The Second Avatar - Part 1: Berryful Dinner

"So, Sokka what's for dinner?" Aang glided down from a large rock on the side of the campsite. He landed right next to a roaring, crackling campfire. Over the fire was an old, rusty pot that had a boiling, yellow liquid inside. Around the fire there were neatly arranged stones that made a lopsided circle.

Aang stuck his nose near the edge of the pot and took a sniff ready to smell the best food ever. To his surprise it really had an awful smell that caused him to plug his nose and back away.

Sokka looked up at Aang and he grabbed a large wooden soup ladle from beside the fire pit. He placed the ladle inside the pot and stared stirring his mixture. "I thought we could have my famous mushroom and herb soup tonight. It'll be done after…" his voice got a little quieter, "I find some herbs…"

Aang sighed, rolled his eyes, and looked at Sokka. Katara came slowly out of the bushes behind him with Momo following. They both had an arm full of red and blue berries. Momo stumbled and almost lost his bunch, but regained his balance. Sokka had a frown on his face as he saw Katara a Momo set down their find. "Dig in everyone!" Katara half shouted and she grabbed a hand full of red berries. Then she sat beside Aang. "Well go on have some! They can't be any worse than herbless Mushroom and Herb Soup!" she smiled and stuck a few berries in her mouth.

Aang got up and ran to the berries. "Thank you Katara!" he said as he shoved berries in his mouth. "These are great! The blue are the best!"

"You guys always do this when I make dinner!" Sokka set down his spoon and turned away from the others. "I search all day for mushrooms and you don't even care about the soup I made with them!" Aang and Katara ignored him and they continued shoving berries in their mouths.

Sokka got up and he kneeled next to the pile of berries. He picked a blue one up and he sniffed it slowly. Then he grabbed a red berry and did the same. "You guys stop eating these!" he shouted. "They're not ripe! They could get you sick!" Aang, Katara, and Momo quickly stopped chewing and their faces turned green. Momo stiffly fell over with shock all over his face. Aang got up. "Will you guys excuse me for a minute?" he said with a mouthful of half chewed berries. He ran into the woods holding his stomach. Katara spat out her berries and ran after Aang.

Sokka sat next to Momo and he folded his arms with a cross look on his face. He sighed and rested his head on a tree. He picked up Momo who was drooling red berry juice. Momo looked sick and he groaned when Sokka whipped his face. "Relax little guy. The red berries were okay, but the blue ones weren't ripe. I only saw you eat the red ones." Momo perked right up and he jumped out of Sokka's hands and pointed into the woods. He chirped and then jumped into Sokka's lap. "I only saw Aang eat the blue berries," he giggled. "He's going to be quite sick for a while!"

Momo chirped again and he looked up at the sky. The sun had set hours ago and the nightlife was just starting to come alive. Bugs where making noises and the birds had all fallen a sleep. "Well, Momo. I think we should get some sleep. Katara can take care of Aang for now." Sokka stood up and he unrolled a Water Tribe sleeping bag. He then slowly laid down and shot up in pain. "Stupid rock!" he shouted and he lifted the sleeping bag and flicked the rock away. He then checked the entire area for rocks. He found no more and then he slowly drifted into dreamland. Momo curled up into a ball on his stomach and fell asleep listening to the sound of rushing water of the near by stream.
