They came to the area of the temple where the skeletons were. Before they went in, Natasha said, "Aang, before we go in there, I just want to say... don't freak out, okay?"
"Why would I freak out?" Aang went into the room and gasped. "No..." he said.
Natasha took a deep breath. "I know this looks really bad right now, but-"
"But what?!" Aang shouted. "These are my people, and... I wasn't here to protect them! It's my fault!"
"Aang, please-" Katara began.
His arrow tattoos began to glow.
"Guys, step back..." Natasha backed up a little bit when Aang began to float of the ground. "Katara, Sokka, get behind something!"
They all went behind a wall while Aang entered the Avatar State.
"Aang!" Natasha shouted. "Aang, listen to me! It's not your fault! You're not the one who did this!"
"Aang, it's okay! We're your family now, we're not gonna leave you!" Katara shouted.
Aang got out of the Avatar State and sat down on his knees and wept.
"Aang..." Natasha ran up to him. "...We should get outta here. This is making my spine tingle."
"Mmr?" said the lemur, cocking his head (you didn't miss anything; he was introduced off-screen)
"It's okay," Natasha said. She scratched behind his ear.
They went back to Appa, ready to go.
"We should name the lemur... Cooper!" said Natasha, "Cooperius Turdicus Maximus!"
"Um, no," Sokka said. "I think Momo is a good name for him."
Natasha sighed. "Fine. If boring is how you roll, boring is how you roll."
They flew away on Appa. Aang watched the Southern Air Temple get farther and farther away from them, eventually disappearing behind a cloud.
Meanwhile, Momo sat in front of Natasha, as if he was begging for something.
"What?" Natasha said. "What? What do you want from me, animal?"
"Mmr."
"Look, Momo, I don't know what 'mmr' is. Can you use your words?"
"Mmr?"
Natasha sighed. "Momo, I don't know what you want, but I must say, you're very adorable."
Momo snuggled up against Natasha.
"I think he likes you," Sokka said.
She smiled. "Yeah, Momo's a little sweetheart."
"No, I didn't mean Momo! I meant Aang! I think he likes you,"
Aang turned around. "N-no!" he said.
Natasha just laughed. "Sokka, you're being ridiculous."
"I see the way you two look at each other! You're in looove..."
"Sokka, you realize how wrong that is? He's twelve and I'm sixteen! I'm, like, four years older than him!"
Sokka smirked. "Technically, Aang is 112 years old. He's older than you."
Natasha groaned. "Look, we can either stay up all night talking about this, or we can be mature and shut up."
Sokka shook his head. "I'm going to sleep. Good night."
Katara was at the reins on Appa's head. Natasha climbed up and said, "Get some sleep, Katara. I'll take it from here."
Katara yawned. "Okay."
Before she went to sleep, Katara gave Natasha a blue dress.
"You needed a change of clothes, didn't you?" she said, chuckling. "Good night."
"Night," Natasha said.
o.O.o
Natasha landed Appa on Kyoshi Island while everyone else was still asleep. She looked around, making sure no one was watching her. Then she walked around a corner and took deep breaths.
Might as well make use of it, Natasha thought. Okay, don't come on too strong, don't- She made a small funnel of wind in her hand.
This isn't too hard, Natasha thought. Suddenly, the funnel got bigger, and it blew her off her feet.
"Whoa!" Natasha cried. She landed on her back.
"Did you guys hear that?" someone said faintly.
Oh, no! They must have heard me! Natasha went back to where Appa and the others were.
"Natasha? Are you okay?" Katara asked.
"Fine," Natasha said, "got surprised."
"You didn't wet yourself again, did you?" Sokka smirked.
"No, I didn't. Thanks for your concern, Sokka." Natasha rolled her eyes.
Aang jumped. "I'm gonna ride Elephant Koi! See ya!"
"Aang!" Natasha said. She sighed as Aang ran into the water. "Be careful..." she said quietly.
Katara walked over to Natasha with a smile on her face. "Do you like Aang?"
"No!" Natasha said. "Why does everybody think I like him? He's four years younger than me!"
"I know," Katara said, "but I see the way you look at him."
"Katara," Natasha took a deep breath. "He's not even a teenager. I'm almost seventeen. I think that's a little inappropriate."
"Makes sense," Katara said.
Don't you like him? You have to fall in love with him eventually! Natasha thought. I'm ruining everything...
