Disclaimer: I do not own the show Avatar: The Last Air Bender or the related characters. Nor do I profit from this fanfiction. Nothing is of my creation until later chapters (like the next one), and will be noted then.
A/N: I'm planning to have this story be part of a story arc. If this story goes well and gets good reviews, I'll work on the other stories in the arc. I will state in the summaries of the other stories, when I write them, that they are apart of the 'New Allies' story arc.

Three human figures walked through the forests on the boarders of an area that was a part of the Earth Nation. One was around fifteen. His name was Sokka; he claimed himself to be a warrior and had a love for food. Another was around fourteen. Her name was Katara; she was a water-bender and was probably the most sensible in the group. The third was one hundred-twelve. His name was Aang; he was the last Air Bender and had the Air Bender tattoos to prove it. He was the Avatar.
There were two animals with them, as well. One was a winged lemur named Momo. He liked to eat nuts and berries. The other was much larger than Momo. He was a flying bison named Appa. He had an arrow on his head like Aang. The three humans and the two animals had just been to the North Pole and were on their way to Omashu. They had been walking since after dawn and had only broke for lunch. It was nearing time for another break. "Hey, guys? Are we going to stop and eat soon?" Sokka asked, "I'm hungry. And tired. I don't know why you're making me carry this pack. Appa was perfectly content carrying it himself."
"Sokka, you know why you're carrying it. It has all our food! When Appa was carrying it, you'd fall behind us and sneak food out of it. You may not realize it, but we're running short on food," Katara sighed.
"Well, we can just buy more. That simple," Sokka shrugged.
"We're running out of money, too. We'll just have to think of something to do," Katara said.
Aang, who had remained quiet during the siblings' discussion realized something. "Warriors often are also hunters. I'm sure that there are some animals nearby that you could eat. Sokka could go out and find something you could eat. I'd have to find something different because I don't eat meat, but I'm sure I can find something else," Aang suggested.
"That's a great idea, Aang! Warriors are hunters. I've been seeing hoof prints in the ground all along. There's bound to be something out there. Sokka can go and find meat while Aang and I look for some berries or something," Katara said.
"Sounds good. I'll go get meat and you two will get veggies. We can finally have a meal that is halfway decent. Well, I've got my boomerang. It will be easier to travel without it, so I'll leave this pack here," Sokka put the pack down, "Well, I'm off. Because of my great talent with anything involving weapons, I'll be back in an hour with the meat."
Sokka walked off proudly. "He's not going to be back in an hour, is he?" asked Aang.
"No. It will probably be three hours before he's back," Katara stated, "The berries would start to whither before he gets back, so we shouldn't get them now. I'm going to set up the tents."
"Want to know something funny?" Aang asked and Katara nodded, "We actually could have bought plenty of food. I found a sack of money a while ago. I guess I just forgot about it."
"Well, lets see how Sokka does at hunting. If he's any good at it, we can save our money for when we actually need it," Katara said.
"Yeah," Aang agreed, "The nearest market was too far out of the way anyway."

This is my first Avatar fanfic. Review and I'll comment on it at the end of the next chapter. I'm hoping to get reviews... I really like reviews. I do realize that I may not get good reviews yet, though. There isn't a lot to the story yet, but it gets better. Just wait, in about two days time...
A bit about the next chapter: We cut to Sokka attempting to use his great hunting abilities. He finds something that could be food, but there are some issues.
