((Rebecca's P.O.V))
"Wait a second; Jin Wei, Wei Jin? I know those guys!"
"Yes, yes, we're all aware of the story," The Gan Jin leader said as he ignored Aang completely and continued to hold up his sword.
"No, I mean I really knew them" Aang said as he lowered both of the two leader's swords. "I may not look it, but I'm a hundred and twelve years old. I was there a hundred years ago on the day you're talking about."
"And here is comes," I muttered under my breath as Aang began to tell his tale of the story.
"There seems to be a lot of confusion about what happened. First of all, Jin Wei and Wei Jin weren't enemies, they were brothers, twins in fact, and they were eight. And most importantly they were just playing a game. The Sacred Orb from the legend was just a ball. And the Eastern and Western Gates were the goal posts. Jin Wei had the ball and was running toward the goal when he fell and fumbled it. Wei Jin didn't steal the ball, he picked it up and started running it back toward the other goal. But he stepped out of bounds so the official put him in the penalty box, not for twenty long years but for two short minutes. There was no stealing and no putting anyone in prison, just a game."
"You're saying the Sacred Orb was actually a Sacred Ball?" The Zhang leader asked, actually believe all the lies he was saying.
"Nope, just a regular ball" Aang said as he shook his head.
"What about our tribe's Redemption Ritual?" the teen aged tribe member from the Gan Jin's side asked.
"That's what the game was called, Redemption. As soon as someone got the ball from one goal to the other everyone would yell, redemption!" Aang explained as he flung his arms into the air. "Don't get me wrong, Wei Jin was kind of a slob and Jin Wei was a little stuffy, that much is true, but they respected each others differences enough to share the same playing field." The two leaders looked at each other as they finally looked like they could come into friendly terms.
"I suppose it's time we forget the past..." the female leader said with a small smile as the elderly male leader bowed to her.
"...and look to the future." He said as he completed her sentence.
"Well not the greatest happy ending but I'll accept it," I said as I watched the two tribes walk off into the sunset as the Canyon Guide followed them, shouting something about being sick of his job.
"I agree with that," Brianna said with a small smile.
"That's some luck you knew Jin Wei and Wei Jin," Sokka said to Aang.
"You could call it luck, or you could call it lying" Aang said with a smirk across his face.
"What," Sokka said surprised.
"I made the whole thing up," Aang said admitting the truth.
"You did not," Katara said with disbelief but then changed to admiration. "That is so wrong."
"Now where's that custard tart?" Aang asked as he started looking around the area. "I'm starving!"
"You know," Katara began to say as I watched Nyoko's go back in her charm and Brianna climbed onto Appa, exhausted from all the walking. "Those guys kind of reminded me of you and Brianna."
"Why would you say that?" I asked but really wasn't that surprised with her sudden statement. "Wouldn't you say they're more like you and Sokka?"
"I guess we had some similar traits," Katara said, not completely in denial of this fact. "But they're so different just like the two of you. The only thing off was that you two were already good friends to begin with."
"Well I did find her a bit annoying when we first met," I said in a low whisper.
"Oh, what did Brianna think of you then?" Katara asked me. I let out a small chuckle as I crossed my arms.
"She said that she thought I had this cool aura around me and that she instantly wanted to be friends." I let out a small laugh as I shook my head. "Two completely different opinions."
"Well you guys are different people, but that's what makes you two special" Katara said with a shrug. To my surprise after hearing her words it reassured me and the jealous feeling I had before had lightened. It hadn't occurred to me just how bitter I felt towards Brianna. Despite the fact that I thought it was unfair for her to get such power it was something I would just have to accept. After all, it couldn't be helped and I knew that she would be devastated if I were to continue give her the cold shoulder.
"Thanks Katara," I said as I placed a hand over her shoulder "you made me realize something."
"What," Katara asked curious as to why I had a sudden change of attitude. I looked at her light blue eyes that were brought out by her tan skin as I lifted my hand off her.
"You just reminded me that Brianna and I are different," I said as I looked over at Brianna who was already in a deep sleep on top of Appa, who had long ago flew over the Great Divide to transport the sick and elderly here.
"Wasn't that obvious?" she said confused as to why I was thanking her.
"I guess it is," I said with a shrug "but if you knew what I was going though maybe then you'd understand."
"Oh okay, you're welcome I guess?" Katara said, not really following what I was saying. I let out a small chuckle as I began to walk off toward Appa.
"You know Katara," I said as I turned my body around as I began walking backwards. "I approve of you a little more now."
"Approve of what?" Katara asked me, not knowing I was referring to Aang's feelings for her.
"That's my little secret," I said as I placed my finger over my lips. I heard her let out a sigh making me chuckle again. I then stopped in my tracks which Katara noticed.
"What's wrong?" Katara asked when she got to my side.
"I don't know," I said, tilting my head to the side . "I think I heard something similar to our conversation before, like a deja' vu feeling." I continued to think but I eventually gave up as I began to climb onto Appa. "Well I don't think it's something important," I said as I helped Katara up. I suddenly heard Brianna scream in her sleep making Katara jump.
"Rebecca, you stupid idiot" Brianna said sheepishly after she let out a scream then went back to sleep.
"What was that all about?" Sokka asked as he climbed onto Appa.
"Maybe she's having a bad dream," Katara suggested. I let out a small sigh as I looked over at Brianna who was fast asleep.
"Whatever it is, she's really pissed because of me" I said looking down at Brianna's angry face. "Oh well that's nothing really new. I'll just apologize later."
This I'd have to say was one of the more boring episodes to write for which caused it to be even more difficult for me to write. I'm sorry if I disappointed some of you with these chapters but I tried to add something interesting by showing my reaction towards Brianna's new power. In some stories jealously makes the plot more interesting so I tried applying that into here to make it more entertaining to read or at least more bearable.
