The Gaang had been walking for hours now, without stopping. They were starting to get tired and annoyed, especially Sokka.
"Are we there yet?" he whined for the seventeenth time.
Katara rolled her eyes. "Do you see a giant iceberg in front of you? Or even any water?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure if it's real or not."
Toph stared. "Have you been drinking cactus water again? Because I think you're starting to hallucinate."
"That's what happens when I'm hungry," he said.
Aang sighed. "I'm still not used to not having Appa around. I hope he's not lonely."
Katara smiled sympathetically at him. "We did the right thing, leaving him behind. He had a broken leg. The Kyoshi Warriors will take good care of him. And besides, he has Suki and Momo with him."
"Yeah," Aang said, but the others could tell that he was distant.
Toph stopped. "How long have we been in this desert? I hate not seeing!" As if to prove her point, she crashed into Zuko.
"Watch where you're going, Twinkle Toes!" Toph demanded.
"Um, I'm not Aang. I'm Zuko."
Toph turned red. "Oh. Sorry."
Zuko turned to Katara. "Will you at least tell us where we're going?" he said exasperatedly.
"I did. Six times. There have been sightings of a legendary lost Water Tribe called the Iceberg Tribe. We're going to the last place it was spotted so that we can find the lost tribe. Ever since the Dai Li showed up again, we've been found everywhere. It's like when Azula was tracking us down—we can't get a break!"
"And your point is?" Sokka interrupted.
Katara glared. "My point is, I have an old childhood friend who lives in that very Iceberg Tribe. I think that she can help us. She also runs a small hotel in the Earth Kingdom. Supposedly, the Iceberg is currently docked right next to it. Either way, we're bound to find her there."
Suddenly, a town appeared in the distance. "There it is!" Katara shouted. "Everyone, to Watearth City!"
