Avatar The Last Airbender: "Touched By Fire And Earth" (Toph Beifong)

S2 Ep17: Lake Laogai

The Reason i've skipped Episode 16 is because i really like that episode and i wanted to leave it as it is and everyone knows what happens anyway and that's all. I hope everyone can understand that.

Over the past few hours, I found myself watching Sokka's attempts at drawing pictures of Appa for our flyers. Unfortunately, each attempt seemed to fall short, and I could feel my patience wearing thin. "Dude, it seems like you're really struggling with these," I commented, trying to offer some constructive criticism.

"Shut up," Sokka retorted, shooting me a glare. Just then, Aang and Katara entered the house, their faces beaming with excitement. Curiosity piqued, I was eager to find out what had them so thrilled.

"We found a printer to make our posters," Katara announced, proudly displaying the finished poster. To my surprise, it turned out much better than I had anticipated.

"Hey, I thought designing the 'Lost Appa' poster was my job," Sokka complained, clearly annoyed. He showcased his latest attempt, which was undeniably a disaster.

"And like I said before, it's terrible and should be set on fire," I remarked, crossing my arms to emphasize my point.

Following our discussion, Aang set out to distribute copies of the poster throughout the Upper, Middle, and Lower rings. Meanwhile, I decided to stay back at the house and join Katara and Sokka in a game that had caught my interest.

X POV:

As I strolled along the street, Jin clasped my arm tightly. Ever since our first date, we had been spending more and more time together. Being in her presence filled me with joy, and I couldn't help but feel that our connection had the potential to blossom into something truly beautiful. As we continued our leisurely walk, engaging in delightful conversation, fate intervened.

Out of nowhere, an object dropped right in front of me. Curiosity piqued, I bent down to retrieve it, only to realize it was a poster advertising the lost Avatar's Bison. My interest was instantly piqued. It promised but also because it might lead me to cross paths with Scorpion once again.

Realizing the significance of this discovery, I turned to Jin and explained that I had to return to the shop. I gave her a tender and passionate kiss, silently promising that I would return soon. With a sense of urgency, I left the scene, making my way towards the tea shop. And there, to my surprise, stood Zuko, clutching the very same poster in his hand. A knowing smile played on my lips as I remarked, "Seems like we have some work to do."

Scorpion POV:

The game we were engrossed in, Sokka, Katara, and myself had reached an intense point, and the excitement was palpable. Amidst our focused play, I couldn't help but notice Toph in the corner, bouncing a ball off the wall and catching it effortlessly. Just then, Aang returned, making his way inside.

"I just finished distributing all the leaflets. Has anyone heard any news about Appa?" he inquired, taking off his bag and placing it down.

"It's only been a day. Let's be patient," Katara advised, her eyes fixed on her card tile.

I glanced up from my tiles. "Yeah, it's not like someone will knock on the door any second now," I remarked, returning my attention to the game.

Right at that very moment, a rapid knock echoed from the door, causing me to raise an eyebrow. "Seriously?" I quipped, finding the timing incredibly peculiar. Aang, brimming with excitement, swiftly got up and rushed over to open the door.

As Aang swung open the door, a wave of disappointment and shock washed over all of us when we saw Joo Dee standing there, wearing the same eerie, unwavering smile. "Joo Dee?" Aang questioned, clearly taken aback.
