Hiya everyone! Just to let you know, I am in college so my updates may be sporadic but I'll try to get them all at least three Microsoft Word 3 1/2 pages long or longer which generally comes out at about 1.5k words. I'll shut up now so that you all can read!

Disclaimer: I asked my parents to get me Avatar for the new month... they didn't have enough money to buy it off of James Cameron... And so I am still stuck writing Fanfiction until I can gain ownership!

I follow him like a fwampop looking for food around the kelutral. It must annoy him but he never says anything, hoping I'll leave on my own. I won't. He's safe to be around and he will protect me if I need it. Tsu'tey always protects me.

He looks back at me as I giggle and trail behind him before he continues on his way to see his Ikran, Swizaw. It's not hard to tell that he loves riding almost as he loves to shoot his tsko swizaw. Sad, knowing I can't follow him, I start climbing higher up in the bows so that maybe I could see him as he flies.

I startle as I feel an arm wrap around my waist and pick me up over their shoulder. It's Tsu'tey, carrying me over to his Ikran. The closer we get, the more my excitement builds. The only other time I'd ever been on an Ikran was that day I feel and Tsu'tey saved me from becoming a food wrap at the base of kelutral. I tried to sit up more on his shoulder only to be tossed up onto Swizaw's back. Before I could fall off, Tsu'tey hopped up behind me and grabbed my waist to steady me while connecting his queue with one of Swizaw's antennae.

As Swizaw prepared to take off, my stomach tightened with nervousness. What if I fell again? I was sure that Tsu'tey would catch me again, but what if he missed? He only just got his Ikran a season – being the youngest ever to claim one – and wasn't that experienced yet. My thoughts just increased my nervousness until Swizaw jumped off the branch in a steep dive that made me squeal in fear and I felt Tsu'tey's arm tighten around my miniscule waist. My eyes close tightly as the ground approaches faster and faster.

Suddenly, I felt Swizaw pull up from the dive as I clutched desperately at his neck. I didn't open my eyes until Tsu'tey nudged me to do so. What I saw made me glad I did. We were flying above the forests around the kelutral, making giant ovals and rustling the leaves. I couldn't help but laugh with amazement. Who knew there were so many trees in the forest?

I look behind me at Tsu'tey and his eyes show the same excitement that mine do. I'm still looking at him when something unknown flashes through his eyes and we're diving back down into the forest. Turning back around, I take my first real look of the forest away from kelutral. It's not that I never came this way before, it's more that I was busy doing other things to pay attention but now, flying through the forest at mind blowing speeds, it takes my breath away.

We do not return to Kelutral until the tsawke is already touching the ground once more casting many colors that can only be seen during these times across the clouds. As Swizaw circles the kelutral searching for a free place to land, my eyes stay on the pinks, purples, and oranges of the setting sky.

"Thank you for letting me come with you, Tsu'tey," I chirp happily once we're standing once more in the bows of the kelutral. I'd never imagined flying would be so fun and it made me eager to get my own Ikran. That way I wouldn't have to rely on whenever Tsu'tey is willing to bring me with him.

He stares down at me for a moment before grunting and walking away towards the entrance to the inner columns. My stomach grumbles and I trail behind him once more, taking the children's path instead of the adults because I'm not yet able to jump successfully between the braches like Tsu'tey does. I wonder if I'll ever be as graceful and sure footed as he is. He's barely five seasons older than me but he's already better than most of the adults; it wasn't fair but I couldn't fault him for it. He worked harder than all other Na'vi to become the best he could be which is why he's received the honor to be mated to Sylwanin and become the next Olo'eyktan.

Once I reach the base of Kelutral where everyone's gathered to eat, I see Tsu'tey sitting with Eytukan, Mo'at, and Sylwanin. My stomach twists as he sits there laughing with Sylwanin and I'm overcome with envy. Why couldn't it have been me?

My eyes slowly open as my alarm clock goes off. I loathe that incessant beeping with all of being – but then again, who doesn't? I'm irritated that I couldn't see more of the dreams that I'd come to enjoy more than my time awake. I'm curious about the girl whose name I have yet to learn and her culture.

Looking at the still blaring clock, I see that I have barely twenty five minutes to get ready to walk to school. It would be barely enough time to take a quick shower and get dressed before finding my homework and rushing out the door. My hand reaches up and punches the off button a little more harshly than is appropriate for the insignificantly annoying piece of machinery and I sit up to stare at the wall across from my bed.

In the last couple weeks since my dreams started, they've become cluttered with diagrams of the Alpha Centauri System, pictures of the planet Polyphemus, and, most importantly, pictures and articles on its moon, Pandora, and the aliens that inhabit it. In the center of the cluttered mess was a giant printout of one of the aliens, the Na'vi.

He was standing next to what was probably a human and, in comparison, he was a giant; the human was barely more than half his height. He had blue elf-like ears that had gages and large, yellow eyes that reminded me of a cat. If he'd had human proportions, he would've been diagnosed as anorexic because of his too thin waist but because of the muscle definition it seemed normal, natural. He only had four fingers and toes but I found most surprising was the tail with a small tuft of fine black hair at the tip. He was a most beautiful specimen.

Despite what most people would, and do, think, I did not keep this picture because I was interested as a species – even though on some level that was true. No, I kept the picture because he was one of the people that were in my dreams. Given that he wasn't one of the Na'vi the girl from my dreams actively hung out with, she was way too interested in the future leader, but she still interacted with him upon occasion. He was a hunter and he could barely carve his bow when he was given his branch from the kelutral.

"Tara, if you don't hurry up you'll be late for school," my fathers head pokes through the curtains of my door. When he see's what I'm looking at, I see him shake his head from the corner of my vision before coming in and sitting down next to me. "Why are you so into them? Most children your age would find more interest in boys and makeup, but you're interested in giant, blue aliens. Not that I'm not glad you're not interested in boys, but why? What makes these aliens special?"

"The girl," I reply quietly. I feel his body tense next to me. He does not like the dreams and they scare him. Not only that, but every time they were brought up my step-mother made a big fuss over it claiming tat they weren't real and making both of our lives miserable. I point at the picture as I face him. "She knows him. Not very well but they talk sometimes. He's a hunter."

He sighs before looking at my clock. "Go take a shower before you're late. We'll talk about this tonight before your step-mother gets home."

"Yes, Papa," I get up and am part way out my door when he catches my arm and pulls me into a hug. "I need to take a shower…"

"I love you, Tara," his voice is muffled by my hair. "No matter what you do, or what you dream, you're still my daughter and I will love you no matter what."

"…I know."

He lets me go and backs up a bit to let me go. "I know you know, but when you call me Papa, it makes me feel like I kicked a puppy."

"Dad, you're ridiculous," I laugh and he joins in after a moment.

"Go get in the shower, little star," he smiles down at me and swats me towards out meager bathroom. "If you want to see you aliens in real life, you need to make it to school on time."

Those words were all I needed to hear before I bolted for the bathroom to take the quickest shower in my life.

So for names I got some feedback (give a giant shout out to clumsycupid and Sonya-Valentine!) and I chose the three names out of those that I liked best for you all to choose from! I'm going to need her name for the next chapter so please give me your input cuz I like all three equally!

And the names are:

Tanhì (meaning 'Star')
