School was just as brutal as the day before. Which is why I was pretty happy when I got back to Air Temple Island to start packing to visit my home. Asami, Kuvira, Bolin and Mako would be on the island in a while to join us on the boat. Excited to finally escape my newly created hellhole I still had to call home, I ran to my room the second my feet hit the ground. I used my airbending to open the door before I reached it and practically slid in, ignoring the protests of my chest and shoulder. I winced inwardly as I dropped to my knees and pulled my suitcase out from under my bed. I'd had it for years, since I first moved there. I blew away the dust that had collected on the top and coughed, fanning it away from my face.

I unzipped it and opened it up, gazing inside at the empty lining. When I grew out of my old clothes, they were thrown away which eventually turned it into a hollow bag. My from growing wider, I bounded to my feet and went for my dressers, grabbing my sweater, my underclothes and wraps, and pajamas. We were going to stay for a couple of nights. I placed the clothes haphazardly into my suitcase, not bothering to fold them since there wasn't a lot, and zipped it closed. My ears twitched at the sound of footsteps approaching and my door slid open.

"Glad to see you're already packed." Tenzin said, a smile in his voice.

I looked up at him, returning the smile. "Of course! I haven't seen my parents since I was injured. I can't wait to see them again in less depressing matters." I remembered how hard it was for my mother to leave me when she saw me all bandaged up in my bed. I knew she would've stayed if my father had let her.

"I'm sure they're just as happy to see you as well." Tenzin said.

I stood up, brushing my hands together to rid the dust from them. "How long has it been since you've been to a Glacier Spirits Festival?"

"A while." he said. "When I was Councilman, I couldn't find the time to visit. If I didn't come and get you when you were twelve, it would've been much longer."

"Well, I'm sure the kids will enjoy themselves." I said. "I know how much I miss it."

Tenzin gave me another smile before disappearing to assist Pema in packing their kids' suitcases. Pema would be staying behind to keep an eye on the island, with Lin dropping in now and then to help with Rohan, the youngest of the Airbenders. She wasn't happy about it, but she couldn't just leave Pema alone on the island, especially since she wasn't a bender.

I went outside to Naga's stall and let her out. She tucked her head over my shoulder and I hugged her back, laughing. "Hey, girl." I said. I gently pulled her head back to stare at her as I scratched her head. "Ready to go home?"

She barked a reply as the rumbling of a boat neared the docks. I looked behind me and saw that it was my friends, Asami the driver, Mako and Kuvira sitting, and Bolin standing up in a position that much resembled a pirate. I laughed to myself as the pulled up beside the boardwalk, Bolin bounding off the boat.

"I heard there was going to be fried foods!" he said, and all of us burst out laughing.
