What if the avatar wasn't Aang, the lively, goofy boy, but Aangie the sweet loving girl? Would Zuko get the shock of his life when he finds himself falling in love with the last air bender? How much harder could his mission possibly get?

OC info:

Name: Aangie

Age: 15

Air nomad

More serious and mature than Aang, this will cause parts of the plots to change. She is also older and has about four more years of training and experience; therefore she has gotten further with her bending.

She has got airbender tattoos, grey eyes, natural pink lips, long brown hair wore loose. She also has a necklace with the air symbol on.

Katara and Sokka were out fishing. Sokka had managed to get Katara so mad that she had unintentionally cracked up an iceberg.

"She's alive! We have to help!" Katara exclaimed and grabbed Sokka's weapon once she saw the eyes of a figure inside the iceberg light up.

"Katara wait! Get back here! We don't know what that thing is!" Sokka exclaimed and ran after his sister. She started beating at the iceberg to get the girl out, when the ice broke and a terrible gust of wind shot out. The whole iceberg shot open and a big, powerful light shot up into the sky. The girl climbed out of the iceberg with her eyes still glowing.

"Stop!" Sokka commanded aiming his sword towards her. The girl's eyes stopped glowing and she fell. Katara lunged towards her and catched her before she smashed her head towards the ground. Sokka poked her with the bottom end of his spear still skeptical.

"Stop it!" Katara demanded. The girl slowly opened her eyes, revealing their pure, grey color.

"Who are you?" she managed.

"Eh, I'm Katara and this is my brother Sokka," Katara answered. The grey eyed girl looked over at the freaked out water tribe boy. She flew up to her feet and looked around.

"What's going on here?" she asked rubbing the back of her head in confusion.

"You tell us! How'd you get in the ice, and why aren't you frozen?" Sokka asked poking her with his spear.

"I'm not sure," she said and knocked his spear away. They all heard a loud growling and the girl crawled up into the iceberg again.

"Appa, are you alright?" she asked jumping onto a big animal, "Wake up, buddy," she said and tried to open his eyes. She tried to wake him up and all of a sudden he licked her.

"What is that thing?" Sokka asked walking over.

"That's Appa, my flying bison," she said clapping her bison.

"Right and this is Katara, my flying sister," Sokka said in disbelief. Appa sneezed at Sokka making the girl smirk.

"That's what you get when you make fun of Appa!" she said and rubbing Appa's fur. "Don't worry drama queen, it I'll wash out," she rolled her eyes at his trying-to-rub-the-snot-on-my-face-onto-the-ground freak out. "So, do you guys live around here?" she asked, and got Sokka's sword pointing at her chest.

"Don't answer that! You see that crazy bolt of light, she was probably trying to signal the fire navy," Sokka told Katara, who didn't seem to care.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure she's a spy for the fire navy, you can tell by that evil look in her eye," Katara said sarcastically and the girl gave them a slanting smile. "Yeah, Sokka's the paranoid sibling," Katara explained, "You never told us your name."

"I'm Aangie, just your average air nomad," she answered and flew up into the air before she flipped some hair behind her shoulder.

"You just flew ten feet in the air," Sokka said pointing in to the sky confused.

"You're really an air bender?" Katara asked in disbelief.

"Sure am," she smiled.

"Giant light beam, flying bison, air benders, I think I've got midnight sun madness…I'm going home to where stuff makes sense," Sokka said and turned around and realized he didn't know where he was and he had no way of getting home.

"If you guys are stuck, Appa and I can give you a lift," Aangie offered and flew up onto her bison.

"We'd love a ride, thanks!" Katara said and ran onto the bison with the help of Aangie.

"Oh no, I am not getting on that fluffy, snot monster," Sokka said as stubborn as he was.

"Are you hoping some other kind of monster will come along and give you a lift, you know, before you freeze to death?" Katara asked. Aangie snickered,

"Wow, it doesn't look like you've got much of a choice," she laughed. Sokka was about to say something, but he realized he no chance of winning this argument.

"Ok, first time flyers, hold on tight, Appa, yep, yep!" Aangie said and Appa flew up into the air. Shortly after he landed in the water though and began swimming instead. "Come on Appa, yep, yep!" Aangie tried again.

"Wow, that was truly amazing," Sokka said sarcastically. Aangie rolled her eyes,

"Oh, shut your jabber, whiner, Appa's just tired, with some rest, he'll be soaring through the sky, you'll see," she said and leant back on Appa.

"Hey," Katara hung over the edge of Appa's saddle.

"Hey Katara, what's you thinking about?" Aangie asked where she was laying on Appa's head.

"I guess I was wondering you being an air bender and all, had any idea what happened to the avatar?" Katara asked. Aangie thought for a second,

"Eh yeah, about that…it's kinda, you see, ehm, it's kind of me," Aangie umbled under her breath while scratching the back of her head.

"It's kinda what?" Katara asked confused as she couldn't pick up the rest of the words.

"it's... It's me," Aangie managed avoiding eye contact.

"Yeah right! The avatar would be hundred years or something," Katara informed.

"What no! I'm only fifteen!" Aangie protested throwing her hands up into the air.

"You're being serious?" Katara asked shocked.

"Eh, yeah, I wouldn't mess around with something like that!" Aangie answered matter of factly.

"But you've been gone for hundred years," Katara said.

"I what!?" Aangie exclaimed and shot up.

"Yeah, you have," Katara was nodding.

"But I," that's when Aangie got a vision making her remember.

"I must've been frozen in that iceberg for hundred years," she said, "I can't believe it," she sighed.

"Wow…maybe we should just get some rest until we reach the village," Katara proposed and Aangie nodded.

"Yeah, probably," she said and Katara crawled back into the saddle again.

"Aangie, Aangie, wake up!" Katara told Aangie. She shot up and realized she was in a tent. Katara pulled her outside,

"Aangie, this is the entire village, entire village Aangie," she introduced. Aangie bowed and everyone seemed to be scared.

"Eh, why are they all looking at me like that? Did Appa sneeze on me or something?" she asked and looked over her clothes.

"No one has seen an Airbender in a hundred years, we thought they were extinct, until my granddaughter and grandson found you," an old lady came forward.

"Extinct?" Aangie asked.

"Aangie, this is my grandmother," Katara introduced.

"Call me grand gran," the old women said.

"What do you mean extinct?" Aangie asked, but didn't get her answer as Sokka came over.

"What is this, a weapon?" he asked grabbing her staff, "You can't stab anything with this," he concluded.

"It's not for stabbing, but I'm sure I could stab something" Aangie pulled the staff into her hands with air suction while thinking of stabbing or well hitting Sokka with it just for demonstration, but she shok off the thought, "it's for air bending," she said and opened the staff creating a glider.

"Magic trick!"

"Do it again!" some of the kids exclaimed.

"Not magic, but air bending," Aangie smiled, "It lets me control the air currents around my glider and fly," she explained.

"You know last time I checked, humans can't fly!" Sokka said crossing his arms.

"Check again, whiner," Aangie said and flew up into the air on her glider. The villagers were amazed and Aangie landed on a pile of snow, but it collapsed underneath her legs.

"My watchtower," Sokka complained. Aangie rubbed her head,

"Well, your 'watchtower' wasn't very strong," Aangie laughed and made some wind blow the snow for his tower almost in place again.

"That was amazing!" Katara complimented.

"Great, you're an Airbender, Katara's a water bender together you can just waste time all day long," Sokka complained.

"You're a water bender?" Aangie asked excitedly.

"Well sort of, not yet," Katara answered.

"Cool, we could help each other learn! But, what do you mean extinct? The air nomads aren't extinct! Are they?" Aangie asked.

"Well, all except for you are," Katara answered.

"I don't get it, what did I miss...well except for a hundred years. Can you fill me in," Aangie asked pouting.

"Well, you see the fire nation has started a war that has already lasted a hundred years. And we thought they had wiped out your people," Katara explained.

"What? A hundred year war? Are there no more air benders?" Aangie asked before she opened her glider and flew off.

Aangie's POV

I had flown away on my glider and sat down on a pile of snow. I can't believe it. Am I seriously the last air bender? It can't be... the fire nation can't reach our temples! You have to use a flying bison! I felt a tear roll down my cheek and I dried it off. How could this have happened? I've let down the entire world; I should've been there to stop the fire nation's attacks! I've been frozen in an iceberg for a century; I didn't know anything about this war at all. How is that possible?

"Aarghh!" I screamed. I wanted to rewind the time; I could've done something to stop it! I sent an air blade at the pile of snow behind me in anger and it rumbled together. That's when I noticed a ship. I narrowed my eyes to see better, a fire navy ship, headed this way. I immediately opened my glider and flew back to the village.

"Katara! A fire navy ship is headed this way!" I yelled As I landed in front of them.

"What are you talking about?" Katara asked confused.

"I saw them, a ship, they're headed right this way!" I explained again.

"I knew it! You did signal the fire navy with that giant bolt of light you sent out earlier," Sokka accused. I was about to refuse, but it probably was my fault, they probably saw it.

"Aangie hasn't done anything, except for warning us. You should thank her Sokka!" Katara argued.

"I should thank the fire navy spy?" Sokka exclaimed. I wasn't a spy, but it was most likely my fault, man I'm so messed up!

"She's not a spy! She's the avatar!" Katara exclaimed. I widened my eyes; this is not the best time, Katara…

"What!? You're the avatar?" Sokka asked shocked. I nodded,

"Eh, well... I guess...Y-eah…I, I am," I said and looked down; it was much easier confessing it when I hadn't let the whole world down…and it wasn't that easy then either...

Nobody said anything.

"Katara, if this war and everything is as you say, they probably want to find the avatar…since there was only one ship I don't think they're here for the village and well, yeah…I need to borrow some clothes. They're looking for an air bender, not a water bender!" I said and Katara nodded.

"You're right! Come with me," she instructed and led me into a tent.

"This'll probably fit you," Katara handed me a short dress with splits, a couple of shoes and a tights. I nodded,

"Thanks," I said and took the clothes. Katara left the tent I quickly changed I was about to leave when I felt my necklace. My former air bending master Gyatso made to me once when I was upset for being the avatar. He told me I would still always be his air bending student and to never forget it. It was quite similar to the bending masters', but mine didn't have any wooden pearls, it was just the airbending pendant... I tucked the pendant with the symbol of air into my dress so the fire nation wouldn't be able to tell I was an airbender. When I came out Sokka was preparing everyone for war. I rolled my eyes, toddlers aren't supposed be at war!

"You have an extra weapon?" I asked him.

"What about your staff?" he asked me. I stuck it into the ground towards a tent,

"You mean the thing I can't stab anything with?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes,

"Alright, just because this is your fault, and you should fight!" he said and handed me a spear, good enough! Reminds me of my staff!

Sokka climbed up onto the walls around the village. I saw the fire navy ship crush the wall. Katara and I helped some kids hide. When I turned back around the ship was opening a door and fire nation soldiers came out. Sokka ran towards them, but was kicked out of the way.

"Where are you hiding him?" one of them asked. He seemed to be about my age and was leading the troop. He pulled gran gran away from Katara and held her by her hood. "He'd be about this age, master of all elements," he said. What is he talking about? I'm only fifteen and I'm a girl, is it so hard to understand. Nobody said anything. He pushed gran gran back to us and shot a half circle of fire towards us. We all backed away. Can't they just leave? I tightened my grip around the spear.

"I know you're hiding him!" he exclaimed.

"Just get out of our village! We don't know what you're talking about," I told him taking a step towards him.

"We saw a powerful beam of light, it must have been the avatar!" he said and walked over to me.

"We don't know what you're talking about!" I stated and looked away. I felt his hand lifting my chin so I could see him.

"It would be terribly sorry if something should happen to your village," he said preheating his hand with fire.

"You wouldn't," I threatened.

"Try me," he said and he was about to attack. I pushed my spear at his arm stopping his attempted attack.

"Leave the village," I said pointing my spear at him. I saw Sokka grabbing to his weapon and running at the fire bender. He dodged and Sokka flew over him, I put out the bottom end of my spear and catched Sokka, flipping him around so he would land on his feet. He threw his boomerang at the guy, but he dodged easily. Sokka was thrown a spear by a kid and ran towards the guy, I had to help him. Usually, as an air bender I base my strategy of dodging attacks, but I'm the avatar, so I'm also a water, earth and fire bender, so I must learn to attack too. The fire bender snapped the end of Sokka's spear. I aimed to run in, when I saw Sokka's boomerang returning, I'd let it hit him first! I wanted to laugh when it hit, but I held it back as it would be kinda inappropriate.

The fire bender created what looked like knives, only that they were purely made of fire; fire daggers. He went closer to Sokka and I walked forward holding my spear upright like I usually held my staff. I walked towards him and he turned his attention to me.

"What's this, you expect me to fight you?" he asked. I nodded,

"It might be harder than you think," I challenged. He waved some of the soldiers to do it instead, wimp!

One of the soldiers punched a fire beam at me. I dodged with a back handspring and saw him sending different attacks at me. I slid underneath all of his attacks and tackled him with my spear. The teenager seemed to pay a bit more attention. A bolt of fire aimed at my back. I dodged to the left and somersaulted away from another attack. I kept dodging their attacks and ended up in front of the teenager. I quickly bent down when I saw a load of fire beam's being sent at me. I looked behind me to see that he extinguished the flames. I pouted; I hoped he'd take the hit.

"Who are you?" he asked angrily.

"That's none of your business," I said and knocked him with the spear sending his helmet flying off his head. He looked annoyed and attacked with an uppercut covered in fire. I swiftly dodged and tried to tackle him, but he did an aerial over my leg. He kicked a fire stream towards me, but I bent backwards almost down into a bridge, just without my hands before I pulled up again.

"Just give me the avatar, and I'll spare your village!" he demanded and aimed at the villagers.

"You wouldn't dare," I said, but he fired. Time to blow my cover, the villagers looked away in fright, so ran over and flipped past the flame extinguishing it by spinning around my spear.

"It's you?" he asked me as I reached out my hand and my staff flew back to my hand by using air suction.

"I've been training for years to face the avatar, master of all the elements, and you're not older?" he exclaimed.

"Somebody miscalculated," I smirked readying my staff.

"Hmm, it's a shame you should happen to be the avatar, I thought you were kinda cute," he told me and got into his fighting stance. Well, it's kinda awkward that he said that because he did look kinda cute to…anyway I readied my staff.

He shot several beams of fire at me and I extinguished all of them by spinning my staff. I saw some of the villagers almost get hit by flames and realized I couldn't do this.

"Stop!" I demanded, "If I go with you, will you promise to leave everyone alone?" I asked holding my staff in front of me as saying I'm not attacking. The boy got up from his fighting stance and nodded. His soldiers took me into the ship and took my staff from me, unfair!

"Aangie, you can't just give up!" Katara ran forward.

"I'm not, I couldn't help the air nomads, so I won't let the southern water tribe down," I said and walked inside. One of the soldiers pushed my back, I would normally stun, but I held it back not to worry anyone. "Take care of Appa, until I get back!" I said and Katara and the others looked upset.

"This staff will make an excellent gift for my father," The boy, which I learned was named Zuko said holding up my staff, "I suppose you wouldn't know of fathers, being raised by monks," he said. I looked at him, before spitting at his shoes. I know, not a good choice, but if I'm right they wouldn't kill the avatar, they would only have to look for the next one, so I'm kinda safe. "Take her to the prison hold," he demanded. Two soldiers took me by my tied up hands and pushed me between them. I stunned.

"I bet none of you has ever been in a combat with an air bender before. I bet I can take you both with my hands tied behind my back," I challenged.

"Silence," one of them demanded, well, they didn't catch the bait… The front one was about to open my prison cell, when I drew my breath and blew out send me flying backwards into one of the men and the man in front of me smashing into the door. The one behind me smashed into a staircase and I jumped up on deck. I ran towards the door and 360 jump side kicked it in with an air blast. I ran in the door, I couldn't leave without my beloved staff!

"The avatar's escaped!" I heard someone yell behind me. Shoot! I didn't get much time unnoticed. I kept running, when I saw armed soldiers in front of me.

"You haven't seen my staff around have you?" I asked, they didn't say anything, so just ran past them, running on the walls and the ceiling and stuff using enhanced speed. No big deal really. "That's what I thought, but thanks anyway," I said as I ran away. I jumped up onto a new floor. A fire bender shot a fire beam towards me. I dodged by jumping over it and him, cutting the ropes tying my hands together at his spiky helmet. I kept running and looked into different rooms, until I finally found my staff. I ran over to it and heard the door shut behind me. Ooh, ran right into that one, didn't I?

"Looks like I underestimated you," I heard, and it was that Zuko guy.

"Looks like," I said and shrugged. He got into his stance and shot fire towards me. I dodged his attack, and the next ones. I kept dodging his attacks until I landed next to a fire nation flag. I wrapped it around him, grabbed my staff and turned towards him. I lifted a mattress on the floor and smashed him into a wall. He fell onto it so I smashed it towards the ceiling and ran out of there. I kept running until I finally came outside. I threw my glider and hopped on it. I was free! Well until Zuko grabbed my leg and we crashed with the deck that is… I got up and took my staff. He got into his stance, but then I heard a well known growling.

"What is that?" Zuko asked looking up at Appa.

"That my friend, well not friend exactly, is my way out of here!" I said. I immediately got a fire stream sent towards me. I rotated my staff to deflect it, and was nearly knocked over board. I kept deflecting his attacks, but a blow managed to knock my staff out of my hands. Shoot! I kept dodging his attack but I ended up on the edge of the boat. He shot a beam at metowards axe an air shield to block it, but I still lost my balance and was knocked of the boat.

End of POV

As Aangie fell deeper into the ocean Katara and Sokka's scream became louder, even Zuko ran to the edge of the boat looking for her in the water. All of a sudden Aangie's eyes and tattoos began glowing. She took water from the sides of her and spun around creating a waterspout, shooting her up to the surface. The fire benders aboard looked shocked when she landed on deck and flushed them off the boat. Shortly after she collapsed as the glowing went off.

"Are you ok?" Katara asked. Aangie slowly sat up,

"I dropped my staff," she said and Sokka ran after it.

"Got it," he said and picked it up, but in the other end a too attached fire bender was hanging on. Sokka poked him off, "Hah! That's from the water tribe!" he yelled victorious.

Some soldiers were getting on their feet again. Katara tried to freeze them, but ended up freezing Sokka to the ground instead. She turned around and this time managed to freeze the fire benders. She climbed up on Appa,

"Sokka, hurry up!" she yelled at her brother.

"I'm just a guy with a boomerang, I didn't ask for all this flying and magic he exclaimed and started beating at the ice. Aangie stood up in Appa's saddle and cracked the ice on Sokka's feet. He grabbed the staff and ran onto Appa. "Yep yep, Yep yep!" he yelled when he reached Appa's tail. Appa took his call and flew up into the air.

"Shoot them down!" Zuko commanded. Together with his uncle he shot a big fire bolt towards Appa. Aangie got up and jumped over to Appa's tail and sending a powerful air swipe towards the bolt redirecting it into a wall of ice. It created a big avalanche covering a third of the ship.

"Great news for the fire lord; the fire nation's greatest threat is a 15-year old girl," Iroh said.

"That girl just did this!" Zuko complained motioning to the avalanche.

"You kinda like her don't you, Zuko?" Iroh asked his nephew.

"What!? No, I don't!" Zuko protested, "Dig the ship out and follow them! As soon as you're done with that," Zuko commanded noticing the frozen fire benders.

"How did you do that? With the water? It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen" Katara asked amazed.

"I'm not sure, I just sort of did it, but I was in the avatar state…" Aangie answered crossing her legs.

"So, you haven't mastered all the elements yet?" Katara asked.

"No, I haven't, I just know a couple of water bending moves…" Aangie explained.

"But you have to master all the elements, water, earth then fire," Katara said.

"We could go to the North Pole… We could both find a water bending master in the northern water tribe," Aangie said.

"That would be great!" Katara exclaimed, "And Sokka, I'm sure you will get to kick some fire benders along the way."

"I'd like that, I'd really like that!" he said liking the plan.

"First, we have to drop by these places!" Aangie said pointing at a map.

"What's that?" Katara asked confused.

"You'll find out," Aangie smirked...

Ok, that's the end of that! I hope you liked it and that you will review the story!
