Dawn is approaching, but the sky is cloudy so it is still quite dark. A cough is heard, It was Sokka in his sleeping bag resting on Appa, Aang Katara, and Katzumi are facing him. A fire burns behind them. The group were resting in an abandoned temple after Sokka and gone ill.

"This should bring your fever down." Katara wiping his forehead with a wet cloth.

"You know what I love about Appa the most? His sense of humor." Sokka says sickly

"That's nice. I'll tell him." Katara says

Appa grunts at Sokka in response.

"Haha! Classic Appa." Sokka yells

"How's Sokka doing?" Aang ask as he walks over to the us

"Not so good. Being out in that storm really did a number on him." Katzumi informs him.

Sokka shivers in his sleeping bag and snorting back his runny nose.

"I couldn't find any ginger root for the tea, but I found a map." Aang produces a scroll. He spreads out the scroll on the ground.

"There's an herbalist institute on the top of that mountain. We could probably find a cure for Sokka there." Aang points to the map

"Aang, he's in no condition to travel. Sokka just needs more rest. I'm sure he'll be better by tomorrow." Katara begins to cough.

"Not you too!" Kaztumi asked.

"Relax, it was just a little cough. I'm fine –" She cuts herself off with more coughing.

"That's how Sokka started yesterday. Now look at him – he thinks he's an earth bender" Aang points to the boy

"Take that, you rock!" Sokka said swinging at something that isn't there.

"A few more hours and you'll be talking nonsense too.  I'm going to find some medicine." He Gets up and grabbing his staff.

" I'm going too" Katzumi stands up

Aang opens his glider and walks to the edge of the temple. A huge flash of lightning strikes

"Uh, maybe it's safer if I go on foot. Keep an eye on'em guys." He tells Appa and Momo

Aang turns to Katzumi and smiles, He lifts her and launches himself into the air, landing far down the hill the temple sits on she grip his the back of his neck in worry. Aang zooms by at high speed, using his airbending to accelerate his running speeds

Aang drops Katzumi gently on her feet. He then grabs her hand and we run up the steps on the herbalist institute. the duo reach the top and run into a circular wooden building. to find an old woman.

"Hello! I'm sorry to barge in like this, but I need some medicine for my friends. They have fevers and they've been coughing and–" Aang yells out but was cut off by the Herbalist

"Settle down, young man. Your friends are going to be fine. I've been up here for over forty years you know, used to be others, but they all left years ago. Now it's just me and Miyuki." She explains

"That's nice." Katzumi adds in.

"Wounded Earth Kingdom troops still come by now and again, brave boys, and thanks to my remedies they always leave in better shape they when they arrive." The old lady tell us.

"That's nice. Are you almost done?" Aang adds in again.

"Hold on, I just need to add one last ingredient.  Oh, sandalwood... oh, er, uh, that won't do, banana leaf? Ah, nope, uh, ginger root, uh uh, oh where is that pesky little plant?" she walks amongst the shrubbery, looking around and muttering to herself
