Chapter Two: The Journey of the Water Tribes

"Are you sure you don't want me to take the rein?" Katara asked Sokka, as she played with the water. They had only been on Appa for an hour, and they were already arguing.

"No, Katara. Besides, we're almost to the Southern Water Tribe, our home. Do you remember the plan?" Sokka said, while keeping his eyes on the air.

Katara rolled her eyes. "Of course! Since their our no men in our tribe, we will be going home just to remind them of our plan, and to bring any healers with us. And, unless they have been hiding it, I don't think we have any healers. Then we head to the Northern Water Tribe."

Sokka sighed. "And of course, it will take us two days to get there, then another four days to prepare, then another five days to get to the island. And that's with no brakes!"

Katara sighed, thinking of the traveling they had to do. And because Aang wasn't there to cheer her up.

"Hey, look, there is that place Dad took me once to go fishing! We're almost there!" Sokka cheering, steering the direction of their village, staring hard so as not to miss it. As it turned out, he didn't have to stare so hard.

"What happened?" gasped Katara, staring, not as their tiny village, but at a palace as almost as big as the Northern Water Tribe's home.

Sokka didn't say anything, speechless apprently, but steered Appa down towards the ocean. Sure enough, a minute after they landed, canoes appeared, with a familar person in front...

"Master Pakku!" Katara yelled, waving to him. He waved back smiling, said some directions to each men, and they started going back to their village.

---------------------------------------

Moments later they had come off Appa, looking around at their home. Canals and bridges everywhere, with homes, and a big palace.

"So, where is the avatar?" Master Pakku said, lowering his hood. Katara and Sokka exchanged looks.

"We had a plan, and we had to split up for a while to make it work. We will explain later." Katara said "While we are here, can you give us a tour? It's amazing how you got this up."

Pakku started the tour, waving the other men off to their duties. "Sure, and with many water-benders, you would be surprised with what you can do. By the way, did you see your father while on your journey?"

"Yes, we did, and how many wa-" Katara was cut off.

"Oh! Where is our house? And Gran Gran?" Sokka asked, looking around. Pakku stopped, smiling slightly.

"Kana, as the leader of your tribe, is in the palace. And I have some, er, surprising news, though I am not sure if you knew..." Both Sokka and Katara looked at him, eyebrows up, curious.

"Well, as you know, both you Gran and your father were the head of your tribes. That would make you...Prince Sokka and Princess Katara." Pakku said, watching their faces.

Katara and Sokka both looked surprised.

"Well, it does make since, though with out village use to be so small, we never thought of us as Prince and Princess." Katara said, lightly going over the matter.

Sokka looked more depressed though, muttering something about Yue. Katara just ignored him, not wanting to get into that subject.

---------------------------------

Anyways, after the tour, and meeting their grandmother, the four of them went into the Meeting Room.

"Now, what was this plan of yours?" Pakku asked, going right into business. Katara and Sokka explained what Aang had come up with. Pakku looked serious.

"You mean you're working with Prince Zuko, and General Iroh, both Royalty of the Fire Nation?" asked Pakku angerily.

"Yes, but we have reasons that he is good. And Iroh...well Toph can sence that their both telling the truth." Katara said proudly. Pakku just sulked when Kana said to zip it.

"Well, anyways, you want the water tribes to come with you? Healers and others? That would equal about" Pakku stopped for a minutes, thinking "260 fighters, minus 60 to keep her and at our home, and 20 healers. We can give you 220 people."

Sokka looked positivly delighted, but then frowned.

"That's great and all, but how will we get 220 people from here to that island?"

Pakku smiled. "Sokka, we have enough boats. We have 20 water tribe boats and 10 earth kingdom boats here, each carrying 5-15 people. We can leave one boat here, and the rest we can take with us. And with food and water, we should be fine. We can set out tomorrow morning, and it will take us" Pakku paused again "about 8 days to get there."

Sokka rubbed his hands together "Not bad, not bad at all. So let's do it!"

Author's Note: Now, each chapter will show each journey.

Oh, and btw, I forgot to mention that Momo went with Aang.

I won't describe the whole "boat" journey, but I will describe when they land. (for all of them)

This Chapter is Dedciated to: My Father, because he fixed the TV :P
