Author's Note: I will be skipping the episode in titled Avatar Day mainly because I skip that episode when I watch the series and I feel like it's just an episode filler.
We are standing in a small shop. We are gathered around a green bag pondering. Katara has Momo on her shoulder, Aang sits down, looking the other way and wearing his conical hat. I am shaking my head no.
"It's pricey…but I really do like it." Sokka said
"Then you should get it, you deserve something nice." Katara said
"If you really like then get Sokka." I said
"I do, don't I? I really do like it. But no, it's too expensive. I shouldn't." Sokka said
"All tight, then don't." I said
Katara walks away in boredom. Aang gets up and follows her. I follow them out, Sokka is following me but still has his eyes on the bag. We are outside of the store.
"You know what? I'm gonna get it." Sokka said
Sokka goes back into the store. Katara, Aang, and I wait down the street. A town citizen turns toward them, showing them the flyer.
"Psst, psst! Hey, you kids love earthbending? You like…throwing rocks? Then check out Master Yu's Earthbending Academy." the guy with the flyer said
The man hands over a flyer with a broad smile. We all look at the flyer.
"Look! There's a coupon on the back! The first lesson is free.
"Who know? This Master Yu could be the earthbending teacher you've been looking for." Katara said
"I don't think it is. A earthbender that would listen to the earth wouldn't be giving out free lessons." I said
Katara goes to say something but Sokka walks towards us, he is holding the green bag. We decided to send Aang to the Yu's academy. Aang looks perplexed wearing Earth Kingdom clothes and a green hat. He puts his finger into his ear, wiggles it and sniffs his finger.
- - - - - Time Skip to after the lesson - - - - -
Aang walks out of class, and over to us.
"He's not the one." Aang said
Aang beats his right ear, causing sand to fall out of his left ear.
"I think The Boulder's going to win back the belt at Earth Rumble VI" a male student said
"He's going to have to fight his way through the best earthbenders in the world to get a shot at the champ." a different student said
We all overhear the conversation, Aang runs over to them.
"Excuse me, but where is this earthbending tournament, exactly?" Aang asked
"It's on the island of Noneya… "Noneya" business!" the male student said
The students laugh and walk away as he looks on disappointed. Sokka walks up to Aang laughing while Katara and I glare at them. Sokka laughs and wipes tears of laughter away.
"Oh, I got to remember that one!" Sokka said
"Kida and I will take care of this." Katara said
Katara and I walk towards the students.
"Hey, strong guys! Wait up!" I said
Katara and I quickly got the information out of them after freezing them to a wall. We high five then walk back towards the boys.
"You ready to find an earthbending teacher?" I asked
"Because we're going to Earth Rumble VI!" Katara said
"How'd you get them to tell you?" Aang asked
"Oh… us girls have a way." Katara said
- - - - - Time Skip to Earth Rumble VI - - - - -
We enter a tunnel in a rock face. A large rectangular arena is located in the middle. The arena has stairs running down to a lower, oval shaped area. Seats for the spectators start at the same level as the arena. We walk up to an empty row of seats.
"Hey, front row seats! I wonder why no one else is sitting here?" Aang asked
We sit down but quickly jump back up as a huge rock smashes into the seats next to them.
"I guess that's why." I said
We quickly move up a few more rows. In the center of the ring, the event's host raises an earthen platform. He brings it back to the level of the rest of the arena.
"Welcome to Earth Rumble VI! I am your host, Xin Fu!" Xin Yu said
"This is just going to be a bunch of guys chucking rocks at each other, isn't it?" Katara asked
She sighs and looks away, I roll my eyes.
"That's what I paid for." Sokka said
"The rules are simple. Just knock the other guy out of the ring, and you win! Round one: The Boulder vs. The Big Bad Hippo!" Xin Fu said
While Xin Fu speaks, The boulder raises his arms and turns around to the cheering of the audience, The Hippo roars.
"Listen up, Hippo. You may be big, but you ain't bad. The Boulder's gonna win this in a landslide." The Bolder said
"Hippo…mad!" The Hippo said
The Hippo raises his arms in anger and stomps one foot. Momo lowers more inside Sokka's bag out of fear. The Boulder fires three rocks. They crash into The Hippo, but he does not move. He catches one piece of rock with his mouth , chews on it and pits it out. The hippo jumps up and down, causing the surface of the arena to tilt. The Boulder hereby loses his balance.
"Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen! The Hippo is rocking the boat!" Xin Fu said
The Boulder reaches the edge, but saves himself by bending out part of the ring into a small platform. He grabs it and throws it at his opponent, hitting him on the back. As The Hippo turns around to look at him, The Boulder bends up The Hippo's part of the ring, and throws him out on it. The Hippo crashes in the lower area of around the arena. The fight ends thus in his favor.
"The Boulder wins!" Xin Fu said
"How about The Boulder? He's got some good moves." Katara said
"Arrogant." I said
"I agree with Kida. Bumi said I need a teacher who listens to the earth. He's just listening to his bog muscles. What do you think, Sokka?" Aang asked
Sokka is cheering loudly.
"Next match…The Boulder versus. (a Fire Nation Man happily waving a Fire Nation flag) Fire Nation Man!" Xin Fu said
The crowd boos at the Fire Nation Man who is makes his way over to the arena, still waving his flag, on a makeshift earth bridge, which crumbles away behind him. Sokka is loudly boos the fighter aw well, while giving him a thumbs down.
"Please, rises for the Fire Nation anthem!" the Fire Nation Man
He puts his left hand over his heart, and begins to sing.
"Fire Lord, my flame burns. For thee!" the Fire Nation Man sang
The crowd boos at him again while bombarding him with pieces of rock, much to his surprise. Sokka has a stone in his hand ready to throw it.
"Go back to the Fire Nation." Sokka said
Sokka throws the rock. Sokka hit his target in his head. He starts to become angry, though the emotion quickly changes to wonder and he is sunk chest-deep into the ground, he drops his flag in the process. The Boulder is the culprit, who subsequently raises himself high into the air on an earth pillar. The Fire Nation Man, looks petrified.
"No, no, please!" the Fire Nation Man said
The Boulder is grinning broadly. He leaps in the air, his face serious. The Boulder is plummeting down, he feet held back behind his back as to direct his knees to the ground. He slams the surface of the ring, by which he creates a pillar under Fire Nation Man that catapults him out of the ground. The Fire Nation Man sails screaming through the air. He lands upside down and face first against the large boulder that was embedded into the stand next to us. Sokka gets up and waves both hands in the air in celebration of the Fire Nation Man's defeat while shouting in the fighter's direction.
"Yeah! Wooo! The Boulder knows how to put the hurt in the dirt! Yeah! Woohoo!" Sokka said
The arena where a man riding a badgermole is going over the surface to make it smooth again, letting the animal bend all the rubble away. A female assistant holding up a sign to announce the next round as a bell is struck. The Boulder defeats a few more fighters: The Gopher gets slammed between two rocks, The Gecko jumps up, but gets hit in the stomach by a broad earthen pillar, Headhunter gets hit with an earthen coin. Between his victories, The Boulder entertains the cheering crowd by wobbling his chest. As The Boulder relishes from his fans' praise. Xin Fu standing on his platform.
"Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. The Boulder versus your champion…the Blind Bandit!" Xin Yu said
As Xin Fu was speaking, the girl raises her championship belt above her head, under loud cheering of the crowd. The girl is actually a short child, barely reaching to the waists of the female assistant standing next to her. As the spotlight dies down, the girl offers her championship belt to the assistant on her right, while the other removes her cape, and they both walk off.
"She can't really be blind. It's just part of her character, right?" Katara asked
"I think she is." Aang said
"That's so cool." I said
"I think she is…going down." Sokka said
Aang's flinch's back and Momo to coo and hide in his bag Sokka bought earlier on the market. The Blind Bandit nearly instantly moves back to a view from on the arena's floor level. The Boulder confidently puts his foot his foot down cracking the floor in the process and throwing up some dust.
"The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl." The Boulder
"Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder!" The Bind Bandit said
"The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you scream in a rock-alanche!" The Boulder said
"Whenever you're ready, The Pebble!" The Bandit said
"It's on!" The Boulder said
The Boulder who faces the Bandit, The Boulder's head. Despite his bravado, he is sweating profusely. The Boulder yells and takes a step forward. As his heel hits the ground, the Bandit moves forward, opening her arms as soon as she registers something. Her feet move forward to finish the set up for her attack. The Boulder moves forward slowly, he is bellowing a slurred battle cry. The Boulder as his foot strike the ground again, the Bandit who has begun to swing her right foot in an arc toward the ground in front of her. Her strike creates a shock wave in the arena floor that churns up the ground in the direction of the Boulder in a straight line. Aang and I are staying at her. I can tell by watching that she bends different. The Boulder whose foot meets he shock wave just as he puts it back on the ground. The shock wave makes him drop down onto the ground in a perfect split. Momo squeaks and Sokka's look of adulation and excitement turns to a look of pain. The Boulder has a look of excruciating pain on his face.
"Ooooooh!" The Boulder said
The Bandit who makes a chopping motion with her right hand. Three stalagmites erupt from the ground near The Boulder and eject him from the ring. He slams into the wall beneath the stands and slides down into the crevice between the arena and the stands. The bandit's face, which softens into a crafty ad satisfied smile as Xin Fu speaks.
"Your winner, and still the champion, the Blind Bandit!" Xin Fu said
"How did she do that?" Katara asked
"She waited…and listened." Aang said
Xin Fu jumps down and lands next to The Bandit on the arena floor. He holds a green bag in his left hand.
"To make things a little more interesting, I'm offering up this sack of gold piece to anyone who can defeat the Blind Bandit! What? No one dares to face her?" Xin Fu asked
"I will." Aang yells
Xin Fu looks disappointed for a moment before, Aang enters the ring. The crowd murmurs its approval. He closes the distance between himself and the Bandit. Xin Fu jumps out of the ring.
"This isn't going to go good." I said
"Go Aang! Avenge The Boulder!" Sokka said
"Do people really want to see two little girls fighting out here?" the bandit asked
"Oooh." the audience said
"I don't really want to fight you. I want to talk to you." Aang said
"Boo! No talking." Sokka said
I hit Sokka on the back of the head.
"Don't boo at him!" Katara said
Aang takes a step, the Bandit smiles as soon as his foot hits the ground. She stomps the ground with the side of her left foot. A shock wave travels across the ground and causes a large rock grow out of the ground underneath Aang, who is launched into the air. He lands softly on the ground behind her. She turns around with an upset expression on her face.
"Somebody's a little light on his feet! What's your fighting name: the fancy Dancer?" The Blind Bandit asked
Aang grins sheepishly before the Bandit launches another pillar, which lifts him up.
"Where'd you go?" the Bandit asked
"Please, wait." Aang said
"There you are!" the Bandit said
She launches a rock at him. He stops it with airbending and the blast knocks Toph out of the ring. Xin Fu, The Boulder who is recovering from his match with the Blind Bandit, and the Water Tribe siblings as they confirm their collective shock. Aang, who looks around in surprise as the crowd cheers.
Aang's Pov:
The Bandit is walking away from the base of the arena. She is heading down a set of stairs, Aang is at the top of the stairs and he calls after the former champion.
"Please, listen! I need an earthbending teacher, and I think it's supposed to be you!" Aang said
"Whoever you are, just leave me alone." the bandit said
She earthbends a doorway and exits through it. She turn and closes the door with a motion of her hands.
"Wait!" Aang yelled
Aang reaches the wall too late. He turns and looks sad.
Kida's Pov:
Sokka collected the belt and the bag of gold, the crowd cheering behind us. Sokka smiles and hugs Xin Yu. The three of us head over to Aang. Sokka puts his arm around Aang's shoulder, but Aang is monrose.
"Way to go, champ!" Sokka said
Aang looks down sorrowfully.
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Just a little upset." Aang said
"Sorry, Aang." I said
- - - - - Time Skip Next Morning - - - - -
I are once again walking in town.
"I've got to admit, now I'm really glad I bought this bag. It matches the belt, perfectly." Sokka said
"That is big a relief." Katara said
"If we want to find the Blind Bandit, the Earthbending Academy is great place to start." Aang said
"Doubtful." I said
The same two males students from yesterday are seen practicing.
"Oh great, you two again." student one said
Katara and I glare at them, causing them to back off.
"Yeah…" I said
"…I dint' think so." Katara said
"Nicely done, sisters." Sokka said
"Hey! You're that kid who beat the Blind Bandit!" student 2 boy said
"We need to talk to her. Do you know where she lives?" Aang asked
"The Blind Bandit's a mystery. She shows up to fight, then disappears." student one said
Katara put her hand on Aang's shoulder.
"Let Kida and I handle this." Katara said
Katara and I approaches the second student with stern looks.
"You're not telling us everything." Katara said
Student 2 holds hand up defensively.
"No, no, I-I swear it's true. No one knows where she goes, or who she really is." student 2 said
"That's because we're asking about the wrong person. In my vision, I saw a girl, in a white dress, with a pet flying boar. Know anybody like that?" Aang asked
"Well, a flying boar is the symbol of the Beifong family. They're the richest people in town. Probably the whole world." student 1 said
"Yeah, but they don't have a daughter." student 2 said
"We should start with them." I said
"Yeah, you better leave." student 1 said
"Hey, I got my eye on you." Katara said
I froze the ground and they slip and fell.
"Opps." I said
"Water Tribe." Sokka said
Small Time Skip:
We are standing outside a gate with a crest of a flying boar.
"That's the flying boar from my vision. Come on!" Aang said
We enter the courtyard. Suddenly, part of the ground lifts up, launching us into the air. We yell as we fall and land unceremoniously; Aang and Katara land in some rose bushes, Sokka slams painfully onto the solid ground, I land in the pond. We look up to see the Bandit, in her fancy gown. I stand up out of the pond, and quickly dry myself off.
"What are you doing here, Twinkle Toes?!" Toph asked
"How did you know it was me?" Aang asked
"Don't answer to Twinkle Toes, it's not manly!" Sokka said
"You're the one whose bag matches his belt." Katara said
"And the one who wears make-up and checks himself out in any reflective surface." I said
"How did you find me?" Toph asked
"Well, a crazy king told me I had to find an earthbender who listens to the earth. And then I had vision in a magic swamp, and -" Aang said
"What Aang is trying to say is, he's the Avatar. And if he doesn't master earthbending soon, he won't be able to defeat the Fire Lord." Katara said
"Not my problem. Now, get out of here, or I'll call the guards." Toph said
"Look, we all have to do our part to win this war, and yours is to teach Aang earthbending." Sokka said
"She doesn't have to, if she doesn't want to." I said
"Thank you. Guards! Guards, help." Toph said
We quickly scatter as two guards arrive. We hid on the roof but can still hear everything.
"Toph, what happened?" the guard asked
"I…thought I heard someone. I got scared." Toph said
"You know your father doesn't want you wandering the grounds without supervision, Toph." the other guard said
They escort her back inside. We peer over the rooftop. We smile and climb down. Aang gets a look in his eye.
Five minutes later:
We are in the Beifong house. A servant lets us in and walk off to talk to Loa and Poppy who are the heads of the Beifong family. We servant returns and escort us into the dining room. The Biefong's, Yu and the rest of us sat down at the dinner table, were all severed a bowl of soup, tea, roast duck, and more tea. Aang is sitting down across from Toph, I was sitting next to her. Toph goes to start eating but her father stops her.
"Blow on it. It's too hot for her." Lao said
"Allow me." Aang said
He sends a small tornado at the cup. Everyone claps except for Toph.
"Avatar Aang, it's an honor to have you visit us." Poppy said
"In your opinion, how much longer do you think the war will last?" Lao asked
"I'd like to defeat the Fire Lord by the end of summer, but I can't do that without finding an earthbending teacher first." Aang said
Toph has a annoyed look on her face.
"Well, Master Yu is the finest teacher in the land. He's been teaching Toph since she was little." Lao said
"Then she must be great earthbender! Probably good enough to teach someone else!" Aang said
A second later Aang yells out in pain. Aang sits up a little. Lao casts an odd glance at his daughter who merely eats her soup.
"Toph is still learning the basics." Yu said
"Yes, and sadly, because of her blindness, I don't think she will ever become a true master." Lao said
"Oh, I'm sure she's better than you think she is." Aang said
I shook my head. I send Aang look but he doesn't see it as his face fall into his soup. We all stop eating. Aang rubs some soup out of his eyes and sneezes on purpose, sending the food flying at the Beifong family. I freeze of it that flies near me.
"What's you problem?!" Toph yelled
"What's your problem?" Aang asked
Lao and Poppy wipe their faces with napkins.
"Well, shall we move to the living room for desert, then?" Poppy asked
After dessert we were showed to the guest rooms. Aang and I were outside. I see Toph walking towards us, I tapped Aang on the shoulder and pointed towards her. We turn around and looked at her.
"Relax. Look, I'm sorry about dinner. Let's call a truce, okay? Even though I was born blind, I've never had a problem seeing. I see with earthbending. It's kind of like seeing with my feet. I feel the vibrations in the Earth, and I can see where everything is. You, that tree, the girl standing next to you… even those ants." Toph said
"That's amazing." Aang said
"It's very cool." I said
"My parents don't understand. They've always treated me like I was helpless." Toph said
"Is that why you became the Blind Bandit?" I asked
"Yeah." Toph said
"Then why stay here where you're not happy?" Aang asked
"They're my parents. Where else am I supposed to go?" Toph asked
"You could come with us." I said
"Yeah. You guys get to go wherever you want. No one telling you what to do, that' the life. It's just not my life." Toph said
She turns her head, and touches the ground indicating that she felt something.
"We're being ambushed!" Toph said
We try to run, but get cut off. By underground digging from The Gopher. We are imprisoned in our own metal cages. The Hippo jumps onto the two of the three cages and starts stomping. The rest of the Earth rumbles wrestlers jump into our line of sight.
"I think you kids owe me some money." Xin Fu said
Sokka's Pov:
"Katara have you seen Aang or Kida?" I asked
"No I haven't lets go look for them." Katara said
Katara and I went to look for them, we headed towards the garden when Poppy and Lao.
"Have you guys seen Toph?" Poppy asked
"No, we haven't. Have you seen Aang or Kida." I asked
They shook their head no.
"We were heading to look in the garden." Katara said
We all head into the garden. We see the ground all broken up. I see a note attached to a dagger.
"Whoever took Aang, Toph, and Kida left this." I said
I hand Katara the note.
" "If you want to see your daughter again, bring five hundred gold pieces to the arena." It's signed Xin Fu and The Boulder." Katara said
"I can't believe it…" I said
I grab the note much to Katara's surprise and run off a few feet.
"I have The Boulder's autograph." I said
I dramatically sink to my knees and hold the scroll above my head. I can't see Katara but I know she is glaring at me. Poppy wipes the tears put of her eye and leaves the garden. We all head inside, where Master Yu is.
"Master Yu, I need you to help me get my daughter back." Pao said
"We're going with you. They took Aang and my sister." Katara said
"Poor Toph, she must be so scared…" Poppy said
Kida's Pov:
We were taken back to the venue of Earth Rumble VI. We are suspended high above the air in our separate cages. The Boulder and Xin Fu guard the three of us.
"You think you're so tough? Why don't you come up here so I can snap that grin off your face?" Toph yelled
"I'm not smiling." Xin Fu
"Toph!" someone yells
I look through the bars of the metal cage to see Katara, Lao, Sokka, and Yu.
"Here's your money." Sokka said
Sokka throws the bag of money on the ground.
"Now let them go." Sokka said
Yu earthbend the money across the ring to Xin Yu. He grabs the money, signals for Toph to be sent down, and releases her. Toph goes to Lao. Aang and I are still in the air. Toph, Yu, and Lao leave.
"What about Aang, and Kida." Katara yelled
Xin Fu shows them a Fire Nation wanted poster of Aang.
"I think the Fire Nation will pay a hefty price for the Avatar, and we could get a little bit extra money for the blond. Now get out of my ring." Xin Fu said
The Fire Nation Man appears in an earth tornado. The Gecko jumps down from the ceiling. The Hippo stomps the ground and crushes a boulder. Headhunter jumps onto the ring from the bleachers. The Gopher pops up from the underground.
"Go, we'll be okay." Aang said
I see Katara run to the edge.
"Toph, there's too many of them. We need an earthbender. We need you." Katara yelled
"My daughter is blind. She is blind and tiny and helpless and fragile. Shen cannot help you!" Lao said
"Yes, I can." Toph said
On looker's Pov:
Toph breaks away from her father's hand and walk back to the ring. Xin Fu's wrestlers prepare to leave with The Boulder holding Aang's cage, and the Hippo is holding Kida/ Toph bends up a small part of the ring to stop them from leaving.
"Let them go! I beat you all before and I'll do it again." Toph yelled
"The Boulder takes issue with that comment." The Boulder said
The Bolder and The Hippo throw their respected cages to the ground. Katara and Sokka prepare to strike but Toph stops them.
"Wait." Toph said
Toph listens to their vibrations as they run toward her, turns head to look at Sokka.
"They're mine." Toph said
The water tribe siblings watch in surprise. She shakes the ring up, shooting back the oncoming wrestlers. She enters the resulting dust cloud, unnerving Lao.
Toph creates a large cloud of dust, walks in, and encounters the Fire Nation Man, who takes some time to notice her. As he moves his foot to attack, she smirks. He fires a wave of earth at her, which she dodges. She bends up part of the ring and sends her own wave, ejecting him from the ring as he slams against the sidelines and lands on the ground. Lao and Yu watch from the sideline in stock.
Katara and Sokka try to release Aang, Sokka repeatedly bangs a rock against the cage. Kida's starts to spout ice crystals on it, soon it is completely covered in ice crystals, there is a bang noise and the metal cage cracks and breaks and she climbs out. Kida walks over to Sokka, Katara, and Aang who is still stuck his cage.
"Hit it Harder!" Aang yells
"I'm trying!" Sokka yelled back
The Gecko crawls along the floor and becomes aware of Toph's presence. He fires two rocks which she easily dodges. She bends up a series of pillars, sending him flying out of the ring. A disoriented Fire Nation man who slowly gets up before he realizes the Gecko heading to him and he crashes into him. The Gopher tunnels and behind Toph and sends a rock at Toph's head. She grabs the rock and returns it. The Gopher turning to a distressed look before he gets knocked out of the ring and right into Fire Nation Man and the Gecko.
Sokka finally breaks the cage open, releasing Aang, who prepares to fight. Sokka shakes his head and calls his attention to the battle already going on.
The Boulder and The Hippo prepare to attack Toph. Lao looks on the fight biting his nails. Headhunter flies in from behind to complete the ambush. However, Toph hears him and turns the center of the ring around to put Headhunter on a collision course with the other two wrestlers. With the three men down, Toph ejects them all onto the other defeated wrestlers.
"I never knew. Your daughter's amazing!" Yu said
Toph clears the dust cloud; only her and Xin Fu remain in the ring. Toph spits, her father, looks shocked at her lack of manners, and Yu. Toph gets into a fighting stance and they circle the central ring. Xin Fu fires several rocks at her. She brings up an earth shield, deflecting them all. She turns part of the shield on him. He dodges one piece, but when he hits the ring again, Toph picks up his vibrations in it and senses an attack. She dodges a rock and creates a fissure, sending him flying out of the ring between Yu and Lao. Sokka collapses in shock at the sight. Aang, Katara, and I are left amazed and run towards her. Kida gives her hug.
"She's the greatest earthbender I've ever seen." Yu said
Kida's Pov At the Beifong estate:
Toph is standing in front of her parents.
"Dad, I know it's probably hard for you to see me this way. But the obedient little helpless blind girl that you think I am just isn't me. I love fighting. I love being an earthbender, and I'm really, really good at it. I know I've kept my life secret from you, but you were keeping me secret from the whole world. You were doing it to protect me, but I'm twelve years old and I've never had a real friend. So, now that you see who I really am, I hope it doesn't change the way you feel about me." Toph said
"Of course it doesn't change the way we feel about you, Toph. It's made me realize something." Lao said
"It has?" Toph asked
"Yes. I've let you had for too much freedom. From now on you'll be cared for and guarded twenty-four hours a day." Lao said
"But, Dad!" Toph said
"We're doing this for your own good, Toph." Poppy said
"Please escort the Avatar and his friends out. They are no longer welcome here." Lao said
"I'm sorry, Toph." Aang said
"I'm sorry too. Goodbye." Toph said
A single tear falls from her eye. We leave the house and head outside and up to the top of a hill where Appa is waiting for us.
"Don't worry, we'll find you a teacher. There are plenty of amazing earthbenders out there." Katara said
"Not like her." Aang said
Sokka polishes the championship belt on Appa's saddle. Katara, Aang, and I jump onto Appa's saddle, Aang takes the reins and goes to takeoff, but stops when we see Toph running towards us panting.
"Toph! What are you doing here?" Aang asked
"My dad changed his mind. He said I was free to travel the world." Toph said
Katara, Sokka, and I look at each other with unsure looks, but un the less we smile at her.
"Well, we'd better get out of here, before your dad changes his mind again." Sokka said
"Good idea." Toph said
"You're going to be a great teacher, Toph." Aang said
"Speaking of which, I want to show you something." Toph said
"Okay." Aang said
Aang jumps down from Appa and she bends up a rock, sending him into the air and landing in a tree.
"Now we're even. Um, I'll take the belt back." Toph said
Sokka tosses the belt down, it his Toph on the head and knocking her down.
"Ow!" Toph said
"Sorry." Sokka said
I jumped down off Appa and helped Toph up.
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Yes, thanks for asking Kida." Toph said
Aang falls down from the tree in the background. We all climb back onto Appa, and take off.
