Book 1, Episode 1: We are FINALLY let out of the Iceberg
I had the worst dreams last night, or …. Past 100 years of nights. I'm not really sure what happened. I'll get to that stuff some other time. Anyway, there I am dreaming about flying through tornados and trying not to get hit by lightning because Aang got a Boar-Q-Pine quill up his butt about something or other. Probably didn't get that new glider he wanted. Then all of a sudden there's this blinding light. I mean BLINDING! White everywhere. It was nuts. And Aang is all "APPA! Get up!" and it was like 'Dude, just let me sleep a little longer ok? I'm tired." I mean, a flying bison needs his sleep. He can't be expected to fly around day after day with no sleep you know? But since Aang was so insistent, I got up. It's a really good thing for him that I love him so much. Stupid kid.
Then I realized it was cold. Weirdly cold. We were south somewhere, only I don't really remember actually going south, and there are these two weird kids. The strange looking one was making fun of Aang. I considered stepping on him briefly but then I had to sneeze. Perfect aim. It'll take him hours to clean up all that snot.
Aang seemed to be getting along with the pretty one at least. She seemed to be sticking up for him while the other one just kept trying to poke Aang with his stabby thing. I swear, if he would have poked Aang with that thing one more time I was gonna drown him. Apparently their names are Sokka and Katara. Sokka being the stabby jerk. Aang must be getting a cold because he sneezed too. Maybe we both were in the ice a little too long, who knows? So after Aang sneezed, genius Katara figures out Aang is an airbender. How dim can you get? I mean, dude, he's wearing monk's robes, has airbender tattoos and I AM A FLYING BISON! Get a clue!
Well apparently we were all stranded on this ice chunk. So, of course, Aang being Aang, he volunteers me to be the bus patrol. I don't think he realized I was tired. So the two new kids climbed up to my saddle and Aang says his usual command to let me know it's safe to go of "Yip yip!" and I tried. Really, I did. But again, I need sleep dude. I settled for swimming. They should just be glad I didn't take Aang only and leave them stranded. Not that Aang would ever let me do that. Call me a fluffy snot monster. Stupid looking jerk.
I think Aang might be developing a crush on the Katara girl. This could be bad. But he did lie to her. He said he didn't know the Avatar, but he is the avatar. I need to remember to ask him what is going on. I get he doesn't want to be, but still.
So we finally got to Katara's village and I finally got to go to sleep. When I woke up, Aang was showing off for the whole village. The whole 15 people that make up the village. Tiny place. The little ones are fun though. They made a pile of snow behind me and used my tail as a slide. Even I had fun with that. Then of course stupid Sokka had to try to ruin all the fun. "We don't have time for fun and games. We have to become warriors." Stupid kid. Only thing he's ever going to hurt is a cooked fish. Though he did mention this war thing. Later Aang went off and played with Katara and some penguins and when he got back he was all depressed. Apparently we were asleep for 100 years. Don't know how, but we were. I don't know what happened when Aang was away, but he and Katara ran back to the village like a saber-tooth-moose-lion was after them.
