P.O.E. Island
Chapter 1
Appa-Wrecked
The world settled in peace. After the war, the avatar and his 'gaang' had split and traveled to their homes and lived there, without seeing each other for years. Now, you may be wondering, what about Mai and Zuko, and Sokka and Suki? Zuko, before becoming firelord, was dumped by the terribly bored Mai. Zuko didn't have his heart broken, but that was an awkward moment for each of them. Sokka and Suki, on the other hand, was still going strong.
Katara, Sokka and Suki sat in a circle around a fire. They had received a letter from the avatar, which they haven't seen in years. Why now of all times? Four years and no hearing from him, and now this? Katara thought, annoyed by the sudden letter. She stopped and looked up at the two lovebirds. Sokka had gotten taller, more muscular, and had a small beard starting to grow. Suki grew too, her body trimmer and more balance, her cheeks more defined. Her red hair fell to her shoulders, loose and flowing. Katara had gotten taller herself, also less girlish and more woman-y. She had kept her hair the same way, not a bit longer. She scowled, and looked back at the paper. "What's it say?" Sokka asked, looking at the paper. "Who's it from?"
"Aang, he wants us to meet him in Ba-Sing-Se." She replied, crossing her arms. She stood swiftly. "Let's get pacing then." She said, rushing into a small nearby tent, the warm air greeting her like a loving hug from an old friend. She smiled softly and went about packing her clothes.
Across the world, the same letter reached the Bei Fong's residence. The servants rushed it up to Toph, knocking on her door. "What." Demanded a harsh but sweet female voice.
"Miss Toph..." The servant whispered, "A letter arrived from the avatar.
"..." Silence thickened the hall. The door opened and a small, slender hand reached out and pulled the servant in. "Read it to me."
"A reunion, huh?" the blind girl pondered the idea of going to Ba-sing-se for a while, her bangs sweeping over her eyes. She, like the others had grown. She had a very womanly body, her waist small and slim. Her hair fell to her waist like an ebony curtain. "So, if Twinkletoes wants me to meet him, I will." She sighed, standing. She wore a green nightdress, stopping at her knees. She stood, bag in hand. "You shouldn't tell my parents?'Kay?"
"Yes Miss Toph."
"Good." Toph replied, sticking her legs out the window. "Oh and thanks." She smiled brightly.
How out of character. The maid thought.
Zuko had received the letter, too, but had already been in Ba-Sing-Se for a personal vacation. He hadn't changed a lot, though he got taller, he kept his boyish looks. He had no idea where the house was. He'd have to find out, sooner or later. He looked through the hustle and bustle of the city, so many people that global warning seemed like a bomb of heat.
A few days later, the gaang had all met in the old house. Well, most of them, Aang and Toph hadn't arrived just yet. After saying hello to Zuko, they waited for a while before becoming restless. Suddenly, just as about Katara was going to say something about it, the wall a few feet from the door and Toph walked through. Typical Katara thought.
"I always forget the door." Toph's very slender voice rang out. When the dust settled, though, the girl in the door looked too much different to be Toph. Her slender body was dressed in a long emerald dress with a slit, showing a pale leg. Her skin was porcelain white with makeup on her high cheek bones. Her hair was in a sloppy bun, flowers in the front. Her bangs hid her pale green eyes.
The only sound was two jaws hitting the floor. Followed by the hollow punch on an arm. She smiled, "What are you all looking at?"
Aang flew in about an hour later. He looked them over. "Well, you guys have changed." He smiled. "Aang." Katara said, "What's this about?" Aang sat down with them. "I want to take you on a road trip, just like old times." He said, smiling again.
"Twinkles, is that all this is about." Toph hissed. Aang frowned. "Guys. It's been a long time. Really." He said, "Just join me? Please?" They sighed, nodding.
Later, on Appa, they sat in silence. "Twinkles, where are we heading?" Toph demanded, clutching the saddle. "Umm..." Aang thought for a moment. He had been so lonely he hadn't thought of that. He looked around pathetically and the widespread ocean. "It's uhhh... Surprise?" He faked smiled, looking back. Suddenly Appa started to shake. Aang frowned, "What's wrong buddy?" He asked, patting the animals head. All at once, the started to fall into the ocean. Before they were in the water, he saw a small island, bigger than tiny, smaller then whale Tail Island, though. Not by much, however.
In the water, Aang told them to swim toward the sunset. About an hour of swimming later, the tired Gaang and a sick Appa washed up on a deserted island.
Or what was thought of as a deserted island.
