Chapter Six: Fantasy or Reality
They moved quickly as they could with Momo trailing behind them. Aang was growing more sacred with each step they took. What if they walked into and ambush or if they were being followed, would ever see Asami, Korra and Kai again? All of a sudden he could breath again when he saw the bright light of the lamp post. They both ran up to it panting with tiredness, stills grasping each others hands.
"Can you find your way back from here?" Miss Tumnus asked
"Yes I'm sure. Are you gonna be okay?" Aang asked
The Faun began to cry again and dabbed her face with the handkerchief. Aang comforted her as best he could. Momo then landed on her shoulder and rubbed his face against her cheek. She scratched his ear in return.
"I'm so sorry to the both of you" She whispered
"It's okay, Even Momo forgives you" Aang whispered back.
She handed him back his handkerchief but he gently with drew his hands from hers.
"Keep it. You need it more then I do" Aang laughed
Miss Tumnus smiled a brave smile through her tear stained face. She the took a deep breath before saying goodbye.
"No matter what happens Aang Sato I am glad to have met you. You've made me feel warmer then I've ever felt in a hundred years" She said strongly.
Momo chittered from her shoulder as he flew back on to Aangs.
"Yes. You to Momo" She said to the lemur.
"Now both you go" She said after gently prodding Aangs nose
With that Aang sprinted as fast as he could towards the brush. He ran and ran without stopping until he could feel the softness of the fur coats against his face and the hard floor boards under neath his feet. He then found the door, fell through it and landed cat like into the spare room. He ran to the door and opened it. He saw the others walking down the hall.
"I'm BACK GUYS. I'm okay" He shouted as he ran after them
The others turned to see Aang running towards them panting. He leaned over with his hands on his knees trying to catch him breath.
"What on earth are you talking about Aang?" Asami asked patting his back
Aang then looked up at her confused. Come to think of it they were all looking at him confused, Even Pabu.
"Weren't you all wondering where I was?" She asked while straightening up.
Korra then laughed at Aang question.
"Poor Aang, Hiding and nobody knottiest" She laughed
Aang's head was spinning, He had been away for hours and yet they stood there as though nothing had changed.
"But I was away for hours and hours. Its was only after you guys left I went into the wardrobe and I've been away for hours" Aang explained
The girls looked at him as though he had a few screws loose in his head. Kai just found in amusing of Aang making a fool of himself.
"What are you talking about Aang? How could have been away for hours?" Korra asked
"Yes, We only just came out of that room" Asami continued
"Its the wardrobe. Its magic and theres a wood, A faun I had tea with and a Uniter. Come with me and I'll show you" He answered
Not wanting to cause a fuss they followed him back to the spare room.

They came in and went inside the Wardrobe. But they all they found was rows of coats and the back. Kai even tapped the space between it and the wall to see if there was a button.
"Aang the only woods in there is the back of it. Look" Asami said coming out
He rushed in and found the back. He felt around, but felt only wood beneath his hand. He came out dumbfounded.
"Good one Aang. You've have quite the imagination" Korra laughed
"I wasn't imaging it. It really was there" Aang snapped
Asami crossed her arms at her little bother. Normally he would just say it was a joke and have good laugh but now it seemed he was sticking to it.
"Thats enough Aang" Asami demand
Aang began to pace up and down. Trying to understand why this was happing, did he do something to make it vanish? Or say something?
"Well I believe him. Like that time I told you guys about that garden I found in the under the kitchen sink" Kai laughed
Korra just flicked him behind the ear to make him see it was not the time to making jokes. Aang stopped pacing and looked back at the Wardrobe. Everyone left the room, thinking that he needed some alone time. Before Korra left he voiced.
"It really was there" He whispered
"Asami right Aang. Thats enough" Korra answered
They left him alone, Aang felt like he was on the verge of tears. But then he felt Momo rub against his face.
"You saw it too buddy. I know it's real"
