A shrill scream pierced the calm air, the octaves echoing off the walls and bouncing back.

 Aang was the first to stand and run, hoping to find Asha (She was the one who screamed) before whatever it was hurt her. He could feel the fear and shock coursing through her and did not like it. The others were quickly behind him, the same worry on their face, however it was diminished as they turned a corner.  Aang quickly being tackled by his girlfriend, the girl latching to his neck as he struggles to remain balanced. 

"Make them go away!"  The girl whines, clutching her eyes tightly.  The boy furrows a brow as Raiko quickly bursts out in laughter. He seems to be the only one that gets why she's so upset, the other four looking to each other.  That is, until they hear a small quack. Asha lets out another screech, clutching Aang tighter if possible. as she tries to get onto his shoulders

Looking over Asha, Aang bites down a chuckle at the four turtle ducklings below Asha, awaiting her to come down.  

"I see you made some friends there, Ash." Sokka snorts, using his hand to cover his mouth; laughter threatening to spill out. 

"It's not funny!" Asha shrieks, looking down momentarily at the ducks. The quack happily at the attention, Asha only sticking her tongue out childishly. 

"Are you sure?" Raiko is now wiping tears from his eyes, crouching down to shoo the ducks. 

"That may not work, I think they may have imprinted on her." Zuko crouches beside Raiko, a smile playing at his features as he holds a hand to a duck; the duckling nuzzling into it momentarily.   

With a small chuckle, Aang sets down his girlfriend slowly, the girl hesitant to put her feet down. "I think your over reacting just a little- Ash?" Aang only watches as the ducks take to charging Asha, the girl running quickly. Bending a large column, she sits at the top, leaning over, watching as the ducks jump at her.  

The group watches as she sits back, only to be thrown backwards and off the column, the ducklings taking flight to get to their 'mother'. 

She gently pushes them away, getting up and running again with a scream of, "I'm not ready to be a mother!" 

Behind her the group burst out laughing, yes, even Zuko, and watch as they continue chasing the poor girl. 

"You know what this means, twinkle toes." Toph nudges Aang, both calming down from their laughing fit. This abruptly stops him as he makes the connection, grabbing onto Toph with sparkling eyes and a bright smile. 

"I'm a dad!"

Night had befallen on the group, Asha eventually succumbing to the ducklings, allowing them to run and crawl over her and Aang, the girl taking refuge in the smiling air bender. He had been more than happy to let the ducklings roam over him.  However, as of right now, everyone and everything was fast asleep (Zulu staying far away from the ducklings, being the salty raptor she is, she hid in Gumi's wings).  

Something however, wakes Aang as he rubs an eye. Looking down, he smiles at the sight of Asha, four ducklings tucked under her arm, between their chests.  He then scans the room, becoming fully awake as he jumps up, startling Asha awake, twirling his glider as he deflects a projectile launched at them.  It hits a cliff, exploding and awaking everyone else up as well. 

"Seriously, again?!" Asha whines, taking position, the ducklings at her feet. She groans fairly loudly and picks them up, placing them in Appa's saddle, and then burrito blanketing them so they can't escape. It works, their heads peaking out, just as the ceiling begins to crumble and shake, throwing Asha off the saddle.
