[It's another New Feather season, which normally means more busy times at the Welcome Center in setting up to greet the new arrivals. But today, Aang's preoccupied himself with something else: that it's been a whole year since Ikki first appeared here in Luceti, and he had seen the first fellow air nomad since he'd woken from the iceberg. He remembers that light she brought into his life. He knows that she might realize this, too - that aside from the few weeks in which she was briefly sent home, it's been a year since she's been seperated from her home. From her family that raised her and her baby brother who has just been born. So he's intent on making this day as special as possible. In the morning, when she wakes up, he's ready to give her the full royal princess treatment, and others around the house are encouraged to do so as well, even wearing clothes that look like those of a royal retainer.

That morning, he does find some time to himself to address the journals.]

[Aang's wearing a servant-y get-up that looks something like this, with his arrow peeking out from the hat. There's mixed emotions on his face. He's sad at Ikki been trapped here and away from her family for so long - while having to endure all the stresses and traumas that come with Luceti life. But he's also sentimental and grateful for all the time he's been able to spend with Ikki and make her feel better - time that he knows he won't have at home.]

Hi, everyone. It's me, Aang. I just wanted to make sure you all knew that today... It's a very special day. Today it's been one year since Ikki got here in Luceti. Her family was only here for a little bit after she first got here, and she hasn't been able to see them here since then.

So, I just have a favor to ask you. If you see Ikki today, can you do what you can to help treat her like a princess? An Avatar princess! I want her to remember this day as... as a reminder and a celebration of all the good times she's had here and all the friends that she's made here. So that she doesn't have to associate it with... you know, with missing her family. I really want to thank everyone who's looked out for her in this time and made her smile. And I hope we can keep on making her smile for as long as she'll be here.

[He does manage to spend some time in the day not entertaining Ikki after school. He spends about a half hour at the Welcome Center to try to greet new arrivals and such, and he also spends some time at the bakery, where he makes some treats for Ikki - while keeping in mind what to prepare for Katara's coming birthday. And he leaves some extra - cookies, cupcakes and the like - for anyone who stops by.]

I don't think you'll be able to find it in the library. The fairy tales I'm talking about aren't the usual ones every knows where I'm from.

[However, there's a small smirk as he soon raises a very large book into view. Gold letters written on the cover saying "Once Upon a Time"]

Luckily, I've got the best copy there is.

[He gasps.

That

is a fucking awesome-looking

book.

Fuck, yes.]

[Take in it's wonder and splendor. See how it metaphorically glows with the knowledge of the fairy tale ages.]

You can come by and look at it if you want or I can meet you somewhere and let you borrow it. Whatever works.

Really? You'd let me read it? A book as cool as that? That's really nice of you. Thanks! Maybe I will come by sometime to read it a little.

Well, yeah. We're classmates after all, aren't we? And there's really no point in me keeping it to myself right now if it can help you. [He leaves out the penalty for obvious reasons.]

Let me know whenever you want to than. I'm in community house 1, in room 8 on the second floor.

That's right! I'll let you know for sure but it'll definitely be son. Thanks a lot, Henry!

It's no problem.

[But, a question does come to mind though. More about Ikki.]

Is Ikki okay though? I don't really know her but she helped me out when I first got here.

She's fine. She's been smiling and everything. [It's not surprising to hear - Ikki seemed to have an instinct for helping people.] I just want to make sure that it stays that way... now that she's been here a year.

A year, huh?

[There's a tiny frown on his face at that. She was younger than him and he kind of wonders if she ever missed her parents.]

Yeah, I hope she can still be happy too. It must be hard being here so long, especially without your family.

I know that it has to be. [It's been hard enough being without the monks who raised him for several years now.] She's a really strong kid.
