not much to say! enjoy!
When Katara arrived at the house, everyone had their eyes shut. She assumed that Toph was asleep 'cause she was snoring and Aang was talking to himself, so Katara thought he was asleep also. But Sokka wasn't rolling like he always did. Katara ignored the thought of him being awake.
She made her way to her bed, but a voice stopped her.
"Where were you last night?" Sokka questioned.
Katara hesitated to answer him.
"Answer me, Katara." Sokka demanded.
"No where." Katara said unsure.
Sokka stood up and walked over to her. He looked deep into her eyes.
"Really?" He said unbelievingly.
She nodded "yes", but Sokka still didn't believe her. He continued to stare at her. Katara winced. Sokka got up and returned to his bed and went back to sleep.
In the afternoon, Aang invited Katara to come into town with him and Toph.
"Sure."
"Great, let's go." Aang said as he pulled along the two girls.
In the market place, people were bustling around.
"Look you guys, posters for a two day festival." Aang said excitedly, "You guys want to go? It's tonight and tomorrow night."
Katara smiled and agreed, but Toph groaned. Katara gave Toph a that-was-the-wrong-action look.
"Why not?" She finally said. Aang squeezed her. Surprisingly, Toph kind of knew he would do that.
"It starts in an hour. We have to get ready." Aang said as he pulled the girls home.
"Zuk-, ur, Lee, look at this. Someone is hanging a poster up out front." Iroh said as he made his to the door.
"A festival, this is wonderful." Iroh exclaimed. Zuko rolled his eyes at the thought of being at a festival.
"We should go, but look; it's a two day festival. Hmm, I've got it. We'll work late tonight and take tomorrow night off." Iroh said.
Zuko sighed as he agreed with his uncle's idea.
That night…………
Everyone was swarming to see shows, hear music, ad test their skills with games.
"What should we do first?" Aang asked excitedly.
They all agreed that Aang should pick first since it was hiss idea to go the festival. He chose to see a show.
"That one." He said as he pointed to a big tent.
They looked inside. A few people were seated.
"Look here, the sign says the show starts in ten minutes." Katara said," Sokka, go get peanuts or something. Toph and Aang, stay here while I get some drinks."
They all agreed to meet behind the tent.
Aang started walking to the back of the tent. He looked behind him. Toph was just standing there.
"Come on, Top-" Aang was cut of by Toph motioning him to be quiet.
Then, she grabbed Aang's hand and darted to the back of the tent.
"What's going on?" Aang asked.
"I feel his vibrations. He's here, Appa." She answered.
Aang's eyes widened.
The teashop was full with people. When Iroh announced that they would be closed tomorrow night, people ordered their tea and sat outside for all the tables were taken.
Zuko bustled back and forth from the kitchen to tables and outside. All the time he wondered if Katara had gone to the fountains.
Aang hugged Appa, who he had just found thanks to Toph. He laughed and shed tears of joy. Aang turned around and looked at Toph. She smiled as she made her way over to Appa.
"We missed you." She said and the bison groaned with joy.
Toph whipped her head around.
"Someone's coming. It doesn't sound like Katara or Sokka." She as she worried.
Aang led Appa out of the cage. Aang jumped on him and put out his hand out for Toph. She grabbed it and sat right behind Aang 'cause they didn't have the saddle.
"Yip Yip." Aang said and they took flight. Aang tried to think of a place to put Appa, and then he thought of the zoo he had help make.
They made it without being seen. Toph created a section for Appa while talked with the keeper.
"He said that he would keep quiet." Aang said to Toph.
"You still ant to go to the show?" Toph asked.
"Sure." Aang replied. He waved at Appa. Appa closed his eyes happily.
The two benders made their way back to the festival.
"Sokka, hold the drinks." Katara said as she handed him four cups of water.
Katara looked around. When she spotted Aang and Toph, Aang was pulling Toph and running towards her.
"We found Appa." He said excitedly, "We leave in two days."
Katara stared at him.
"Yo, SugarQueen, we're leaving this jail." Toph happily said.
"Yeah, cool. Can you excuse me?" she said as she darted for the teashop.
She looked and saw that Zuko was working. Not wanting to bother him, she made her way to the fountains.
Zuko noticed her, but she didn't know that so she continued to walk.
"Uncle, can we close early or can I take a break?" Zuko asked.
"You can take a break. I can handle the shop for a while." Iroh said.
Zuko began to walk to the fountain.
