I took a closer look at her, as the memory of that mole thing's tongue paralyzed me, and the only way to defeat it was through perfume. 

"Isn't she the one that attack us with that big Mole thingy?" I questioned.

"Yup, back in the good ole days." Zuko replied as he walks towards her.

"Oh great. It's Prince Pouty." she said nonchalantly, yet sarcastically. "Where's your creepy grandpa?"

"He's my uncle. And he's not here." Zuko retorted. 

"I see you worked things out with your girlfriend." 

Zuko and Katara who become flustered and embarrassed, looking at each other. Then back at her saying that they aren't together. 

"Okay, okay. Sheesh. I was only teasing." she said, "So what do you want?"

"I need your help finding the Avatar." Zuko offered. 

"Hm. Doesn't sound too fun." she replied, as she begins to sip on her tea. 

Zuko grits his teeth ang angrily leans closer, clenching his fists, "Does the end of the world sound like more fun?" With Zuko's ominous answer, she froze mid way. Then looks back at him. 

Back outside, Appa and Nyla the giant mole appeared to be laying down next to each other. They both stand up as the gang and June walks toward them. June, carrying a piece of raw meat. "Nyla." she says, grabbing the attention of the furious beast. The monster then snatches the meat with lightning speed the minute it's been thrown up in the air, causing Tariqq to mewl slightly, "Who's my little, hmm, Snuffly-Wuffly?"  suddenly, the beast whips out it's toxin coated tongue out, Luckily June dodges it and forces it's mouth close. 

"  Okay. So who's got something with the Avatar's scent on it?" she asked, fixing a hair out of her face.

"I have Aang's staff." Katara said, taking out Aang's glider from Appa's saddle.  June takes the glider from Katara, and approaches the beast holding the staff out in front of it. Nyla sniffs it, and sniffs the air. Then, it began to walk in circles until it drops to the ground, covering it's nose. 

"Well, what does that mean?" Zuko questioned. 

"Means your friend's gone." June replied, petting the cowed animal. 

" We know he's gone. That's why we're trying to find him." Toph spoke.

June stands up, "No, I mean he's gone gone. He doesn't exist." she answered turning to us.

"B-But that impossible!" I exclaimed, "It's not like he vanished into thin air,"

"Exactly," Sokka added, "You don't mean he's ... you know, dead?"

"Nope. We could find him if he were dead. Wow, it's a real head-scratcher. See ya." she said, climbing up onto Nyla. 

"Well that was helpful," I muttered, folding my arms.

"Real helpful." Toph added, sarcastically. 

"Wait. I have another idea." Zuko spoke up, "There's only one other person in this world who can help us face the Fire Lord. I'll be right back with a smell sample." 

Later, Zuko comes out with a smelly sandal.

"You saved your uncle's sweaty sandal? Ugh!" Sokka exclaimed in disgust, pinching his nose.

"I think it's kind of sweet." Toph said, smiling.

"You would be the only one to say that." Tariqq muttered under his breath.

Zuko places the sandal in front of the beast.

"Let's do this." June said, with a determined smile, as Nyla gallops off.
