Forbidden Love

Chapter 28: A Little Bit of Brainwashing

Chloe's P.O.V.

I laid on the floor next to Sokka as he was painting lost Appa posters.

"We found a printer to make our posters," Katara exclaimed as her and Aang rushed back into the apartment holding out the poster.

"Oh, good because I don't think Sokka's posters are gonna help much," I said to them as I held up one of Sokka's posters.

"Hey, I think I did a good job, besides, I thought designing the lost Appa poster was my job, I've been working all day on my Appa," Sokka stated as he held up his poster.

I turned myself onto my stomach looking at the one his hand. I snickered as I quickly covered my mouth to keep from laughing. Katara was also trying not to laugh. Sapphire didn't care. She was laughing not being able to stop.

"Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's head," Aang told Sokka sternly.

"This is his head," Sokka said to him as he turned his paper.

Katara stepped up to him as she took the paper.

"Why are feet coming out of it?" Katara asked him casually.

"Those are his horns!" Sokka exclaimed snatching the paper back.

Sokka put his head down in shame as he spoke sadly:

"I haven't seen him in awhile okay?"

I pressed my lips together as I rested my hand on his leg, running it back and forth over his knee slightly.

"It looks just like him to me," Toph suddenly spoke up.

Sokka perked his head towards Toph.

"Thank you, I worked really hard–Why do you feel the need to do that?" He asked her annoyed.

Sapphire laughed, "Sokka, you're such a moron," she said to him casually.

"Let's just stick with the professional version," Katara told her brother kindly.

Sokka shouted of frustration as he tore his poster into pieces.

"Little problem there Sokka?" Sapphire asked him sarcastically.

"Be quiet Sapphire," he told her annoyed.

"Come on, let's get busy!" Aang exclaimed as he held out a handful of mini posters.

I sat watching as Katara and Sokka played the four elements tile game together. I looked as Aang came through the door as he said:

"I just finished dropping all the leaflets. Has anyone come in with news about Appa?"

He rushed over to the table.

"It's only been a day. Just be patient," Katara said to him casually.

Sadness crossed Aang as he sat down. After sitting he leaned down to the table intently watching Sokka and Katara playing their game. A knock sounded at the door, causing Aang to spring to his feet.

"Wow, you're right! Patience really pays off!"

He rushed to the door opening it excitedly.

"Joo Dee?-"

All of us stood walking over to Aang.

"Hello Aang, and Katara and Sokka and Chloe and Sapphire and Toph," she spoke looking straight forward as she stepped inside.

"What happened to you? Did the Dia Lee throw you in jail?" Sokka asked her curiously.

"What? Jail? Of course not, the Dia Lee are the protectors of our cultural heritage," she told Sokka.
