Every day Katara worked on her waterbending. After camp, she would come home and practice until she was weary. Before long, she could bend an entire bowl-full of water! She was so proud of herself. Soon, she would show Daddy and make him love her again. Maybe she could practice with Bumi before she showed Daddy.

"Mommy, when's Bumi coming home?"

"Soon, honey."

But soon wasn't soon enough. She began missing her brother and wished he would come home.

One night, Kya tossed and turned in her bed because she couldn't fall asleep. She decided to go down to the beach watch the waves as they waterbended themselves. Kya snuck out of her room and down the stone path to the beach. It was a full moon, and her bending energy felt stronger than ever. As the soon as she reached the bank, she felt as though she could bend the whole ocean! Slowly, Kya naturally began pushing and pulling the waves. They grew taller and taller until they were to her waist. She lost control. She began to scream. The waves peaked over Kya's head and crashed into her. She tried to run, but it was no use. The waves took control of her, pulling her out into the ocean.

"HELP! MOMMY! HELP!" Kya screamed as she thrashed through the waves. She was carried out farther and farther. Just when Kya felt completely helpless, the lights flashed on in the house. Moments later, Daddy and Mommy came out of the house. Daddy began to light up and shot over the cliff to Kya in the water.

"Daddy! Help me!" She screamed. His eyes were lit up in a blue color, brighter than the moon itself. But Kya still couldn't breathe. The water began rising to her ears, filling her lungs with water, weighing her down further. She took one last gulp of air and sunk, farther and farther. Suddenly, she was shot up out of the water, to the point where she was floating.

"Aang! Be careful!" Mommy screamed from the shore. Slowly, Daddy's eyes dimmed. He did not glow anymore. He grabbed his daughter in his arms and floated her back to the shore. Kya began to cry, finding it hard to breathe.

"Shhhhh. Daddy's got you. Daddy's got you." Daddy stroked her hair. Kya stopped crying and curled up in his arms. Mommy began crying now and Daddy kissed her on the forehead.

"We're okay. We're okay." He said soothingly.

"I'm sorry, Mommy and Daddy." Kya hiccuped.

"Don't be sorry, sweetie." Kya wiped a tear from her eye.

"I thought I could control myself but I couldn't. The moon was too strong."

Daddy stopped stroking her hair. Mommy stared at her.

"What do you mean you couldn't control yourself?" Daddy looked angry. Kya began to cry again.

"Don't be mad at me, Daddy. I wanted to show you, but you never listened."

"Show me what, Kya?"

Kya stood up and walked over to the water. She concentrated hard on the waves, breathing steadily. She began pushing and pulling the water so they waves got bigger. Just before they got too big, she let them go.

"Kya! OH MY GOSH, KYA!" Mommy cried, rushing over to her daughter.

"You're a waterbender! Just like your mother and I." Daddy said quietly, staring with pride.

"I know. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, honey! We're so proud of you! Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Daddy looked happy.

Kya looked back at the waves, pouting. "You've been so busy with Baby Tenzin lately, I didn't think you cared about me anymore."

Daddy and Mommy looked at each other sadly.

"When you were born, Bumi thought the same thing. He was so mad at us because all of our attention was on the new baby; you!" Mommy explained.

"But we told him what we'll tell you. Just because we're focusing on the new baby right now, doesn't mean we don't love you anymore. When you're that little, you need more attention and care. Babies can't do everything for themselves." Daddy said.

"I want to show you more waterbending, but I'm not good. I need more practice."

"You know, I know someone who's really, really good at waterbending." Daddy smiled.

"Really?"

"And they can teach you all about it."

"Really?!"

"In fact, they even taught me!"

"Really?! WHO?!"

"Your mother." Daddy looked at Mommy. Mommy's face got all red. Then she smiled.

"Of course I'll teach you, honey!"

Kya bounced around excitedly on her feet.

"We'll start tomorrow."
