Katara ----------
"Where did you say the fruit tree was?" I struggled to keep up to my brother since we had to go some where into the trees and there were too many bushes in my way. They were too itchy and rather extremly sharp. I didn't exacly know why Sokka had to go places as harsh as this one but sometimes I just couldn't understand him.
"It should be around here some where. It's not like it disappeared or anything.
"Or maybe you just forgot where it was."
"I didn't forget! And besides my instincts are telling me that we aren't too far from that tree."
"If your instincts are telling you that we are going the right way, then you have a lot of re-thinking to do." I said smiling,
Sokka looked over his shoulder with a frown and I couldn't help but to laugh.
"Just keep going." I said.
So that was how it was for at least I would say two mintues before we finally came to the end of the big annoying bushes and we stumbled across a great tree.
"This is amazing!" I said as I opened my mouth in awe. I couldn't believe how many fruits were ripe in the tree and how the birds were all up in the tree enjoying the fresh juices of the fruit.
Next thing I knew I was runnig toward the tree and picked a round piece and enjoyingly eating the fruit. I never came across a fruit this delicious and I couldn't believe it either. Even though I did have to go through all the bushes, it was worth it.
"What is this Sokka?" I said between me eating the fruit, "I think its sort of like a strawberry-pineapple type of fruit.
"Let me try." as Sokka took the fruit and gave in a big bite. "This stuff is very filling!" Then he took another bite, "It's the quenchiest!" (This time he didn't get high) ;)
"We just have to take some more of this back to camp. Maybe Toph can lose some of her nerves." I said
"Alrighty then."
So me and Sokka took quite a few fruits and headed back to camp. The bushes didn't seem as harsh since my mouth was still enjoying the juices of the fruit so I didn't really mind.
Everything seemed fine until I heard something behind me and Sokka. I started to freak out when I heard the thing behing us growl.
"Sokka..."
"Dont move!"
I was completly shocked and scared. Especially with the fact that I left my water pouch at the camp. Stupid! If only I took it with me!
I felt it come closer to us until Sokka and I came and agreed with one thing.
"RUN!"
Sokka and I took off running as fast as we could, not to mention screaming, to the camp but we couldn't out run something that was growling and which was a sign that it was hungry behind us.
We ran for as fast as we can until we came to a dead end.
Sokka and I look around to find that the monster chasing us was the Tigerpig Sokka ran away from last time. But this was it's mother. Unfortunatly the mom didn't forgive Sokka for trying to hunt it's baby. And to make anything worse, it didn't look like it was going to turn around.
"There's no way out!" said Sokka with a scared face
"I dont have any water to bend!" I looked around hesitatly for a source of water but no luck.
"Nice Tigerpig, thingy." said Sokka trying to calm the beast down in a slight whisper
"Sokka, what are you doing? How does that thing know if your trying not to hurt it? You can get us in greater danger!" I said in also a whisper but loud enough to show my frustration,
"How can anything get worst than THIS?"
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?"
The Tigerpig got closer and closer until I could hear it's growl so close that I could of passed out right there and right now. But I didn't have to because from a distance I could see Toph and Aang racing toward us.
I could see that both of them were shocked to see what was going on and very suprised.
They had no time to spare and I was glad for it.
Aang ----------
I was actually thankful that Toph could feel the earth from far away since most people like me couldn't even 'see' or hear from like a mile away. Or if Toph was really concentrating, further than that. Anyways, back to where we were running to.
Toph knew exacly where she was going and wasn't a minute too late since when we got where katara and Sokka were they were still unhurt.
I could of done something to help them, but Toph handled it. I saw as she stomped her foot against the ground making where the Tigerpig was standing elevate, the she punched the air up making the elevated earth go really high up. Then she smacked that high earth to the side where it would head back to where all the bushes were.
"Are you guys alright?" I asked as I came over them
"Yea, but I've been better though." Sokka said with a grin
"Why was that thing going after you guys anyways?" Toph asked
"Surly it didn't forget about the time when Sokka almost killed it's baby." Katara said crossing her arms,
"Hey what can I say? I'm a guy, I need my meat!" Sokka said responding to Katara. I looked at the fruit that they seemed to drop and then i looked at Toph. She looked iratated how Sokka almost got his sister in danger.
I picked up some of the fruits.
"We should be heading back to the camp." I looked over at Toph, "I want to see something." But in my mind I thought of a little suprise for Toph that might help her get over her fear of swimming.
