Sokka's p.o.v

The four of us sat and listened as the story teller told us of flying people. Of course Aang was excited because he thought it was of the old airbenders that used to live at the nearby temple.

Sky listened intently too, but I think she just liked a good story since she tells them a lot.

I have to admit though since there's no benders in her world I like some of them more due to my lack of bending. Actually it's nice that she wasn't always a bender so she's more sensitive to that and doesn't tease me like my sister does. Well about bending anyways.

"Whoa is that what it was really like back then.", Katara says in awe.

"Ya sure was. I laugh at gravity all the time.", Aang says goofily "Gravity Ha!"

"Where I'm from we use machines to fly.", Sky says to me from her spot seated on the dirt leaning against me as she looks up at me thoughtfully.

"I used to jump out of them with my dad then we'd use parachutes to catch the wind to slow our plummet so we'd land safely." as she motions her hands likes she's trying to form the shute with her hands.

"Do you ever miss your own world.", I say as Aang and Katara run to talk to the storyteller.

"I miss the technology, some of the fun stuff I got to do like snow boarding, but people always mattered to me more. And I think I can handle missing the stuff, because I've got you guys. You, your sister, Aang, you're my home now.", she says smiling at me as I give her my hand pulling her up as we walk to the bison.

"I don't know it sounds pretty cool, I'm surprised your not missing the technology.", I say.

"Some, not all like my computer, it was like a mini-library, storyteller, music player. You could find everything using one. But as an airbender a parachute would be nice, sky diving or boarding needs it.

I really miss snow boarding though.", she says with a faraway look. "I was in the running to get a medal for it, you know become a world champion at it, until...."

I remember the ex-boyfriend had her attacked and injured her, that was the medal she was up for.

She'd mentioned it. Due to her dad's death she never got to compete again. Knowing the way she works on her bending and other training she's doing I know she had to of given it her all training. I know enough to know it has to kill her she couldn't finish competing due to the injury.

"You know if my injury wasn't so bad, I'd of tried to fake it and compete anyways.", she says and there's the Sky I know and love.

"I bet if you had competed you would of won.", I say as she looks at me a light blush dusting her cheeks.

"I can teach ya some day Sokka, I'm sure between the two of us we can devise a snowboard.", she says looking happy as she smiles at me.

"You know what, I'd like that.", I say as I give her a side hug " And I wouldn't be surprised if Aang and Katara were up to it." as I grin back what can I say her smiles infectious.

"Hey guys guess what!", Katara shouts as her and Aang come running.

"You discovered those weren't old tales and happened just a few months ago?",Sky says looking at them as there faces deadpan.

"You know sometimes I forget you know the future.", Aang says.

"Only to the end of the war, and some stuff from the avatar after you, and like I said my existence changes things.", Sky says shrugging her shoulders.

Her eyes show a bit of amusement as if there's a private joke only she knows.

"Like what?", Aang says.

"When's the last time you saw Sparky?", she says smirking "So we heading to the temple or what?" cutely cocking her head.

time skip Sky's p.o.v.

We're going to see Teo's dad today. Hmmm they never gave him a name. Oh a well I have my work cut out for me here. I have to stop the Fire nation from getting the balloon. I have to think of a way to get rid of it. Maybe if Sokka or someone helps me shove it off. I saw it in a fanfiction where Aang helped the o.c. throw it over so maybe I can try it. I mean it is a genius idea. Uhg if only I had a cooler existence then Princess Sky Nagamo, the dual bender. Not that anyone knows I'm a princess. Only someone in the know would pick up that I'm my tribe's last princess and my dad was the last chief.

I still don't understand why no one in my tribe stepped up and asked for me, I guess they didn't want someone with the authority to hold them accountable anymore.

I pulled my thoughts from there course which would only lead to sadness or self doubt as Katara yells "Look!"

"Airbenders there really alive?", Sokka says in awe.

"There not airbenders.", I say as I watch them.

"What do ya mean there flying?", Sokka says.

"Ya but they have no spirit.", Aang says.

"Hey I could hang glide as good as these chuckle heads before I could bend, I'd say we have a lot of spirit.", I say smirking as Teo zooms over us.

I grab my glider as I look at Aang and Sokka "That looks like a challenge, what do ya say sifu, shall we show these guys some real flying.", as my smirk grows and Aang looks determined as he nods at me before flying off on his glider and I follow. He goes to performing his series of loops and stuff as he and Teo begin testing each other. I speed doing my own loops and add my bending. I combine a few dives I learned Sky diving before opening my glider just in time as I propel myself. I spot Teo's smiley face of Aang as I notice my watertribe friends steer Appa in for a landing.

I'm having a blast, I rarely take time to show off my bending and getting to show off my hang gliding and combining my skydiving and boarding skills is totally awesome. I let out a happy whoop as the adrenaline rush hits. I think ice dodging was the last time I had an adrenaline rush and it wasn't because someone was attacking us.

"Awesome flying!", Aang says to me grinning as we both land all grins and Teo shortly after,

"Thanks lil' bro.", I say grinning as I our two watertribe friends join us.

"Wow you guys are real air benders.", he says.

"Ya that would be us.". I say leaning on Aang's shoulder, "But you gliding was exceptional."

"Thanks I'm Teo.", he says.

"Wow this glider chair is amazing.", Sokka says as he goes to examine it.

"I'm Sky, this is Aang.", I say still happily "And the guy checking out your chair is Sokka , and Thats Katara."

"You think this is great you should see some of the other stuff my dad has invented.", Teo says grinning.

"That'd be kind of cool.", Is say as Aang looks on and before I know it he's giving us the tour.

I try to stay positive for Aang's sake, because I know some of the changes here are going to be pretty upsetting. When we get to the bison statue I hear the ball before it hits.

"Sokka duck.", I say realizing the rubbles gonna come out way as I pull water from the air and form an ice shield which I'd been working on as a secondary way to protect as we duck.

"Whoa she bends water too.". Teo says.

"I'm a dual bender.", I say as we get into a chat as his dad keeps looking my way as we chat.

"You wanna see my other inventions ?", he asks.

"Sure "Sokka says like a kid in a candy store.

"You too miss Sky I wanna show you something you may find interesting.", he says as I shrug.

"Sure I guess.", I say as I walk close to Katara, " Stay close to Aang."

We go through the gassy stairwell as we head to his chamber where blue prints are everywhere.

"First Ms.Sky are you aware of the legacy of the dual benders?", he says.

"Nope.", I say popping the P as he pulls a scroll.

"The princesses of the tribe were said to be renowned for there singing abilities and the power with in.

Now they were a tribe that were nomadic and traveled between the air and water tribes before they left.", he starts.

"So the princesses can sing.", Sokka says. Actually I can sing really well a lot of our purse money comes from it when I get separated.

"They can call people through dimensions and time it says.", the inventor goes again "But the princess's song's first priority was to rally the armies.", It's like I'm not even here I should of went with Aang.

"Sir what does it matter, so some legend says a bunch of nonsense about a singing princess.", I say

"I was hoping as a dual bender you may know where the next Nagamo singing princess is, the war may need her song to rally it.", He says firmly. Well dang that's my last name. It means singer or chanter.

"Sir I think that we have more to worry about then finding some princess whose tribe abandoned her when she needed them.", I say as Sokka watches our exchange "Oh hey your making a hot air balloon.", I say spotting the war balloon blue prints.

"Wow, what a good name for it.", he says as me and Sokka look at him eyebrow raised.

"It only goes up doesn't it.", I say as I examine it with Sokka.

"Why yes, how did you guess.", he says.

"Sky's a crazy genius in her own right.", Sokka says as I turn the picture.

"Do you see it Sokka.", I say noticing it's missing a lid and hoping Sokka's inventive brain picks up.

"Ya I think I do Sky, it needs a way to let the hot air out.", he says.

"Ya kind of like on a kettle, you need a lid to let air out or you'll only go up,", I say.

"Your right that would work.", Sokka says "Then it needs something to steer it."

"Hey great minds think alike sometimes." , I say as he hugs me and the inventor looks on as his head perks up at the door opening sound and rushes off as we follow him me knowing what's happening.

"Your building weapons for the fire nation!", Aang shouts exasperated.

"You are bad inventor!", Sokka scolded.

"Dad how could you.", Teo says running off devastated with Aang.

"I know you think you had no choice sir, but there's always a choice.", I say as I look at him "How soon is the fire nation war minister showing up for your stuff?"

I then hear a sound, "There here now.", the inventor says solemnly.

Then the battle is just a little ways away. He walks off as Katara chases after the boys while me and Sokka stand there.

"This is gonna be a long night.", I say looking up at him as he rubs my back.

"You've been thinking on this all day haven't you?", he says "its why you've been so distracted"

"That too.", I say as I lean on the wall.

"It's the whole singing princess of the dual benders thing.", he says looking at me as he leans his side on the wall next to me.

"Yea what does that even mean Sokka.", I say feeling confused.

"Hey no worries unless your the tribe's princess it doesn't affect anything.", he says as I look up at him and we share a look that makes him freeze. "Wait that can't be."

"All it takes to be a princess is being a chieftain's daughter. Like Katara is your tribal chief's daughter. ", I start. "But yes, my full name is Sky Nagamo, it means singer or chanter. My dad was the chief, with his passing leadership of the tribe falls to me and whomever I would of married. But after he passed since non of my family was living they tried members of my tribe to take me in. Only the ones who wanted there son's to take over to the tribe wanted to step up. If I didn't accept there sons trothed I wouldn't of been taken in. So rather than consign myself to the wrong guy."

"You went into that foster care system.", He finishes and I nod.

"Sokka there's nothing magical about my singing voice though.", I say

"Can you even sing, I've never heard you.", he asks.

"Yes Sokka, that's were I got some of our extra purse money.", I say smirking.

"Well maybe there's something in your tribes history to explain it.", he says " But for what it's worth I'm glad you turned those chuckleheads down. Cause now I get to do this." and he leans over and presses a kiss to my lips as my eyes flutter closed.

"And if you get over yourself and tell your sister about us you could more often.", I say smirking.

A short while later we're discussing battling the fire nation troops heading our way. I'm standing with Aang as we watch as the troops approach while Sokka helps the inventor on the war balloon.

"There's so many.", I say seeing the magnitude with my own eyes as I process.

"We'll make it through Sky, I hope.", Katara says.

"Ya I know.", I say smirking at her as she looks at me questioningly.

"Where's Sokka with that war balloon?", Aang says.

"Have faith in him, he'll be here.", I say smiling as we take the air with a bunch of gliders to drop the bombs on the troops and tanks. I have to say I'm made my share of firebender's flinch as I use some of my sky diving drops. Then I remember something about the tanks as I run out of bombs. They have water in them, and I can bend that. I land in front of a tank just as Katara runs up by me.

"The tanks are, oh wait you know don't you.", she starts and I nod as I freeze the water in one and flip it over as Katara does the next one.

"Your pretty good Sky.", she says.

"Thanks but I have a lot to learn.", I say as I flip another as the war balloon arrives dropping bombs as we continue to battle I notice the balloons out of bombs.

"Katara get on appa there gonna throw the engine and then its gonna get messy.", I shout as she nods hopping on the bison as I take air in my glider just as the engine falls and blows causing a massive avalanche that wipes out the fire nation army.

As the balloon falls I head with Aang up and grab Sokka as Aang gets the inventor and we land.

As soon as the balloon lands I begin to water bend the snow into a wave as I push the balloon over the cliff.

Once it's over I watch to make sure it's hopefully gone as I glide down to see to it's demise before flying back to the others.

"Sky why'd you get rid of it?", Sokka whines.

"Cause if I didn't we'll see a lot more of those someday, I just hope I did enough.", I say as we lock eyes again.

The next morning we're on our way again as the inventor and teo are among those seeing us off.

"So what do you think you changed this time?", Sokka later asks when we're alone again.

"Hopefully the outcome of a bigger fight to come.", I say.

"Just don't push yourself to hard, lean on us if you need to.", he says "I've got your back.

"
