Chapter 7
-Previously-
"Oh no." He said deadly quiet.
"What else could possibly go wrong?" I asked sarcastically.
-Now-
-Toph's point of view-
"Appa isn't here."
"I'm sure he's just off looking for something to eat or drink." I was still angry at him for making me ride that death trap he calls a glider.
"Yeah maybe your right." He said clearly unconvinced. He then pulled Appa's whistle out of his shirt and blew it. (It hangs on a string around his neck.)
There was a few minutes of silence.
"He would be able to hear that for miles." Aang said sadly.
"Well he can't have gotten far could he?" I said reluctantly trying to cheer him up.
"Yeah, If we start looking now we might be able to catch up."
"Whoa, Slow down Twinkle Toes cant we get a nights rest? There's a beautiful apartment waiting for us in the city."
He looked at the sunset. "Well we could if we weren't locked out of the city. Unless…"
"NO! I am not riding that crazy contraption again!"
"Aw well it looks like there will be nothing for dinner then." He said trying to prod her into another go on the glider.
"Well I am hungry… No he almost got me killed last time. But it was really your fault for strangling him. Well… What the hell I am having an argument with myself." Her stomach grumbled at the lack of food. She hadn't eaten anything except that one strip of Platypus bear meat since yesterday.
I let out a defeated sigh. "Fine. But this time I will just attack myself to you with my meteor bracelet."
"Great!" He said bubbling with excitement.
I carefully wrapped the bracelet around us with earthbending then took a deep breath. "Ok I'm ready."
"Woohoo!" He screamed as he kicked off the ground.
"How did I talk myself into this?" I thought to myself as my 'vision' disappeared."
"Are we there yet?" It was starting to get cold.
"We're about halfway."
"What it didn't take nearly this long last time!" I yelled over the wind.
"Well we were going much faster last time."
"Fair enough." I said quietly.
A few minutes later I was freezing, the sun had completely dropped and it was the middle of winter.
"Aang I'm really cold are we almost there?"
"Y-ya I'm cold too. But we're just about to land." His teeth were chattering.
They touched down gently this time, and ran into the apartment. Aang clumsily lit a fire. Despite his victory over the fire lord he hadn't truly mastered fire bending.
Aang set out their crude meal consisting of fruit and platypus bear meat. "Well this has been another crappy return to Omashu." He said darkly.
