FLASHBACK(3 Years Ago)

'Stop moving around so much Al,' Samuel laughed in amusement as he tried to get his little brother ready for bed.

Alex stopped jumping and turned to his big brother with a giggle. 'I can't help it Sam, I'm so excited! Tomorrow, I'll finally be allowed to go out with the whole family, meet new people, make new friends.'

Samuel caught him and carried him on his shoulder. 'Well, tomorrow will come much quicker if you go to sleep.'

Alex giggled and place his hands on Samuel's head. 'Make me fly! Fly like an aeroplane, like a superhero!'

'If I do, will you promise to finally go to bed?'

'Erm....'

'Allie?'

'Alright fine, I promise. Now vroom!'

Samuel chuckled and held him tightly. 'No, a car goes vroom. An aeroplane goes WHEE!'

Alex sat up in the bed and shot him a glare. 'Are you forgetting something?'

'Of course not, how could I possibly forget storytime? Which story would you like me to read?'

'Avatar: The Last Airbender!'

Samuel chuckled at him. 'Again? Why don't you ask for something else, I always read you Avatar.'

Alex shook his head firmly. 'No! It's my favourite book.'

Samuel sighed and picked up the book, sliding into bed beside him. 'It's not even a proper book. It's a comic book.'

Alex glared at him. 'So?'

'Alright, alright fine,' Samuel chortled, opening the comic. 'No need to give me such a dirty look. Once upon a time the four nations lived together in harmony, then everything changed when the fire nation attacked...'
