Book 9: Refreshed Air [Action/Video]
[Action]
[This morning, Aang did not wake up in his bed. No, he woke up some ways outside of the village, with an old friend. It took soe time for Aang and Suki to come to grips, but eventually the facts became clear. Suki had come back to Luceti without memories. At the same time, Aang had spent an overnight trip home. He lived out several days at home, where he saw the Yu Dao conflict through to its end and founded the air acolytes.
And now he was back. In Luceti. He knew who Ikki was again. One of the first things he did upon realizing what happened was scribbling a journal message for everyone at home - assuring them he was still around. It might be hard to tell he was gone if anyone was awake that early. After all, he didn't have many possessions, and his room was shared with Roku who was keeping a more irregular sleeping schedule during the draft. The only visible evidence would be the absence of the prayer beads which he had given to Ikki.
So Aang spent most of the morning helping Suki to adjust, hoping that her memories of her previous stay would be awakened. He wasn't really so familiar to people returning without memories. But eventually they parted ways so that Suki could be reunited with Sokka. Once he saw that only a night had passed during his absence, he had guessed that he might have been the only one to go home. The others might still be there. The same as he left them. So he headed to House 56 to check in with everyone next and give the physical proof of his presence. He came fully clothed in his air nomad robes, wielding a set of prayer beads that were notably missing a Fire Nation emblem.
Once all the bases are touched, Aang tries to go about his daily schedule as usual, probably being late for school and skipping out on the Welcome Center to instead explore the forest. Now that he remembers, he looks around carefully for any sign of Moro's presence.]

[And this video message is recorded before dinner, when he stops back at the house between forest treks.]
Hey, everyone. It's me, Aang. This place is really weird sometimes. I used to think when people went home, they stayed home, at least for a long time. But sometimes people have been gone for just a few weeks, and me... I was just gone for one night. I doubt anyone noticed, but I'm still sorry if I worried anyone. And my friend Suki came back too. Really unpredictable, right?
Still, some of you might be pleased to know that at home, only a few days passed, but things are really turning out for the better. Things are even more at peace, and I feel more connected with my people than ever. I hope everyone's having a great autumn, while it lasts.

...Hey, can I ask you something?
action;
action;
Did I...was I going back to see my parents? After everything was done?
action;
Toph, I... I don't know. I didn't think to ask. [A pause. He swallows. How could he be so thoughtless?] I'm sorry.
action;
...Oh. It's okay. Not like you knew to ask so you could come back here to tell me.

I dunno. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. [Again.]

I guess that doesn't really matter, anyway. We can remember, so we just have to do what we can while we're here.
action;
Yeah. You're right, Toph. We'll do our best for each other and find a way back home. I mean... going home back then, it's helping me believe... maybe we really can do it for good, eventually. Maybe we won't have to live our lives here after all.

[She sure sounds convincing. Even if her heart isn't quite in it.
She didn't want to forget. But she didn't want to talk about that right now.]
A-anyway, how about some soda? I bet you're starving for some.
action;
You're right, Toph. [With a cheeky grin.] It's like I haven't had any in a week!

[He fumbles but ultimately manages to grasp the soda in his hands. And it doesn't explode in his face for once!]
