Third person POV:

"I can't believe how many people's lives have been uprooted by the fire nation." Katara looked around.

"This is only a small fraction of the refugees, there are a lot more." Saori walked forward. "There's the ticket counter."

The others followed the girl as they walked to the stall.

"My cabbages!" The merchant bawled as he got taken away.

"How does he keep coming here?" Saori muttered to herself.

"Next!"

"Um, five tickets for the ferry to Ba Sing Se please." Aang requested.

"Passports?"

"Uh, no-one told us that we had to have passports."

"Don't you know who this is? He's the Avatar!" Sokka joined in.

"I see fifty avatars a day and by the way, not a very impressive costume." The woman pointed to multiple people dressed as Aang. "Besides, no animals allowed. Do I need to call security?"

"Next!"

"We'll take care of this." Toph and Saori walked forward.

"My name is Toph Beifong and I'll need four tickets." Toph gave the woman her passport.

"Saori, and I'll need one ticket." Saori kept her passport next to Toph's.

Toph's passport had a symbol of a flying boar while Saori's passport had a symbol of the word 'soul'. (魂)

The lady's eyes widened. "Oh they golden seal of the flying boar and the Sorcerer! It is my pleasure to help anyone of the Beifong family and you." She bowed.

"It is your pleasure." Saori and Toph replyed.

"As you can see, I am blind and these three imbeciles are my valets." Toph pointed to Aang, Katara and Sokka.

"But the animal-"

"Is my seeing eye lemur." Toph completed.

"But why is the Sorcerer traveling with you?"

"Lady Beifong's father has appointed me to make sure her and her valets get to Ba Sing Se safely." Saori whipped out a lied.

The woman bought the lie, "Well, normally it's only one ticket per passport but these documents are so official, I guess it's worth four tickets."

"Thank you very much." Saori took her ticket and handed Toph the rest.

"Alright we scammed that lady good!" Sokka grinned.

"Tickets and passports please." A girl stopped Sokka.

"Is there a problem?" Sokka nervously asked.

"Yea, I've got a problem with you. I've seen your type before, probably sarcastic think you're hilarious and let me guess, you're travelling with the Avatar?"

"Do I know you?"

"You mean you don't remember? Maybe you remember this." The girl kissed Sokka's cheek.

"Suki!"

"Sokka! It's good to see you!"

"Suki?" Saori looked back.

"Sorcerer? I see you've joined them." Suki smiled.

"I don't have a choice." Saori shrugged.
