To say that after the connection fiasco had happened, everything was much easier, would be a lie.  Well, not a total lie. Asha had stopped getting into fights as much (Aang being able to tell her emotional state before she could visibly show them) and in turn Asha could tell when Aang was at his lowest, both in confidence and in hope (for finding Appa).The group had noticed a change in both their attitudes, and it was definitely for the better. But, it was almost harder to tell what the unpredictable air benders were doing as they would talk to each other, and then do whatever it was they decided.

That didn't matter now though. 

Aang and Katara had left to try and find a printer for posters, leaving the other four to stay in the house. Which in hindsight, was most likely the worst idea anybody could have. As of right now Toph lays on the ground, Momo licking her foot as Sokka lays on his stomach painting on a peice of parchment. As for Raiko and Asha... The water bender was trying to look for his student, who recently disappeared into the rafters; no one seeing her since. Zulu remains beside Sokka, so there was no help there. He had tried up to go into the rafters as well, but between his more masculine figure and the fact he didn't have the air bending boost, it was useless.

"Asha, I'm going to maim you!" Raiko growls looking up, he only hears a giggle and shuffling.  With a groan, Raiko plops next to Toph, the Earth bender not even flinching.  

"Aw, give up on finding Nova already?" Toph laughs, Raiko letting out another groan.  Their silenced as the front door slams open, the two missing benders rushing in. 

"We found a printer to make our posters!" Katara cheers happily as she holds up a wonderfully done picture of Appa and Gumi, Aang behind her smiling and pointing at it. 

"I thought designing 'the lost animal poster' was my job! I've been working all day on them." Sokka whines, holding up his own crude drawing. 

"Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's head." Aang looks at the picture, perplexed and confused as Katara struggles to hold her giggles. 

'I think that is his head. Not that is looks like it.'  Aang can hear Asha think, looking around only to be disappointed as he can't find her. Sokka whines a confirmation of the thought, Katara continuing to mock the picture. 

'Where even are you?'  Aang continues spinning around, only to be shocked back a few steps as Asha lands in front of him with a graceful flip. 

"Right here." Asha laughs as she walks to sit next to Sokka. 

"It looks just like him to me." Toph compliments, Asha nor Raiko missing the irony in the statement as they snort to themselves.

"Thank you, I worked really... Why do you feel the need to do that?" Sokka grunts as realization sets in, the three laughing. 

"Let's just stick with the professional version." Raiko stands, grabbing a stack from Katara as he speaks. Sokka violently ripping the drawing to tiny shreds. 

"Come on, let's get busy!" Aang cheers, grabbing his and Asha's staff, throwing the girl hers.

"Oh, I simply took a short vacation to Lake Laogai, out in the country. It was quite relaxing."  Joo Dee, the same one from when they arrived, spoke.  She had knocked on their door shortly after the air benders returned, the reason still unknown as to why. 

"But then they replaced you with some other woman who also said her name was Joo Dee." Katara says, looking to their guide.

"I'm Joo Dee."
