Appa was flying through the night sky and everyone was asleep. The stars sparked behind the clouds and the moon shined bright. I was on my back admiring the view which reminded me of Zuko for some reason. It took me back to the moment I was staring into the ocean on the ship deck and him sneaking up on me.

"It's peaceful out here."

His voice rang through my head. Why am I thinking about him so damn much? I should be glad I'm away from that psycho but something inside me has sympathy for him. My eyes became heavy as my thoughts began to silence themselves. My last thought was seeing his face so close to mine, then I drifted to sleep.

Once I opened my eyes, I noticed that the sun was beaming down on me and that we were on the ground. I raised my head and saw Sokka, Katara, and Aang standing around Appa talking. I climbed down Appa's tail and walked up to them.

"Hey guys. What's going on?" their heads turned to me. Sokka then gave me a big hug. I patted his back and I could hear him whimper in my shoulder. "Uh...Sokka? You okay?" Katara rolled her eyes and smiled.

"He just missed you. He would not stop talking about how he was going to rescue you. Lucky for us, you found us before he did something stupid." I let out a small laugh and Sokka let go of me and turned to his sister.

"It was a solid plan! It would have worked!" I laughed again and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm sure it would have worked. Thanks for thinking of me but I can handle myself. I knew that we would be together again. Now we can focus on helping Aang end this war once and for all." All of them smiled and Aang gave me a head nod.

"Hey, I forgot to ask you this. What's with the outfit?" Sokka asks as he closely examines my outfit.

"Oh, right. Zuko gave it to me when we docked at a Fire Nation Harbor. He wanted to keep Aang a secret and having a water tribe girl on his ship would raise a lot of questions so he gave me these." Sokka didn't seem to like the new look but Aang stepped in.

"Well, I think it suits you. Maybe lose the red jacket so that people don't think you're from the fire nation."

"Right. Good Idea." I took off the red jacket and put it in Appa's saddle and followed Aang, Katara, and Sokka towards the edge of the cliff.

"The Earth Kingdom City of Omashu!" We all looked in the distance and saw a huge city made of rocks ahead of us and we were all astonished by the sight. "I used to always come here to visit my friend Bumi."

"Wow! We don't have cities like this in the south pole." Katara says.

"They have buildings here that don't melt." Sokka says.


"Looks...rocky." I say with my arms crossed. Aang turns around to face us.

"Well, Let's go, Slowpokes. The real fun is inside the city!" He then jumps down the cliff and slides down the side a few feet.

"Wait, Aang!" Katara yells out, causing Aang to stop. "It could be dangerous if people find out you're the Avatar." Sokka then takes a few steps closer to Aang.

"You need a disguise."

"So, what am I supposed to do, grow a mustache?" Then a light bulb went off in my head.

"I think I have an idea." I said with a smirk.

*Time Skip*

I made Aang a tall hat and a mustache made out of Appa's fur and Once I took a step back, Aang started to complain.

"Oh, This is so itchy. How do you live in this stuff?" He asked Appa but Appa just looked and snorted air at him.

"Great! Now you look just like my grandfather." Sokka says while he sits on a rock. Katara then turns to her brother with her arms crossed.
