savedtheworld | Book 14: Autumn Breeze

[Action]

[The day is off to a normal start for Aang, starting with airbending practice. He also spends some of the morning using airbending to play around with the leaves on the front lawn of House 56.

After school, he then spends some time cooking at the bakery. He puts together a mix of cookies, cupcakes and some fruit pies of different flavors, and anyone can pop in while he's working on that. He leaves some at the bakery and takes the rest to the Welcome Center, where he sets them up as treats for visiting New Feathers. He spends some time lingering there to do what Welcome Center-ing work there is to be done. And before heading home for dinner, he takes Appa out for a ride flying in the air over Luceti.]

[Video]

[While Aang's at the Welcome Center, he sets up a video. The treats he prepared are visible on a table in the background. Those who met him during the last experiment can probably pick up over the video that he now looks 15-ish rather than 12, although it's easier to tell the difference in person.]

Hello. How is everyone? It's Aang here, and I've got a few things I wanted to say. First of all, isn't it great that it's autumn now? That's like the best time of the year! Does anyone know any fun things you like to do in autumn? I'd like to try out all kinds of new things.

I... also wanted to say something about the way I was a few weeks ago. When I was littler again. I lied and told some of you I wasn't the Avatar, but I really am. I'm sorry about that. [He pauses for a moment.] Other than that... I left some treats out in the Welcome Center to help greet any New Feathers! If you have any questions about this place, one of us there will do our best to help you. I know lots of things can be confusing and unfamiliar in this place. Come to think of it... Is it just me, or is this New Feather cycle going on longer than usual?

Neat!

I don't think it's that neat. It's more embarrassing than anything.

Or more pretty!

You are a smooth talker, Aang. You know that?

What can I say? I guess I'm just a smooth-bender! Not as much as Sokka, of course!

You're right, but you're much cuter than Sokka. [In the lil bro kind of way, but that's still much cuter than Sokka.]

[Now Aang is the one blushing.]

R-really? That can't be true.

Of course! Have you seen Sokka? Beards aren't adorable. [They're sexy. Big difference.]

They're not? But I'm gonna have a beard someday!

I didn't say I didn't like them. They just aren't adorable. Though, I think they'll still be adorable on you.

And that's good, right? Do you think it'll be handsome, too?

You will be very handsome, Aang.

Thanks, Suki. I'm glad to hear that. And I'm sure you'll only become more beautiful. It's just hard to imagine cuz you're already one of my prettiest friends!

You are making me blush, young man. You better stop that.

Well I already started it! Might as well keep it going. I bet Avatar Kyoshi'd tell you how pretty you are, too!

Aang. You are too sweet.

You're too sweeter!

Come here, you [You're getting a hug and a big kiss on the cheek.]

Okay! [He returns the hug, but gets meek and blushy at the kiss.]

I don't know what I'd do without you.

You'd still have plenty of other people to hug!
