After searching for a while, we found a small marketplace. I looked around for a tea shop, hoping to find one nearby. Then, just my luck, I found one. It was one of those small, homely shops. A small bell tinkled over head as I entered.
"Lucy! Laura! Get in here!" I said, beckoning them in.
I approached the counter, and as if the shopkeeper could read my mind, he opened up a wooden cabinet with many shelves. Boxes and boxes of tea filled up the shelves.
"I wonder if they have any mint," I said, looking through the boxes. "Or maybe chamomile, that's my favorite."
"Sarah," Laura said pointing to one. "Ginseng!" She and Lucy started laughing. Yeah.
"That's funny!" Lucy said picking up the box. "Maybe we should get it!"
"Yeah," I said, taking the box from her. "Maybe we should." They started laughing again as I searched the shelves. I decided to buy the ginseng, to keep them laughing for a while. After looking through I found a few different types that really interested me. Most of them were different types of green tea. I even found an interesting little tea medley. Mint, spearmint, lemon, rose, and honey. After searching, I even found a chai tea that appealed to me. Laura found some black tea that she liked.I ended up narrowing down the choices to about 12 different types of tea (including Laura's).I got a few boxes of each one. "Some to take back home," I said to the shopkeeper. We left the shop, Laura and Lucy carrying the boxes.
"Do you think I got enough?" I asked, counting the boxes.
"Sarah, there's enough tea here to last you great-great-grandchildren," Lucy said.
"So now I'm old?" I asked.
"Oh, shut up," Laura said. "One of these days, Sarah, one of these days."
"You can't do anything to me now. You're holding all that tea. If you drop even one leaf of it I'm gonna-"
"SARAH, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Lucy shouted. A wheeled cart was rolling down the path right toward me. I jumped out of the way just in time. It was filled with what looked like cabbages.
"No, my cabbages!" an old man shouted, chasing after the cart.
"Hey," I said. "That's the old dude from that Omashu episode!"
"Really, I didn't notice!" Lucy said, sarcasm in her voice.
"Hey," Laura said. "Where are Aang, Katara, and Sokka?"
"Good question," I said. "Let's go find them."
We looked around for a while and finally found them. Aang and Katara had just come out of the shop. They said Sokka would be out in a minute.
"Didja miss us?" Lucy asked, putting down the tea.
"You were gone?" Aang asked. "Whoa, that's a lot of tea."
"I know," I said. "I guess it'll last me long enough."
"Yeah," Katara said, counting the crates.
We heard a rumbling and dashed to the sidewalk.
"HERE COMES CABBAGE!" Lucy shouted. And sure enough she was right. The cart was coming down the road. We stood on the sidewalk, waiting for the cart to pass when Sokka came out of the shop completely oblivious, as most guys are, to the fact that he was about to be run over by cabbage.
"Watch out!" Katara yelled. When he didn't move out of the way, I ran forward. There was a crash, and the next thing I knew, we were face-to-face. (Do ya use hyphens for face-to-face or do ya just space it like face to face? Just wonderin'..oh well..I'll use the hyphens...we'll all live..)
"Are you okay?" I asked. "That cart was coming pretty fast."
"Yeah," he said. "I'm fine."
"Good. Glad to hear it," I said breathlessly. "Well-uh-I'm fine too. The cart didn't hit anyone. Yet. Just wanted to be sure you're okay."
"Now that's clear, you can get off me."
"What?" I realized that I fell on him after the cabbage crash. I shot up immediately, my face bright red. "Yeah." I looked over at Lucy and she looked like she was going to burst. "Shut up!" I said glaring at her. "Come on," I said. "Get my tea. It's time to go."
