After a long day of traveling, we had made camp by a nearby stream. The next morning after all of us woke up, we sat around the campfire. I was drinking my ginseng tea, one of my personal favorites, when suddenly we heard something slashing in the water.
"Look!" shouted Katara standing, making Sokka jolt up.
We looked and saw a large green fish, leaping in and out of the water. Sokka glared at the fish for a long while then said, "He is taunting us! You are so going to be dinner!"
Sokka immediately ran for his fishing rod and as he was about to toss the line, he realized there was no line, "Hey, where's the fishing line?"
"Oh, I didn't think you'd need it Sokka," said Aang as he showed Sokka the woven fishing line.
"AW! It's all tangled!" complained Sokka.
"Not tangled woven," corrected Aang as he stood up and turn his attention to Katara, "I made you a necklace Katara." The necklace of fishing line also had a pink flower as the center piece. "I thought since you lost your other one..."
"Thanks Aang. I love it," smiled Katara as Aang gave her the necklace.
"What happened to your other one?" I asked.
"It's kind of a long story," said Katara as she adjusted the necklace.
"Great Aang," sighed Sokka, "Maybe instead of saving the world, you can go into the jewelry making business?"
"I don't see why I can't do both," shrugged Aang.
The fish continued to leap around in the water, in frustration Sokka threw the fishing pole at the fish, but missed.
"Stop taunting me!" shouted Sokka as he pulled out his machete and ran into the water.
"Only boys think fish are taunting them," I sighed as I took another sip of my tea..
"So..how do I look?" asked Katara.
Aang then began to blush hard as he tugged on his collar, "You mean all of you or just your neck? I mean they both look great."
"Smoochy Smoochy," teased Sokka holding the fish, "Someone's in love." As Sokka fished the fish wiggled out of his grip and smacked him in the face.
"I-I...well," stuttered Aang as Momo climbed on his shoulder.
"Stop teasing him Sokka," scolded Katara, "Aang's just a good friend a sweet little guy, just like Momo."
"Thanks," said Aang a little disappointed with Katara's response.
I sighed again as Sokka gave up on the fish, soaking wet, "Done playing in the water Sokka?"
As Sokka was about to say something, a roar so loud, it made me spill my tea, was heard from close by. We quickly darted down the stream and saw an old man being attacked by a platypus bear.
"Someone's being attacked by a platypus bear!" shouted Aang as we arrived.
The enrage platypus bear swung at the old man, who had a smile on his face as he smoothly dodged the platypus bear's claws.
"Well, hello there," greeted the old man noticing us, "Nice day isn't it?"
"Nice day?!" I thought.
"Make noise he'll run off!" shouted Aang.
"No play dead he'll lose interest!" shouted Sokka.
The old man then dodged another attack from the platypus bear, "Whoa close one!"
"Is he playing with it?!" I asked in disbelief.
"Run down hill and climb a tree!" shouted Katara.
