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.]

And she's my sifu, too! [ HERE COMES THE GIANT SNOWBALL. ]
action;
And then Aang holds his arms out bendingly to try to stop the big one in midair before it hits him. And if that works, he'll try to pick it back at Korra.]
action;
And then she comes running forward, miniature avalanches running alongside her. ]
action;
But Aang does have a quick solution, as his future life stampeded at him; he tries to ice-ify the path in front of her to try and slip her up.]
action;
The sudden ice does cause her to slide, but she's seasoned enough in dealing with ice that she doesn't fall. Instead, she tries to bend the ice into a controlled slide so she can get behind him and try to clobber him with a snow wave. ]

action;
Feeling like a snowman yet?
action;
I'm thinking more like a snow...
[And then he bursts out from the snow, bending the snow around him into tendril-like shapes, making it slushier in the process.]
octopus!
[With a grin, he begins whipping the tendrils around, the slushy snow breaking off as projectiles as he does so, aimed to pelt at Korra.]
action;
Ack! [ She retreats, rolling back and bending up a solid ice wall to act as a shield. ]
action;
action;
Which means Aang can expect a snowball coming in from his left, rolling along the ground to smoosh him Indiana Jones-style. ]
action;
[It catches him off-guard and he can't jump in the way in time. So he earthbendingly plows through it himself, getting snow all over him. But he proceeds to leap over Korra - using airbending to shake the snow off of him to fall towards Korra.]
action; I'M NOT SURE HOW I LOST THIS TAG
action; UNFORGIVABLE
action; sobs
action;
Katara's moves are fancier than that!
action;
action;
Oh yeah? Well you don't know what you're missing out on!
[He then drops the slab of ice and instead jumps on it - bending at both the ice and snow to propel himself forward as if it were an icy snowboard. He tries to rush past Korra and thrust a wave of snow at her as he passes.]
