Chapter 5
It had taken the work of everyone, even Kichi, to finally calm Appa down, though Kichi was ashamed of what they had had to do. Suki had a Shershu tranquilizer in her study and had had to use it on him. From there they tied him down. Momo had quickly come to the rescue, pawing sadly at Appa's still form. The mad little lemur from before was back to his loving and adorable self as soon as Aang had left the room. Katara had led him away crying.
"What the heck just happened?" Toph asked as they regrouped in an empty room nearby. "Why would Appa act like that?"
"I don't know," said Suki sadly. "Wherever he's been these last few weeks, it apparently hasn't been a very great place."
"But this is Aang were talking about," Zuko said. "Appa would never attack Aang. And neither would Momo."
"Maybe they have rabies or something," Suki suggested.
Kichi shook her head. "No. I don't think so."
"So much for Aang's 'prediction'," Zuko said, folding his arms and slumping down against the wall.
