Chapter 1

A/N Hello im sarah-finn im the new author. I am not changing any of Auzden's original chapters I am just updating the ones already up and then making my own chapters to finish the story. I do not own ATLA and this is not my original story to begin with. Enjoy(:

Aang walked back into Uncle Iroh's apartment where the whole Avatar gang is now staying. Aang had been getting the fire nation back together with the help of Fire lord Zuko. They had a job to get rid of rouge fire nation rebels and rebuilding the burned down homes. The problem was there were a lot of rouge fire nation rebels and burned down homes. Also a lot of broken families, broken hearts. It had been a long day for Aang.

He walked in, "It is so good to be home again."

"Aang!", Katara came rushing in the room

"Hey twinkle toes, long time no see", said Toph walking in.

"Hi every one" he looked at Katara, "Hi Katara" he said with stars in his eyes.

Later that night the Katara, Suki, Aang, Toph, Iroh, and Sokka had dinner. Iroh had made roast chicken but Aang just ate a salad and some vanilla pudding. After dinner Aang caught Katara on the back deck looking into Ba Sing Se.

"It sure is beautiful at night" Aang walked up to Katara.

"Yes it is" she replied.

Aang leaned towards her to go in for a kiss, but Katara leaned away with a strange look on her face.

"Whats wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing Aang" she said. He could hear the confusion in her voice.

"Katara" he said monotone.

"Aang I need to talk to you" a tear flowed from her cheek.

Aang already did not like this at all.

"You have been gone a long time ok? You must understand things do change fast."

"Katara what are you telling me?"

"Aang I cant live like this anymore, loving some one who is the most important person in the world and hope he will live the next day and come home every night."

Another tear appeared on Aangs face. " Katara why I don't understand"

"No you don't understand, you left and I can never do anything about it"

"Katara I am the Avatar! Im sorry but it is my job to save lives!"

"I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE OK? Sorry Aang I cant do this"

"So this is what I get, my homecoming present"

Aang leaped off the balcony with his glider. He was flying to the fire nation to Zuko's palace. It was always better there. Aang was exhausted of his work and his life. Later that night he arrived and landed on Zuko's large palace deck Zuko walked out to him

"Aang what are you doing here you just left?" he asked

"Please Zuko I don't want to be back with all those people right now even if they are my friends, it's a long story but please" Aang said

"Aang you can stay here as long as you want"

"Thank you Zuko what would I do with out you?"

"Well we can go back to old days and I can chase you and try to blast you"

"That's ok" Aang chuckled, "Im going to get to bed I will see you in the morning."

"Goodnight Aang"

The two had become great friends. Best friends to be exact. They would do anything for each other and they both knew it.

Aang crawled into his bed with his yellow air monk pagamas. He drifted into a deep sleep.

"Why would Katara not love me? I have done nothing but good. Why? Maybe if I go back to talk again… NO she already told me she does not love me. All I can do Is cry and wish I wasn't avatar and this was some one else's but I already know how that will turn out."

Suddenly Aang felt a strong pain in his chest and it was excruciating.

"AHHHHHH" he screamed in agony.

He realized he had been shot by lightning. He looked down and saw Azula's face with that evil look on it. She may have been beautiful but she is evil.

"Aang I am so sorry" she said in tears. "Please forgive me I will beg for your forgiveness for forever if I have to" she said still balling.

Aang was confused. More confused then ever

Azula looked up again with tears still in her eyes and streaming down her cheeks.

"Aang I love-"

Aang let out a gasp as he woke up from his dream and he was sweating. It was morning about 8:30. And because of his dream there was only one thing on his mind, the beautiful fire princess. Aang knew the avatars didn't have dreams like this for no reason. He knew she was held in the high security prison on the island separate from the main city. He had to find answers; he needed to see Azula and he had no idea why. It was like Aang had ropes on him and Azula was pulling them full force towards her. He made the final decision to go visit her later that day and nothing was going to stop him, not even himself.
