Hey guys! Just to let you know, I'm going to try and keep these chapters about one page long. But let me know if that's too short! Enjoy! And please review when you're done! Oh, and I noticed a typo in the last chapter, when Aang wakes up it says "Immediately upon the very loud impact, he and the other five bodies gained consciousness…" I meant to say "the other four bodies…" Sorry!
"Why do you ask?" Replied Toph, "Do you want me to think otherwise?" Layton shook his head. "No, I was just curious, do you deem yourself something of a human lie detector?" "Why yes," Toph stuck her nose snootily into the air as she spoke. "as a matter if fact I do!" "And, how do you do it?" "With earth bending;" Toph said as she settled down and dropped her arms in almost disbelief. "what other way is there?" "And what, might I ask, is earth bending?" Toph, Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Zuko's jaws dropped at this statement.
"HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT EARTH BENDING IS! WHERE DO YOU LIVE? UNDER A ROCK?!" Toph yelled with anger evident in her voice, apparently people not knowing what earth bending was upset her quite a bit. "Calm down, Toph!" Aang said to Toph after her outburst. "Hershel, I'm sorry for Toph's behavior, she's just never seen anyone who doesn't know about earth bending… Nether have the rest of us, actually. Tell me, do you know about the other three elements? Air, water, and fire?" The professor nodded, you're talking about Aristotle's four elements! According to him, everything except space itself is made of air, water, earth and fire. But I'm still not sure what 'bending' is."
"Well," Aang said. "to bend an element is basically to move anything with your specific element in it without touching it. And in some cases to… create it, in a sense. Only the Avatar can bend all four elements, and some people can't bend at all!" "And you're the Avatar, correct?" Layton asked, "Yes, yes I am." Aang answered. "Katara is a water bender, Toph, as you've probably noticed, is an earth bender, Zuko is a fire bender, and Sokka is a non-bender." "Fascinating…" Was all the professor could say, "I'd demonstrate bending to you, but if I earth bend, I'd destroy some type of machinery in the ground. If I air bend, I'd hurt somebody, this room is pretty small. I have no water to water bend. And it's too cold in here to fire bend." Aang answered,
"Wait!" said Katara finally. "I have water! I can demonstrate my healing powers! Hershel's face doesn't look to good!" Layton blushed, "Yeah, I was… in an accident." he said to cover up Buttercup's guilt. Katara walked up the him and bended some water out of a pouch on her side and onto the Layton's lips. His eyes grew wide as the water started to glow, and his lips started to hurt a lot less. "What in the world?!" Emmy stated in a shocked voice when she saw this. "Where do you come from? Another world?!"
