The moon was out and the sky was full of stars and two parties were wandering out on the nearby mountains while the other searching the sky. Sokka and Zuko were searching the sky by any chance that Aang would have flown into the night, while Toph and Katara were still searching the mountains just in case Aang decided to take a rest. "I hope Aang is alright." , Katara started, "Yah, at lest we know he wont be cold since he mastered fire bending already", Toph replied, "and he wont be cold cause you taught him earth bending", Katara said complementing Toph on her skills, " And he won't be thirsty because you taught him water bending", Toph complemented Katara back, as they went on walking they noticed that the night was getting darker and colder and they were starting to feel afraid but they kept on searching, they weren't gonna give up that easily.
Eventually Sokka and Zuko joined them because it was already joined them because it was already to dark to see. Zuko used his fire bending to make a small fire in his hands to light the path ahead. "Man, where could he be!" , Sokka complained, "I still cant believe the Avatar would resort to such drastic measures to cure his heart problem, pathetic" ,Zuko said still caring less about the Avatar. They noticed Katara and Toph were silent ever since the others joined them, "Is their something wrong guys?" , Sokka asked looking worried, they didn't answer. "Come on guys, let's continue searching tomorrow", "NO!!" , Katara and Toph screamed at the top of their voices. "Whoa, these girls are sure worried about that pain in the neck" , Zuko thought, "NO, we'll keep on searching even if it takes all night!!" , Toph continued, "We wont leave him out here", Katara added.
"No can do guys, we need our rest if we want to keep on searching. We'll pick it up tomorrow", the girls said nothing.
Dawn was approaching and Aang was starting to awake. He had a dream about different moments in their adventures but he went on. He decided to walk because he wasn't in the mood to feel it the wind in his face, it would only remind him of the family he left behind.
Back at their camp site Toph and Katara couldn't sleep at all, they were to worried about Aang, while Toph was all cooped up in her earth tent sobbing away, Katara was thinking about Aang to much, Zuko came in to comfort her. "It's ok," , Zuko said while giving Katara a comforting hug which made her feel warm inside, "he'll survive, he's a tough kid, don't worry" , Zuko continued, Katara seemed to hold him tighter and tighter, seeking comfort from the prince, Zuko felt…needed…wanted…loved for the fist time in life. As he held Katara tighter, unknown to them Toph was secretly outside their tent being able to "feel" what they were doing, Toph decided to go on searching by herself
