A/N: Here it is! CHapter 2 posted. We finally meet up with the gaang. Maybe some weird stuff in here. But Katara's last line says it all. :) Bwahaha! Review! Again!
Chapter 2
"GRAAH!" Sokka yelled. "Where is Aang? He was supposed to be back hours ago!"
The Gang was sitting in a rented room in an old Earth-Bending village. Aang had left many hours ago to find the needed supplies for their plans. Ever since the fall of Ba-Sing-Se, they had dropped the Earth King off, with Bosco, at the nearest fortress and made plans to save the city.
"I know," came Katara's calm voice from the wooden chair. "I'm starting to worry. He's not usually this late."
"Ah, don't worry," Toph said, propping her feet up on the table. "Twinkle Toes is fine. What's the worst that could happen?"
An eerie silence followed this question as Sokka and Katara stared at her. Remembering so many bad things.
"Right…sorry," Toph half-apologized, realizing the dangers presented by the Fire Nation.
So they waited…and waited.
Momo scurried around the room in anticipation. Appa had gone with Aang, he wouldn't have fit into the square, three-room apartment, anyway. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Momo started gliding around the room. Sokka ran to the door. Toph put her feet on the concrete floor. After a moment, she smiled and nodded to Sokka to open the door.
A bald child with arrow tattoos on his hands and head walked in. He was carrying a staff of wood and a pouch hung from a belt. It was Aang.
"Where have you been?" shouted Sokka, in his usual crazy voice. "You are SEVEN HOURS late!"
"Nice to see you, too," replied Aang sarcastically. "And how do you know I was seven hours late?"
Sokka pointed over his shoulder to a concrete slab visible through the window to the outside.
"Sundial," he said.
"Oh," said Aang. "Well, look what I found on the way back! I saw a destroyed caravan when walking back. Bandits most likely attacked it and I went scavenging around and found this."
He tossed the pouch onto the couch. Katara and Sokka walked over to the pouch and opened it. Inside were lots of pieces of gold.
"What is it?" asked Toph.
"It's a bunch of gold; about a hundred pieces! Are you blind, woman?" shouted Sokka.
"Yes," replied Toph.
"Oh…yeah…" Sokka said.
"This is why you were so late?" asked Katara suspiciously.
"Well, I did meet some nice people on my little trip. Some traders from an Earth-Bending city. Otherwise, yeah," Aang said as Momo climbed onto his head.
"Where's Appa?" Toph asked.
"Probably eating a tree clean," Aang said smiling.
This caused the Gang to laugh loudly.
"Uh, oh. I gotta go. I promised I would meet those traders at a nearby village after they got into town," Aang gasped, racing outside to call Appa with his whistle.
Appa swooped down and Aang jumped on his back as Appa grunted "hello" and "goodbye" to the Gang.
"Yip-yip!" shouted Aang as Appa jumped high.
"Wait…huh?" called Katara after Aang as he went off into the moon.
