I'd like to thank iceball19 my most loyal fan...i say this because she(ur a she right? i sure hope so or im going to be very embarassedO.o) is the only one that has reviewed more than once! thank you! This chapter is for Aang and Sokka to let u guys know! well here it is!
Aang pulled Appa down to the ground half climbing half falling off of him. Appa immediately collapsed on his side, falling asleep. Sokka tumbled off Appa, never waking. Without bothering with sleeping bags Aang laid down in the shade created by Appa. They had been traveling for so long. Aang closed his eyes sleep taking over him in only a matter of seconds.
Sokka unwillingly opened his eyes. He saw Aang still sleeping next to Appa. He rose looking about. Of course there was no food in site. If they didnt find some soon, he'd surely lose it. Sokka kicked gloomily at a rock. He wondered where Katara was. He was sworn to always protect his baby sister, and not be mean to her. He smiled as he remembered the day they had left with Aang. Gran-Gran. He wondered how she was doing.
Maybe after all this was over they could go back and visit their home town. He sure hoped Ba Sing Se was near by, he was hungry.
Sokka looked over to see Aang just waking.
"Hey Sokka!" Aang chirped, airbending on his feet.
"Hey Aang." He answered walking over to Aang. "Say how far do you think Ba Sing Se is?"
"I'm not sure." Upon seeing Sokka's disappointed face he immediately added. "But I'm sure it's near by!"
Sokka stood for a minute, deciding if he wanted to accept this answer. He decided he would, for now.
"Wait a minute!" Sokka said suddenly.
"What is it?" Aang asked.
"Hear that?" He was sure he heard a scurrying sound like claws over sand. "I think they finally caught us." As soon as he spoke these words, none other than Azula appeared from the distance.
Aang immediately went to Appa. "Come on boy you've slept enough we have to go!" He jumped up on Appa. After Sokka clambered up into the saddle, Aang attempted to get Appa up.
"Come on Aang!" Sokka said watching the firenation girls gain on them.
"I'm trying but Appa wont get up." He snapped the reins again. "Yip Yip! Yip Yip!" Appa slowly stood then lifted off into the air.
"Um...Appa." Sokka began gazing at the ground, a mere 10ft away. "I think you need to fly higher there buddy!"
"Ahhh!" Sokka yelled cowering away from one of Mai's daggers. The girls were only a few feet back now.
"Appa up boy!" Aang yelled. The bison rose a few feet then drifted back down to the ground. "Appa come on faster, please!"
Appa roared as though in answer that he understood the worry in Aang's voice. He flew higher picking up speed as his altitude increased.
"We're losing them!" Sokka yelled in joy as he watched the girls continue to drift back until they were out of sight.
A few hours later Aang and Sokka were just laying down in a small clearing of trees. Having stuck close to the edge of the desert, they ran into the forest again.
Sokka looked gloomily around. Momo was sitting at the edge of camp appearing to be eating something.
"Okay Momo." Sokka said moving towards the lemur. "I'm a big guy and well your pretty small so how about I finish that?" He made a grab for Momo but he easily flew into the air out of his reach.
Sokka gloomily sank to the ground. He heard laughter near him. He turned to see Aang's bright smile.
"What?" Sokka asked him.
"Nothing...I was just curious if you were...hungry!" He opened his hands bringing them from behind his back.
"Leachy nuts? You and Katara need to learn how to collect good food." He said all of this while gathering the nuts in his own hands. He was about to grab the last of the nuts when Aang jumped into the air doing a back flip and knocking all of the nuts to the ground.
"Aang! The food..." Sokka yelled before also jumping up though not nearly as high as Aang, he cleared the dart that flew into a tree behind him.
Sokka crouched to study it. "Hmmm that looks like Mai's dart. Ahhhhh!" He was blown back landing heavily into Appa's saddle. Aang jumped up on his head and they were flying again.
"Sokka! I have an idea." Aang yelled as he urged Appa higher. They flew for a bit until Aang once more lowered them into the trees. "Okay Appa is too tired to fly now and we cant keep just getting two minutes of sleep." He walked to Appa's side. "Okay boy when I tell you I want you to slap your tail down okay?" Appa roared in response.
Aang stood gathering air into his mouth. The girls appeared in the distance. "Now!" He screamed while releasing the air. Appa flung his tail down. "Again." They did this again until the girls were out of sight.
"Um...Aang they'll be back though." Sokka remarked watching as Aang filled a bag full of Appa's fur.
"I know that's why you're going to take Appa farther off. I'll lead them somewhere else with this fur. That's how they keep finding us so that's how we'll fool them."
"Oh. Well alright. Where are you going to lead them?" Sokka asked.
"Anywhere but here. I'll go back and continue that trail that was blown away. I'll meet up with you later." Aang whipped out his staff opening it and taking off into the air.
"Well you heard him big guy let's get out of here. We wont go far, that way he can find us." Sokka clambered up onto Appa. "Yip yip." Appa rose up flying close to the trees. "I hope he doesnt take too long." Sokka muttered.
Okay I know it's been awhile and if your interested why just look at my profile, but I'm trying. Next chapter I will write about Zuko and Katara besides I had a dream about the next chap and I love it so please review and I'll try not to take so long.
