The girl slowly came out of the bushes. Katara could see that she young, about 12 or so. " Hi. What's your name?" Katara asked.
The young girl looked as though she was about to cry, she was so scared.
"I…I…I'm… Mo…wia…Mowia." She stuttered out.
"Well my name is Katara. Where did you come from?" asked Katara, looking around.
Mowia pointed at something behind the bushes. Katara looked at the direction that she pointed, but didn't see anything. She slowly made her way past Mowia and behind the bushes.
She saw a small fence made of large sticks that surrounded the mouth of a cave. In the fence, Katara saw a black spot on the ground that must have at once been a fire. She saw two near by trees that had a hand made hammock hanging between them. She looked over at a huge garden that was so pretty with all its different colors. Over it was placed a scary looking scarecrow that Mowia had apparently made.
" Can I go in?" Katara asked Mowia, who was standing next to her.
" Yes." Mowia said sounding like she was getting over her fear and warming up to Katara's present.
Katara made her way through the fence and walked to the mouth of the cave. She stopped when she saw two amber Eyes staring at her from inside the cave. Suddenly something jumped out at her. Katara cowered.
"Kay, be nice! This is Katara, our new friend!" Mowia screamed.
The thing that had jumped on Katara, apparently Kay, got off and ran over to Mowia. When Katara gained herself together again after the sudden scare, she looked over at Mowia.
She now had a little Momo on her shoulder.
"Um this is Kay. Sorry that she scared you. She is just curious is all. See we aren't used to visitors." Mowia tried to explain.
"It's all right. Where… How did you get on this island?" Katara asked.
"It's a long story. I bet that you don't have time to hear it." Mowia said walking into the cave.
"Well, I want to hear it, but I have two guys back at my camp that I have to tend to. How about you come with me there and you can tell us about it." Katara suggested.
"BOYS!" Mowia practically shouted, causing Kay to jump off her shoulder and run back into the cave.
"Yeah, one's my annoying brother and the other's Aang. Aang is the Avatar. Hey how old are you anyways?" Katara said casually.
" Um 12. Why? And he's THE avatar? But I thought…. Wow…" Mowia said, still trying to digest all that Katara had just told her a minute before.
"Yeah well he's 12 too. I think you two should meet." Katara said.
Mowia still looked puzzled but said," ok but I want to bath and wash this dress first."
She ran over to Katara and grabbed her hand pulling her to the back of the cave. The inside of the cave was lighter than Katara thought it would be. She saw cooking rocks, a make shift bed, and two large stumps that were used as a tables and chair. She also saw a little stack of leaves in a corner near the bigger bed. That must be where Kay sleeps. Katara thought. As she was pulled deeper into the cave, it started to get even lighter. Katara saw more man made stuff that Mowia was in the process in making lined against the walls. Mowia pulled her back more until finally they stopped at a beautiful grove that had suddenly appeared.
The cave roof had at sometime a long time ago fallen in, and had left a huge whole in the roof for water and light to come in. This is where the light was coming from. The roof that was now on the floor of the cave was covered in bright green grass that looked too delicate to walk on. Katara noticed that there was another small garden in the middle of the grove that was growing herbs used for healing. To the far corner was a small waterfall that formed a stream around the herbs with a small bridge to cross over it.
Mowia undressed and began to clean herself under the waterfall. Katara faced away. Wow, this place is amazing. I wonder how Mowia got on this island and how long she has been here. Katara thought. Mowia was soon done with her washing and was now soaking her dress her dress. Finally, after some time, she twirled around in her now clean dress, for Katara to see.
It was made of silver silk and had blue arrows running down the sleeves and swirls decorating all around it. Katara saw that it matched her blue eyes and made the gray specs in them stand out more than ever.
"Lets go!" She seemed to dance in the dress as she ran out of the cave with Kay on her shoulder and Katara trailing close behind. "Wait up." Katara yelled.
Mowia did slow down. I guess I better if I don't want to get lost. She thought. She waited for Katara to catch up. Katara started leading the way back to the beach, where camp was, with Mowia at her heels.
They soon heard the guys' voices yelling out. They're probably yelling for me to come make them more food, the lazy bums. Katara thought, quickening her pace.
Soon the girls got to the beach. Katara ran over to the boys so that she could introduce her new friend. She was surprised though when she didn't get the chance.
" MOWIA? KAY?" yelled Aang.

Stupid funny: (Sorry that it is so stupid)
Katara: You suck your thumb. Your teeth are all going to fall out.
Sokka: I don't suck my thumb.
Katara: Yeah you do. You suck your thumb in your sleep.
Sokka: No I don't and even if I do my teeth won't fall out.
Me: Have you never read the dentist's big book of every thing? It says in there that your teeth will fall out if you suck your thumb after a certain age.
Katara: And that age is 14.
Sokka: There is no such thing as a dentist's big book of everything.
Me digging through my bag, and pulling out a big book.
Me: want to look it up?
Sokka: ok there is a book but it doesn't say anything about sucking your thumb in here
Katara: Just look it up then.
Sakka looks through the book and finds a page on the subject.
Katara: see…
Sokka: oh.
