NOTE: This is a sequal to Avatar: Aang's Hope, and takes place about six months after Aang's leukemia is declared gone. So the ages would be about - Aang: 13, Katara: 15, Sokka: 17. Sorry, if this story doesn't make much sense, you may want to go to my stories and read Aang's Hope, and then it should make sense. I hope. Hehe...

Ch1

Aang smiled as he slipped a new light blue shirt on. Finally, the first day of school.

Most kids would be sad that summer was over, but not Aang. The now-thirteen year old boy was glad to be going back to school again, this time for real, hopefully. The summer break had been hectic -but fun-. Katara had convinced him to join the town swim team, to join her in her Tai Chi classes, and to start up Ba Gua once more. Aang was extremely happy about the last part. Although he was more against fighting, he loved practicing Ba Gua forms, and know he'd be able to get through a fight a lot easier than he would've before.

The boy slipped on his brown converse shoes over his socks and ran down stairs, big orange backpack on his shoulders. He flung it onto the living room couch and walked into the kitchen, sitting at the counter. Aang breathed in the smell of Katara's cooking - pancakes along with bacon and eggs, though Aang, being a vegetarian, tried to only focus on the pancakes. The smell of meat and eggs made him a little sick to the stomach.

The smile remained on his face as Katara joined him, the eggs and bacon sizzling. "Mornin'," she said, fluffing up his soft hair and kissing him on the cheek. Aang blushed just the slightest bit. He and Katara had been dating for about five months now, and were very close. The strange, but pretty good thing about their relationship, was that they were so close together, living in the same house and all, that they could easily switch from girlfriend/boyfriend to sister/brother when they needed to. This was especially good because they also lived with Sokka, who sometimes found it awkward that his little sister and so-called brother were dating.

"G'morning!" Aang said happily, returning the kiss.

"You're awfully happy this morning," Katara stated.

"Yep!"

Katara giggled. Never in her life had she seen anyone so happy to have summer be over and be going back to school. After a minute or so, she stood up reluctantly and turned off the stove, announcing, "Breakfast's ready!"

Sokka, who was now seventeen, was downstairs in a flash at these words. Plate in hand, he was served his breakfast by Katara, and then sat down next to Aang, digging in. After Aang was given some pancakes drenched in blueberry syrup, Katara joined the two, and they all ate. Aang finished breakfast in a flash, as did Sokka, and Katara finished pretty quickly. Appa and Momo, Aang's two dogs, also ate their own breakfast. Appa was almost fully, grown, and Momo was still tiny. Both were as cute as always. They were put outside once they were finished, and the kids were off.

The ride from the house to the school wasn't a very long one. As they approached the building, Aang's smile slowly faded, and he stopped walking. Katara noticed his expression, and stopped next to him. "What is- ...oh," she said, looking up to see Zuko in front of the doors.

Cliffy-like, thing!

Yep, I'm totally starting another multi-chapter story! Yay!

And it's even a sequal! Yay!

And it's weird! Yay!

So, this story is basically going to go through the school year. There's probably going to be quite a bit of drama and all that good crap, plus Toph and some other peeps maybe! But definately Toph.

Pairings will be Kataang, Yukka, Sukka, and maybe some TOPHWANTSTaang or Tokka, not quite sure, though.

NOTES:

-Aang's all excited, then he's like, oh shnap! Poor kid.

-Hehe, Kataang fluff!

-They eat fast.

-Yay for Appa and Momo! They'll probably be in this story A LOT more than in Aang's Hope

-Shortness!

Let me know if I should keep this story title, or change it. If you have any ideas, shoot for it!

Please review, it helps me a lot more than you think. O.o
