Chapter six: Team avatar

It was 8 a.m. I was running around the house going berserk trying to make it perfect for the team avatar. Zach sat at the table texting this new kid named Micheal who he said was related to Aang and Zuko. Now Zach calls me Micheal's grandpa. Technically I'm not but Aang was my incarnation and Aang was Micheal's grandfather. Still I punch Zach in the shoulder whenever he calls me grandpa.

"Sydney don't stress. Its just gonna be a bunch of old dudes." he said.

"AND ITS GONNA BE OUR GREAT SOMETHING GRANDFATHER!!"

"Granpa?" Jason asked walking downstairs from his slumber.

"I guess you could say that." My mom said as she came down to pick him up. "Hows my little air bender?"

"Hungry!"

I started vacuuming the front room until my little sister Lilian came in.

"Mom guess what? I'm a water bender!!!!" she yelled. We had always thought Lillian wasn't a bender. Well she is now.

"How'd you find out?"

My seven year old sister answered, "I wet the bed and I was mad so I bended the water into the garbage can!"

"TMI!" said Zach walking out of the room. "My life is seriously gone crazy." he said.

My mom insisted I stop and relax. I had bacon and scrambled eggs with French toast for breakfast. The toast was burnt due to Eli's poor cooking skills.

After Breakfast I went up to the room I share with Sam. She was on her blue silk bed, snoring and saying stuff about giraffes in her sleep.

Upstairs I tried to read and get my anxiety away from meeting the team avatar. It was so much to do all in one week. Find out your the avatar, then meet your incarnation and his family, its all so crazy.

Downstairs I heard our loud front doorbell make its annoying sound fill our house. I didn't bother getting it, but I did go see who it was. It was a boy with brown hair, long legs, and his hair was spiked up into an unusual do that I had never seen before.

"Sydney! Your grandson is here!" my brother yelled. The boy looked confused. I heard a loud rattle of pots and pans in the kitchen and the sound of my sister playing a video game.

"What do you mean?" I asked, walking down the stairs to greet our guest.

"You don't get it?" Zach asked.

"He's not my grandso-.....oh....you mean this is Micheal? The one who is related to Aang and Zuko?"

"Yep. This here is Micheal Gavin, a water bender. He just moved here." My brother said and then pointed to me saying, "This is my stupid 13-year-old sister. You guys are related."

"WE ARE NOT!! I am not really his grandpa, just because I'm the Avatar doesn't mean that I'm his great grandpa Aang!!"

"Your the Avatar?" Micheal asked with wide eyes in astonishment.

"Yep, and now its giving my older brothers the wrong idea."

"So then, I called Micheal because I think its only fair he gets to meet Aang and Zuko as well when they come. He is related to Zuko just like we are." my brother said.

Micheal still astonished, said, "Your related to the fire lord too? That means we're like long lost relatives or something."

"Yea sure if you put it that way."

We introduced Micheal to my family, and when my mom found out we were distantly related to the dude, my mom gave him a hug and kiss. All I thought was.... AWKWARD!! Still, thats my mom for you.

The rest of the day basically went like this:

My mom calls Micheal's parents and says they must come over to see Aang. Then she explains the distant relation between our families and then she starts crying.

Then we play bending football outside with the all the kids. Basically bending football is where you play football but instead of tackling each other you have a mini bending duel. I pretty much creamed Sam and Eli, but Micheal was really hard. Every time we dueled against each other the outcome was either someone surrenders or we end up rolling on the grass in laughter.

Then we had lunch which turned into a food fight of BLT s and applesauce.

By 12:55 we all gathered in our medium sized living room. My parents, Jason and Lillian sat on our red leather couch. Eli, Zach, Micheal, and Sam sat on the floor while Micheal's Mom sat in a red leather chair. She had brown hair like Micheal, but her eyes were the same twinkly coffee brown color as my Dads.

I stood in the middle of our living room braided rug, awaiting the arrival. The tension in the room grew as no one spoke. My parents smiled at me, and Micheal gave me a thumbs up. Sam made her cheesy smile and the tension decreased as I laughed at her squinted eyebrows, closed eyes, and clasped smile with dimples in her cheeks.

While I tried to look brave and excited, there were really butterflies in my stomach. What if they didn't like me? What if I wasn't powerful enough? I found it hard to breathe and swallow. The hairs on my back and arms stood on end and my legs were covered in goose bumps.

Suddenly, a big gush of blue blinding light filled the room of people. Jason began to cry and I shielded my eyes for the light was too bright to see.

As the light died down 8 images of people appeared. I couldn't see who they were or their faces.

As the blue light disappeared, In front of us were 8 old men and woman. One man had a blue arrow on his head. Aang.

"What in the world?" said one of them.

"This is crazy!"

"Move aside people, Blind old lady trying to find out where we are!!" yelled a short blind woman. She had her grey hair rapped in a big bun and she wore a green earth bending robe. "We sure aren't in heaven anymore!" she yelled." I think either we're on earth, or I'm going bonkers. That or my feet are blind like me as well."

"Aang?" I asked. "Are you there?"

A man in orange and red robes came out. He was the one with the arrow. "Hello Sydney. It is hard for us to see at the moment, we all of just transported from death, a very hard task. What image are we in?"

Eli jumped up. "Old people!"

"Eli! don't be rude!" I whispered.

Aang smiled "Oh yes of course. Well why don't we fix that?" Suddenly another blue light came, but it wasn't as bright as the first.

This time I saw the same amount of people, but half of them were adults, half were teens my age and little children.

A younger image of Aang, the image of him in my dreams, held the hand of the same old lady at first, but younger. (I know, It should be Katara and Aang, but I'm a Taang and Zutara fan, so yeah!)

In front of them were two children. A boy with the same shaved bald head as Aang, who seemed to be Eli's age, and a girl about Lillian's age. She had mid-shoulder length black hair, an earth bending robe, and big eyes like Aang.

"Sydney and family, I would like to introduce myself." said Aang. "I am Avatar Aang, three avatars before Sydney. This is my wife Toph, and my son Tenzin and my daughter Takani."

Toph, Aang, and Tenzin bowed, but Takani just sat there. I'm guessing she has Toph's attitude.

Next, A man with black hair and a scar on his face stood. He had a fire nation robe, and the fire nation crown. He too, had the same color eyes as my Father and Mrs. Gavin. He held the hands of a girl in a fire nation dress and crown like Zuko, but she had massive water bender blue eyes. She seemed to be pregnant.

In front of them were twin girls. They each wore the same clothing and hairdo. The only thing different about them was that one had eyes like father and one had eyes like the mother. The seemed about 12 or 13.

"Hello, my name is Fire lord Zuko." said the man. "This is my wife Katara, a water bender, and my daughters. Kyra and Kayla." He pointed to the blue eyed girl as Kayla and the brown eyed girl as Kyra. Kayla was a fire bender and Kyra is a water bender.

Its like me and Sam I had thought. We look exactly alike, but I'm a fire bender, Sam's a water bender.

The family bowed to us and we bowed back. I looked into Zuko's eyes, and he looked at me and said:

Hello dear granddaughter.
