Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender, or any of those characters. I DO OWN this story, and some of the other characters.

Setting: The story starts off with the Earth King saying "The Earth Kingdom has fallen" and then them flying off into the distance. Then it goes on to say how Aang learns to firebend, complete the Avatar State, gather an army, and defeat Fire Lord Ozai.

Character Pairings: Katara/Aang, Sokka/Suki

"The Earth Kingdom……has fallen" whispered the Earth King sadly as they flew away on Appa into the sunset.

Chapter One: Healing

"Sokka! Not so loud!" said Katara quietly "Aang is sleeping, and he needs his rest!"

"Fine! I'll go practice over their then!" Sokka said angerly, even though he knew Katara was right. He ran quietly over to the other side of the pond to practice his swordplay.

After the Be Sing Se had fallen, Katara, Toph, Sokka, Aang, Bosco, and the Earth King (Now known as EK) headed for a place to rest far away from Be Sing Se, knowing Azula and Zuko would not be far from chasing them. They spotted a grassy area, and decided to land there.

Katara went to join Toph, EK, and Bosco near the fire, stopping to glance at Aang on the way. When they had first landed, she has lad him down, using her waterbending to heal some of the wounds. He had gone right off to sleep then, knowing he was surounded by friends.

"How's Twinkle Toes?" asked Toph, looking at Katara.

"Wha…? Oh, fine." Katara answered "Just sleeping off the pain."

"Once he gets better, you know he has to learn to firebend. The eclipse is less than two weeks away."

"I know, but intil he's better, there is not much we can do. And we have to find a fire bender willing to teach him."

"…..You're afraid of him dying, aren't you?"

"Yes. I don't want to lose him."

"You won't."

"…..Let's get some sleep" Katara said finally, as Sokka came over to join them. "We have a long way ahead of us"

Little did any of them know that a fire bender was practicing at that very moment to teach the Avatar to firebend.


Author's Note: Yes, I know, short chapter. :p Give me a break, this is my first time. Hopefully, I will get better, and I will get some reviews.
