The years passed by and Katara and Aang had two more children. Twins actually, a girl named Aimi and another boy named Isamu who had turned two last year. Taji had just turned six and he loved his baby siblings, most of the time. It was the twins first Easter and Aang and Katara had decided to carry on the tradition that had been started when they were kids by taking them to the same church where they met. They all dressed in their best clothes and loaded into their van before heading to the church.
"Can I go hunt for eggs?" Taji pleaded as they arrived at the church.
"Sure, but stay close by," Katara told her son sternly as she and Aang took care of the twins.
"Yes ma'am," he said before running off.
Taji took off running to pick up the colorful plastic eggs. As he picked up as many eggs as he could he ran right smack into someone. Taji quickly stood up and offered a hand to the person he ran into only to find that is was a girl his age.
"I-I'm sorry," he stuttered.
"It's alright," she said as she took his hand and let her pull him up before brushing herself off.
"I'm Taji," he said suddenly with a smile.
"Natsumi," she replied and smiled back.
"I've never seen you before at school, are you new here?" Taji asked.
"Yeah, I just moved her with my aunt and uncle," she said, looking to her feet.
"What about your parents?" He asked.
"They're gone ," she said sadly.
"Oh," he replied. Taji knew what they meant since he had faced the death of his grandfather a year before so he knew exactly what to say. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright," she said softly.
"Hey, do you want to get some ice cream?" Taji asked. "My mom and dad always take me every year after we come here."
"Sure," Natsumi replied with a bright smile.
Taji smiled back, grabbing the girl's arm and running to his parents. The couple is a little startled at the sudden appearance of their sun and the young girl.
"What's wrong Taji?" Katara asked immediately.
"Nothing, I was just wondering if we could go get some ice cream," he said with a smile.
"Well, aren't you going to introduce us to your friend first," Aang said with a smile as he and Katara crouched down to their level.
"Oh, this is Natsumi," Taji said, gesturing to the quiet girl beside him.
"Hello," she said shyly.
"It's nice to meet you Natsumi," Katara said. "I think we should talk to Natsumi's parents before we take her with us to get ice cream. I'm sure they must be worried about you."
"Oh, I lost my parents. I live with my aunt and uncle," Natsumi said sadly. "Would you like to meet them."
"Sure," Aang said with a smile.
As Natsumi ran off Taji stared after her and his parents gave each other a knowing smile.
"Like father like son," Katara said to Aang with a smile.
"I guess so," Aang replied and gave Katara a chaste kiss.
That afternoon Taji and Natsumi played together and ate their ice cream as Katara and Aang talked with her aunt and uncle, knowing that this was just the beginning. So the tradition carries on…

I know it was short, but I thought that was just the perfect way to end this. Aimi means love, affection, beautiful; Isamu means courage, bravery; Natsumi means summer beautiful. Those names are actually from another story I was going to write, but didn't so I decided not to let the names go to waste and used them here. : )
I hope you like it. Review please!
