Hey you guys, I am so sorry this chapter is so short. It will lead to something greater in the next chapter. So please, put up this the shorties until I stitch some pants. lol. I hope you got it, if not oh well.
Sokka's stomach was getting irritable. Then had been walking for ten minutes and still had another five to go.
"Why did we have to land so far way?" Sokka complained. He kicked up dirt while dragging his feet.
Aang, who was behind him, made an air shield to protect himself from the flying dirt. Aang breathed out heavily, it was the third time in ten minutes that Sokka had asked that question. "I told you Sokka, if someone saw Appa, we'd have to high tail it out of here. You saw the fire nation ships"
Sokka was bored, no matter how many times he asked that question, the conversation was always the same. "Yeah? So? Maybe they have Katara, they we'd all be in the same jail cell. Family reunion!" Sokka kicked a rock. It hit the tree branch above him and then ricocheted off of it and hit him right in the middle of the forehead.
Sokka clutched his forehead while he heard Aang chuckle behind him. He turned on him, "WHAT!" There was a big lump, which made Aang laugh even more. Sokka scoffed and then continued to walk.
After a few minutes, much more walking, and some more complaining from Sokka, they reached the market. Sokka went right off into the food section followed closely by Aang.
They whipped around the corner and ran right into a fire nation battalion. Aang pulled his poncho over his head and Sokka turned away just as the Fire Nation Soldiers noticed them.
Sokka and Aang walked right by without any problem. As they rounded the corner to the food court and Aang started to right his poncho, Aang ran into a large man wearing a general's uniform from the Fire Nation. Sokka veered of to the right, but Aang, who was having trouble seeing, ran right into the man.
The old man chuckled, "Watch out there son." Aang choked out a few words along the lines of an apology, and ran off.
When he found Sokka, they both let out a sigh of relief. They found a booth selling rice and Boc Choy, bought a bunch or food, and looked for a place to settle down.
They found a nice tree next to a small lake that ran into the river to rest under. They sat down, and started to enjoy their meal.
How's it? You don't have to review, I know it was horrible. It's just, we haven't seen Aang or Sokka in a couple of chapters and I wanted to clarify that it didn't take them 4 hours to land for food. ttyl
