So, someone PM'ed me asking when this takes place. No, it's not an AU. This story takes place right when they get the house. They have to fly there, but since Appa is tired they stay in the woods for a break for a few days. A guest who calls herself Ari in going to be in my chapter. R&R people!
I woke up at the buttcrack of dawn to Sokka and Aang arguing.
"The cake is NOT a lie!"
"Is too!"
I looked around to see Toph's sleeping bag empty, Katara cooking breakfast over a fire, Zuko meditating, and Suki practicing her martial arts and fan-fighting on something called "the Melon Lord", a melon on a stick. It was supposed to be a Firelord Ozai dummy. It had been 4 days since the meeting in the woods. We were officially dating, but keeping it a secret since everyone since everyone was still getting used to me (and Zuko, too). And Sokka was still kinda suspicious of me after catching us walking back from the woods 2 nights ago. These meetings between Zuko and I were our getaway, where we could be free to be romantic. But anyways,
"Actually, Aang, the cake is not a lie." I say, standing up and walking away to feed Appa and Momo (this had become my job since I was the only one not afraid of Appa's huge mouth, and Momo liked me for some reason).
I pet the sky bison's giant fuzzy head.
"Open up, big guy." Appa obediently opens his mouth. I put some hay in. Momo flies over and lands on my head. I gave him some leachy nuts and he makes his little chirping sound.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." I hear behind me.
"Hello?" I ask cautiously.
"Zai, can you come over here?" It's Toph.
"Sure." I follow the sound of her voice until I come to her. She looks terrible, white as a sheet. "What's wrong?" I ask.
"I... threw up really bad behind that tree, and I feel really sick." She moans. I fell her forehead.
"Wow, you're burning up. Come on, let's go to Katara. She'll help." I reassure. She takes my hand and I lead her over to our only healer. I decide not to stick around and instead take over making breakfast. Zuko is still meditating along with Aang, and Sokka is taking his turn with the Melon Lord. Suki goes off to pick berries. Finally breakfast is done.
"Breakfast's ready!" I call, and everyone comes running over (except Toph). I serve them all turtleduck eggs.
"We need to go to the market. Toph is sick, and if I hear Sokka complain about lack of meat one last time, I'm gonna lose it." Katara announces.
"What? I'm DYING!" Sokka says. We all roll our eyes.
After breakfast, we make a list of everything we need before we get to the house.
"Um, guys, this stuff is in all different places of the market. It'd take hours to get around to buy this stuff." Suki says.
"So we split up. I'll go with Suki, Katara stays here with Toph, Aang goes with Zuko and Zai." We agree to this arrangement, and go to the market.
-Sokka and Suki-
"Okay, the first thing we need is meat." Sokka says to his girlfriend.
"No, the first thing on our list is... hay for Appa." Sokka's eye twitches.
A girl with short blonde hair was in the farm store, selling hay. Her nametag said Hello my name is Ari
"Welcome to the Farm- OH MY GAWD YOU'RE SOKKA!" Ari said.
"At your service."
Ari glomped Sokka.
"Get-Thi-CRAZY CHICK OFFA ME!" Sokka screamed.
Suki grinned. This was going to be a long day.
-Katara and Toph-
"Kataraaaaaaaa..." Toph mumbles.
"What?"
Glurp. Toph throws up all over Katara.
"You're secretly enjoying this, aren't you?" Katara asks. Toph makes an evil grin.
-Zai, Zuko, and Aang-
"Cool!" Aang exclaimed, looking at Appa plushies. While he was looking away, Zuko and I held hands. We exchanged grins. Every time Aang looked back at us, we'd drop hands and whistle innocently. Finally we arrived at the herbalist.
"Oh, come in." The old lady said. Miyuki mewed from the back.
"Not you again!" Aang groaned.
-oO0Oo-
We returned to the clearing to find Toph even worse than we had left her.
"Do you have the medicine?" Katara asked desperately. I handed her the tonic.
"Tomorrow, we are leaving for the house." Sokka announced. we agreed.
So this was my longest chapter, but of course it's a filler. I'm so proud of my 770 words! Okay, so bye. -ZFP
