Sokka lands Appa right in front of where we were all musing on the stairs of the house. "Judging by the looks on your faces, I'm guessing you guys didn't find Aang either?"
"No," I shake my head.
"It's like he just disappeared," Zuko hangs his head.
Toph perks up. "Hey, wait a minute. Has anyone noticed that Momo is missing too?"
Sokka turns to Appa, horrified. "Oh no. I knew it was only a matter of time!" He falls to his knees in front of the sky bison. "Appa ate Momo!" Sokka wrenches Appa's cave of a mouth wide open. "Momo, I'm coming for you, buddy!"
"Sokka, Appa didn't eat Momo," Katara huffs. "He's probably with Aang."
"That's just what Appa wants you to think!" Sokka shouts from inside Appa's mouth.
"Dude, if you're not careful, Appa's going to eat you," I point out.
Zuko stands and takes charge. "Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka. We have a real problem here. Aang is nowhere to be found, and the comet is only two days away."
Your Time is running Out… The words dance through my head, but I brush them aside.
"What should we do, Zuko?" Katara and I ask at the same time.
"I don't know," the Fire Prince admits. Appa spits Sokka out, and we all turn to Zuko. "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Well, you are kind of an expert at tracking Aang," Katara accuses. I see Sokka slip in Appa's saliva coating both the ground and his clothes.
"Yeah," Toph adds. "If anyone's got experience tracking the Avatar, it's you."
Zuko thinks for a moment. "Get on the bison."
