An airbender named Aang had gotten shot by lightning, attempted to save his people from the attack, but he had failed to do his duty as the avatar, which was to protect the world. He had gotten seriously injured during the invasion, he barely got into Appa and had made it to Republic City. He say in front of some strangers house before passing out.

He wakes up a few hours later in some stranger's house.

– Where am I?– he asks as he looks at the girl right next to him and looks around the room.

– Republic city. – says Kanna.

– What's your name? – asks Katara.

– Aang. – he tries to get up but fails his attempt. – Ow –

– Woah, slow down there! You're injured. – she says as she helps him lay back down. – By the way I'm Katara. – she extends her hand to shake and he takes it.

– Are you a water bender? – he asks and Katara nods. – You can heal me with your water bending. – he says right before he closes his eyes.

– Wait no no no no no, don't fall asleep. – she says trying to keep him awake. – How do I use my water bending to heal you? – she asks.

– Just waterbend and hover the water over my injuries. – he says right before falling into a long slumber.

...

– What happened? – said Aang as he sat up and touched his forehead.

– You woke up! – says the blue eyed girl as she walks into the room and hugs him.

– Who are you? – he asks confused as he looks at the girl.

– I'm Katara, remember? – she says hoping that he would remember when he had opened his eyes for a few moments. Aang thought for a bit a remembered.

– The last thing I remember was getting shot with fire and some lightning, ending up in republic city. Then I was here and I saw you and I told you that you were a healer. – he says.

– Yes, I didn't know I was a healer until you told me. – Katara pauses and looks at his hair. – I like your hair. – she says as she grabs a strand of his hair.

– I have hair?! – he screams out as he touches his head. – How long have a been asleep? – he asks.

– 10 weeks. – Katara replies and his eyes go wide.

– But I'm better right? – he asks and Katara nods.

– Well your head is completely healed but you got shot by lightning in your back. You also got hit by... blue fire?... in your torso... that is also pretty much healed. But the injury in your back is pretty bad. – she explains. Aang attempts to get up.

– Ugh it hurts – he says grunting as he stands up. – But not as bad as before. – Katara smiles at him. – Are there any mirrors? – Aang asks shyly.

Aang walks up to the mirror on the back of the door and looks at himself. Brown pants, no shoes on, bandages around his torso a small red scar, his grey eyes and his hair. It would take a while for Aang to adjust to the fact that he had hair. He looks at his eyes and looks into Katara's reflection who was looking at the mirror. She blushed when she realized that he had discovered her looking at him. He thought that the girl was really pretty.

No, your a monk. Stop thinking that, you can't have a girlfriend. - he thought to himself.

– I really do like your hair though. – said Katara as she looked away blushing.
