I know it's been a long while since I updated but there is actually a reason for that. Due to several complications, I am no longer in close relationship with Brianna. It has proven to be difficult to write the story, because certain things are effecting my writing. I am planning on just finishing Book Water and then ending the series because I don't think I can or will be even willing to write more on this topic. This isn't the first time I've felt this need to end the series, I've come across this problem many times. However, I've come to the conclusion that "one day" has now become "today."

I'm sorry I have to tell you all this especially since I've been keeping you all waiting so long. I know some may think that I am immature in telling you this, but I feel that you all had a right to know why I'm ending it so soon. Again, I am sorry. Perhaps in the future I'll begin writing Book Earth and Fire, but for now I think it's impossible.

My updates will begin more during the summer break when I have more free time. Please wait patiently til then, thank you. I'll try and at least finish this episode soon. And once again, I'm really sorry.


((Brianna's P.O.V))

"Hey, do you think Rebecca would want to see this?" Nyoko asked me while we watched Aang getting his first lesson in fire bending.

"Widen your stance," Jeong-Jeong shouted. "Wider! Bend your knees. Now, concentrate!" He paced around Aang, checking to make sure his stance was perfect. "Good, good."

"Yeah, I don't she would want to be woken up this early in the morning" I told Nyoko. It wasn't early, but it would take a good couple of hours before it she usually woke up.

"Wait, what do I do now?" Aang asked when he noticed Jeong-Jeong walking away.

"Silence," Jeong-Jeong shouted sternly. "Talking is not concentrating! Look at your friend, is she talking?" he asked as he pointed to Katara who was practicing her water bending then at Sokka who was silently fishing for his breakfast. "Even that oaf knows to concentrate on what he's doing!"

"Hey," Sokka shouted clearly offended.

"But what am I concentrating on?" Aang asked the master. Jeong-Jeong turned back and faced toward the sun as he began to explain.

"Feel the heat of the sun. It is the greatest source of fire. Yet, it is in complete balance with nature."

"So when do I get to make some fire?" Aang asked him.

"Concentrate!" the old man shouted impatiently then left. Aang slump his shoulder and let out a sigh. I heard the sound of laughing to my right from the two southern water tribe villagers. I saw Aang turn his head forward as his cheeks reddened from embarrassment.

"Aw, poor Aang" I said as I watched the scene.

"Should we go talk to him?" Nyoko asked thinking of some way that we could help him. I shook my head and threw a berry into my mouth.

"We shouldn't he needs to concentrate," I said while eating more berries and lay myself comfortably in the grass.

"Someone's rather too comfortable don't you think?" I heard a stern voice say.

"Rebecca," I said getting up. "When did you wake up?"

"Hours ago," she said walking towards the stream. "I was training."

"Why is that not surprising?" I said sarcastically. Rebecca splashed some water on her face to cool herself off.

"Maybe if actually trained I wouldn't have to so much," she grumbled.

"Hey I do train!"

"That was a week ago," she said, now getting annoyed.

"No I trained just yesterday!"

"Shooting fire at a rock isn't training," she said shaking her head disapprovingly. "If you're not going to take this serious…"

"I am!"

"Yeah sure, you defiantly are" she said rolling her eyes.

"What's the big deal? I'm already strong enough. We haven't lost a single fight." Why was she so annoyed with me? It's not like I never trained in my life! Rebecca gave a heavy sigh before walking away.

"I give up," she muttered. I waited until she was out of my sight before I talked to Nyoko.

"What the hell! She makes me sound like I never train!"

"Well you have to admit, compared to Rebecca…"

"Aang doesn't even train as much as Rebecca!"

"Yeah but he's only a kid, and besides Katara trains almost as…"

"Almost" I repeated. "See, she expects me to train all the time like her!"

((OOOO))

"Wow he looks mad," I said when I saw Aang walking down the hill side looking rather annoyed. Completely ignoring me, he walked right past me and stormed into Jeong-Jeong's hut without receiving his permission.

"Yeah well apparently breathing is boring," Nyoko said with a chuckle.

"Don't forget about squatting!" I shouted out with a small laugh. Aang came out from the hut, looking very upset with his talk with Jeong-Jeong.

"You okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah I'll be fine," he lied and walked to the steam to sit on a rock. I watched Aang sit there for a long time, thinking about what Jeong-Jeong had said to him. He slowly stated to calm down and looked like he had finally found some peace. Jeong-Jeong soon came out from the hut and was surprised to see Aang patiently sitting on the rock. "I thought about what you said. I promise I'll be more patient," Aang said to him. There was a bit of a short silence before Jeong-Jeong responded.

"We're going to work with fire now," he eventually said. Aang's head suddenly perked up and he air bended himself up in the air.

"Oh yeah!" he shouted proudly, but quickly recollected his composer. "I mean, let us begin." His little outburst didn't seem to affect Jeong-Jeong much, and he just stared at the monk with a straight face. He suddenly grabbed a leaf in the middle of the air and handed it to Aang with the center burnt.

"Concentrate on the fire. I want you to keep this flame from reaching the edges of the leaf for as long as you can." Aang let out a disappointed groan, but got into his stance and did what he was told. I then suddenly felt footsteps coming towards up. I looked up and saw a man dressed similar to Lin Yi running over here in a panic.

"Master, there is trouble" the man shouted out.

"What's going on?" Aang asked in a concerned voice.

"Concentrate on your leaf," Jeong-Jeong told him before leaving with the man.

"This is the worst fire bending instruction ever" Aang complained as Katara came into the scene. "All he does is leave me alone for hours to concentrate or breathe."

"I'm sure there's a good reason" Katara told him.

"But I'm ready to do so much more," he whined. I watched as Aang's face light up with an idea in his mind. He goes back into his stance and begins to breathe in from his nose and out from his mouth. Smoke started to rise from the leaf and before I knew it the leaf had burst into a flame. "I did it, I made fire!" Aang exclaimed happily as he held the fire in his palm.

"Aang, that's great, but you should take it slow" Katara advised him and got closer. Aang didn't listen to her and made the fire bigger almost blasting him in the face. "Careful" she yelled out worried. Aang quickly is able to regain his control of the small fire.

"Now that's fire bending" Aang said with a huge smile. Aang took a deep breath and extends his arms sending a blast of fire into the sky.

"Aang, you'll hurt yourself" Katara said getting more concerned as his tricks became more dangerous. He began throwing the flame back and forth between his hands, but that eventually got boring for him.

"Wonder how that juggler did it?" Aang asked himself and looked into the flame in his hand. He takes his left hand and brings it behind him, then pushed his arms outward sending a circle of flames forward. Katara cried out in pain as the fire came in contact with her hands.

"Katara," Aang shouted out as he leaped to her side. "I'm so sorry!" Katara continued to cry from the pain in a crouched up position.

"Katara," Sokka cried and ran to her side, kneeling beside her. "What's wrong?" He looked down at Katara's hands and saw that they were burned then glared up at Aang. "What did you do?" he asked angrily.

"It…it was an accident! I was..." Aang struggled to find his words then looked down "Katara, I'm so…" but before Aang could finish his sentence Sokka pounced on Aang sending them both to the ground.

"I told you we shouldn't mess around with this! Look what you did! You burned my sister!" Sokka yelled out angrily. Katara got up from her knees and ran away from the scene leaving all of us behind. I could still hear her cried of pain as she disappeared from our sight and ran deeper into the woods. Sokka was about to punch Aang across the face when Rebecca suddenly appeared and kicked him across the face. Before I realized it, Rebecca and Sokka were throwing punches at one another.

"Not again," Nyoko sighed while I just stared at the two of them fighting.
