2. Stranded

Katara opened her eyes and looked at a beautiful blue sky. Then she remembered the explosion. She looked around and saw a small figure lying a few feet away. She got up and walked towards it. It was Toph.

''Toph, Toph wake up!'' ''W-w-what's going on?'' ''I don't know. I just woke up and saw you lying right here.'' ''And the others? Where are they?'' Katara sighed. ''Maybe they are somewhere around here. C'mon, let's go looking for them.'' She pulled Toph up and they started walking around the beach.

''Ouch, my head.'' Ty lee started walking. Where was she? Where were Azula and Mai? Her clothes were all wet. She climbed upon a rock. ''Uh…hello! Is there someone who can help me? My hand is stuck.'', she heard. Maybe it was someone who could help her finding here friends, telling her where she was! She ran over the rocks and saw the man who was yelling for help. ''General Iroh, is that you?'' ''Uh, yes. Hey, you're my niece's friend. Ty lynn, right?'' ''No, it's Ty Lee.'' ''I'll try to remember. But could you please help me?'' ''Alright then.'' Ty Lee pulled Iroh's hand out of the rocks. ''Ah, thank you that's much better.'' ''Okay, but where are we. It looks like an Island'' ''Where would my nephew be? And of course everybody else.''

Katara and Toph were still walking. ''Geez, it's hot here!'' Toph said. ''Katara, can I have some water?'' ''Sure,'' Katara bended some water out of the ocean, ''here you go. Don't worry, there's no salt in it.'' ''Thank you.'' ''Hey, what's that over there?'' ''How should I know? I'm blind, remember'' ''Sorry. It's two people firebending.'' They ran towards them. It were Zuko and Azula.

''Look Zuzu, there's your girlfriend!'' ''She's not my girlfriend! And don't call me like that!'' ''Heey you to,'' Katara shouted, ''stop it! We need to work together to find the rest!'' Azula stopped fighting. ''The water girl is right. I have to find Mai and Ty Lee.'' ''And uncle.'' Zuko said. ''Yeah, yeah, what ever.'' Suddenly they heard some sound coming out of the bushes next to the beach. It was Sokka. Katara ran towards him and gave him a big hug. ''Never ever think I'm going to do that to you, Zuzu.'' Azula said. Zuko's face turned red. ''Never ever think I want you to do that to me!'' he shouted. ''Sokka, have you seen Aang?'' Katara asked. ''No, shall we go and look for him?'' ''Yeah, that's a good idea. Are you all coming with us?'' ''Duh,'' Toph said, ''what else should I do?'' ''I'm coming to.'' Zuko said.''I want to find Uncle.'' ''And I need to find Ty Lee and Mai.'' They all started walking.

''Phoew, it's hot here, don't you think?'' Iroh whipped some sweat from his head. ''Yeah, how long would it be before we'll meet the others? I'm so bored.'' ''Wow Ty Lee, is that really you complaining?'' someone said. Iroh and Ty Lee looked behind them. ''Mai!'' Ty Lee ran towards her friend and gave her a hug. ''C'mon girls, we need to keep walking.'' Iroh said. He was sick of not knowing were Zuko was. ''Exscuse me, sir,'' Mai asked Iroh,'' do you have any Idea were we are?'' ''No, young lady, I really don't.''

''Momo, Momo, where are you!'' Aang was searching for his lemur for over two hours now. ''Ah, there you are.'' Momo's head was stuck in the sand. Aang picked him up. ''Well buddy, it's only you and me right now.'' The airbender putted his pet on his shoulder and he started walking.

Sokka, Katara, Toph, Azula and Zuko were still walking. They almost said nothing. There was nothing to talk about. The only thing they saw where the white beach, the wonderful blue sky, the beautiful blue sea and a forest. The sun was burning on their heads. Even the two fire benders haven't been in a place where it was this hot. ''Alright, I think it's time for a break. Who wants some water?'' Katara bended some water out of the sea. Everyone wanted some. ''Heey,'' Zuko suddenly said,''there are the other!'' Everyone looked back to the point Zuko was pointing at. And yes, there were Iroh, Mai and Ty Lee. Zuko immediately ran towards Iroh and Mai and Ty Lee towards Azula. After a few minutes Aang showed up. ''Excuse me, everyone,'' Aang shouted to get the attention,'' does someone of you have any clue of where we are?'' ''No, but I think we should go into the forest to find something to eat and a place to sleep.'' Iroh said. Everyone agreed. They walked into the forest. Where were they, was it an island or just a piece of land not completely surrounded by water. There was only one thing sure, they were stranded.
