"Uhm 'Tara" Sokka said. "How the HELL ARE YOU A FIRE BENDER!" he screamed in utter confusion.

"I can't believe you told him!" I told Zuko. Nobody knows that I'm a double bender.

"He needs to know 'Tara" he paused for a moment cutting me off before I could continue on with my rant. "You can't go around on a ship of fire benders and when you Water bend you have the moves of a Fire Bender. 'Tara you know that he needed to know he's your brother too."

"Oh ..."

"Katara, how are you a Fire Bender?" Sokka asked in utter confusion.

"Sokka, you've heard the tales of the double benders right?" I asked.

"Yea….." he said in dazed state. Then you could see it clicking in his head. "Ohh….."

"Yea…." I replied.

"Tara, why didn't you tell us though?" Sokka asked me.

"Only Zuko knows that I was a Firebender. Uncle doesn't know. Zuko trained me after he would go to lessons with Uncle." I said hoping Uncle wouldn't come in. Also, if news of a double bender was left, I would have been executed along with dad.

"But how can you be a master if Zuko isn't a master yet?" Aang asked in a cheery tone.

"Well, no, Zuko wasn't the only one that knew I was a bender. Lu Ten also knew I was a Fire Bender, and he started to train me after I mastered what I learned from Zuko."

"Who's Lu Ten?" Aang asked confused. "Why were you in the Fire Nation for?" he asked. Oh Agni, please let him stop. I pinched the bridge of my nose calming me down, as Zuko did the same exact thing as I did at the same time.

"Is he stupid or what?" I said to Zuko while snickering. "Or should I just have to you explain to him."

"Ok," he said shrugging.

Zuko PoV

"Aang, my mother, Lady Ursa, is the unknown princess of the Northern Water Tribe. She grew up in the Southern Water Tribe with her mother, who ran away to their sister tribe because of an arranged marriage. She fell in love with a high-ranking Fire Noble, Avatar Roku's son. My Grandfather Azulon, chose my mom to be Ozai's wife because she was the only one who was able to stand up to him which Azulon admired." I paused continuing on with the story after a minute or two.

"After my grandmother died, my grandfather took mother back to the Fire Nation. Her father taught her the Fire Nation etiquette, because all she knew was the Water Tribe royal family dialect and how to be a Water Tribe Princess. So after my mother married Ozai, she had me obviously. When 'Tara here," I said while pointing at her "was born, She and Uncle Koda would come and visit us for four months at a time because our parents grew up with each other."

"Mother taught Katara and I the old Water Tribe dialect that only the Royal family uses, and the tribe dialect that they use now. She also taught raised us both as a Fire Nation and Water Tribe Prince and Princess. We were both given self-defense classes, along with my little sister Azula. We both are Master Knife Weilders, Archers, Chi-blockers, Master Fire Benders, and Master Swordsman."

"I trained Katara. I didn't want mother and Uncle Hakoda to know. They didn't want her to become a Dao Swords Master. She begged me and I would train her after I had my lessons with Master Piando. When they were in the Fire Nation, Katara and Hakoda had to be kept a secret. We were also both taught how to cook both cuisines, and are also Master Chefs. Yes Aang, that means that Katara, Sokka, and I are all part of the Water Tribe Royal Family.

"Zuko, Katara, Sokka, and Aang, we just received news that we are nearing Kyoshi Island." Uncle said as he rushed in trying to catch his breath. He all looked at us like we were crazy.

"What?" Katara and I said in unison.

"Iroh," Aang asked "How do you tell if someone is a double bender?" he questioned. After he asked this I stared at him in shock. I told him that Uncle doesn't know about her.

"Why, young Avatar?" he questioned curiously.

Iroh PoV

Why would the young Avatar be wondering about that? "Zuko, god damn it! Why did you have to tell him that?" Katara yelled in Water Tribe dialect.

"It's not my fault that he asked Uncle! How was I supposed to know?" Zuko asked her. ""How was I to know he would ask Uncle?" he said as my eyes widened in shock. She was the last double bender. How is it possible?

"Katara," I said as calmly as I could. "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked still in a shock.

"What are you talking about Uncle?" Katara asked nervously.

"Katara you're not the only one that understands Water Tribe dialect." I said. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"I was afraid." She admitted while twirling her hair loopy. "I was afraid that if Ozai found out….." she trailed off.

"Katara, what other element do you bend other than water?" I asked with a hint of concern in my voice.

"Fire," she said as quietly as she could. My eyes widened in shock. How was she able to master it so quickly?

"Zuko and Lu Ten taught me," she said before I could ask her. "Zuko taught me all that he could since he was still taking lessons, and Lu Ten helped me master It." she said as if she were in pain.

"Katara, whats wrong?" Sokka asked.

Katara PoV

I breathed in through my nose trying not to cry. I missed all of my loved ones that lived in the Fire Nation. I miss mom. I miss dad. Hell, I even miss Lu Ten and Ursa.

"Tara, are you all right?" Zuko asked as Sokka and Aang looked at me with concern. Before they could say anything I rushed through the passages in the ship that nobody knew about. Somewhere I could have peace and quiet for a while and just think. Sometimes I just wonder how Zuko can be so freaking dense. Why did he have to tell Sokka and Aang I'm a double bender.

~Very Late That Night~

Where would Katara be at right now? I looked everywhere except one place. She always went there when she wanted to be alone. I would follow her when we were still kids, but I don't know if she knew or not. After I walked by some rooms, at the end of the hall I hear singing. I knew only one person with that voice.

Leaves from the vine, falling so slow.

Like fragile, tiny shells, Drifting in the foam.

Little soldier boy, come marching home.

Brave soldier boy, comes marching home.

Zuko PoV

Like the person I am, I just had the nerve to do something. I started clapping. She looked at me and stared at me with wide eyes. "How much did you hear?" she whispered terrified.

"Actually not that much." I said replied. "Why are you here for?" I asked her. "Why did take off earlier. I've been looking almost all afternoon for you.

"I couldn't handle not being around my family. My family that I had in the Fire Nation, and my Mother and Father. I already know that you miss Ursa, and I do too, but my mom was killed Zuko. I can't take not being around her. I need her advice." She said as she sobbed. I walked over to her and started to rub soothing circles in her lower back like mother used to do when she was upset.

Katrara PoV

"Zuko" I sobbed helplessly. "I miss them so much." As he held me, I held onto him as if I were holding onto dear life.

"Come on 'Tara, we need to eat. We've already arrived at Kyoshi Island a couple of hours ago.

My eyes widen in shock after this. We've already gotten there? They didn't attack us did they? Wait, they shouldn't attack us.

"We're already there?" I asked baffled.

"Yea…." "We need to wake up tomorrow morning, so we should eat a quick dinner. We can make it ourselves. I'm sure Ching wouldn't mind." Zuko told me. After a few minutes, we decided that we should head into the kitchen and make a small batch of sea prunes. I haven't eaten those in years. Literally." He said grinning. "Come on!"

"Ok, so do you have the ingredients?" I asked.

"Yup" he replied quickly while grinning.

"Would Uncle care if we used the kitchen?" I asked.

"Yea," "I'm sure he won't mind" Zuko replied.

"Hopefully he won't smell it. He's always loved them"

"True, true" Zuko said.


"Uncle, I didn't do anything" I replied.

"Then why are we tied around a tree?" Uncle replied.

"Well you five have some explaining to do" a man said as he walked up to us.

"And if you don't answer all of our questions, we're throwing you back in the water with the Unagi." A girl that had face paint on said.

"Show yourselves you cowards" Sokka said as Katara and I slapped our heads. What is he doing? I asked through my eyes. I don't know she replied.

"Who are you, and where are the men that ambushed us?" Sokka asked confused.

"There were no men. WE ambushed you. Now tell us, who are you and what are you doing here?"

"There's NO way a bunch of girls took us down." Sokka said.

"A bunch of girls huh?" the clad warrior said as she pulled Sokka close. "Looks like the Unagi's going to eat well tonight."

"No don't hurt him" Katara said. "My brother's just an idiot and didn't mean it. He thinks he's so full of it. He thought that I couldn't defend myself without my bending, but he got proved wrong."

"Well how did you defend yourself without bending then?" the clad warrior questioned.

"Zuko, can I tell them who we really are?" Katara whispered to me in a hushed tone.

"I'm guessing we're going to have to." I replied.

"Zuko is the banished Prince of the Fire Nation, and the long lost Prince of the Northern Water Tribe. I lived with Zuko my whole life during the summer with my father and with Zuko's mother, the unknown princess of the Northern Water Tribe. We were both given self-defense classes, we're both Master Knife Wielders, Archers, Chi-Blockers, Fire Benders, and Master Swordsman." She paused then continued. "Before you attack us for being Fire benders don't. I am also a Water bender. AND, if you attack Zuko, you're attacking my tribe's Royal family."

"We're also on our way to the North Pole so I can Master Water Bending," Aang chirped.

"Why would YOU need to Master Water bending for?" the clad warrior ask.

"Well how do we know you're not Fire Nation spies?" the leader said "We've stayed out of this war so far and we intend to keep it that way"

"This island is named after Kyoshi? I know Kyoshi," Aang said while smiling.

"HA. How could you possibly know her? Avatar Kyoshi was born here 400 years ago. She's been dead for centuries."

"I know her because I'm the Avatar."

"That's impossible. The last Avatar was an Air bender who disappeared 100 years ago," the clad warrior stated.

"That's me" Aang said grinning.

"Throw the impostor to the Unagi" the Chief replied.

"Aang" Katara and I said. "Do some air bending."

After the warriors drew closer to us, Aang flew up in the air and sat on the top of the Statue of Avatar Kyoshi. He landed slowly as the crowd watched us.

"It's true," the chief said in disbelief with his eyes open in shock.

"But why are you traveling with the Princes of the Fire Nation for?"

"Iroh, and Zuko, they've known Katara since she was born. Katara is a double bender who has mastered Fire Bending, but we both need to master Water bending. Katara and Zuko are looking For Princess Ursa of the Water Tribe, Zuko's long-lost mother." Aang replied. "I just wanted to ride the elephant koi, and continue with our travels."

~Later the Next Day~

"Guys, come on I want to take you to Omashu. My best friend Bumi lived there!"

"It's so huge!" I exclaimed.

"Me and my friend Bumi used to use the mail systems as a slide. Now come on!" Aang exclaimed.

"Hmmmmm" the Earth King said.

"Your majesty, these juveniles were arrested for vandalism and for traveling in false pretenses and for destroying cabbages. Only the King can pass town Judgment" the solider said.

"What is your judgment Sire?"

"Throw them… a Feast!" the King exclaimed.

"Yes King Bumi." The solider replied.

"Bumi?" Aang asked. "You're the King?" he said in disbelief.

"Aang, it's good to see you." Bumi cackled while hugging Aang back.

"Iroh, it's so good to see again out of the Order. But if I must, why is Prince Zuko here?"

"Princess Katara, and Prince Zuko are Aang's Fire bending and Water Bending Masters. The Young Avatar just wanted to stop by here. We are heading to the North Pole to search for Lady Ursa, and to let Aang and Katara become master Water benders."

"Then how is Princess Katara his Master then?" Bumi questioned.

"Can I tell him?" Uncle asked me seriously.

"Sure, but he has to keep it quiet and not tell anyone." I replied.

"Young Princess Katara," Uncle paused trying to figure out how to say it "Princess Katara is a Fire bending Master." Everyone stared at Bumi to see his reaction. "So there is one double bender still alive, after so many years. Iroh how is this possible?"

"I'm not entirely sure Bumi. But there isn't only one double bender. There are two still alive.

One of them is in this room at the very moment." Uncle said.

As Uncle said this, everyone's widened in shock. There are two double benders? Who is the other one, who isn't Katara.

"Uncle who?" I asked in a strained voice. "Who is the other double bender?"

"Lady Ursa. She is a master of both elements and is highly skilled. Do not blame her for not teaching either of you. She wanted to, believe me, but if they found out that Katara was even there in the palace, let alone a double bender." Uncle explained. "Both of you would have been executed."

All of our eyes widened in shock. Especially Zuko's and Sokka's. "Executed?" I sputtered still gaping at him with my mouth wide open.

"Yes" Uncle said solemnly.

"Aang, you must defeat Fire Lord Ozai before the comet. It is your duty," Bumi piped in.


A/N 2: Ok so whatya think? Well its gonna be edited BIGTIME and be a bit slower after i reedit chapters 1-4. Chapter 5 is mostly written and it seems really great but a little fast paced. Also, who do you think should be tying to capture Katara in the 'water bending scroll" or that might not even happen well. Adios, or as i would 3 to say Avoir mes amie! Bon Weekend et Joyeux Noël et bonne année.
