CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE DESERTER

IN AANG’S DREAM

Aang is standing next to Katara. He turns to her.

AANG: Hey, Katara! Watch this!

Aang creates a small flame in his hand. The flame quickly grows out of control. It turns into an inferno shooting out of the palm of his hand.

Aang turns to Katara and sees that her clothes have caught on fire.

AANG: Katara!

The flames consume Katara’s clothes but leave her unharmed. She stands in front of Aang completely naked, holding one arm across her chest and covering up the private spot between her legs with her other hand. She starts to cry.

AANG: Katara, I’m sorry!

Aang tries to reach out to her, but a sudden burst of flames comes out of nowhere and completely covers her.

AANG: No!

The flames disappear, and Zuko is standing where Katara had been. He’s completely naked, but unlike Katara, the firebender makes no effort to cover himself. Not that he would have been able to hide his erection.

Zuko gets into a firebending stance and bends straight at Aang. Aang is unable to move, and the flames surround him. When they disappear, Aang finds that he’s also naked, and Prince Zuko is suddenly right in front of him.

Zuko takes Aang in his arms and leans in to kiss him.

BACK TO REALITY

Aang quickly sits up after waking from his dream.

Katara rolls over and looks up at him.

KATARA: More nightmares?

AANG: No…

KATARA: Aang…

AANG: Okay! I had another nightmare. I guess they’re not gone for good.

KATARA: Anything I can do?

Aang looks down at his hands. He clenches his eyes shut and looks away from Katara.

AANG: No. It’s something I have to deal with on my own.

KATARA: Okay…

Katara rolls over, but she doesn’t close her eyes.

Aang lies back down.

AANG (muttering to himself): It’s all my fault.
