Chapter 22

Episode 3, Return to Omashu

After a few minutes of complete silence, Aang decided that he wanted to find Bumi, his old friend.

Katara told him to just find another teacher but Aang just wanted to find him. Sokka told me about Bumi. He apparently was crazy.

We ended up climbing on Appa who brought us to the bottom of the mountain. There, Aang opened a secret passage. It was basically just the sewers.

I grimaced at the smell coming out of it and closed my nose with two of my fingers. "I think I'll just wait for you here with Appa." I said and went back to Appa.

Sokka gabbed my shoulder, "No, you're coming. I'm not gonna suffer alone with these two."

I chuckled but held my nose again as soon as we got into the big pipe.

It was disgusting to walk in that mud-like water but luckily I could get the water out of my way with waterbedning.

It took us around 20 minutes to reach the city. We all got out of the sewers and when I turned around to wait for Sokka, a muddy creature came out.

I took a step back just like the others but then I realised that it was just Sokka.

Katara splashed water from a ton on Sokka to get the mud off of him. He looked at us with an unimpresed expression.

"Uhm.. Sokka, you have," I slowly said, pointing to his cheeks. His eyes widened and he screamed as he tried to get the mini octopus from his face.

"Don't scream," Katara said and we tried to calm him down but it didn't work until Aang attacked him with airbending.

Sokka sat down, pouting like a little child while Aang pulled the octopus from his cheeks.

"Hey," a loud voice called, making me jump, "What are you kids doing outside after curfew?"

Aang quickly hid behind us to cover up his arrow tattoo before popping back up.

"Sorry," Katara said with a smile, "We were just on our way home." We all turned around to walk to the other direction.

"Wait, what's the matter with him?" the guard stopped us. Well, looks like we have been caught.

The four of us turned around after we glanced at each other. "He has pentapox, sir," Katara said and grabbed Sokka's shoulder.

The guards came closer, "Stop, it's highly contagious," I suddenly yelled out. The guard looked at me with raised eyebrows. "You will die if you come closer," I said more seriously and slightly nudged Sokk's side.

He got my point and started groaning and coghing like a zombi. The guards believed us and ran away.

Witout wasting time, we continued our search for Aang's friend.

I was walking beside Katara and she told me about their adventures so far.

"You mean, Sokka put on a dress and make up just to join a training session full of girls?" I giggled and couldn't believe that happend without me being around. I would have seen that with pleasure.

Just when Katara opened her mouth, we heard a rumbling and stones came rolling down from above us. Aang quickly destroyed them when he saw they would have hit peope walking around below us.

Instead of calling out a 'thank you' a woman yelled "the Resistance" and pointed at Aang.

The guards immediately climbed up and a girl around our age threw a few small arrows at Aang. He dodged them and we immediately started to run away from there.
