Summary: Avatar: The Real Story is about a 14 year old Avatar: The Last Airbender fan girl named Isabella (AKA Izzy) and her three best friends in the year 2012. The Avatar cycle is mysteriously changed at the Avatar World and the new Avatar is born in our world, but it takes 100 yrs to develop the Avatar spirit in this world. Isabella finds out shes the new avatar, her friends help her and teleport to the Avatar world. The Avatar world is not exactly the same of the show. There are a few things I've changed. But the Asian cultures of the show hasn't been changed much. But there is a reason for those big changes. The reason is that it'll be too much of a coincidence that the world is exactly the same to the show when the group teleports to the world and because it'll be kind of boring to read something you know that's going to happen, so there is scenes that never happened in the show but most of the episodes of the show is the base of most of the chapters in the story, it's just some different scenes, but there'll be a good amount of chapters I made myself. And because it's a chance to introduce some new cultures and use my imagination. Don't worry that the original story will be ruined, if I change an episode or scene, I'll always try my best to make the scene even better and funnier, and I'm NOT gonna do the same that M. Night Shyamalan did with his movie. Also, the characters of the show will appear in this story. Aang's not the Avatar this time. This story will have 4 Books or 5 Books, I haven't decided yet. The pairings you all know and love will not be too active in the 1st book, but fear not, it will happen eventually and you have some other good romance in this that'll hopefully be to your liking.

Four Rings, Four Friends, and Farewells; Part 1 - Chapter 1

Isabella's POV (normal)          
          
     "Ugh! Play! Stupid DVD!" She exclaimed. Isabella is kneeling in front of a DVD player with a 45" flat screen TV hovering over her head inserting a scratched up DVD from an Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 3 DVD case, that she bought two years ago. She had all the Avatar DVDs and even the DVDs from the The Last Airbender saga, even though she didn't like the movies.

"Isabella, those DVDs are all scratched up. It was like that for a year." Her mom called out to her from the kitchen, speaking spanish."Stop trying. Why don't you buy another set from EBay?" Her mother suggested. Her mother always spoke to her in spanish, it was more easier for her...since she always spoke spanish back when she was still living in Lima, Peru. So Isabella always trys to speak spanish, and sometimes even spanglish, so it would be easier for her mom.

"No, Mom. These DVDs are hard to find ANYWHERE, even on EBay. And the ones I do find cost way too much." Isabella responded back in spanish."It's like they banned big fans of Avatar, like me, from watching any more of that AWESOME cartoon!".

She was already starting to forget all the episodes and characters from the show. She always loved watching it, but since a year ago, the DVDs stop working. She was devastated. She watched Avatar: The Legend of Korra, which made her feel better, but it was just a mini-series.

"Hey Mimi!" Isabella called her friend, Mishale, with her phone, the next morning.

"Hey Izzy, What's up?"

"You wanna come over my house with your brother?" she asked,"So we can hang out just the four of us, I'm calling Nikki over so she could also come."

Mishale and her brother, Tedio, were fraternal twins. Both Gemini. She knows lots about the zodiac signs and she knew Geminis don't get along with her sign, which is Taurus. She wondered why they were still friends, for seven years straight, since Isabella was seven years old. The twins were one year older than her. But they're friendship is strong.

"Sure Izzy, I'll see you in about an hour, 'kay?"

"'kay."

They hung up simultaneously.

Isabella used to have a crush on Tedio, after the gift he gave her on her 8th birthday. A big teddy bear. It was stupid and at first she didn't like it but the next day she found herself snuggling with the teddy. She kept it ever since. But her small 'crush' she had on him faded away maybe around the last day of 6th grade. He was just a childhood crush. That didn't stop her from hugging it every night, remembering the good times the trio had together.

Isabella picked up the phone again and started dialing.

After a couple rings, the phone answered.

"Hey Fizzy!" Her friend Nicola answered in a mocking tone.

"Don't call me that!" Isabella whined.

"Ha ha ha.'Kay!" she giggled." So why you called?"

"Nikki, could you come over my house in like an hour?"

"Sure Izz!" Nicola said in a optimistic tone."BTW... Did you go to that movie yesterday, the one I told you about the last time I called?"

"Ugh, I forgot. I guess I wasn't paying attention." She sighed.

"Oh well. I'll see you in an hour, Izzy. Bye!" she giggled in a girly way.

Izzy sighed." Ok.Bye." She said plainly. She rolled her eyes even though Nicola couldn't see it.

They hung up.

Nicola is too girly for her but she doesn't care. She's fun to be around with sometimes, except when  Nikki starts talking about which purse goes with which outfit and which eyeshadow color brings out the color in her eyes and she giggles too often and crap like that. But she's fun to talk to on other topics. The thing is that she's a Sagittarius. They don't get along with Tauruses either. Maybe Astrology isn't right all the time. They were friends for two years.

She had a reason for calling her three best friends over. She was moving to France for a couple years because her mom found this big job that pays her and her husband, Isabella's step father, Jose, and they were paying them 50 dollars each hour for 10 hours. That's 500 dollars a day! That's a lot, and it's almost unbelievable. But Jose's friend is working there and he has a huge mansion in Paris. So it isn't a trick or anything. And it's a very great opportunity for the small family.But Isabella will miss her friends so much. She doesn't have much friends 'cause she a bit antisocial so it'll be hard to find friends in France. So she's calling her besties over to have fun on the last day being here in North Carolina. She already said her farewells to her other friends by phone. Her baggage is already packed. There's no turning back; Tomorrow she's going to France.

'I guess I have to get dressed. And put on some make-up before my friends come.' She thought to herself. She walked over to her mirror.'Well I look nice with my pretty eyes, my pretty lips, my tanned skin... my fat cheeks...my fat nose...my dry skin... my dry curly hair with split ends...' She thought to herself insecurely and sarcastically,'And my dark, hairy arms for being in the sun all day ...my fat belly ...ugh...' she sighed. Of course she exaggerated on some stuff but her self-esteem is too low to notice the good stuff about her.

"I look horrible." She said out loud. Her mom was passing by the bedroom door when she heard that. She is always telling her stubborn daughter how beautiful she looked but Isabella ignores her because she knows her mom is just doing that to make her feel better.

Her mom got furious." Isabella! How many times do i have to tell you that you look beautiful!" She yelled at her in spanish.'That's what moms are supposed to say.' She thought. She rolled her eyes and her mom took a step closer." Look, you have beautiful eyes with admirably long eyelashes, full and flirtatious lips, beautifully long curly hair, and you have attractive curves. And I SWEAR I'm not lying! I don't see what your complaining about! When I was your age..." 'Oh no' "I had nothing! I wished I had a body like yours back then! But even with an ugly body, I was still confident of myself. You should be happy with what you have!Be confident!" she said firmly, glaring straight at Isabella's annoyed eyes, speaking in spanish of course.

" But I'm fat mom. Therefore, I'm ugly." She answered simply. She had this conversation too often with her. She was always bullied in middle school because her mean classmates kept telling her she was fat and ugly in many insulting ways. She was stupid enough to believe that what they said was true. She was too innocent and sweet back then and she let herself get abused verbally by bullies. She didn't know how to defend herself at all. Neither assertively or aggressively.

" Ugh!" Her mom clamored in frustration. She stomped away madly. She acted like an angry teenager when she's frustrated with Isabella.

'I get her anger too regularly. Oh well, I guess I should apologize' Isabella thought unsurely.' But AFTER I get dressed.'

Isabella's POV (absolute)

I had 15 minutes left before my friends come over. I put on my fave blue blouse with a sentence stating "Love your enemies, It'll make 'em crazy.". Then I wore some normal jeans. And I put on my most favorite necklace that my mom bought me (even though I don't deserve it). The necklace is a blue ribbon choker made with a large, circular granite pendant in the middle with the Yin and Yang sign on it made of two gems. One side of it was made of Fire Opal, which is a bright fire-like orange color, and on the other side is was a beautiful transparent white gem, when it's put in the light it shines up with many soft colors. It was called the Moonlight Topaz. My most desirable and beloved gem in my world. It reminded me of the Water Tribe in my fave series. I'm  such a big Water Tribe fan! But I admit, I also love the Earth Kingdom... since I'm a Taurus and Tauruses love the color green 'cause Earth is our elemental sign.... Earth is a stubborn element and As a matter of fact, I AM stubborn.

I heard two cars come down my driveway, so I slipped on my highest heels (Tedio is 6"4' tall and I don't like feeling short around any of my friends.I'm 5'6".) and ran out (almost tripping) to greet my friends.

They laughed at my clumsiness.

Mimi was wearing a orange and yellow tie dye shirt and some short-shorts looking as skinny as usual. Tedio was wearing a red T-shirt with a sentence saying 'Silence is golden but duct tape is silver.' and a picture of a guy tied up to a chair with a duct tape on his mouth. I rolled my eyes. And Nikki was wearing a frilly green blouse. And a cute miniskirt.

"Hey guys!" I said in a cheerful tone.

They greeted back.

"So why you called us here all of the sudden?" Mimi asked with curiosity in her voice.

"I have bad news and good news..." I said slowly, afraid of what will be their reaction.

"What's the bad news?"

"IammovingtoFrancefortwoyears..." I said quickly.

"WHAT?!" Everyone screamed. I flinched.

"Wait.. What's the good news?" Tedio asked optimistically.

" I get to practice my french I've been learning in high school!" I laughed nervously.

Everyone glared at my as if saying 'This is not the moment to joke'.

"I'm sorry guys but we can hang out today before I go tomorrow..." I said disconsolately.

"Ok, I guess..." The twins said unsurely. Nicola said nothing but nodded her head.

Isabella's POV (normal)-

Everyone had fun that day, they went to the skating rink, Izzy pushed Tedio into the neighborhood's pool (Which seemed hilarious to Isabella and the others, but not to Tedio, He's always being playfully picked on by one of the girls), watched a movie from a nearby theater after Tedio changed his soaked clothes, and ended the day by hiking in a forest near Isabella's home where she always went to when she's bored.

But something happened during their hike... something weird.

Everyone was walking and Isabella was getting hyper(Like always) and acting as silly as ever when the sun started to set so the Quad decided to go back...and before they knew it, they were lost.

"Izzy! We have to get back soon!" Nicola exclaimed.

"Admit it, we are lost..." Mishale said.

"Yup we are..." Isabella said disappointingly.

Everyone groaned in despair.

"I thought you said you knew the place by heart!" Tedio yelled.

"I did! I've been hiking here for years! I don't know how I got lost!" Isabella yelled back.

An hour later of walking, they saw a large clearing in from in between the trees.

"Look! I think we've made it!" Isabella screeched excitedly as she galloped toward the clearing.

Isabella exited from the trees expecting to see a grassy plain with a street at the other side, where they started. But it was only a grassy plain in the middle of the never-ending forest... and there was  a strange boulder with a flat top, right in the center of the clearing. Isabella sighed. But she was curious about the boulder. She recognized it from somewhere. But definitely not during a normal hike in these woods.

"It's nothing, let's go to another direction" Mishale said.

But Isabella ignored her and went toward the peculiar boulder. There seemed to be four tiny items on top of the boulder. They were four rings. She smiled greatly and knowingly.'Now I know where I've seen this...' she thought mysteriously.

The others stared at her wondering why she was grinning.

Isabella lightly grabbed the rings and looked at them.'It looks just like the ones in my dreams' she thought smiling more. The rings were made of pure gold with odd carvings on it and each of them had a different oval shaped gem attached to it. One of them had a Aventurine stone on it, the next one was a Sky Topaz, the third was a Fire Opal, and the fourth ring was a...

"A...A Moonlight Topaz!" she whispered loudly. Her eyes was full of elation, like a toddler in a field piled with endless candy and toys.

"W-What is it?" Tedio said anxiously.

"I-I've seen th-these before!" Isabella stuttered with glee."I've seen them in my...dreams! I can't believe these are real!"

"What dreams?" Nicola asked.

"These strange dreams I keep dreaming since I was in 3rd grade! About four rings and four friends. And other stuff..." she sputtered out. She didn't want to say much about it.

She put on the Sky Topaz ring. It lit up very lightly. She expected that would happen. Her friends gasped in amusement. Then she put on the Fire Opal ring after taking off the previous one. It lit up slightly brighter than the other one. Her friends kept staring at her with gaped mouths and widened eyes. After taking off that ring she wore the Aventurine one as shone brighter than the last one. She then took it off, smiled, and slowly slid the Moonlight Topaz ring onto her finger as it lit up the brightest. She kept it on, grinning.

"LET ME TRY!" Her friends exclaimed simultaneously.

All of them slid them on, one by one. But it didn't lit up for them. Only one lit up for each teen. The Fire Opal lit up for Tedio, The Sky Topaz lit up for Mishale, and the Aventurine lit up for Nicola.

"Keep the ones that lit up for you. Keep it on everyday." Isabella said suddenly, with a knowing smile on her face.

"Why?" They all asked.

"You'll all see when the time comes." she replied calm and wisely.

They all looked at her with curious faces.

"Lets go this way." she said pointing east.

The Quad went that direction back into the trees and after a few minutes, they were back at her house. Unbelievably quick.

When everyone said their farewells they left back to their homes, Isabella plopped down onto her bed and slept with a smile on her face. She knew was what was going to happen to her and her friends in the future. Her life long dream will finally come true.
