Some more silliness, and seriousness for all of you. Mostly silly.
Rebuilding the renamed city was going to be long. The city came back to life after the Fire Nation left it. People started cleaning, and little children started to play. I got sucked into this game, where I had to be the bad guy. Why me? I always had to play the bad guy, even before I met Aang.
The kids were all seven or eight years old. They learned to respect the Fire Nation and so I was the evil waterbender. These kids would all have to relearn that the Water Tribes were not evil. How ironic is that? I learned that the Fire Nation is evil, when they just have very bad leaders, and yet, these earthbending kids all respect the Fire Lord and hate their own King and anything left of the Water Tribes.
So we all walked down to a street where it wasn't harmed by the fighting. The neighborhood was beautiful with the green Kingdom roofs and the Fire Temple in the background. Even as a destroyed city, New Oz- Omashu was still wonderful.
The kids decided to fight me using real earthbending. Flying rocks hurt! They would shoot little pebbles at me, and I got hit everywhere. I even found one in my mouth!
Toph came and saved me from the bigger rocks. I would have done that myself, but I forgot to bring my canteen. Toph didn't save me from them all running after me and tackling me to the ground. I have never been ticklish in my life, but I was at that point. And how they got under my chest plate, I don't even know.
I walked back to my tent. Sokka made sure that it was close to his. I don't know why. I sat in there, taking off the armor. I was going to have bruises from being tackled, and tickled.
Toph and I walked around the city for a bit. Toph would help move rubble when she was called, but other than that we talked. I haven't told her about the whole Anzeng/Sokka thing, for I didn't know if she would tell Zuko.
"What did Anzeng say about your brother?" she had to ask.
"He said that he's alive and well." I lied. I had to.
"That's always good. Can't wait to see him, can you?"
"Yeah." I said, unexcitedly.
We stopped for a bit to watch the sun set. I described it to Toph again.
"I wish I could see it. Hey, does your healing heal blindness?" Toph was joking.
"Want to see if it does?" I joked back.
We laughed and I continued to watch the sunset.
The next day, Zuko's men found a high ranking Fire officer. Sokka wanted to know about the Southern Tribe, and asked him. The officer laughed, and told Sokka to 'fuck off' and said that there was no Southern Tribe. Sokka frowned, and walked out upset. I wasn't there, but I heard it from outside. The officer and Azula were going to be charged with genocide of the Water Tribes.
When Zuko and the Earth King set a date for their trial, the Fire Lord wanted them to be defended by his own choice of lawyer. The King laughed, and he reminded me of the guy from the town where we spent our first Avatar Day. In other words, Azula and the officer were going to be put to death.
Sokka and I were not going to be there. Sokka wasn't for he was going to Kyoshi, and I wasn't for the fact they didn't want me around, and I was coming with Sokka. We got our things packed, and Toph led us to where she had Appa staying.
"Appa, buddy. Momo isn't bothering you, is he?" Toph asked.
Appa roared, and Momo jumped up from where he was. Poor Momo looked old. I should have asked Aang how long lemurs live.
"Thank you Miss Toph." Sokka said, pretending to be Anzeng again.
"Not a problem. Just remember Katara, you are the only one that knows Appa. He might not like Anzeng driving." Toph laughed.
"I'll remember." I said. I wanted to tell her.
"Alright, don't be gone for too long. We want to get Aang soon." Toph said.
"Sure thing." Sokka responded.
I climbed onto Appa's head. It was almost like being with everyone else five years ago, and flying on Appa.
"Yip yip." I said and I got him started toward Kyoshi.
When we were in the air, Sokka took over.
