Some of you said that the Dick Cheney part was funny, and some said it wasn't. I've decided not to add the President, but I'll have another small Dick Cheney part. I promise that after this chapter, there won't be anymore politics.

Disclaimer: I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, Bush and Cheney will be in Office for 624 more days. Also, I still do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender. Alas. . .

Katara and Aang were holding hands, walking aimlessly around the forest. Sunlight was shining through the small cracks where trees weren't blocking the sky, illuminating parts of the forest.

"You know, if it weren't for Sokka, we wouldn't be here right now." Katara said.

"Yeah, we could be at a campsite, or flying on Appa, instead of being lost in a forest." Aang responded.

Katara nodded her head, not really paying attention. She was spaced out, lost in her own thoughts.

"You know what?" She spoke suddenly. "Sokka can't kill us."

"Well, I didn't really plan on letting him in the first place." Aang said, chuckling.

"I mean, it is his fault we're in here. It's his fault that he can't get food, and for letting the two of us go." Katara said.

"And, it's his fault-" But Aang was cut off by a noise coming from behind a tree.

"What was that?" Katara asked, a little panicked.

"I'm not sure. . ." Aang slowly walked towards a tree, from which the noise was coming from. He knew a person was behind it, for he could hear laughing.

"Hello?" He asked.

An old man wearing an odd black suit of some sort came running from behind the tree shouting, "SHOOT THE QUIAL!!!!!"

Aang was taken aback by this strange man, and fell on the ground.

"A-Aang. . ." Katara slowly inched her way over to Aang, as the crazy old man was running around in circle shouting about Quail.

"Katara, I think we should go. Now." Aang said, standing up, taking Katara's hand, and running.

Sorry, I know it's really, really, short. I just wanted to get Katara and Aang's encounter with Cheney before continuing on with the actual story. Anyway, Chapter 8 should go back to the regular plot!
