Alright, here is chapter 2. Like I said, I'm still working on trying to develop a more consistent publishing schedule.

Sapphire-Blue14: Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it! :)

Anyway, on with the story. Remember, any advice or comments, feel free to let me know! They really help me a lot!

Soon, the family was situated comfortably in Hakoda's hut. A warm fire burned in the corner of the old-fashioned hut, with a pot of sea prunes cooking over it.

"Who's hungry?" her grandfather asked cheerfully.

"I am, I am! What're we eating?" Bumi stared into the pot hungrily. His smile quickly fell away when he saw the contents. "Sea prunes?"

"Yep." Hakoda smiled happily. "Old family recipe."

When she saw her brother open his mouth to complain, Kya kicked the back of his knee. A grunt from behind her told her her father had been about to complain as well.

"Ow!" Bumi whispered, turning to glare at her.

"It sounds delicious, Grandpa." She said, smiling sweetly.

"Yes, yes it does." Her mother said. Then, through clenched teeth, "Right, Aang?"

A soft whimper came from the Avatar. "Absolutely."

Hakoda smiled and dished up food for his family. When Kya received her bowl, she wasted no time and dug in, her mother and little brother right behind her. Her father and older brother, however, picked at theirs, occasionally taking a bite to satisfy Katara.

When they were done eating, they settled around the fire to talk for a while. Kya sat next to her grandfather, and he put his arm around her.

The adults talked about Republic City for a while, then the talk turned to their individual training.

"So, Bumi, your mother says you've been training with your uncle. How is that going for you?"

Bumi grinned, puffing his chest out slightly. "Great! Uncle Sokka says I'm almost good enough I can enter into some of the tournaments."

"Maybe." Katara added.

Hakoda smiled at his grandson proudly. "It certainly sounds like you inherited the Water Tribe Warrior gene, Bumi." He turned to Tenzin. "And how about you, Tenzin?"

Tenzin looked at his grandfather then looked down shyly. Aang smiled at his son's shyness and spoke for him.

"He's done very well; very dedicated."

"Yes." Katara nodded. "He trains almost nonstop. A bit too much, in my opinion." She shot an accusing glare at her husband. He held his hands up in defense.

"Hey, a lot of that he does by his own will!"

Hakoda chuckled at their bickering, and looked down at Kya. "And what about you? How's your waterbending coming along?"

Kya grinned. "Great. Mom's a great teacher."

"I would hope so! She did train the Avatar, after all!"

They all laughed.

"Kya's a natural, it won't be long until she'll reach the status of Master."

"Very good! I'm so proud of all of you."

Katara took the following silence as an opportunity to send the three siblings to bed.

"Mom, we're not little kids anymore!" Bumi whined. Aang, Kya, and Tenzin all groaned as the familiar battle began.

"Little kids or not, you still need your sleep! Do we need to have this discussion every night?!"

Kya, sensing the danger, and being short on patience herself, promptly grabbed Bumi and hauled him over to their beds, Tenzin following. They said goodnight to their parents, and Hakoda came and sat down by her bed.

"Hey, how about tomorrow after the meeting, you, your mom, and I go for a little walk around the village?"

Kya smiled. "Sure, Grandpa, that sounds nice."

He reached down and playfully rumpled her hair. "I've been wanting to spend time with my special girls." It was no secret that he had a particular soft spot for both Katara and Kya. "Besides, a lot of people have been asking about you."

"Really?" Kya asked in surprise.

"Oh, yeah. I might've...erm...mentioned you a few times."

Kya rolled her eyes playfully.

"Well, goodnight, Kiddo."

Kya yawned and snuggled down under her blanket.

"'Night, Grandpa."
