So yeah, this one is taking after episode 13. Which was awesome!
Chapter three: Dragons have Rhythm.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"So, how is the dancing prince feeling today?"
"Katara, I am really not in the mood."
"Oh, sorry. I just can't imagine why you and Aang had to be gone for like three days to learn some dance."
"It's not a dance!"
"Yes, yes it is. It's even called the 'Dancing Dragon."
All I could do was stare at her. She innocently came and sit by me, I thought she was going to be nice. But of course, I am a very bad judge of character.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
I got up and stood on one leg. I had my hands in the air, and wiggled my hips a little.
"Look, I am a dancing dragon!"
I then sat back down to see Zuko staring at me. I laughed.
"So can I learn how to dance from a dragon too? I think that would be fun. Really I do."
He got up, and walked away. It was his fault that we had to stay here at the air temple. I mean he did get me angry when we tried to leave. We did for a while, to a nice little beach, but then had to leave the next day because of a Fire Nation ship that we saw at the port town.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
I saw Aang with Haru, Duke, Sokka, and Teo standing…well, not Teo of course, around something. Toph was off to the side, she looked a little angry for some reason. I walked over to ask her why, but then I saw Zuko moving his arms a lot.
"Hey Toph, what's happening?"
"I don't know! I can't SEE, remember?"
I turned to see what Zuko was doing. He was making what looked like two dragons going around in circles. I walked a bit closer as he was standing. He was going to make them do something else. That was when he made the two of them join their little claws together and point their heads up. He made them breath fire, but the fire was in all different colors. It was really…beautiful.
"Heh, so even the things you fire benders learned from dance." Sokka was in a smug posture when he said that, I could tell he was joking. Zuko made a face that looked angry, but defeated at the same time. But then he smiled.
"At least I can dance. I doubt you even know what rhythm is."
I even had to laugh at that one.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Sokka spent the rest of the day trying to dance. It was really pitiful. The man really couldn't dance. I turned the corner to see Aang talking to…her. He was describing the Sun Warriors city to her. Then she said something about wanting to see it, I knew that Aang would say no.
"Sure!"
I immediately ran over, and stood in between them.
"NO! No one can go! Remember all those traps? We barely made it out!"
"But, Katara wants to see it, I mean as long as we stay out of the temple, we should have no problem."
"No Aang. Remember."
It was more or less a command than a question. But then she had to pipe in.
"What? You think that we are too clumsy or something?"
"Well, some of you. But none of you can. You just can't."
"Why not? It's just and abandoned city, the worst we have to deal with are traps that Toph can see. I see no problem."
"No."
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
On our way to the Sun Warriors city, Zuko was being more grumpy than usual. I know I beat him at convincing Aang, but still, he didn't have to brood over it.
"We're almost there, we have to be careful. Oh! Great news Toph, you can see the art on the walls!"
"I doubt that"
"No, really you can! The art there are all statues and carvings!"
"Really? Hey Zuko, I approve your Sun Warriors."
"Thanks"
Aang kept on telling Toph about how great it would be for her. I think it might be the first time that she will see art. Aang went on to tell about how big the place was. Zuko started to stir a bit.
"We're here."
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
When we got off of Appa I looked around. I hope that the Sun Warriors didn't actually live here.
"Okay, just be careful. There are a bunch of traps."
"Oh stop being so cautious."
I walked past Haru in a hurry. I really didn't want to see Katara anymore.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
We looked around for a long while. Toph saw a mountain a bit away and said that there was something there that looked like an excellent place to hide from the Fire Nation. Zuko said that we shouldn't go up there, Aang also agreed with him. But that got the rest of us curious about what was up there.
"Is that where you guys learned to dance?"
"NO!"
"He's lying."
"Thank you Toph. Now we have to see it."
"Come on! It's far away! We don't need to go there! We have a perfectly good hiding place at the Air Temple."
"But Appa can get us there is no time."
"But we can be seen from the ocean."
"It's too high, plus that way we can see anyone before they see us."
"Aang, please tell her that it's a bad idea."
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
So on our way up to the mountain, Aang made Appa land a bit away. He hid him for some reason. But he said it was because he seemed tired. Appa moaned in agreement and hid under some trees.
We were near the top when we saw something that looked like a big platform. It had something on it.
"Hey Toph, another statue!"
"Uh, Katara…that's not a statue."
We all stopped in our tracks. We all looked at one another, and then ran up closer, and hid behind some rocks that made up the entrance to the plaza.
"Aang, I don't blame you for not telling us, but there are something's that need to be said."
"Sorry, I really thought that it would be in one of the caves. I hope the other one is asleep too."
"TWO? THERE ARE TWO?"
Why Sokka even tried to whisper was beyond me, but he had a point.
"What do you mean TWO? Where's the other one?"
Just as Sokka finished that sentence, a really big shadow coming from the direction of the ocean appeared. Oh, how I hoped that it was a sky bison. But, it was another dragon, a red one. It had a really big long thing in its mouth.
"That's an Unagi…isn't it?"
In a reply to my brother's question everyone but Toph nodded a yes.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Oh, if I wasn't so scared for the safety of everyone around me, I would have yelled I told you so to her. But then the red one dropped the Unagi down in the plaza. The smell was horrible. And the thing was still alive. How it could possibly still be alive with all those wounds all over it is amazing. But then the dragon took the Unagi's head into it mouth. The sounds of bones being crushed made all of our faces pale.
"That's was tasty sounding."
"TOPH! SHH!"
Sokka really didn't now how to whisper. Lucky for us, the red dragon didn't notice. It was now making this purring sound, and it was looking back at the blue one.
"Wait…I remember reading about this…"
"About what?"
We all spoke in unison for some reason.
"Well, you see. The red one is slightly smaller than the blue one. So that means it's the boy. And well I think it's trying to get the blue one to eat the Unagi."
"Why? And when did you notice the size of those things? They're both HUGE!"
"Sokka, please be quite. Well, you see, every twenty years or so the girls get into...umm…uh, Zuko help."
"What do you want me…oh…OH!"
"What are you saying oh…oh, I get it."
"Sokka, be quite."
"What? I get it too."
"What are you guys getting?"
That was when the blue one got up and flew down to the Unagi, and starting eating it. The sounds were just...eww. That was when Sokka got out this thing that he attached to his face.
"Well you see The Duke and company. This is what we like to call a 'mating ritual.' The boy dragon wants to get the girl dragon to accept him, so that he can get into her figurative skirt."
"Sokka, as your sister, I suggest you get rid of that thing."
That was when the dragons started to purr louder. We all looked to see that the Unagi was half eaten and that both of them were starting to fly. Soon they were up, straight up. They clasped they're claws together and took a nosedive down to the ground. They were so high up.
"What are they doing? Aren't they the last two? They're going to kill themselves!"
Aang told Haru not to worry.
The two of them were spinning while they were coming to the ground. About a hundred feet off the ground they let go of one another and blew out fire. Wait fire…a lot of fire.
"Aang!"
Aang nodded, we reacted just in time to make sure that no one got hurt from the flames that cam towards us.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"I think we should leave the, umm 'newly weds' before they decide to eat us."
I think that was the first time that Zuko agreed with me. Later that day back at the Air Temple I saw Zuko talking to Aang with everyone at the campfire.
"If there are two dragons left, there have to be some flying bison somewhere."
"Yeah, Zuko's right. I mean it's not like they were as big as a dragon, it should be easier for them to hide."
Sokka motioned with his hands the difference in size.
"Thanks guys."
I came up to the fire and sat down next to my brother. I put on the biggest smile, and calmly said, "So, even dragons have better rhythm than you."
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
So lol. This chapter was a bit longer than usual. And if you don't know, I totally took that from mating thing from the discovery channels special on dragons. Except for the fire part, that was all meh.
