Sokkas pov
Appas been gone for a while I've been working on the posters to find him. This one looks great! This'll help the search for sure!
My sister barges in with printed posters
"Hey I thought designing the posters was my job?"
"The arrows on appa's head sokka not there"
"This is his head!"
"It looks just like him to me!"
"Thank you toph- wait"
The blind bandit strikes again
Heavy SIGH

(Y/n) pov
We've been working hard at this tea shop and our hard work is finally paying off! Iroh got offered his very own tea shop in the inner ring! Which is so exciting.
"How about the jasmine dragon?" Irohs excited tone made it clear he's been thinking about this for a while.

Zuko pulls out a leaflet with appa on it
"The avatar is here, and he's lost his bison"
"Appas missing! That's horrible!"
"This could be the opportunity I've been waiting for!"
"What do you mean?"
"If I capture the bison I can retore-"
"Zuko! I swear to all that is holy in this world if you say your honor im going to smack you upside the head"
Iroh nods in agreement
"Also his name is APPA" I slam my hands on the table and storm off.
If aang needs help I know I can be of some use. A gut feeling stops me in my tracks.

I know that stubborn prince is going to do something, I head back and of course he's gone. Iroh left me a note saying that he went to follow zuko. What a pain in the ass, I gotta go make sure he doesn't harm that fluff ball.

I finally catch up with iroh and we stay hidden, zuko goes into these tunnels under some lake. "Lake laogai?" I whisper softly, what an odd name. The erie onbiounce of the tunnels gives me a sickening feeling. Something else is going on, somebody needs help I can just sense it. We approach a door that zuko had snuck into. I keep silent not to interrupt what iroh will for sure say.

"Uncle?"
"So the blue spirit! I wonder who it could be behind that mask?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I was just about to ask you the same thing, what do you plan to do now that you have found the avatars bison? Keep it locked up in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of tea for him?" Iroh is so at zuko at this point I quickly sneak around their conversation and start unlocking the chains on appa.

"First I gotta get him out of here"
"And then what! You never think these things through! This is exactly what happened when you captured the avatar in the northpole, you had him and then you had no where to go!"
"I would of figured something out"
"No! If his friends hadn't found you, you would have frozen to death!"
"I know my own destiny uncle"
Is it your own destiny or is it a destiny someone has tried to for on you?"

Zuko in a confused rage swings his blades down upon the chains setting the rest of appa free.
"Go appa be safe" i give my fluffy friend a big hug and he breaks out and flies off.
I glare at zuko who just seems off. At least he didn't try to harm appa, that would be a straight agnekai on the spot!

We make it out of there undetected, zuko tosses his mask into the water as we leave. I hope and pray appa finds his way back to Aang, I'm sure he will though.

"Hey zuko" in a soft voice I look towards him
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for that"
"Well, it wasn't for you"
"I know I just, thank you"

We go back home in silence, once we walk through the door zuko faints. Iroh and I lunge to catch him, suddenly the world felt like it stopped.
"Zuko!"
