Forgotten Element!
By
the time Aang and Toph entered the house, everyone was sitting down,
talking and eating.
Sokka was explaining to Zuko why he should
have a statue of him, Suki, and Toph built in the Fire Nation.
"But
we helped Aang defeat Sozin! And besides, who wouldn't want to look
at us all day?!" Sokka exclaimed. Zuko had an irritated look on his
face, as if Sokka had been pestering him all day.
Suki and Ty Lee
were telling Katara about the sale the Inner Ring was having, and how
the three of them should go on a girl's day out. Mai was probably
out on a walk, and Iroh was pouring tea.
Aang squeezed in between
Zuko and Iroh, smiling in greeting. Toph sat across from him with the
other girls.
"Come on, Katara! We haven't been shopping in
FOREVER; and besides you're in need of some new clothes!" Ty Lee
squealed. Katara sighed. "Fine. We'll go, but-" Ty Lee clapped
her hands happily; Katara held up a finger, "but, we don't have a
lot of money left, so-" Ty Lee waved her hand dismissively .
"You're such a worry wart, Katara. We're just going to get some
shoes, some new dresses… And you know, I always wanted a baby
saber-toothed moose-lion… Their so cute and fluffy!" She kept
jabbering away while Katara turned her attention to Aang. "Anyways,
has your Earthbending gotten better?"
"Well, I think I'm better than I was before. I'm more in tune with the earth." Toph coughed. He looked over at the Earthbender. "What? Don't you think I've gotten better?" Toph chuckled "Yeah, sure Twinkle Toes. Whatever you say." Katara cut in then, "Hey, Aang I made your favorite. Salad! I even put those little tomato slices in just like you like." She said, smiling. Aang's eyes brightened. "Thanks Katara!" He reached for the salad bowl and put some onto his plate. He looked around the table "Anybody else?" Sokka laughed. "Hahahaa…" He wiped a tear from his eye. "Like I would eat salad. Come on Aang. Be a man and eat some meat! Wait-" He scanned the table. "What?! There's no meat!" Everybody chuckled at Sokka's expression. His hands were thrown into the air; a horrified looked on his face. "Anyways, would you like to go practice some Waterbending after lunch? It's really hot today, so maybe we could all go on Appa and go to Lake Laogai." Zuko looked up from his plate of salad. "That would be a waste of time. And besides I want Aang to practice Firebending." Toph narrowed her eyes. "Um, sorry to burst your bubble Sparky, but Aang already agreed to Earthbend with me. First come, first serve." She added with a grin. "You can't do that!" Katara and Zuko said at the same time. They casted a glare at each other before returning their piercing stare at the blind Earthbender.
Iroh then spoke up. "Avatar, you have mastered the four elements, right?" Everybody turned to look at the old general. Aang nodded, confused by his question. "Last time I checked you wrecked a cabbage cart…." Toph muttered. Iroh sipped his tea. "That is very good. You know, when I was very young and still in the FireNation, I had a best friend. He was a very gifted bender. But, it was not the elements you know that he bended. It was something even cooler than that." He took another sip of his tea. "If you want, I could tell all of you the story. Unless you're too busy to listen to an old man's tale." Sokka got up. "Well, I have to go…" Katara narrowed her eyes at him. "Then again, I can do it later." With that he sat down, and listened as Iroh started his story.
There you go! The second chapter! It's a bit short, I know -'. Hm… I wonder what the element is… What do you think it is? Chapter 3 on Friday! Again, thank you for those who left comments!
