Face From The Past 4

After a day of flying on Appa, they all decided to stop at an Earthbending village. It was small, but they all liked it. It seemed familar to Aang, Katara, and Sokka, but not Chi.

"Hey Aang! A fortune teller! We can learn about our futures! Come on!" Chi said. She then dragged Aang to a fortune tellers building. The two went inside while Katara and Sokka watched.

"Those fortune tellers talk about bologna." Sokka said, crossing his arms as he followed the duo.

"Oh yeah? What about aunt Wu?" Katara cleverly asked.

"It was all a bunch of coincedences!" he yelled. Aang and Chi looked around the eerie shop. Books were all over the place. Books about magic, fortunes, and hypnosis. that book interested Chi most. Then the twins looked into the fortune tellers crystal ball as it glowed different colors.

"I will look into your future, if you like young children." the old fortune teller asked, appearing out of nowhere. The two nodded as she placed her hands on the glowing orb and concentrated.

"Hmmm. I'm sensing lies. One of your friends is in a disguise, Avatar. You must keep your eyes open to anything strange, lest you wish to be betrayed by the most trustworthy." the fortune teller said

"Umm, okay." Aang said

"Hey Aang." said Katara coming inside, "Where's Chi?" Aang looked around and saw his sister gone, and something else was missing. Aang went outside, passing Sokka, who was looking into a jar of eyeballs, to see Chi leaning on the building.

"I didn't like it in there Aang." Chi said, "It was creepy. Who knows who the traitor is?"

"What did you take?" Aang asked bluntly

"What? What do you mean?" Chi asked, acting offended.

"I remember the trick we always pulled. I distract them, and you get what we wanted. Now, what is it?" Aang said. Chi pulled out a book, the hypnosis book, and gave it to Aang. He inspected it closely to see it was purple with a bright blue jewel in the center of the cover.

"When I was wandering, I got interested in hypnosis." she said, "In fact I've learned a few tricks." She smiled broadly when she said that.

"Really? Can I see?" Aang asked

"Sorry, cann't. Might negate the spell." Chi muttered

"What?" Aang asked

"I said sorry cann't. I don't remember the spell. There's a really cool trick I've read about that can send peoples minds into another world." Chi said, covering up what she muttered.

"Really? That's cool." Aang said. Katara came out of the fortunetellers building with Sokka following behind.

"Hey Aang, Chi. Why'd you come out here?" Katara asked

"Yeah, it's like there was nothing interesting in that shop." Sokka said. Katara elbowed him and he rubbed his stomach.

"I just felt uncomfortable in there. That ladys prediction. Who is the traitor?" Chi asked, holding her arms.

"It'll be alright Chi. If anything happens, I'll protect you." Aang said

"And if you fail at that, I'll protect you." Chi said

"And if both of you fail, I'm gonna run away screaming." Sokka said. Katara elbowed him again. Everyone, but Sokka, had a little laugh. They then continued walking onward, until they heard someones familiar voice.

"Earth nation! Fire nation! Water nation!" said the voice. The quartet looked to see the skinny pirate saying the same routine that Katara, Sokka, and Aang heard.

"Deja vu." Aang said, pointing to him.

"Uuuh, come on. That place looks creepy." Chi said, trying to pull them away.

"No, lets go check it out." Aang said. Chi gave a sigh of defeat as she followed the three into the giant ship the pirate was standing in front of. Sokka was browsing the boomerang section, seeing if there was anything better than his own. Aang was inspecting a stone monkey with ruby eyes.

"There's something familiar about this place." Sokka said suspiciously

"No. This is totally new. Nothing I've seen before." Chi quickly said.

"Yeah, you haven't Chi. But Sokkas right, we've been here before." Aang said, looking up from the monkey. Katara then noticed something she thought she'd never see again. She pulled it out and looked at the illustrations of water bending.

"Aang! It's the waterbending scroll we stoll from the pirates!" Katara said, rushing over to him. Sure enough it was the one and only scroll.

"Okay, we have definetly been here before." Aang said, looking at the scroll in surprise, "How did they get this back from us?"

"Don't know, don't care. Lets get going." Chi said, trying to prye them from the room.

"No Chi. We have to get to the bottom of this." Aang said

"I'm sorry Aang, but I cann't let you do that." Chi said, acting serious.

"Why? Why are you doing this to your twin brother?" Sokka asked

"Because, I want to see the last two airtemples before they're destroyed." Chi said, closing her eyes. There was a massive burst of wind all around, temporarily blinding them. When they were able to see, they saw that they were in the fire nation temple. The one that had Avatar Roku.

"How'd we get here?" Katara asked

"We're here because I thought this would be a good place to explain things, and maybe kick your butts." Chi said
