The Otter Penguins waddled around trying desperately to escape the clutches of the bald kid who just suddenly arrived and trying to ride one of them. It was here Katara found Aang chasing around the peaceful animals who were just going about their day on their penguin business. Seeing these creatures brought back memories to Katara from her once happy childhood. She could hear the phantom giggles of her sister, the same giggles she used to hear when they played. How often her sister would play and dance with the penguins. They were her favorite animal.

She remembered how they often played among these snowy fields, running around and among the penguins. "You no get me Katawa. You no get me." She would often mock her sister. However it was always easy to catch her. She always hid amongst the penguins.

"Ha. I got you." She would cheer as she tackled down her sister and they would both fall into the snow. They would just sit there and laugh. Two little girls laugh and throwing snow at each other without a care in the world.

Once happy memories that now only filled her with sorrow. She wanted to quickly find Aang and leave not wanting those memories to surface anymore. "Aang!" She called out.

She heard the boys laugh threw the crowd of penguins and soon spotted the boy giving chase to a couple. "Hey come on little guy. Wanna go sledding?" he said and then leapt forward trying to catch one. The penguin was to quick however and managed to escape before Aang could catch it and he just fell in the snow. He got back up laughing as Katara arrived. "I have a way with animals." He said and started imitating their squawk and waddle. She couldn't help but laugh at the boys cheery and light-hearted demeanor. She managed to smile and laugh but it quickly vanished at the memory of her. She used to do the same thing. She would waddle around and squawk like the penguins, sometimes claiming that she was a penguin in disguise and that she was just spying on the water tribe so that her penguin family could raid the village for fish, and then ultimately demolish their government and install a Penguin Monarchy with her as the Supreme-Penguin-Chancellor-Supreme. That always made everyone laugh.

As she was reminiscing in the past Aang was being dragged around by a penguin while he held onto the stubborn animals tail. Not wanting to give up Aang stood back up and sought to find another potential victim, when he spotted one of the animals in distress. "Hey Katara." He called, pointing out the animals in question. Katara looked up seeing the penguin with red dye smeared on its chest harassing the other penguin with blue dye on her face.

"Hey!" Katara called out the to the penguin in question. "Leave her alone Fire Nation, shoo!" She called as she ran toward them and trying to get the animal to go away. "Shoo Fire Nation. Get out of here!" After her second warning, the culprit finally retreated away and jumped into the water. Katara stayed by the victim penguin as it sat there not minding about anything that just happened. "Hey there Water Tribe." She said not having seen the penguin in years. They were usually her sisters favorite. She stopped visiting after her disappearance.

"Fire Nation? Water Tribe?" Aang asked as he approached, with innocent curiosity.

"Yeah. Thats what she named them." Katara replied feeling the sorrow in her heart grow larger. As Water Tribe waddled away, Katara saw where she once stood was a small bush with snow flowers. She bent down and picked a flower in memory. She used to love picking flowers.

"She?" Aang asked.

"My twin sister. Lori." Katara answered.

"Oh. I didn't know you had a twin sister. Where is she? I'd love to meet her." Aang said with such innocence and optimism. She gave a sad smile, she thinks the two of them would've become great friends, had she got to meet him.

"Lori... was taken. Ten years ago. She's dead." She saw the happy expression on his face quickly turn to sadness. It almost hurt more seeing him so sad. She pulled the flower close to her heart feelign the painful memory resurface. "We didn't even know. The Fire Nation came and took her away. It was our fourth birthday." She shared with tears building in her eyes.

Aang walked up and hugged the girl wanting to console her after sharing something so painful. "I'm so sorry Katara. I didn't know."

For the first time in a long time she cried. Katara wrapped her arms around her friend and buried her face into his shoulder. She let the tears fall, as she relived the day her father came home without her other half and broke the news that completely shattered her world. She prayed to the spirits day and night, prayed that she could see her sister again.
