3. Chapter 3
After about another day of walking, the gang had found a huge rock formation in the middle of the desert. When Toph was close enough to sense it, her face lit up with joy. "FINALLY! SOME GOOD OLD EARTH!" Sokka and Momo, who were still 'wacked-out' from drinking the cactus juice, happily followed Toph. Katara turned to Aang and said, "Come on, Aang…" Aang just growled and continued walking. Suddenly, a loud buzzing sound filled the air…
Meanwhile…
"Uncle, I hate hiding in this dump! Let's just go!" "Not yet, Prince Zuko! I still have to meet up with an old friend of mine." "IS MEETING A OLD FRIEND MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR LIVES?" "Quiet!" The Fire Lord's brother looked up from the soup he was drinking and looked around. 'Phew! No one heard us!' Prince Zuko sighed and took a sip of tea.
"Tell me about your plan again, uncle…" Zuko whispered. "A old friend of mine will help us find a way out of the desert and to the Earth Kingdom capital, Ba Sing Se!" replied Iroh. Zuko groaned and said, "What exactly are we going to do there?" "You'll see. Now, drink all of your tea! It's getting cold!" Suddenly, a voice said, "Are you Iroh and Zuko?"
Back with the main characters…
"YOU IDIOT! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" Aang shouted. Katara was guarding Toph from Aang's wrath. "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT A TRIBE OF VULTURES WERE IN THERE?" Toph shouted. Sokka tried to calm the Avatar down, but Aang just wacked him in the face with his glider. "SOKKA!" Katara wanted to help Sokka, but she couldn't leave Toph alone to suffer Aang's wrath.
"AANG, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU USED TO BE SUCH A NICE KID!" Katara shouted. Aang was shaking with fury now. "WHAT HAPPENED?" he screamed, "THAT BITCH, TOPH, HAPPENED! NOT ONLY DID SHE LOSE APPA, BUT…BUT…SHE STOLE YOU FROM ME! I LOVED YOU, KATARA, BUT YOU NEVER LOVED ME BACK!" Katara had never known that Aang was hiding such feelings. Katara reached out a hand and said, "Aang…I didn't know…I'm sorry…"
Aang slapped her hand away. His eyes were glowing red. 'Red?' Katara thought, 'What's going on?' A red aura began to form around Aang's body. "I…WON'T…LET…YOU…LIVE!" Katara wrapped her arms around Toph quickly as Aang unleashed a huge explosion that sent them flying. "AANG!"

Katara slowed opened her eyes. Suddenly, memories rushed back. 'Aang…he loved me…' Katara thought. She looked to her side and saw Toph was sleeping soundly next to her. 'She must have saved me…' Katara thought as she kissed Toph lightly on the lips. Katara's eyes widened in shock when another thought hit her. She sat up and looked around. "Oh my god…where's Sokka?"
Suddenly, Sokka's body fell in front of her. "You looking for this loser?" Katara looked up and saw two people she least expected: Prince Zuko and his uncle, Iroh. "Come with us. We know what happened to your friend, Aang…"
