Weeks have passed since the day Zuko betrayed Y/N and his uncle. The very tragic event that caused Aang to get severely hurt to the point he died, which later on get resurrected thanks to Katara's healing ability and Y/N's strong spiritual energy. B...

Losing my bending is hard. But I losing a friend like Katara would be worst. I will try my best to be the Y/N I used to be. I will beat myself forever if I ended up hurting the people who always stick by my side.
-Scamming Gone Wrong-
Y/N P.O.V
I'm sitting next to Katara. l/n is sleeping on my lap and Momo is sleeping next to her. She looks upset for some reason. When I asked her, she told me that she overheard Sokka's and Toph's conversation about her.
Sokka apparently said the same thing to Toph as he did with me. Now she understands what Toph is feeling deep down. So she wants to to make things right with Toph. But she won't tell me how she plans on doing so.
I turn my head and notice Sokka and Toph. Katara notices them too and stands up. She walks up to them, mostly to Toph.
"Hi, Toph. Um, I wanna-" Katara said. But before she could finish her sentence, Toph lift her hand. "Katara, stop. You don't need to apologize. I was the one being stupid. These scams are out of control, and I'm done with them" she said.
"Actually I wasn't going to apologize. I was gonna say... I wanna pull a scam with you" she said. My eyes widened in shock. I can see Aang and Sokka with the same reactions behind Toph.
"What? You wanna pull a scam?" She said, in shock. "Not just any scam. The ultimate scam" she said. I walk up to her. "Are you sure about this?? You were the one who said it could be dangerous. Now you want to pull a scam??" I said. She turns to me and smiles.
"It'll be fine! So whaddaya say, Toph? Just me and you. One last go. You in?" She said, turning to Toph again. Toph have an excited smile on her face. "You know I'm in! Now what's this idea of yours?" She said. They start to walk away while talking about the plan.
I turn to look at the boys and sweat-dropped at their current condition.

I kneel down in between them with my hands on my knees. "Are... you guys okay?" I said. They just grunt in respond. I let out a huff and shakes my head at the boys' acting. I turn my head to look at where Katara and Toph are walking to. I hope they won't get into any trouble.

"Do you think this scam of theirs should be taking this long?" I said to no one in particular. It's been a few hours since Toph and Katara went off to do their 'ultimate' scam. But until now, they show no sign of showing up... and I'm starting to get pretty worried.
Aang turns to look at me. "I was just wondering the same thing. We'd better check it out" he said. Sokka just nods his head in agreement. He turns to the lemurs and his hawk. "You two behave, Appa's in charge" he said. Then the three of us heads to town.
A While Later
"Where do you think they might be?" Sokka said. I look around the place, wondering why it's so empty. "Where do you think anyone is?" I said. We keep on walking, trying to search for our friends.
"Y/N! Sokka! Watch out!!" Aang suddenly said. He grabs our hands and pulls out away. We look up at a building to see the same man that's been chasing us. "It's Sparky-Sparky-Boom Man!" He said.
"You know, I'm starting to think that name doesn't quite fit" Sokka said. I turn to look at him. "What's more fit right now is that we run!!" I said. We get up from our hiding spot and runs away.
The man shoots again, we barely dodge it the second time. We hide behind a wheelbarrow, trying to think what we are going to do next.
"This guy is too good! He shoots fire from his brain!" Sokka said. "We should split up. He can't chase us both" Aang said. Sokka and I nod our heads. We quickly went separate ways.
I feel an explosion behind me, which sends me off balance. I turn my head and notice the man going after Aang. He blows at the roof, which sends Aang flying towards the statue.
"Aang!" I yelled. But before the man could blow at him, an ice appear one his head. I turn my head to the source to see Katara. "Aang, Y/N! Get up!!" She said. She helps Aang up, while Sokka helps me. We run away from there. I turn my head just in time to see Toph using earth-bending at the man.
The man stands up, looking angry. He tries to blow another explosion, but it explodes right by him. I turn my head to look forward and keep running.
"Hey, I got it! The perfect name for that guy: "Combustion Man!"" Sokka said, as we are running away. "Good job, Sokka. Now let's get outta here before Combustion Man catches us" Toph said. Sokka looks proud at what he said. "See? It fits so well!" He said. I just shake my head and giggles softly.
Night-time
We decide to just sleep on Appa's back. Just in case that Combustion Man is after us, we can instantly fly away. I lay down next to Aang. I stare at the sky.
It's been weeks since I lost my bending... and I've been struggling so hard. I feel so useless without them. I can only hope that they'll come back someday. I can't do anything without them... let alone help Aang defeat the Fire Lord, I can't even protect myself.
"Y/N..." Aang said. I turn my head to look at him. "Are you still worried about your bending?" He said. I just give him a small smile. "You just know me so well, Aang..." I said. He lets out a chuckle. He place his hand under my head and pulls me closer.
"Of course... you're my sister. I will always know when something is bothering you" he said. I just lean my head on his shoulder and sighs. "Will they ever come back?" I said. He nods his head. "They will... I'm sure they will. We just have to figure out how to bring them back" he said. I just nod my head at his attempt to sooth me. I close my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep.
