gone. Aang laughed as he did a spiral up into the air, and then rememberd his task. He flew higher so he could survey the bass of the giant pass. The cave had an inlet in front of it large enough to land appa on. Armed with this crucial news he flew back to the others. Just before he reached them he flew high up into the air and closed his staff, so he landed with a "thud" in front of them. "anything?" zuko asked. "yes there is a inlet at the base of the cave, that we could land appa on." Aang said gloolily sinking back into his mood. "well we talked while you were gone and decided-" suki started to say but was silenced by zuko; who interjected, "we're going first thing in the morning." he finished smiling. Suki punched him playfully in the arm at this. "ow." he whined rubbing the sore spot. This exchange made aang crack a smile.
