Aang came up to his apartment and got out his keys to unlock the door only to find it had never been locked. He smacked his forehead. When he had left for pizza he had not bothered to lock his door thinking he would return shortly after. He opened the door carefully and peaked inside. No one was in the room and he entered fully. Thankfully he looked around to find that nothing seemed to have been stolen. Aang plopped himself on his bed and fell asleep shortly thinking happily about his new found friends.

The next morning Aang awoke feeling strangely refreshed and full of an undying energy. He bounced out of his bed and quickly changed into fresh clothes. He had to go meet Katara and Sokka for the Street Wrestling match. Maybe there would be someone there he could convince to fight alongside him? He had all but forgotten about his main mission. 'Maybe Sokka and Katara would help me find some people,' He thought suddenly realizing they had a better knowledge of the town he was stuck in. He decided to ask them when he met up with them.

Zuko pushed his uncle out of the bed. "considering you were the one who wanted to go to this match in the first place I would have thought you would be up by now." He complained. Zuko was already fully clothed. "Come on we need to catch Team Avatar's leader.

                                                                                *                     *                      *

Katara woke up when she heard the doorbell. She jumped up and quickly got dressed in her blue sundress and went to go see who was at the door.

"You guys ready for the Rumble?"Aang asked barging in when Katara answered the door.

"Heck yeah!" Sokka shouted and he ran up to the 21 year old and the two of them high-fived. Though Sokka was 26 he never acted like it. Katara thought to herself about her older brother. Sighing she grabbed the tickets as the boys rushed out the door excited to get going.

Upon arrival they got the closest seats they could find. 

"ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!?!?" the announcer asked and the crowd stared to cheer insanely loud.

"Wahoo!" Aang and Sokka yelled together and they once again high-fived. Katara just rolled her eyes boredly and grabbed her clip board out of her bag. 'Gives me a chance to catch up on some paper work' she thought to herself watching the boys jumping up and down wildly.

She heard a ding as the first match started but after that she simply tuned it all out. Several matches went by and the only thing Katara noticed was that one guy seemed to be winning the most and it seemed that was who her brother and his friend were cheering for. She would glance up everynow and again but it was always the same guy fighting someone new and she quickly became bored again.

"AND NOW THE NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT THE BOULDER VS YOUR CHAMPION: THE BLIND BANDIT!!!!!!"

The amount of noise that suddenly burst up from the crowd caused Katara to look up. 

Aang stared at the young girl who had walked onto the ring. She was beautiful, but as to what she was doing on the ring confused him.

Katara yelled out excitedly "Go Blind Bandit!!!!" As the young girl held up a championship belt.

Sokka boo'd at her "oh come off it katara she wins every year its about time someone new won!" He cupped his hands over his mouth and shouted "Go Boulder you got this!!!!"

Aang looked over at Sokka "Wait you mean that girl is the Blind Bandit?!" Sokka nodded "But she's so..."

"Small?" Sokka asked. when Aang nodded he shrugged. "Never judge someone by how they look."

"Is she actually blind or is that just her character?" he asked. Sokka just shrugged.

Aang just stared in amazement into the ring at the young girl.

And then the announcer said the words everyone in the crowd was waiting for:   

"FIGHT!"
