Forward In Time

Chapter Seven

"Come on we're going to miss it!" Bolin exclaimed as he, Mako, and Asami ran to wear the Gaang was.

"Slow down Bolin!" Mako said trying to keep up with his little brother.

"Slow down? How many chances are we going to get to see Avatar Aang train with his friends?" Bolin replied

"Uh... well he's dead..." Asami said

"Exactly! Korra and the kids are already there so pick up the pace!"

The three friends made it to a clearing through some trees. They stood on top of a hill over looking a large circled stone. Carved in the stone was the symbols of the four elements. Korra sat near the edge with Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo.

"Did we miss anything?" Bolin asked as he sat next to Korra.

"Nope. They're just getting ready." Korra replied as Mako and Asami sat down.

Down below, Sokka made Aang a makeshift blind fold so he can practise his seismic sense.

"Here you go buddy." Sokka said as he handed Aang the red blindfold.

"Thanks Sokka." Aang said as he took the blindfold. He slipped his shirt off and took his shoes off, "Let's get started."

Aang moved to stand at the center of the circle stone while the others, besides Sokka who hid somewhere for safety, stood on the outside of the stone.

Katara pulled water from the ocean, Toph got in a fighting stance, and Zuko created balls of fire as Aang tied the blindfold around his eyes.

Tenzin, Bumi and Kya appeared on the hill, "Have they started yet?" Kya asked as the three siblings sat down.

"They're just about to!" Jinora replied

"We haven't watched dad practice in forever." Bumi said, "And even then it was when he was by himself."

"Don't hold back." Aang said to his friends. Toph attacked him with a ball of rock from the ground. Aang sensed the movement using his seismic sense and broke the rock, sending the pieces away from the group.

Zuko and Katara attacked him at the same time. Aang sensed the movement and heard both the water and the fire. He redirected the water to put out the fire and sent the water back to the ocean.

All throughout the training, Aang's movements were smooth as he easily deflected the attacks. The audience above watched in awe.

"Wow... he moves so easily." Korra said, "Wish they'd traveled back in time when were dealing with Amon or Unalaq."

"Definitely would've been easier." Asami agreed.

When the Gaang took a quick breather, Sokka jumped out from his hiding place, "SNEAK ATTACK!" He exclaimed running towards Aang.

Aang used water to knock his friend down earning a laugh from their audience,  "Sokka, I told you before. Sneak attacks don't work if you shout them."

Katara smirked as she got an idea, "Sneak attack!"

Aang turned to tell her the same thing, but was stopped when her lips pressed against his. Ikki and Meelo made sounds of disgust.

"I remember when that would gross us out as kids." Bumi said

"Yeah, but seeing them be affectionate as teenagers is cute." Kya added

"They're so romantic." Jinora said as she watched them with her head resting in her hands.

"OOGIES!" Sokka exclaimed which made Katara splash him with water.
