We climbed up to the train station and onto a train. "I can't believe we made it to Ba-Sing-Se in one piece," Katara sighed as she looked at the wall.

"Hey, don't jinx it," Sokka warned. "We could get in to find out we're on the Fire Nation's giant exploding spoons. Or the city is submerged in an ocean of killer shrimp."

I added another one. "Or the dolls come to life and make us their slaves."

Celeste added one last one. "Or teddy bears have killed everyone except the children, whom they have crowned as nobles."

"You guys been hitting the cactus juice again?" Toph asked, raising an eyebrow.

Sokka raised his hands in a defensive manner. "Just sayin', weird things happen to us."

A strange man sat in the middle of him and Toph. I turned to Celeste as the others talked. "How do you think us being here will affect the storyline this time?"

"Who knows? I hope we get to the party to see Bosco. He's adorable, and the only normal creature," Celeste answered, as she tried to balance some sort of food on her nose.

The train stopped and we got off. "Back in the city. Great," Toph groaned.

"What? This place is great!" Soaka said happily.

"Please. It's just a bunch of rules here. You'll get bored of it in a couple of days."

Joo Dee came up to us. "Hello. My name is Joo Dee. I'll have the pleasure of showing the Avatar around the city. You must be Sokka, Toph, and Katara." She turned to Celeste and I. "And who are you?"

"My name is Kasai," I mumbled under my breath. My anti-social nature really hadn't shown since I got to the Avatarverse, but I really hated Joo Dee.

"She's Kasai, I'm Celeste," Celeste said in a monotone.

"Very well. Come along."

"Yeah, we have important information about the Earth King," Sokka said. "We need to get to him quickly."

"We'll begin your tour immediately. You have a house here I'm sure you'll love."

"Didn't you hear me?" Sokka asked in exasperation. "We have information about the war."

"You're in Ba-Sing-Se," Joo Dee smiled creepily. "Everyone is safe here."

We climbed into a carriage, and I stared out the window blankly, tuning everyone out. When Joo Dee was explaining the rings, I turned and glared at her. "So because they're poor they have to be away from the rich, like some kind of disease? Well guess what sunshine, they're people too and shouldn't be talked about like they're scum, because they are more human than you, with your idiotic talk of order. Now, I expect the rest of the tour will be carried out with respect. Am I understood?"

I turned back to my window before someone could say something.

We made it up to the middle ring, and Joo Dee was much more respectful. At the upper ring, I came out of my shell momentarily. "One does not simply pop in to see the Earth King!" Joo Dee said in a ridiculously cheery voice.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor," I sighed.

Celeste laughed and the others gave me odd looks. They had the Earth King conversation, and we walked into the house. "You can leave," I told Joo Dee.

"Yeah. We might as well spend out month looking for Hikari and Appa," Aang said.

"We don't need a babysitter," Toph glared at Joo Dee.

"Oh no. I won't get in the way. And I'd be being a bad host if I left you alone," Joo Dee grinned creepily.

I placed a threatening hand on her shoulder. "Listen sunshine. You are not our hostess. You are our guide. And you have already shown us around enough. So, flipping leave now."

"Let's go look for your two friends," Joo Dee said happily.

I resisted the urge to slap her. "You need to leave us alone right flipping now. You are not in charge of us. You are here to spy on us and report back to the Dai Li. Well, no. Get. Out. Now."

Celeste came up to her. "We wouldn't want you to have any accidents. They send accidents to the lower ring."

"Oh, I think I should take a break for a few hours," Joo Dee said in her cheery voice, but there was sweat dripping down her face.

"Good choice sunshine."

Joo Dee left and Katara stared at me. "Kasai, you didn't have to be so rude!"

I sighed. "If they bring out my antisocial nature, most likely they aren't good news. And didn't you see how people were looking at her and the Dai Li? They were afraid of them. We'd never get anything out of them if she was with us."

We walked to the pet store. "Have you seen a dragon and a flying bison?" I asked the owner.

"No. I didn't know any existed. Sorry."

"Where would you sell stolen creature =s such as that?" Aang asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Where's the black market?! You know you know! TELL US!" Sokka yelled at the poor man, who cowered behind his counter.

"No! Sorry, that would be illegal. You'll have to go now, your lemur is harassing my sparowkeets."

I sighed at Sokka's stupidity, and we exited the shop. We walked over to the University, and Celeste questioned a student. "If a sandbender stole something and sold it to a merchant here, where would they go?"

"I'm afraid I don't know. You'll have to ask Professor Zei, he's the head of desert culture."

"Right. And what professor would you ask about the war with the Fire Nation?" Sokka questioned.

The student looked at something behind us nervously. "I dunno, I'm not a political science major. I'm late to class, bye!"

I turned around to see a Dai Li agent walking away.

We got back in the carriage and returned to the house after questioning several others. We looked up to the house across from ours to see a man waving at us. "You guys go ahead," I sighed. "I'll go inside. He'll probably just warn us not to talk about the war."

"I'll go inside with Kasai too," Celeste said. "I have no desire to speak with false leads anymore."

We walked inside while the others went to talk to our neighbor. "I hate this city," I grumbled. "It's so flipping boring."

"I know. There's nothing to do. Wanna practice archery?"

I waved my hand at her. "Nah. You go ahead. I'll take a nap or somethin'."

The next morning, Katara came in carrying the mail. "I know how to get into the palace!"

"How are you people so freakishly cheerful in the morning? Mornings are evil," I grumbled.

Katara gave me an odd look. "Anyway, it says here the king is holding a party for his pet bear!"

"You mean platypus bear?" Aang asked.

"No, just bear," Katara shrugged in confusion.

"Skunk bear?" Toph tried.

"Armadillo bear?" Sokka asked.

"Nope. Just bear."

"This place is weird," Toph sighed.

Everyone nodded, and Katara continued. "The palace will be packed! No one will notice us."

Toph yawned. "No offense to you country folk, but a high society person could spot you from a mile away."

Toph grabbed a pastry and started eating it, as Katara glared at her. "Excuse me? I don't have manners? You are exactly lady fancy fingers."

Toph threw the half eaten pastry to the side. "I learned the rules of society. I chose to leave them behind. You never learned anything."

"Ah-ha! But you learned it! You could teach us!" Sokka said triumphantly.

"Yeah! I have to master the four elements, how hard could learning manners be?" Aang asked cheerfully. He grabbed a curtain and wrapped it around him like a robe. "Good evening, Water Tribe, Water Tribe. Kasai Two Element, Celeste Two Elements. Lord Momo of the Momo dynasty. Your Momo-ness."

Sokka pulled on a curtain. "Good evening Avatar Aang. Do go on."

They bowed to each other, until they tried to bow at the same time and headbutted. Toph laughed. "Katara, Dragon, and Celery might be able to pull it off, but you two will be lucky if you can pull off being busboys."

"But I feel so fancy!" Sokka whined.

I flicked Sokka's forehead, and Toph led us upstairs. She pulled kimonos out of a large closet. Celeste's eyes widened. "Dresses. Oh no. NOOOOO! NO DRESSES!"

"C'mon. Pretend you're playing dressup," I said, eyeing the kimonos warily.

"I don't want to," Celeste huffed.

"It's so we can win the war," Katara coaxed. "You have to."

"UGH. FINE!"

We all went to our separate rooms with our chosen kimonos. We helped each other with our hair, but Celeste and I drew the line at makeup. "You are not putting that gunk on my face," I snarled.

Celeste just put her hands over her face and ran around in circles.

A/N: Okay, we have a question! KASAI! GET YER BUTT OUT HERE!

Kasai: What? I was sleeping.

Phoenix: We have a question from Fanficiction321, asking 'Hey Kasai, were you always so crazy, or did an injury happen or something?'

Kasai: Well that's weird. But, yeah, when I was younger I was shy and quiet. I would never talk, and sit in the corner. The I met Celeste and the other people mentioned a few chapters back (Pink, Kylee, ect.) and I got all hyper like them. But I'm still pretty antisocial, as you can see with Joo Dee. You just don't see it, 'cause I'm with people I like. So, no injury. Just crazy friends.

Phoenix: Well, that's all for today folks! See ya' next time! And please review! They make my heart smile. ^^
