MASSIVEEEE TIME SKIP - SOKKAS GAME - ZUKOS POV

6:20, Sokka's game starts in 2 minutes. Toph bullied a few kids in giving up their seats for us. I feel bad but at the same time i don- Nevermind.

"This game is gonna be so short..." Katara rolls her eyes.

"Yeah well, at least we'll get a kick out of it" I reply to her.

"Everyone in the earth kingdom knows that Yu Dao sucks ass!" Toph jumps in.

"Wait isn't like, senior prom like in 1 week. Zuko, Sokkas totally gonna ask you" Katara turns to me. Now that I think of it, senior prom is next Friday..

"Well fuck it, what are we supposed to do on Friday?" Toph gets fustrated.

"No idea." Katara slurs her words. The lights dim and a bigger light showcases the court. We see both highschools walk out from wherever. I spot Sokka with a contagious grin, a really stupid contagious grin. still love him though.

"Good evening everyone! Welcome to th-" Suddenly the person talking stops. The crowd quiets down, I look over at the game who are just as confused as me. Suddenly a voice comes back on. A different one.

"Hand over the last airbender" A deep, husky voice states. (felt the aura 4 chapters away) I look over at aang, who seems mortified.

"That guys fire nation." Toph tells us all.

"How do you know?" Katara asks.

"I can feel the brand of his armor. 'Made for fire nation, Admiral Zhao" That name sounds familiar to me.

"Well we can't just stay here, I'm sure they're going to start getting violent!" Katara shrieks (quietly).

"What about Sokka?" I ask.

"Yeah what about me, what are we gonna do?" I turn around and see a slightly offended Sokka behind me leaning over. when... nevermind.

"Look we just need to get out of here before things get messy." Toph states, Aang stays silent. We have to practically drag him out of the arena, we make it over to Aangs car and start driving.

"Aang you have to get out of here!" Sokka exclaims, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Well what.. what about you guys? I cant leave you all! I cant leave katara.." Aang lowers his volume at that last part.

"Someone's got a cru-" Toph starts cooing at aang, but reads the room and quiets down.

"Aang we'll be fine." Katara puts her hand on Aangs back.

"No.. There's something about me I haven't.. I haven't told you all yet about." Aang looks down and we all go silent.

"I-.. I'm the avatar." Aang says with guilt. And for a while everyone is shocked inckuding me.

"What? Why didn't you tell us any sooner?" I ask him, trying to understand this confusing situation..

"Because I never wanted to be." Aang has obvious tears welling in his eyes. And katara pulls him into a hug.

"Oh Aang.." Katara rubs his back.

"It all makes sense now. They want me because I'm the avatar and they know that I'm going to ruin their little 'taking over the world' plan" Aang explains to us. With the war going on right now, Ba Sing Se was the safest place we could be.  "And If I'm being honest with you, I am an airbending master..." Aang says his finale and we're still mute, in shock. "The  reason I don't have tattoos is because the day before my due time for my tattoos, I found out they were going to shut my life out and make me have avatar duty's only. And take away the person I loved most, Monk Gyatso" Aang looks away "So I ran away, with my flying bison, Appa. But there was this terrible storm and I got caught in the middle of it. I was 12 at the time... 3 years later, I found myself in a factory. I had no idea what was going on, and for a while i state ein that factory for a month or 2. Then I found out what I had to do, I left. I always knew I had to do what I was born to do. Be the avatar."

When Aang is done with his story no one has an idea of what to say. "I have a plan."

°•.•°

"Uncle." I solemnly say. "I'm sorry." I can keep eye contact with him.

"What are you talking about, my nephew?"

"We will meet again uncle.. I promise." I make out, on the verge of tears as i pull him into a tight hug.

"I love you Zuko."

"I love you too."

SOKKAS POV

"What are we gonna do about dad?" Katara asks me.

"I.. Katara...You know what I'm gonna say." I reply to her.

"Yea.. well. We should at least leave a note."

AANGS POV

Racing up the stairs i contain the hot tears that dwell in my eyelids (why is bro so formal). I know what I had to do but it broke my heart thinking about it. I just wanted to be me. Aang, a goofy.. kid. Tears form there way down my cheek and I melt to the ground on my bedroom floor. I hated myself for what I did. If I was just stronger, and wasn't.. wasn't a wimp. Maybe someone else will be a better avatar than whatever i am. Maybe... I should probably just pass this job down to somebody else. And end this worlds suffering.

TOPHS POV

Yea this is really depressing. All the news taking a big load on us. (🤗) What do I need to say bye to. Rather.. who do i need to say bye to.

SOKKAS POV

"Guys I'm sorry you don't.. you don't have to do all of this. I'm fine by myself." Aang tries to insist on us leaving him but we stand strong

"Aang, you are my best friend. I'm not letting you run away from the fire nation alone. More importantly, be the avatar. Alone." I put my hand on his shoulder, reassuring him.

"We should be on our way".
