A/N: Hey, Sonny Bunny here! ;) I'm just uploading some of my old works...well they're not that old but I wrote them before I ever had a fanfic account, I just kept forgetting to post them! Yep, ATLA was the first fandom I wrote for! I'm also known as NoaangFan and FateBender on Avatar forums. I first posted this on Kataang Forever :) Just trying to get all my works together. Hope you guys enjoy this! I'll be posting the other parts to this story.
DC: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender
Sokka got up from the ground with dirt smudged on random parts of his face. He went to help this sister off the ground. Katara brushed the soil off her clothes and then noticed Aang lying face down on the ground, unconscious. She rushed to his side, kneeling before him, shaking his shoulder.
"Aang! Aang, are you okay?" she cried out as she tried to wake him.
Aang coughed, creating a puff of dust. He continued coughing as the dirt particles entered his mouth. Katara helped him into a kneeling position, while she gentle nudged his back. Aang's coughing began to slow down; he looked at Katara and Sokka with shame in his eyes.
"I'm sorry guys," he said weakly, as he hung his head.
"Hey, it wasn't your fault you went into the Avatar State," said Sokka. "It's that idiot Fong's fault! Speaking of Fong, where is that idiot?" He said looking around at their surroundings.
"What...what happened?" said Aang looking at Katara. "Last thing I remember Fong, he...he," Aang blinked his eyes trying to hold back tears,"...buried you."
"I was trying to reach you to calm you down, then Sokka came up behind me trying to get pass the vortex of wind also," said Katara. "And the next thing I know, we're waking up here."
"Um...guys?" Sokka said, his voice sounding unsure.
Katara looked up at her brother from the ground. "What is it Sokka?"
"Is it just me or does this not look like the Earth Kingdom base at all?" Sokka said.
Katara's eyes darted back and forth as she looked at their surroundings. "This place looks like the Earth Kingdom, but it isn't the base. Where...where are we?"
The gang got up and started walking around this strange new vast area of great structures made of earth. A group of people ran pass them laughing and smiling, then they came upon a clearing where they saw what looked to be a pile of fire nation military tanks stacked up on one another; kids were nearby kicking a ball back and forth using their earthbending.
"Well, this place seems...different," said Sokka.
"They seem so...happy," Katara whispered in disbelief.
Sokka shouted out at a man passing by humming. "Hey Sir! We're lost, can you tell us where we are?"
"Where are you?" said the man. "Why you're in Ba Sing Se!"
Aang and Katara gasped. "BA SAY WHAT?" Sokka choked out.
"Ba Sing Se," repeated the man, then his eyes widened upon looking at Aang. "Why...you're Avatar Aang!"
Aang nervously looked down. "Um...yeah."
"Please, let me thank you for ending this war and defeating the fire lord," said the man. "The joy you have brought us all, I could never thank you enough!"
Aang's head jerked up, his eyes bulging out. "I...WHAT?"
Katara stood in front of Aang, glaring at the man. "Don't make fun of him! He's trying the best he can to learn all the elements! He will end the war!"
The man's eyes squinted in confusion. "Make fun of?" he said. "I don't know what I said wrong, but truly thank you Avatar Aang," he said before walking off.
Katara crossed her arms and huffed. "Jerk."
"I don't know," said Sokka rubbing his chin," that guy almost sounded...genuine."
Katara rolled her eyes. "Sokka, that's impossible. Everyone knows the war is still going on."
"Unless," said Sokka his eyes gradually getting wider," this is the future."
"Sokka, have you been drinking ocean water?" said Katara.
"What...what do you mean?" said Aang feebly, feeling weak and crushed from the whole ordeal.
"Think about it! We wake up in Ba Sing Se having no idea how we got there. Then there's a guy thanking Aang for ending the war and everybody's happy around here! We were near Aang when he was in the Avatar State! The Avatar can travel to the spirit world," said Sokka making wild hand gestures," then who is to say he can't travel across timelines!"
"Avatar Roku never said anything about that," said Aang.
Sokka shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe it's a new development, evolution of the Avatar."
"This is all ridiculous," said Katara.
"I'll prove it!" exclaimed Sokka, then he walked up to one of the kids playing ball. "Hey kid, you might know me, Sokka friend of Avatar Aang."
The kid's eyes popped out in wonderment. "Of course I know who you are!"
Sokka smirked in Katara's direction. "I thought you would. I bet you even know where I'm staying at."
"Of course, everyone knows Avatar Aang and his friends are staying in a place above the Jasmine Dragon."
"And where might that be?" asked Sokka.
"Straight ahead, the upper ring, it's a huge green tea house," answered the kid.
Sokka patted the kid's head. "That's a good fan, now go play with your ball."
Sokka walked back to where Aang and Katara were standing, then he got up in Katara's face, and with one deep breath. "HA!"
"That still doesn't prove anything!" retorted Katara.
Aang, Katara, and Sokka crouched together behind a bush, peeking over and gapping at what they saw before them; a boy clothed in air nomad robes wearing an air nomad necklace around his neck. His airbender tattoos peeked through his sleeves as he leaned farther into the terrace's railing.
Aang blinded several times as he tried to fight back the overwhelming urge to faint. "Is...is that me?" he whispered flabbergasted as he hunched next to Katara.
"Does that prove anything?" Sokka whispered loudly.
Katara's astonished expression quickly turned into a scowl as she shoved Sokka, which in turn caused them all to topple forward making a loud thump, gathering the boy's attention to them. The boy clothed in air nomad robes stood gapping at them, stunned to his core.
Sokka looked at the boy in his upside-down view. "Um...what's up...um...Aang?"
Please review! I hope you have a Sonny day...filled with much Kataang!
