Book 12: Solid Foundations [Video/Action]
[Back home, Aang wasn't really one to pay much attention to individual dates of the month, aside from eventually looking out for his friend's birthdays and stuff, although he could barely remember his own. But in Luceti, it was a lot easier to keep track of time. After all, he could see what day it is right on the journal. It was a near part of every morning to check out what today's date was. Even though, as this month approached, he had begun to realize exactly how much time he was spending here. And it was today when he got the definite proof: for the first time, he saw a date in the journal he had seen before. March the 19th.
That confirmed it: he had already been here a whole year. To think he was technically 15 now, even though he didn't feel it (partly because his body is still 14 from the brief trip home he had several months back). It already felt like so long ago when first arrived and got used to the situation. To the fact that he and Katara weren't a couple in this world - and that Katara and Sokka had lived in this world for so long without him. He wanted to do what he could to make it up to them. And now, a year later, he wondered if he had. And if he could make any real differences here in this world, for the betterment of them all. And aside from that... He thought of how much things had changed over this whole year. How he learned his future and met his next life. Met Ikki, the airbending apple of his eye. All of the good, bad and ugly coming from knowing the future; and it was only possible here, in Luceti.]

[Aang pops open the journal when he's home that afternoon, regarding it with a bright smile.]
Hey, everyone. It's Aang. [He almost wants to say, I've been here a year now. Isn't that weird?] Have any of you ever been able to do anything really neat with your wings? I know they can't fly, but still... between my wings, airbending and Kipinn, there's gotta be some kinda awesome trick I can pull off...
[It just feels important for today in particular to accomplish something. To feel like he's grown in some way.]
And by the way! If anyone wants to go on adventures with me and Appa while there's still snow around, feel free to let me know.
[And he goes through a variety of tasks throughout the day. Aside from spending the early part of the day at school. And after school, then he spends a few hours playing around in the snow and possibly taking Appa out on some journeys. He also slips in some time at the library before going home for dinner. No need to make a big deal of the day. And before he goes to the bed, he bundles up and goes over by the river to do some rare nighttime meditation. He hopes that maybe he'll stumble upon something, some way to advance peace in this world.]

Then I can gladly give you a tour around! Maybe you could fly alongside my sky bison, unless you'd rather ride on him too.
[...As odd as the mental image is of any type of pony or horse riding anything else is.]
[Video]
I would love to come on a tour with you! [ Little Miss Library's barely been out of the building since she arrived. ] Should I meet you?
[Video]
Maybe, unless you'd prefer me to meet you! Any time and place that's good for you is good for me!

[ She's sitting scanning the skies when he arrives. Normally she'd be reading a book, but right now she's content to admire the vast expanse she's suddenly presented with. Being able to fly at will is like adding a whole new dimension of motion! ]

[Action]
Did he come with you?
[Action]
He's the most amazing! And he's from home if that's what you mean. He just didn't come at the same time as me. [Aang had to go through a tough few months without his life buddy.]
[Action]
I thought that I hadn't seen any of these in the forest.
So! Where to? Are we going to see the mountain ranges? I haven't seen those close up. Oh, or the forest? Or are there nearby settlements to encounter?
[ She babbles because she's barely been outside the library recently, and is happy for an excuse to stretch her wings. And have adventures! ]
[Action]
There aren't really any other settlements aside from the village - just a few buildings here or there. But we can definitely check out the mountains or the forest!
[Action]
Oh, this is so exciting! [ She's flying circles around him now. ]
[Action]
Hey, save some of that energy for flying up there! After all, I think mountains're the best for flying. Especially since it doesn't sound like you've seen them at all yet!
[Action]
[Action]
Yip yip!
[Then, with a tug of the reins, the sky bison is lifting off into the air!]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
Does he have a name?
[Action]
I didn't give you his name yet? I'm sorry! How about a proper introduction? [As Appa evens out in the air.] Twilight, this Appa. Appa, this is Twilight Sparkle.
[And Appa gives a bellow of greeting.]
[Action]
[ She nuzzles up to him in midair and laughs again. ]
Oh, and I'm not really exaggerating there. Well, maybe a little. But Fluttershy's one of the gentlest, kindest ponies I know.
[Action]
Really? It's hard to imagine a pony even kinder than you!
[Action]
[Action]
Really? Does that make you like a... pony Avatar?
