Avatar the last airbender: Kyoshi's descendant

Chapter 9

We were on the beach, as  Aang was in the middle of practicing fire-bending. Zuko watches him with his arms crossed.

"More ferocious!" ordered Zuko, "Imagine striking through your opponent's heart!"

Aang growls, placing his hands on his head and turns to Zuko. "I'm trying."

"Now let me hear you roar like a tigerdillo!" 

Aang turns around, and gives a light roar as fire bursts come out of his hands and mouth.

"That sounded pathetic! I said roar!"

Aang roars even louder, as three bursts of fire come out of his hands and mouth. Momo runs and hides behind Zuko's leg in fear. Zuko nods approvingly.

"Who wants a nice cool glass of watermelon juice!" asked Katara.

"And some freshly baked sticky buns?"  I added as Katara holds up some watermelons while I hold some buns straight out the oven. 

"Ooh, ooh! Me, me, me!" Aang chirped and run over to up, Zuko however grabs Aang by the shirt of his robes. 

"Your lesson's not over yet! Get back here!"

"Come on, Zuko. Just take a break. What's the big deal?" Suki said lounging next to Sokka. 

"Fine!" Zuko said letting Aang go, Aang happily runs off and takes a watermelon. "f you want to lounge around like a bunch of snail sloths all day, then go ahead!" he said bluntly, and walks away. 

"Maybe Zuko's right. Sitting around the house has made us pretty lazy." Sokka said as he lays down his watermelon.  "But I know just the thing to change all that." He takes off his robe, revealing a bathing suit, " Beach party!"

He jumps into the water, and surfaces with seaweed on his head and he blows water from his mouth. Katara, Tariqq, and I uses waterbending to create an ice surfboards and surf on the on water. It was exhilarating, feeling the water through my hands and showing off some moves with my brother and friend. Suddenly we heard a blast, nearly making my lose my balance. We quickly made our way to the sure, only to find Sokka in the sand, and Suki beside him. 

"What happened?" Katara asked, "Zuko's gone crazy! I made a sand sculpture of Suki and he destroyed it!....... Oh, and he's attacking Aang."

Katara and I looked at each other, and try to catch them. Hoping to find some explanation as to why. Before we entered the back door, we heard a loud boom coming from the western side of the house. We quickly hurried to find Zuko dropping down from a tree, and Aang airbending from the house.

" What's wrong with you? You could have hurt Aang!" Katara said. 

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with all of you? How can you sit around having beach parties when Sozin's Comet is only three days away?"

We all stared at him, "Why are you all looking at me like I'm crazy?" he asked. 

"About Sozin's Comet ... I was actually gonna wait to fight the Fire Lord until after it came."

"After?"

"I'm not ready. I need more time to master firebending."

"And frankly, your earthbending could still use some work too."  Chimed in Toph.

"So, you all knew Aang was going to wait?" Zuko asked.

"Well, I had some concerns myself, but yeah pretty much." I said.

"Actually, I just came here so I really confused." Tariqq  joined, Suki nudges his shoulder.

"Honestly, if Aang tries to fight the Fire Lord now, he's going to lose.  No offense." Sokka said.
