How does one destroy an entire race? You can't. It's impossible. No one is perfect, no one can know everything, and no one can get rid of every trace. Everyone always errors, misses a detail, or forgets. This is the story of one Air Nomad who was left behind.

Summary: A double date? With these four? What was I thinking? I blame the brain damage! Warning: I break the 4th wall; OOCness galore; mention of 4th degree burns, crotchety old people and cute butts… oh and mild swearing by Zuko-hence the T.

Running away wasn't the answer for Aang: it would still leave him separated from Gyatso. His decision to stay will have consequences.

What if, when Zuko was trying to teach Aang a lesson on Ember Island… someone got hurt?
