That morning I woke up to my father scolding Aonung, as usual. "Why do I have to teach them?"
"Because you are a role model!"
Aonung stormed out of the room as I got up and yawned as I walked outside. Rotxo stopped me as I walked out the entrance, "What's up with him?" He asked me. "Honestly, I have no idea. It's like that almost every morning." Rotxo was not too bad of a person. I think the only reason he is so rude is because of my brother constantly influencing him.

I catch up to Aonung, who is still in his bad mood. "Hey, what was that back there?" I say with frustration. Aonung stopped walking along the shore and turned to look at me, he sighed. "Why am I the role model? I don't want to constantly be with those shxangs!" I look at him, completely over his shit. "Are you kidding me? When will you get it through that hollow skull of yours that they are no different than us?"
He stares into my eyes, clearly upset at me. Aonung storms away from me. I stand there and watch him walk away, there was no point in persuading him.

I run up to the Sully Marui pod and peek inside. They all looked like they had just woken up. "Greetings Mr and Mrs Sully, may I borrow Lo'ak for a bit?"
The both nod at me while Lo'ak happily rushes to get ready, he runs out of the Marui pod to me. Neytiri smiles at the sight of her son being so happy.
After the incident yesterday of Lo'ak catching my fall, I honestly didn't know how to feel, was that a special moment. "So, what are we going out so early for?" He spoke up, breaking my thoughts. I just smile and grab his hand, running into the water. "I will be teaching you how to ride and ilu." I say. Lo'ak looks at me with a blank stare. "Really? Riding those?" I laugh at his response as I call over an ilu. "Yes! If you are going to live here then you have to learn." Lo'ak sighs with a laugh and swim toward me and the ilu. "Okay, I want you to gently make the bond"
He nods and pulls his hair over his shoulder to connect the bond. I guide his hand to the handle. "You have to hold onto this handle tightly, or else you will fly off of the ilu"
He seemed very calm as he breathed in and out, he was very soothing. Lo'ak took a deep breath in as the ilu dive under the water. He was doing great until his grip was lost. The ilu swam back over to me as Lo'ak swam back over. "Hey, don't stress. You just have to get used to the water pressure.

We had practiced for hours, he was so determined to get it right. And of course...he don't get it. But he will eventually.

Lo'ak POV:
I was walking along the shore as I saw Aonung teasing Kiri. He was pulling her tail and calling her a freak! How sick could he be to do that? I had to step in, "Hey! Back off fish lips." Yeah, maybe that wasn't the best choice of words. Aonung looked at me, laughing in my face, "oh look, another four fingered freak." He said, as Rotxo grabbed my tail and yanked it, saying "look at his little baby tail!" I told them not to touch me, shoving them in the chest. "Leave us alone!" Kiri shouted. Then all of a sudden Neteyam came, it's always him isn't it? "You heard what she said, leave them alone. Back. Off." Neteyam said, sticking his finger in Aonungs face, trying to put him in his place. Aonung backed away agreeing to respect Kiri. Although, I'm pretty sure that was a shitty lie. I started walking away from them with Kiri and Neteyam. Until I just had enough, I turned to look at Aonung and his little group of bullies. "Lo'ak." Neteyam Said worriedly. "Cmon, I got this bro." Knowing what I was about to do next. I walked up to Aonung, his face already filled me with rage. "I know this hand is funny, look I'm a freak. But I can do something really cool. Watch, first I ball it up real tight like this, ok, then.."

WHAM. I punched Aonung across the face, three times to be exact, knocking him to the ground. "It's called a punch bitch!" I yelled. "Don't you ever touch my sister again." I said, until I realized that he had gotten up. He tackled me to the ground. Pulling my tail, hitting my face. Neteyam knew that he couldn't just stand and watch. I expected him to break the fight. But instead, he joined in. Punching and throwing them to the ground.

Y/n's POV:

Tsireya and I were having a relaxed walk along the shore. Not really having a conversation, just admiring the beauty of Eywa around us. Well, until we heard yelling from afar. We sprinted over to find Aonung and his friends having a fist fight with the Sully brothers. Kiri was just laughing as they were practically breaking their faces. Tsireya and I stepped in and dragged them away. Once we finally separated them, then we could talk. "Okay. Who is going to tell what happened?" Tsireya asked. And of course, Aonung AND Lo'ak both tried to tell their two completely different stories. I told Lo'ak to explain first. I could tell that Aonung was bothered by it, but that's what he gets.

"Are you kidding me!? What is wrong with you?" I say, getting up in Aonungs face. I slapped him across his bloody head. Noticing that he was speechless and didn't have anymore words to say, I grabbed Lo'ak and Neteyam by their ears and dragged them back to their Marui pod where their father was.

I explained to Jake what had happened and threw the boys inside their pod, leaving their father to deal with them. Lo'ak gave me a guilty look as I walked away. But I secretly stood there, listening to their conversation.
"What was the one thing I asked? The one thing!" Their father scolded.
"Stay out of trouble" replied Lo'ak.
"Correct, stay out of trouble!" He says frustrated. Neteyam suddenly steps forward to his father. "It was my fault." He calmly encourages. "No you have to stop taking blame for this!" Jake says to his oldest son. "Look dad, Aonung was picking on Kiri, called her a freak." Explained Lo'ak. Jake suddenly started to calm down and became a bit more understanding of the situation. "...go apologize to Aonung, he is the chiefs son you understand? I don't care how you do it, just go" Jake sighs as Lo'ak walks out of the pod. I don't hear anything for a moment, til I see Lo'ak come out of the pod, spotting me.

"You were listening in werent you?"
