Chapter 2 is up! I'm so proud of myself for actually getting up the second chapter this quickly. We're almost to the amazing vacation! Enjoy!
Dislaimer: I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender.
Zuko was waiting outside of the palace a week later waiting for everyone to arrive so they could start their vacation. He had his arm around Mai who was cuddling into him as they saw the sky bison's shadow against the sun.
"Aang's here," Zuko said as the bison touched the ground. On the bison were the original gaang, Aang, Sokka, Katara, and Toph.
"I forgot how much I hate flying," Toph mumbled as she quickly got off of Appa. She walked over to where Zuko was standing and punched him in the arm. "What up, Zuko?" she asked as Zuko flinched.
"Hey, only I can do that," Mai said as she too punched Zuko in the arm.
"Ow. Mai, one of your knives got me," yelled Zuko as he was rubbing the scratch on his arm.
"Oh! I'm sorry. Will this make you feel better?" she asked while pulling his chin towards her face and kissing him passionately.
"Yep, I'm feeling better already," Zuko said, smiling at Mai.
"I've only been here ten seconds and already Mr. and Mrs. Fire Lord are making out!" Toph said annoyed. Zuko and Mai blushed.
Katara and Sokka approached them. Katara went up to Zuko and hugged while Sokka slapped him on the back.
"How's my favorite fire lord doing?" Sokka asked enthusiastically.
"I would be better if people stopped hitting me," Zuko answered as he glared at everyone. They all just broke out laughing.
Just then, the Kyoshi warriors rounded the corner. You could barely recognize them because neither of them were wearing the make up or fighting outfits.
"Suki!" Sokka yelled as he ran towards her and gave her a huge hug. "I missed you!"
"Uh, Sokka? It's only been two days," Suki said while being suffocated by Sokka's hug.
"I know! That's just too long!" he said before pulling her in for a kiss.
"Mmm. You're right, Sokka, that is too long," Suki agreed as they kissed again.
Meanwhile, Ty Lee was running at full speed towards Zuko and Mai. When she was five feet from them she did a double back tuck and landed right in front of them.
"Mai! I've missed you so much!" she said while embracing Mai.
"Me too. You haven't changed a bit. You're still the energetic circus freak," she said while she hugged her friend.
"Yep, that's me!" Ty Lee said happily.
"Hey, everybody!" Aang said as he finally joined the group.
They heard a bird call in the distance.
"That just has to be-"Sokka said looking up.
"Jet," Katara finished for him as Jet, Longshot, Smellerbee, The Duke, and Pipsqueak walked up to them. Katara gave him a hug. "It's good to see you alive."
"Was I dead?"he asked her.
"Well, no. But when you said that you'd be fine, Toph said that you were lying," Katara explained to him.
"That's because I thought I was going to die, but Longshot and Smellerbee helped me recover," Jet said to her.
"Yeah, I know, but I had to see it to believe it," she said.
"Hey, Toph," said The Duke as Toph turned around and smiled at him.
Everyone caught up with each other for a few minutes before Zuko announced that it was time get on Appa and go to the island. Everyone cheered as they grabbed their bags and climbed onto Appa.
"It will take roughly two days to get there, so we'll be on Appa for a while," Zuko explained.
"No!" Toph groaned.
"It'll be alright, Toph," The Duke comforted her.
After everyone finally got settled, Appa took off from the ground began flying.
"Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. Do not stand up during the ride, and try not to move around the vehicle too much because you might set off the balance. Thank you and enjoy the ride," Aang said while everyone laughed. "I'm serious, you know?"
Everyone started chatting immediately. The saddle on Appa was a little cramped but everyone had just enough room.
As it got darker, Aang pulled out about five huge blankets that he kept in the saddle because they used to sleep on Appa all the time while traveling.
The warriors save Suki and Ty Lee shared one blanket. There were ten other warriors whose names were Mori, Zella, Kanda, Uo, Anya, Nami, Setsu, Rae, Hana, and Mizu.
Zuko and Mai were under a blanket with Ty Lee a few feet away to let them have privacy. Toph and The Duke were at the other side of the blanket.
At another blanket were Katara, Aang, Sokka, and Suki. Each couple sleeping at a side of the blanket.
Jet and the rest of the Freedom Fighters were under another blanket. The extra blanket was placed randomly among the group, but it moved quite a lot because it occasionally landed on someone's head who then threw it somewhere else.
Eventually, everyone fell asleep.
The next morning, Appa landed so that everyone could get up, stretch, and take care of other things. They had an hour.
Sokka and Suki found a nice, dark cave where they could make out.
Toph and The Duke took a walk holding each other's hands.
Aang and Katara stayed with Appa and were brushing him while he took a short a nap.
Zuko and Mai were walking by a little beach they had found.
The freedom Fighters were sitting down not far from Appa.
Ty Lee was teaching the Kyoshi Warriors some of her favorite moves like back hand springs, front walkovers and many other things like that.
When an hour was up a shrill bird call sounded loud enough that it spread through the whole little area and everyone, wherever they were, heard it and knew that it was time to go back to Appa.
Appa was back up in the air everyone was sprawled all over Appa, bored as could be.
Then finally, about five hours later, they reached the island that Zuko's family owned.
What did you think. THis chapter was basically just a filler to get them from one place to the other. This chapter wasn't very necessary, but I did it anyways.
Review!
