A/N: Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you for over 100 votes! I'm practically squealing! This is beyond awesome! This chapter is going to be very long due to the majority wanting more Kataang moments, and I don't want to make things feel too rushed. But yeah, it's gonna be a bit rushed. So I just wanted to let you know that this will be a much longer chapter and to hold on to your seats. Another heads up: the POV will be changing a lot. So please pay attention. Thank you for reading, and enjoy the chapter. Also, this may be a tiny bit hard to follow. Sorry in advance.

Aang's POV:

Today, I would have to clean up my room that I had created into a disaster zone two days ago. Apparently, the night Katara and Toph came over, I had fallen asleep for an entire 33 hours. In my room, there wasn't even a path from the door to the bed, for goodness sakes! Before anything, I wanted to know if Gyatso thought going to school today was a good idea. I got out of bed, still drained from the day before yesterday, and made my way to the kitchen. There Gyatso was content and reading the newspaper in his seat at the kitchen table. 

"Good morning, Gyatso," I said. "Good morning. Did you have a good rest?" 

"Yes, I did. I want some advice from you." 

"Alright, ask away," he said, putting down his newspaper and focusing his attention on me. 

"Do you think it would be a good idea for me to go back to school today?" I asked. 

"I think you should stay at home today. I think you need a bit more time to reflect and clean up. And maybe, if you're up to it, you can try to contact Avatar Roku," Gyatso proposed.

I nodded and thanked him. I then proceeded to go back upstairs and changed out of my pajamas and changed into loungewear. I would rarely eat breakfast before meditating, but I wanted to get a move on in my day. While I was eating, I made sure to let Katara and Toph know that I would not be coming to school today. I wanted to let them know that I was okay and needed more time to reflect. When I finished my breakfast, I went outside and fed Appa and Momo. Appa seemed like he needed a good brushing, so I added it to my to-do list for today. After they were both fed, I went upstairs to begin cleaning my disarrayed room.

I stood at my door, looking at the chaos that was my room. I usually always had it moderately neat, so to see my room at this state was confusing. I didn't know where to start. What should I tackle first? I stepped back. If I was already cleaning my room, I wondered if I should also rearrange my room. I felt like it needed a change from before. Maybe a different layout? The first thing I did when I stepped back into my room was to make my bed. I had heard that making your bed was the first step in making your room look cleaner. It wasn't much better than before, but it was a start. I then picked up all the clothes off the floor and placed them on the bed. Once they had completely covered the bed, I started to refold them. Maybe another change I could make was to rearrange my closet and drawers. I took out the hangers from my closet and began to hang my shirts, shorts, pants, fancy dress-wear, and sweatshirts in the closet. Before the wreckage, my sweatshirts and shorts were folded up in the drawers. When all my clothes were either hung or and folded, I placed all the items that were from my desk onto my bed. I started to arrange them by category and put them back to where they previously belonged. Soon enough, my room returned to its neat state. Now it was time to rearrange. I planned to move my bed under the window and to move my stage cubes where my bed was now. I was going to keep my desk where it was now because it was fine the way it was. I pulled the storage cubes from their place and moved them beside my bed. 

Gyatso stood by the door and startled me by questioning, "What's going on up here? You're rearranging your room?" 

I jumped a bit, laughed it off, and said, "I am. Can you help me move my bed under the window?"
