Toph: "Hurry up Sokka! I think they're reading!"

Sokka dug into his pocket searching frantically, "I can't find it!"

Suki: What do you mean you can't find it! Sokka! Hurry up!

Kaliy: C'mon! Check your other pocket!

Sokka: "I know it's not in there," he continued searching the same pocket, "thats where I keep my cookie statsh...I mean...I already checked that pocket."

Toph: Ugh, Sokka! You're ridiculous!

Sokka: "AHA!" Sokka pulled out a little folded paper note, "I found it!"

Kaliy: Geez, finally...

Suddenly, Momo crawled up his arm, and ate the paper right out of Sokka's hand.

Sokka: Oh no! Crap! Momo! Why'd you do that, that was our disclaimer!!

Suki: Oh no, Sokka! Do something!

Sokka looked around nervously, and then began to dance.

Kaliy: \sigh\ Neither I or Elari own the Avatar...

Sokka: Hey, wait, why am I the only guy in this disclaimer...heeeyyyy /wink/

Chapter Three: Ba Sing Se

"HOLLLLLLY SHIIIIIIT!!" Kaliy screamed falling through the air, "WHERE THE CRAP AM--" SMASH! Kaliy looked around to see cabbages everywhere. She landed on a cabbage cart.

"NO! MY BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL CABBAGES!" cried the cabbage vendor.

Kaliy got up and brushed the cabbages off of herself, "Oh hey, you're that cabbage guy."

"YES! AND YOUR A GIRL YOU RUINED MY CABBAGES!!"

"There's something I've always wanted to tell you..."

"You're sorry for all my misfortunes?"

"No, your life sucks and you should probably kill yourself."

The cabbage vendor sniffed, "Yeah... I know."

Kaliy started walking away, "Wait a second..." she came to an abrupt stop, "Why haven't I woke up yet? This is a dream isn't it?"

"No, your awake." said a passerby.

"Wait!" Kaliy screamed grabbing the stranger, "Where am I?!"

"In Ba Sing Se, Ba Sing Se! Why?! Have you been sleep walking or something!?"

Kaliy stared at the man blankly. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" she began pinching herself. "C'mon! Wake up!!"

The man slowly inched away, "craaaaaaaaaazy."

"Okay... so what happened was the guy stabbed me with a knife coated in some kind of crazy drug that is making me hallucinate that I am in Ba Sing Se, yeah, that makes sense, yeah, thats what happened" Kaliy started rambling to herself, "Ugh... I need to find some place to sit down." She walked to a small tavern and took a seat.

"Anything I can getcha ma'am?"

"Uh, water...please." Kaliy groaned.

"Aye pretty lady," said a man sliding into the seat next to hers, obviously drunk. "Wanna go out sometime?"

Looking at the man straight in the eyes, she said "Your just a figment of my imagination."

"Wait...what?"

"Here ya go ma'am." said the server placing a glass of water infront of her.

"You can see me, right?!" cried out the man addressing the bar tender.

The bar tender ignored the drunk and continued cleaning his glasses.

"Am...am... am I not real? THATS IT! I'm not even real! MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE!!" he screamed running out of the tavern.

Hm, that man seemed more out of it than me. Kaliy sighed and finished her water.

"Sorry, that was Chan, he hits on all the ladies here." said an old woman pulling up a seat next to Kaliy's. "My names Maya, I've never seen you around here before."

"Yeah, I'm Kaliy and I'm kinda from outta town..."

"Ah, I see, you don't look to happy, is everything ok? I hope it wasn't Chan, what a silly boy."

"Haha, no, no. I'm just a bit confused, is there anywhere I could go for some help?"

"Well you could always visit General Iroh at his tea shop, Jasmine Dragon. He's such a wise old man, and if he doesn't help you, I'm sure his tea will lighten your spirit."

"Haha, well thank you very much."

"Here's some cab money." Maya said handing over a gold coin, "With one of these coins one of the men on the horse carriages could take you right to Iroh's tea shop."

"Thank you so much, I hope to see you again, you've been a great help!"

"No problem little lady, you're an important girl. I wanted to be the one to help you start off your destiny."

"Uh, thanks?" Kaliy said confused and then rushed out the door. What a nice old lady...crazy, but nice.

She climbed in a carriage, handing the horse rider the coin, "Jasmine Dragon Tea Shop please."

"Very well ma'am." and off they went.

After a couple minutes the carriage came to a stop.

"Stupid kids playing in the street!" complained the horse rider, "One second ma'am."

"Momo! Get back here with that!" cried a familiar voice.

Sokka? Kaliy climbed out of the carriage and looked in the street only to see Toph, Suki and Sokka chasing Momo around.

"Momo! Give me back my fried fish!!"

"Can you just stop so we can get back home?" complained Toph.

Suki giggled, "C'mon, lets go, you're in the way."

"Wait a second..." Kaliy spoke up, "You're Sokka right?"

Sokka suddenly stopped and posed victoriously "Yes, how did you know that? Was it my strong muscles?" he began to flex them, "my devilish good looks or my brave warrior qualities?"

"Uh...no, not really, it was kinda the fact that you were chasing, Momo for food that made it obvious." Kaliy said.

"AHAHAH!" I like you already," Toph laughed, "I'm Toph, who are you?"

"I'm Kaliy, I uh, am looking for Iroh."

"Oh, Iroh, we're going to his tea shop right now." said Sokka.

"Want to tag along?" suggested Suki, "I'm Suki, and I guess you already know Sokka and Momo."

They all began walking down the dirt path.

"Yeah, by the way, how did you know us? Did you hear about us because we helped out in the war?" Sokka asked.

"Uh, yeah thats it, I heard you were working with the Avatar."

Sokka proudly stretched, "Yeaaaaaah, being good friends with the avatar gives ya a good rep." Toph punched him in the shoulder, "Owww, what was that for?!"

"You're being stupid..."

"So Kaliy, why do you need to see Iroh?" asked Suki.

"Well I heard he gives good advice and makes some amazing tea."

"That he does."

"Alrighty, we're here." Toph said opening the door. "Wait, somethings wrong, he's not here!"

"What?!" Sokka said running into the shop, "OH NO! HE'S BEEN CAPTURED!"

"Uh, Sokka..." Suki mumbled.

"IROOOOH! IROH! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"...Sokka!"

"DON'T WORRY! WE'LL FIND YOU!"

"SOKKA!! HE LEFT US A NOTE!!" Suki shouted.

"...oh, what does it say?"

"It says here he went out to buy more ingredients for the tea."

"Oh, haha, that makes sense," chuckled Sokka.

"Why would anyone want to capture Iroh anyways?" asked Toph.

"...I dunno, for his secret tea recipes?"

Kaliy giggled, I can't believe this is happening it to me!
