'Ken has taught me a few great bending moves,' Katara said and this surprised her greatly. "He taught you? How can he teach you? You're a girl. He doesn't know any healing that I know of," She was completely surprised even when they were kids she never asked Ken to teach her what he had learned because it was forbidden and they would both got in big trouble. Girls were only to learn healing and boys didn't learn that surely Ken wasn't teaching her waterbending techniques. Luna was curious about other techniques, but didn't really care if she learend it until she got to the Earth Kingdom and needed to know how to defend herself.
'Well thanks to Ken…and Sokka, it looks like we’ll have a really nice meal after all!!' She smiled at Katara, although she was still concerned about Ken and even more interested in what Ken had been teaching her.
'Wait until you meet our friend Aang! Oh ..and his bison friend Appa! He’s HUGE! Isn’t he Sokka?' Luna smiled she wonder how many of them were traveling together. "Is Aang from the Water Tribe too?" Luna asked obvious that he was the Avatar she had only heard he returned and that was about all she knew. She was curious to see Appa, "You have interesting animals around."

Sokka's great smile was soon cut short by the comment that Ken had made. Blinking his eyes for a moment, he looked back into the bag. "Do you believe how much of a fight these guys can put up? I'm lucky to be alive!" The boy soon rolled his eyes before taking a glance back at Katara who also commented on his bag of fish. His younger sister then introduced him to the girl named Luna. "Lunaaaaa, yeah! Nice to meet you!" Sokka was about to continue a long winded greeting before heaving a sigh as he watched Ken take a walk away from their group before noticing the boy bending the water. The non bender watched as larger fish than what he had caught were brought over and dropped into his bag. He frowned slightly before rolling his eyes. "Oh so its always the benders who want to show off." Sokka simply sighed as he watched the boy wander off by himself, clearly troubled by something.
His crystal eyes glared over at Momo still seemingly taunting him. "This is your fault you know." He poked in thin air at the direction of the little creature before looking back to Katara who was quite eager to introduce the rest of their small traveling party to Luna. "Its not everyday you see a bison this HUGE! I mean I've seen bison but never one this big...or maybe those were Buffalo-Yak..." Sokka stretched his arms out wide before nearly falling over from the weight on his right hand which held the bag of fish. Sokka's ears perked at Luna's question. "Aang? Yeah....about Aang. He's not exactly from the Southern Water Tribes...well sort of!" Sokka quickly tied the brown bag of fish and sat it down on the ground. "You see Katara and I were out on a hunting expedition when we found this like giant ice berg of well snow and ice! I mean come on were expecting meadows and flowers in the South?" Once again the boy stretched his arms out to resemble the large iceberg before continuing with his story. "So we were curious and found someone trapped in there. I of course knocked to see if anyone was still home." Sokka rushed to a tree imitating that the tree was the ice that they had found their friend in. "Well come to find out he's the long last Avatar that's been missing for ummm...lets just say...lots of years." His short winded breath made his last sentence come out quite rushed. Taking a deep breath and wiping off his forehead he glanced over to his sister. "Does that about sum it up Katara?" A grin came across his face in an instant hoping he didn't miss any of the details.

Its not everyday you see a bison this HUGE! I mean I've seen bison but never one this big,' Sokka replied to Katara's statement they both emphasized that the animal was huge "I've seen some pretty large animals," Luna stated looking at Katara and Sokka. "We had some bison's at the North Pole," Luna remembered having large animals at the North Pole both wild and tamed. It was fun to ride some of them when she was younger. She recalled many fun adventures when she was younger. Sometimes she missed those times of not having to worry about anything.
'We found this like giant ice berg of well snow and ice! So we were curious and found someone trapped in there, Sokka explained on how they found the Avatar. Luna was surprised she didn't know anyone could survive in an iceberg. But it might be possible. She listened to Sokka tell the rest of his story. 'Well come to find out he's the long last Avatar that's been missing for ummm...lets just say...lots of years,' as Sokka said this Luna's eyes widen. "You mean you're traveling with the Avatar?" Luna questioned in disbelief.
Sure she had heard about the Avatar, but to actually find people who were traveling with him was amazing. And she was actually going to meet the Avatar. Luna didn't know whether to be excited or terrified to meet the Avatar. The master of all four elements, the one who will end this war. At least she hoped he would. She hadn't been affected by the war to much, but knew it was destroying many lives in the Earth Kingdom and in her sister tribe. Just as Katara had told her, 'Many of our people were..killed or taken away by the fire nation so.... unfortunately there aren’t that many living there anymore.'

Giving a short chuckle, the water bender listened as her brother introduced himself to Luna and then brag about his extremely difficult fishing adventure. She turned back to the Northern water bender when he was finished and nodded. “Yep. Ken taught me and Aang quite a few things during our travels. He’s a very good water bender and …well..I never had a teacher. My mother used to tell me tales about my Gran Gran who was a great healer but…there weren’t any water benders around when I was growing up so I kind stumbled around learning it by myself. Then we bumped into Ken.”
Katara shook her head at Sokka’s mumbled complaint about Ken showing off his bending skills to catch fish. Then her brother moved in to glare at the lemur who was perched on her shoulder saying, "This is your fault you know." Momo leaned forward as well and cheeping back.
The brunette had been about to tell Luna about Aang when her brother began to rush about in his normal overzealous manner retelling the story of when they found Aang trapped within the iceberg. At a few of his antics, Katara gave the girl by her side an embarrassed smile while her brother ended gasping , "Does that about sum it up Katara?" A grin came across his face in an instant hoping he didn't miss any of the details.
“Ahh..yep, that’s about what happened. Of course ..It was actually me who hit the ice first and Sokka left out that he fell into the water a few times. Aang is the Avatar and he was in the iceberg for a hundred years. He’s really nice. I think you’ll really like him.”
As the small group continued walking down the narrow trail, the water bender tilted her head to ask. “Luna…how did you come to be here..in the earth nation…by yourself? I mean..Sokka and I are helping Aang. Are there other members of your tribe here somewhere? ”

'Ken taught me and Aang quite a few things during our travels,' Luna was still confused on why Ken would teach Katara because she was girl perhaps they had different customs at the Southern Water Tribe. 'My mother used to tell me tales about my Gran Gran who was a great healer, That part made since, but still she was a bit confused. "What exactly has Ken been teaching you?" Luna asked curiously.
'It was actually me who hit the ice first and Sokka left out that he fell into the water a few times,' Luna laughed slightly at this part. Apparently Sokka was clumsily she looked at him briefly before turning back to Katara. 'Aang is the Avatar and he was in the iceberg for a hundred years. He’s really nice. I think you’ll really like him, When Katara said this it comforted her slightly. She would like to meet the Avatar and Katara had said he was nice so maybe it wouldn't be that bad.
Luna…how did you come to be here..in the earth nation…by yourself? Luna looked away slightly. She remembered the day that her parents told her they had arranged a marriage for her. When she met him her face held anger for a few seconds before she turned back to Katara. I mean..Sokka and I are helping Aang. Are there other members of your tribe here somewhere? "Well I ran away," Luna said quietly that didn't sound to good. "I mean...I had to...they had arranged a marriage for me." Luna looked away she wonders if she made the right choice. She knew she wouldn't have been happy at least running away she would have a life. She didn't like having her life planned out in front of her with no say in anything that happened.

Sokka took a deep breath before promptly hearing Katara's voice before his could even come out of his mouth. The boy simply rolled his eyes as Katara 'corrected' his fabulous story with some of her own details. Their feet crunched across the dirt trail as they began to become more acquainted with their new found Water Tribe friend. Of course Sokka couldn't help but feel a bit out of place not being a Water Bender. It didn't bug him too much except for when Ken had just soaked his pride a bit only a few moments before. Luna's voice suddenly grew quiet as she began to elaborate on why she was in the Earth Kingdom. Sokka kept quiet as the his sister and Luna exchanged words, it was probably something he didn't want to involve himself in.
The trio soon found themselves at the small camp they had setup with Aang's help, although the Avatar was no where around at all. The fire was still burning well. Sokka scampered over to the fire and placed a large piece of wood. At first the fire seemed to die down slightly. Sokka leaned over before the flames burst from the wood. Jumping back at its surprise, Sokka waved his hands trying to clear away the smoke that had erupted in his face. "Gah! Stupid fire! Never good for anything...except maybe cooking food!" Sokka just remembered the fish he had and gathered a few extra sticks that were lying neatly piled on a small cloth.
Taking out some of the fish from the bag, Sokka quickly managed to place their meal over the roaring fire to cook. The crackle of flames lit up the slightly dim camp site as Sokka sat down on the ground staring at the fire before realizing Aang wasn't around. Sokka jumped to his feet and frantically searched their camp site, including the bushes and trees. "Aang?" Sokka questioned as he poked his head into one of the tents. There was nothing inside other than a few pieces of clothing and other items that Katara had gathered for their trip.
Sokka soon popped out of the tent and glanced into a few more bushes and behind the tent. "Aang? This isn't funny! You're usually not late for meal..." Sokka's muffled voice could be heard as he popped his head out of a bush with a few leaves tangled in his hair. Shrugging slightly, the crystal eyed boy sat down back at the fire and tended to the cooking fish.

Luna walked into a small campsite with Sokka and Katara. She looked at the campfire it was burning nicely she watched as Sokka put another piece of woods on it. 'Gah! Stupid fire! Never good for anything...except maybe cooking food!' There were many good uses for fire it kept you warm especially at the North Pole she was sure he needed it as well at the South Pole. She didn't say anything about it he probably just didn't like fire to much because of the Fire Nation. She watched him as he cooked the dinner. She took a seat not to far away, but not to close either.
Luna glanced around the campsite looking at the items and tents that laid around the site. She didn't see the Avatar she wonder briefly where he was she wanted to certainly meet him. She didn't concern herself to much as she watched the fire a bit more. Her thoughts drifted back to Ken she wonder what was wrong, why did he run off like that. She had been overjoyed to see him and didn't understand why he needed some time alone. She frowned at the thought was it because of her?
She was cut off from her thoughts as Sokka questioned, 'Aang?' He looked inside the tents he continued to look in bushes and other places around the camp. 'Aang? This isn't funny! You're usually not late for meal...' Luna became a bit concerned apparently this was not normal for the Avatar. She stood up wondering if there was anything she could do to help. Soon Sokka sat back down to the fire. Luna glanced at Katara wondering if she was worried about the Avatar as well.

Kensat there, spacing out at the world. Thinking of all the time he hadn't been there for her, wondering what she had did. Like never-ending amount of questions filling his head to the brim, but one question stuck out the most
What was she doing in the earth kingdom?
He stood up slightly, still tremeling, as he reached full height he go the dizzyness, And wavered around slightly, turning the water around him into blobs,so he could sit down like a bean bag, as he regained ontrol he stood up, movin backwards so he could get back to the camp. He stopped as he saw a plume of smoke
Sokka. he thought as he rolled his eyes and bean walking again, As he entred the cleaing her saw the three, but no Aang, walking up behind lunah wrapped an arm around her, in a freindly-ish hug
"Hey again" he said, slightly smiling. looking back at sokka he then realised he as ranting again
"Aang is fine, sokka. I Spoke to him earlier. Now quit the rantings." he said in his teacher/Serious tone. before un-tensin nd softening up, and he sat next to sokka pulling a fish out of the bag he put it onto the pan, not bothering to add the oil.
"Don't start sokka, i know what im doing." he said, flipping up the fish, gutting it with a knife as it cooked with the fire
"You surely remember what im cooking, luna?, it was your faviourite food of mine..."

Luna had been lost in thought she didn't even hear Ken's footsteps. She certainly didn't expect him to wrap his arms around her. She smiled as soon as she heard his voice, Hey again.'
"You're back!" Luna said happy to see him again he seemed to be in a good mood. She wonder what he did while he was alone maybe he would tell her later.
'Aang is fine, Sokka. I spoke to him earlier. Now quit the rantings,' Ken said this in a serious voice she looked at Sokka. She watched as Ken began to fix the fish his own way. The way his was fixing it was familiar she knew what it was. She smiled at him when he was back at the North Pole they occasionally cook and he was surprisingly a good cook. She always looked forward to having chances to cook and eat with him. 'Don't start Sokka, i know what I'm doing, Luna looked at Sokka and his pile of fish she was looking more forward to what Ken was cooking she watched him. 'You surely remember what I'm cooking, Luna?, it was your favorite food of mine, Ken said and Luna smiled brightly at him. "How could I forget?"

Swinging her small leather sack of berries in hand, Katara followed Sokka as he led them back to their small encampment. She stepped over to the small stone rock which they’d been using as a table and laid the bag on top. Her head darted back and forth , searching for Aang. “Hmmm…must have taken Appa out for a small flight ..” Her voice revealed her concern. Katara coughed as wisps of grayish white smoke blew into her face and listened to her brother mumble to himself.
“Maybe he went to find some food for Appa?” Katara suggested while rubbing a few tears from her eyes. “Hmmm …I’m hungry Sokka!! I can’t wait to have a bite of one of those fish!!!” She gave Luna a smile and gestured with her right arm to a seat where their guest could sit. “Why don’t you have a place by the fire Luna. My brother knows how to grill fish quit well!! We'll be eating in no time!!” Glancing upward at the sky, the water bender ‘s brows furrowed when she did not see the familiar the bison circling above.
Katara’s attention soon shifted to find Ken moving up to Luna’s side and pulling her into his side. ‘Hmmm he seems to have cheered up a bit.’ The teenager smiled at hearing that Aang was in no apparent danger but her eyes swiftly narrowed at the boy’s sharp tone. “KEN! Sokka wasn’t ranting…he was just concerned..as I was myself. As to cooking, it’s nice of you to offer to help but…my brother's been cooking fish on a fire for a very long time…nearly since our mot…our mother died. " The brunette paused for a moment then watched as Luna and Ken shared some past memory. ‘Why was he so rude to Sokka? Ever since this northern water bender has shown up, he’s been acting so strange….I wonder what is bothering .. Of course!! He’s jealous!! He thinks that Sokka might be interested in the pretty girl!!’
She shimmied over to her brother and gave the two a long inquisitive stare. “But..Ken, if you ..would like to show your girlfrie…friend how well you cook. Go right ahead…ummm Sokka and I will go ..find…WOOD yeah..wood. “ Grabbing hold of the warrior’s right arm, Katara began dragging the stunned faced boy toward another path: walking right past a huge pile of kindling that Aang and Sokka had gathered when they first set up camp. “We’ll..ahh..be back in a bit!” she called out over her shoulder as their foot falls echoed about thenow silent air.

Ken rolled his eyes whilst Katara nagged at him, he continued to gut the fish in a perfect manner, it was starting to cook in the outer area of the fish. He slice it in half i nth pan when flipping the fish on the other side
He continued this for a couple of minutes in silence, Still knoning that luna was watching his every move, He turned his head toward the clearing that they had one through, rolled his eyes once more, the wood was already there, Talk about a escuse.
He then stood up, putting the pan on the log, heaing of some sizzling as the heat went onto the log, he turned around and walked toward luna
" Out of the many years i've known you. Why have you come looking for me?, It doesn't make sense. He said, the water in bottle by his side was fizzling in the container it was in, making it look like somethin alive was in there. trying to get out, His eyes no longer the soft caring ones, But the hard-Serious stare.

'Maybe he went to find some food for Appa?' Katara suggested she was showed her concern for the Avatar. Why don’t you have a place by the fire Luna. Luna took a seat next to fire as Katara offered it. "Thanks Katara," Luna said smiling at the girl.
Luna heard Katara's harsh tone toward Ken, KEN! Sokka wasn’t ranting…he was just concerned..as I was myself,' Luna completely understood that Katara and Sokka would be worried about another member of their group. She would too if she was traveling with others.
'But..Ken, if you ..would like to show your girlfrie…friend how well you cook, Luna didn't really know how to react to this statement sure they were close, but not in that way. Ummm Sokka and I will go ..find…WOOD yeah..wood,' Luna heard Katara give herself and brother an excuse to leave she watched them leave. She shifted uncomfortably in the silence that followed the siblings leaving.
Luna turned her head to Ken seeing him walk toward her. Out of the many years I've known you. Why have you come looking for me?,' His voice wasn't as gentle as before. 'It doesn't make sense, his eyes were hard and serious as she looked at him. "I wasn't looking for you," Luna stood up so she could face him face to face a little better. "I didn't even think I would ever see you again," Luna whispered the last part. She really didn't think she would have the chance to see Ken again. When he left she thought that was the last time she would ever see him. She never planned on coming to the Earth Kingdom, but things were planned and fell into place for her to come here.

Ken looked at her in his normal way for the moment, tracing her for any lies, None at all
"I Just don't understand how you could find me, And why you ar ou here in the earth kingdom, after all...." he said, Sitting down opposite her next to the blazing fire, with the four logs around it, he was on the right log of her
"If i recall.."
[[OOC: I would like to do a flashback-Posts from now on, so it would be really nice if katara Or sokka didn't post, don't worry, shouldn't last too long]]
Flashback On, Two1/2 years ago
Sora grunted as he packed several items into his bag, it was time to leave soon, He closed his eyes memorially for the seventh time today, and it was only morning, his 'house' had been cleared out of items, of what little things he had anyway. Putting the bag to the side he walked out, but an un-welcome face appeared in front of him, His master.
"Kenzee Zakari, We need to talk" his master said, Hints of force in his tone
"No, i'm busy at the moment, Master Pokku/Pakku" he said, Emphasizing on the master. Master pokku just sighed
"I'm sorry.-" he said, but was interupted by a flick of the wrist of ken
"No you aren't, You made me into this, So i'm leaving." he said bluntly
"Now hear me YOUNG man, I will NOT tolerate you to leave the water tribe" Pokku/Pakku Roared, on-goers passing by had stopped, in a crowd like stance
"You don't own me, You should've thought about what you said, before calling me a disgrace!" Ken roared back, Louder than his 'master', Even making him flinch slightly, others scared out of their wits, People who knew him were extremely scared, As 'their' ken never got angry
"Out of my way." Ken said harshly, People moving out the way for him, and he passed, Making his way towards his faviourite place, The spirit oasis. His boat wasn't leaving for a couple of hours yet
Ken then roared once more out of frustration, lifting his hands up in a bending like manner, even though he didn't actually know, he was bending. Without his notice, The water was fizzling like his emotions, Like spikes erupting from it, you could see faint like bumps in the bubble in mid-air, as if spikes where trying to break free from it
"God d**n it...." ken said, before raising his arms full blown, a dragons head appeared out of the water, And rose up. in a whip like state he began moving around according to ken's emotions, it writhed about lightly, the water (made out of water) dragon, Ken then slammed hismelf into the round as he leaned abck into nothingness, and the dragon landed back into the water with a splash

Flashback
Luna walked out of the healing hut she had just finished her healing lesson for the day. She smiled as she walked through the doors finally able to do what she wanted for the day. The lessons seemed to drag on they were to easy for her. She walked through the massive city passing by many people she knew. She was looking for one person in particular, Ken.
Luna made her looked at all the normal places he would be his house, the training grounds, and a few other places. But there was one other place she could look his favorite hangout the Spirit Oasis. Luna quickly ran to the Oasis. She easily navigated through the streets and made it to the door of the Oasis. When she walked in she took off her outer coat it was warm in here. She laid it close to the entrance and made her way father in. And there laying on the ground was Ken. "I knew I'd find you here," Luna said making her way toward him.

Ken Looked upwards to hear somone speaking, he leaned his head up to see luna fast trackin towards him, he grunted slightly and laid his head back down on the grass, lookin away at the pond
"Hey, luna." he said, Blinking slowly
He then stood up, breathing lightly, rubbing the back of his head, His face was partly stoic, they both knew what was the problem
"What have you been doing, most of the day. Luna?" he said quieter than normal, it had been sort of silent
