Okay, here we go! *stretching fingers*

Aang once again repeated another advanced form in fire bending. Iris had already gotten the hang of it and now it was his turn. He created fire around, shooting fire blasts with side-kicks and punches.

"More ferocious!" Zuko demanded with his hands crossed and a stern look on his face.

He's been very paranoid the last days, and Iris was intending to talk to him about it, though she hoped it was nothing too serious.

"Imagine striking through your opponent's heart!" He said again.

Aang growled "I'm trying!" he said irritated turning at Zuko and Iris who were both watching.

"Give it a rest," Iris said placing her hand on Zuko's shoulder.

But he ignored her saying "Now let me hear you roar like a tiger-dillo!"

Aang did the move turning around making a small 'roar'.

"That sounded pathetic! I said 'roar'!" Zuko said again.

Aang tried, louder this time, doing it right. He turned and looked at Zuko, to see if he approved, and both Zuko and Iris nodded.

"Who wants a nice, cool glass of watermelon juice?" Katara asked from behind.

"Ooh! Ooh! Me, me!" Aang said immediately and he tried to run towards the steps where Katara and the others were. But Zuko wrapped his shirt keeping him back.

"Hey! You're lesson's not over yet! Get back here!" Zuko exclaimed picking Aang up as if he was a rag doll and Aang stopped trying.

Iris smacked Zuko's shoulder making him leave Aang down saying "I said: give it a rest!"

Zuko looked at her apologetically "Sorry, cupcake,"

"Common, Zuko, just take a break. What's the big deal?" Suki asked.

Then Zuko left Aang go and he immediately ran towards Katara and wrapped the watermelon juice.

"Fine!" Zuko said frowning "If you wanna lounge around like a bunch of snail-sloths all day, then go ahead!" He said angrily and he stormed off.

Iris just frowned crossing her arms and she tried to ignore him.

"Maybe Zuko's right, sitting around the house had made us pretty lazy..." Sokka said and then he woke up leaving his watermelon juice on the step exclaiming excitedly "But I know just the thing to change that, BEACH PARTY!"

With one move, Sokka took off his clothes and he jumped in the sea. Everyone followed Sokka down at the shore. Katara once again started surfing on the waves, and Suki lied down on the shore. Iris helped Aang make a sand structure of Appa.

"I can't believe I'm actually doing this," Iris muttered.

"Common, it's fun!" Aang said trying to cheer her up.

"Aang, I know you're twelve and you like these stuff but... I'm nearly twenty years old," Iris said boringly helping an Appa from the sand.

"Well, you never had the chance to do these stuff in my age, here's your chance," Aang said.

Sokka was constantly walking from the sea back to the shore, carrying seaweed and water, that actually made Suki wonder what he was doing.

When the two air bending siblings finished with fixing Appa, Aang exclaimed excitedly "Check out our Appa sand-sculpture!"
