"We're back." Alexis says as she, Aang, and Katara walk into their apartment.
"We found a printer to make our posters." Katara says showing a professional poster of Appa.
"Hey I thought designing the lost Appa poster was my job? I've been working all day on my Appa." Sokka says as he shows his hand made poster of Appa.
"Sokka the arrow is on Appa's head." Aang says as Katara tries to stifle back her laughter.
"This is his head." Sokka says as Katara goes over to him.
"Why are there feet coming out of it?" Katara asks.
"Those are his horns! I haven't seen him in a while ok." Sokka says.
"It looks just like him to me." Toph says as she is laying down.
"Thank you. I worked really-.. Why do you feel the need to do that?" Sokka asks as he remembers Toph can't see.
"Let's just stick with the professional version." Alexis says as Sokka growls and rips his poster up.
"Come on! Let's get busy!" Aang says as he is holding a bunch of posters.
*Timeskip*
"I just finished dropping all the leaflets. Has anyone come in with news about Appa?" Aang asks excitedly as he comes inside with Momo.
"It's only been a day. Just be patient." Katara says as she is playing a game with Sokka before the group hear a knock at the door.
"Wow your right! Patience really pays off." Aang says excitedly as he runs to the door and opens it to see Joo Dee.
"Joo Dee?" Alexis asks seeing her at the door.
"Hello Aang and Katara and Sokka and Alexis and Toph." Joo Dee says as she comes in.
"What happened to you? Did the Dai Li throw you in jail?" Sokka asks.
"What? Jail? Of course not. The Dai Li are the protectors of our cultural heritage." Joo Dee says.
"But you disappeared at the earth king's party." Toph says as the group look at her.
"Oh I simply took a short vacation to Lake Logai. Out in the country. It was quite relaxing." Joo Dee says calmly.
"But then they also replaced you with some other woman who said her name was also Joo Dee." Katara says as Joo Dee looks at her.
"I'm Joo Dee." Joo Dee says as she gestures to herself.
"Why are you here?" Aang asks.
"Dropping flyers and putting up posters isn't permitted within the city. Not without proper clearance." Joo Dee says as she is holding one of the Appa posters.
"We can't wait around to get permission for everything." Sokka says.
"You are absolutely forbidden by the rules of the city to continue putting up posters." Joo Dee says causing Aang to immediately get angry.
"We don't care about the rules and we're not asking permission! We're finding Appa on our own and you should just stay out of our way!" Aang shouts angrily as he then slams the door in Joo Dee's face.
"That might come back to bite us in the blubber." Sokka says.
"Yea that can't have good results." Alexis says agreeing with Sokka.
"I don't care. From now on we do whatever it takes to find Appa." Aang says stubbornly.
"Yea let's break some rules!" Toph says as he earth bends at a wall causing a giant hole before the group then leave their apartment.
*Timeskip*
"We'll split up to cover more area. Toph I guess you should just come with me." Sokka says as they are putting up posters.
"Why? Because you think I can't put up posters on my own?... It's upside isn't it? I'll just go with Sokka." Toph says as she grabs a poster and puts it up wrong before the group then split up going different ways. Later as Alexis is putting up posters she soon hears something and shifts to wolf form running to where she finds Katara and the others.
"Katara what's wrong!?" Sokka asks.
"Jet's back. We can't trust anything Jet says!" Katara says as everyone looks to see Jet pinned to the wall by ice.
"But Katara we don't even know why he's here." Alexis says as she shifts to human form.
"I don't care why he's here! Whatever the reason is it can't be good!" Katara says snapping at Alexis.
"I'm here to help you find Appa." Jet says as he shows a poster of Appa in his hand.
"Katara we have to give him a chance." Aang says as he looks at the poster in Jet's hand.
"I swear I've changed. I was a troubled person and I let my anger get out of control. But I don't even have the gang now! I've put all that behind me!" Jet says.
"Your lying!" Katara says as Toph goes over to Jet and places her hand on the wall.
"He's not lying." Toph says.
"How can you tell?" Sokka asks.
"I can feel his breathing and heartbeat. When people lie there's a physical reaction. He's telling the truth." Toph says as she takes her hand off the wall.
"Katara we don't have any leads. If Jet says he can take us to Appa we have to check it out." Aang says.
"Alright. But we're not letting you out of our sight." Katara says.
*Timeskip*
"This is the place I heard about." Jet says as they approach an abandoned warehouse.
"There's nothing here Jet." Alexis says as they go in seeing nothing.
"If this is a trap!" Katara shouts as she gets into a fighting stance.
"I told you I work near by. Two guys were talking about some giant furry creature they had. I figured it must have been Appa." Jet says.
"He was here." Toph says holding up a piece of Appa's fur she found.
"We missed him." Aang says taking the fur from Toph as everyone runs over to her.
"They took that big thing yesterday. Shipped him out to some island. About time. I've been cleaning up fur and various uh leavings all day." An old man says as he is sweeping.
"What island!? Where's Appa!?" Aang asks as he quickly runs over to the old man.
"Foreman said some rich royal type on Whaletail island bought him. Guess for a zoo or such. Though could be the meat if it's good." The old man says.
"We've gotta get to Whaletail island... Where's Whaletail island?" Aang asks as Sokka is looking at a map.
"Far. Very far." Alexis says as he looks at the map.
"Here it is. It's near the south pole almost all the way back home." Sokka says pointing to the island on the map.
"Aang it'll take us weeks just to get to the tip of the earth kingdom. And then we'll need to find a boat to get to the island." Katara says.
"I don't care. We have a chance to find Appa. We have to try." Aang says as he stands up.
"Must be nice to visit an island. I haven't had a vacation for years." The old man says as he is sweeping.
"Don't you have some more hair to clean up?" Alexis asks.
"Shovel on. I get ya. No more need for old sweepy." The old man says as he walks off.
"Your right Aang. Right now our first concern should be finding Appa. We can come back when we have him." Alexis says as everyone stands up.
"Alright let's get moving." Sokka says as the group starts to walk only to be stopped by Jet.
"I'll come with you." Jet says.
"We don't need your help." Katara says bluntly as Jet looks at her.
"Why won't you trust me?" Jet asks as he continues walking.
"Jee I wonder." Katara says angrily.
"Was this guy your boyfriend or something?" Toph asks.
"What? No!" Katara says.
"I can tell your lying." Toph says as Katara walks off angrily.
*Timeskip*
"We can take the train out to the wall but then we'll have to walk." Sokka says as they are walking.
"Don't worry. On the way back we'll be flying." Aang says cheerfully.
"We're finally leaving Ba Sing Se. Worst city ever!" Toph says happily.
"Jet!" A voice shouts revealing to be Smellerbee and Longshot.
"I thought you said you didn't have your gang anymore?" Katara asks angrily.
"I don't!" Jet says as Smellerbee runs over and hugs him.
"We were so worried. How did you get away from the Dai Li?" Smellerbee asks.
"The Dai Li!?" Katara asks.
"I don't know what she's talking about." Jet says as he backs away from Smellerbee a bit.
"He got arrested by the Dai Li a couple weeks ago. We saw them drag him away." Smellerbee says.
"Why would i be arrested? I've been living peacefully in the city." Jet says as Toph places her hand on the ground between them.
"This doesn't make any sense. They're both telling the truth." Toph says.
"That's impossible." Katara says.
"No it's not! Toph can't tell who's lying because they both think they're telling the truth. Jet's been brainwashed!" Sokka says as he points to Jet.
"That's crazy! It can't be. Stay away from me!" Jet shouts as both groups close in around him.
*Timeskip*
"The Dai Li must have sent Jet to mislead and that janitor was part of their plot too." Katara says as the group look at Jet in the chair.
"I bet they have Appa here in the city. Maybe he's in the same place as they took Jet! Where did they take you?" Aang asks.
"Nowhere. I-I don't know what your talking about." Jet says.
"We need to find a way to jog his real memories." Aang says.
"Maybe Katara could kiss him. That should bring something back." Sokka says as Katara gives him a dirty look.
"Maybe you should kiss him Sokka." Katara says angrily.
"Hey just an idea." Sokka says.
"A bad one." Aang says.
"Ooh wait! I got it!" Sokka shouts as he sticks a piece of hay in Jet's mouth.
"I don't think it's working." Jet says as he spits the piece of hay out.
"Try to think of something from your past that triggers your emotions." Alexis says.
"The fire nation. Remember what they did to your family." Smellerbee says.
"Close your eyes. Picture it." Katara says as Jet does as she tells him.
"No! It's too painful." Jet says.
"Maybe this'll help." Katara says as she uses her healing abilities on Jet.
"They took me to a headquarters under the water. Like a lake." Jet says.
"Wait! Remember what Joo Dee said? She said she went on vacation to lake Laogai." Sokka says.
"That's it! Lake Laogai." Jet says.
*Timeskip*
"So where's this secret headquarters?" Sokka asks as they arrive at the lake.
"Ender the water I think." Jet says as he scratches the back of his head.
"There's a tunnel right there near the shore." Toph says as she goes over revealing the walk path before opening the tunnel.
"I do not like the looks of that tunnel." Alexis says as they look down in the tunnel.
*Timeskip*
"It's all starting to come back to me. I think there might be a cell big enough to hold Appa up ahead. I think it's through here." Jet says as they make their way quietly to the cell before stopping and opening the door.
"Talk about creepy." Alexis says as they enter the dark and empty room as the door then closes behind them.
"Now that's something different." Sokka says as the lights come on and they look up to see a bunch of Dai Li agents on the ceiling hanging.
"You have made yourselves enemies of the state. Take the into custody." Long Feng says as the Dai Li then start attacking the group causing them to defend themselves.
"Long Feng is escaping!" Aang shouts as he and Jet chase after Long Feng. later once the rest of the group catches up they find Long Feng gone and Jet on the ground.
"This isn't good." Katara says as she tries to heal Jet.
"You guys go and find Appa. We'll take care of Jet." Smellerbee says.
"We're not gonna just leave you." Katara says.
"There's no time. Just go. We'll take care of him. He's our leader." Longshot says as everyone looks at him.
"Don't worry Katara. I'll be fine." Jet says weakly.
"He's lying." Toph says as the group leaves the freedom fighters. Later the group then arrive in Appa's cell to see him gone.
"Appa's gone. Long Feng beat us here." Aang says.
"If we still hurry maybe we can catch up with them." Alexis says as they rush to the surface only to then find themselves being chased by Dai Li agents.
"You think we can out run them?" Sokka asks seeing the Dai Li agents chasing them.
"I don't think it's gonna matter." Aang says as the Dai Li then trap them between two walls and the water.
"What's the matter Momo?" Alexis asks Momo flies over to Aang before flying off into the sky as Appa appears and breaks through the walls the Dai Li created as Alexis, Aang, and Toph take this chance to take out the rest of the Dai Li. The group then watch as Long Feng then tries to attack Appa only to have his foot bitten by Appa and thrown by him into the water as the others run over to Appa happily. The group then get on Appa and fly off hugging each other for the loss of their friend.
