Sokka was the first to react. "First of all, WHAT! Second of all, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! It was YOU this whole time?! Wait... this is a joke, isn't it?"
Natasha created a small funnel of wind in her hand, proving him wrong.
"Why didn't you tell us?!" Katara exclaimed, "Aang's been trying to find that person for a long time and... IT WAS YOU!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!" Aang yelled, "WHY-"
Out of nowhere, Natasha screamed at the top of her lungs. Everyone shut up and stared at her.
"First-" Natasha said, her voice weak. "Great! Thanks! Now I have no voice!" Natasha screamed in a whisper. "First, we need to find Appa. Then, we need to go to wherever we're supposed to go."
"First you need to explain yourself," Katara said.
"Hello! No voice!" Natasha coughed.
Aang sighed. "We'll talk later. I'll go search for Appa," Aang left the group on his Airbending staff.
"Aang!" Katara yelled.
"He'll come back," Natasha whispered.
o.O.o
"Look!" Sokka ran to a cactus and sliced a piece off. He started drinking from the sliced cactus. "There's water trapped inside these!"
"I don't know," Katara said.
"Suit yourself. It's very thirst quenching, though!"
Suddenly, Sokka went crazy. "DRINK CACTUS JUICE! IT'LL QUENCH YA! NOTHING'S QUENCHIER! IT'S THE QUENCHIEST!"
"Okay, I think you've had enough," Katara said, taking the water filled plant from him. "Natasha! Drop that cactus before-!"
"TOO LATE!" Natasha laughed hysterically, rolling around in the sand.
"Can I get some of that cactus?" Toph said.
"No! We need to find Aang!" Katara said.
"WE SHOULD ALL RIDE A HIPPO DOWN THE LAZY RIVER WHILE SINGING CHRISTMAS CAROLS! AAH!" Natasha jumped up high using Airbending.
"Who lit Toph on fire?" Sokka said, pointing at Toph.
"Let's go!" Katara said.
o.O.o
Not being able to find Appa, Aang said "No!" in frustration. The sand around him turned into a dust swirl.
"What is that?" Katara said, seeing Aang's dust swirl from afar.
"What? What is what?" Toph asked.
"IT'S A GIANT MUSHROOM!" Sokka said, "MAYBE IT'S FRIENDLY!"
"FRIENDLY MUSHROOM FRIENDLY MUSHROOM FRIENDLY MUSHROOM FRIENDLY-" Natasha did backflips, using Airbending to make them seem faster.
"Natasha, knock it off!" Katara said, grabbing her foot and making her fall over.
"OW! MY EPIDERMIS!"
"Let's just keep moving. I hope Aang's okay." Katara said.
o.O.o
Night was approaching, and everyone was tired.
"Aang," Natasha said, wrapping her arms around his neck, "I just want you to know that I love you, and, and, I broke my epidermis. Bye." Natasha fell on her face into the sand.
"Ha ha ha ha! Ha!" Sokka was burying Momo in the sand.
"Sokka..." Natasha crawled over to him, "Give me a kiss,"
Without hesitation, Sokka turned around and kissed Natasha on the lips. "Okay, bye," Natasha fell asleep.
o.O.o
"Okay, I think my head is starting to clear out the cactus juice," Natasha said when they climbed onto the rock.
"About time," Aang said, "Now can you explain everything?"
"I'm gonna try," Natasha took a deep breath and said everything very quickly. "At the Southern Air Temple I sneezed and I flew ten feet in the air and it turned out I was an Airbender then at Kyoshi Island I was all like 'woosh' and I blew Zuko off his feet and at the North Pole I beat the flying lemurs out of Zuko and Toph has magical powers and figured out I could Airbend so yep."
"But why didn't you tell us?"
"I don't know, okay!" Natasha yelled.
"And look!" Sokka ate a piece of sap off the cave wall. "Ew, ew, ew!"
"Sokka, you've been hallucinating on cactus juice all day, then you just eat sap off a wall!" Katara said.
"I need to sneeze," Natasha said, covering her nose.
"Then sneeze," Toph said.
"You don't understand. If I sneeze, I'll fly."
"Well-"
"ACHOO!" Natasha sneezed and sure enough, she flew about ten feet in the air and landed on her butt on the way down. "See? Flying!"
"How exactly did you keep that from us for so long?" Sokka said.
"Don't put as much force into your sneezes," Aang said, "Usually the force causes you to Airbend unintentionally-"
"Should I start calling you 'Sifu Aang'?" Natasha laughed. "I'm sorry... the cactus juice is-"
"Get out of the way!" Aang Airbent Natasha out of the way of Sokka swinging his sword.
"Sokka! There's nothing there!" Katara yelled as her brother swung at the imaginary bee.
Natasha couldn't help but laugh.
o.O.o
At Full Moon Bay, they met up with Suki and began to head toward Serpent's Pass. At nighttime on the pass, Natasha sat against a rock wall and tried to sleep.
"Hey,"
Natasha opened her eyes. "Hey, Aang,"
He sat down next to her.
"So," Natasha said, "How are you doing?"
"Alright, I guess," Aang said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Look," Natasha said, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier-"
"Don't worry about it," Aang said.
"The thing is," Natasha said, looking at Aang, "I don't know how I ended up from a hundred years ago, to now. I just remember... falling. Like I had been trapped in a cloud for a hundred years somehow. When I met you at the Southern Water Tribe, the last thing I rembered was waking up. I forgot about my Airbending and everything... that's why I didn't come right out at the South Pole..."
Aang thought for a moment. "But you scared yourself at the Southern Air Temple by-"
"Yep," Natasha chuckled.
"Why didn't you tell me then?"
"I tried, Aang, I really did, but I couldn't get the words to come out of my mouth. I... I'm sorry..."
Aang gave Natasha a hug. "Don't worry about it, okay? It wasn't your fault. Get some sleep, okay?"
"Okay," Natasha said. Aang got up and walked away, and Natasha fell asleep like Aang had said.
