Please Read & Review
Chapter 98
The sun was just starting to rise as Aang and Katara were awaken by Gyatso attack them. "Mommy, Daddy... UP NOW! Go Appas!"
"Told you he was excited about the trip." Katara told the boy's father. "He wouldn't stop talking about it during his bath."
Aang got up first taking the blanket with himself as he collected new clothes for the day. Katara was left with the sheets to cover herself.
"Why are you up so early, Little One?" Katara asked.
"Go! Go! Go!" He told his Mommy.
"Ok! Ok! Ok!" She laughed. "We need to have breakfast first and Appa needs to be loaded up."
Aang got came back into the room fully clothed, he tossed the blanket back on the bed and picked up his son. "Want to help with breakfast, Little One?" He took their son out of the room so that Katara could get dressed.
"What should we make for breakfast?" He asked the little boy.
"Sweet Rice." The little boy answered.
"Sounds good, Gyatso." Aang started water in both the rice pot and the pot of water for tea. He was being summoned from one of the bedrooms, however not his bedroom. "Dadadadadadadada" echoed from Kya and Sapphire's room.
Katara was just coming out of their room as he reached the nursery door. She followed him into the room. "Good morning, my beautiful baby girl!" Katara said as she picked up Sapphire.
"Hi my pretty little girls." Aang said as he picked up Kya. "The water should be ready for rice and tea in just a few minutes."
"Ok, let me change the girls while you finish breakfast." The young woman said.
"Ok, My Love. The tea should be ready soon." He told her.
After about 10 minutes Katara joined her husband and son for breakfast with the twin girls.
"We need to get the blankets packed. We are going to need to bring the large family tent, too, with the chilly fall winds." Katara said. "Poor Appa, I know he has gotten bigger but we still ask so much of him, carrying everything and our family."
"I know, but that's why we are taking this trip. The female can carry all our stuff while we ride on Appa." The young husband told his beautiful wife.
"We go bye bye now?" The little boy asked his mommy.
"In just a little while more Gyatso." His mommy told him as she was washing the breakfast dishes. "Daddy went down to have the Air Acolyte load up Appa and get our food too. We will be ready in to go in about an hour. Go choose a few toys to bring with us, Ok.
"Ok, Mommy!" The little Airbender told her as he scurried into his bedroom.
Aang came back with a group of Air Acolytes to help bring down the rest of their packed belongings. "Is this all we need?" He asked his wife.
"Yep, that's everything. The only things missing from Appa's saddle is us." She answered her husband.
The family went down to Appa and loaded themselves into the saddle. Aang sat on Appa's head. "Goodbye!" They all called out. "Yip yip!" Aang came called out and Appa flew into the sky.
They had flown for a while, the family sat together in the saddle having lunch. In the food that had been packed by the kitchen staff, Katara had found rice balls and vegetable dumplings to have.
"We should be above land by dinner time." Aang said. "We can set up camp and find something to make for dinner."
"There is a container of Vegetable Stew and several loads of bread. I can heat it up on the camp fire." Katara said.
After a few more hours of flight, Aang found a nice big clearing for the family to rest until the next morning.
The first thing they did as soon as they landed was prepare an area for the twins. Aang bent an earthen playpen while Katara unpacked the blankets. She placed one in the playpen then they placed Kya and Sapphire inside the playpen.
"Now we need to set up camp for the night." Katara said.
"I'll go collect firewood. Will you place the tent poles into their slots? I'll finish it when I get back." Aang said to his wife. "Gyatso, want to help Daddy find firewood?"
"Yes, Daddy!" The Mini-Airbender squealed.
When Aang and Gyatso came back Katara was playing patty cake with Kya and Sapphire on a blanket on the ground. The twins smiling away as they clapped their little hands.
"Hi you two" Katara said smiling at her boys. Gyatso had arms full of twigs and Aang was caring the bigger wood for the fire. While they were gone she got the tent poles into the loops on the tent, she had gotten out a pot to heat up the vegetable stew, and dishes for them to eat out of.
Aang set up the fire, then lit it with Firebending. Kya and Sapphire's eyes stared at the flames like it was the most amazing thing they had ever seen. After Aang had the fire going he walked to their tent, he shot a large blast of air in through the door and the large tent popped right up he then used his Airbending to help spread the tarp over the top, Katara helped him quickly fasten it in place, now it was ready for their family.
Just as their dinner had being heated up, there was a bright flash in the sky followed by a loud crack of thunder. "Looks like we are eating in the tent tonight." Katara said as rain started to pour from the sky.
"Let me go make a cave for Appa, so he has a warm dry place to sleep too." Aang said to his wife.
The family ate their dinner then played with the children until the children started to yawn. "Time for bed little ones, we will be leaving early tomorrow morning." Aang told then as they kissed their children goodnight. Gyatso slept in Katara's old sleeping bag, it was folded in half providing a little cushioning to sleep on. Kya and Sapphire cuddled aginst each other in the earth pen Aang had made them inside the tent.
"We should be at Sky Bison Island by lunch time tomorrow." Aang said as he nuzzled his true love's neck. They too were laying down for the night.
"So, will we have a real bed to sleep in tomorrow night or are we going to have to set up our tent in the field there?" Katara asked him.
"There should be housing for The Avatar at all the temples around the world, or at least Lodgings near by. For when The Avatar visits the different temples around the world." He told her, then followed with a yawn.
The Rain had stopped by morning. Just as the sun was coming up, Aang and Katara were yet again woken up by Gyatso crawling on them. "Up up up... Early... go!"
"Ok, ok, ok! Aang said. "We need to eat breakfast then pack everything up."
"Eat on Appa!" The tiny Airbender said as he started to bunch up the sleeping bag he had used the night before.
"You are going to have to help daddy pack up, Kya and Sapphire need to nurse if we are waiting to eat until we are back on Appa." Katara told her son.
"Ok, I help." Gyatso said as he went around the tent collecting all the pillows and put them into a pile.
Surprisingly Gyatso did a pretty good job helping his daddy get everything ready to be loaded back on Appa. As soon as the twins were done nursing everything was all loaded up. The family climbed back onto Appa, once they were at their regular flying altitude Aang climbed into the saddle with the rest of his family and they shared fruit, sweet rolls, and tea for breakfast. Aang had made the tea himself, water from one of the many pouches of water packed with the food, and he used Firebending to heat it up.
Gyatso played with his toys while Aang and Katara helped Kya and Sapphire walk while holding their fingers as they flew towards Sky Bison Island.
Unlike everywhere else they went, a huge crowed did not greet them. Sky Bison were always landing in the huge grass field. There were a few Sages that noticed them landing, Appa's blueish arrows stood out from all the other bison's brown arrows.
The female Sage they met last time they were there came up yo greet them with a huge smile. "Hello Avatar Aang, Lady Katara, I'm so happy to see you again." She bowed to each of them. "Is this the newest Airbender?" She said Referring to Gyatso.
Aang was so proud of his children. "Not any more." He said "My daughter Sapphire is the newest Airbender now."
"Three Airbenders now! How wonderful." The sage said.
"Do you have anywhere to stay while we are here?" Katara said. "So we can unload Appa and take his saddle off of him."
"Yes, Lady Katara, we do let me get a few other Sages out here to help with everything."
The sages had Appa unloaded and saddle off within just 20 minuets, And were showing Aang and Katara and the rest of their family up to a beautiful apartment with 3 bedrooms. "Thank you very much." Aang said to them. "This is beautiful."
"If you want to join us, we will be serving lunch soon. I can make sure there are several vegetarian dishes for you and your family." A male sage told them.
"That would be great." Katara said. "We will be down shortly."
They were greeted warmly when they walked into the dinning area. "Avatar Aang Lady Katara, we are so happy you have come to our island. It is an honor to help Appa find a mate, and a second Sky Bison for your family." The head sage said. "If you need anything or have any questions please, feel free to ask."
"Actually, I do have a question for you." Aang said. "Uuummm, well... my education on Sky Bison for never reached to point of mating... I was only 12 so I was considered too young to be taught about that... Anyways how long does it usually take for them to find a mate?"
"After we finish eating we can go out and take a look at your Sky Bison, then we will see." The head bison caretaker said.
Aang, Katara, and their children were seated at a table by a window. The sages started bringing Vegetarian food, one had a roast in their hands. "No, thank you." Katara said.
"We we're under the impression that you are not a vegetarian, Lady Katara." The sage said.
"I don't eat what the rest of my family won't eat. But thank you for offering." Katara said with a smile.
Aang had never seen her turn down meat before, he had seen her not take some but never seen her turn it down. Katara must have noticed the confused look on his face because she smiled then said. "Sweetie, I have decided not to eat what you won't, it will help the children understand not to eat it if I'm not eating it either."
"I love you so much." He said to her.
"I love you, too." She simply smiled and started eating rice with stir-fried vegetables.
