One ride, then we're off to the North Pole, Airbender's honor." Aang said. He was sitting in the front of the chute that overlooked a vertical drop. Katara was behind him, (Y/n) behind her, and Sokka was the last. It was small for four people, and (Y/n) was nearly on Sokka's lap.

He didn't seem troubled by it at all.

Katara looked uncomfortable. "This sounded like fun at first, but now that I'm here, I'm starting to have second thoughts!"

Sokka and (Y/n) grabbed the edges of the chute. He snickered in her ear. "You sure you can hold onto that with only four fingers, Pinky?"

(Y/n) elbowed him hard enough that he grunted. This was dangerous. She came here to find her training centre, but she was dragged to a death slide.

There was no warning as Aang tilted the chute. The three of them were shrieking as the wind practically tore their faces off. A rack of spears dropped down another other chute and after the two paths merged, Sokka pulled (Y/n) to duck, his body a shield. Aang noticed the distress and shouted, "I'm on it! I'm on it!"
Aang started rocking the bin back and forth in the chute, and then they derailed, making (Y/n) scream as they freefell on a rooftop, her teeth clattering with the bumpy ride.

The bin fell between a General and a line of soldiers, Aang grabbing the front of the bin with his foot in Katara's face. (Y/n) had indeed lost her grip because she had bit her tongue and she was mid-air—screeching—and Sokka was panicking, his legs raised to catch her, hands not daring to let go of the bin.
His legs wrapped around her waist and pulled so hard she was jolted back into the bin harshly, her grip now wrapped around Sokka tight enough to make him wheeze. Aang air-bended to propel the bin back into the air and then into another chute line.

Katara screamed, "Aang, do something! Use your airbending!"

"Yeh! Good idea! That'll make us go even faster!"

(Y/n) snapped up. "No-"

They sped up, inevitably. And when they had their hearts in the throats because of a possible collision, an earth-bender pushed it away, making them sigh. But then the earth-bender raised another chute and they knocked right into it, screaming as they were all thrown out of the bin, and they landed in a heap, but the bin had struck right into the poor Cabbage Man's cart.

Aang, who was at the bottom, used his powers to bend his friends off him. He sheepishly said, "Two cabbages please."

After being dragged to the King, getting a feast thrown for them, (Y/n) and Sokka laughing at his Kangaroo pun, and being discovered as the Avatar and friends, Aang had to agree to face three deadly challenges to leave. They were then escorted to the refurbished chamber that was once bad.

They each had a bed, and when night fell, (Y/n) couldn't get a wink of sleep. Sokka, on the other hand, was snoring loud enough to keep her awake and alert for the guards. She had to time it right. Because of Aang, she couldn't find the dojo she had once trained in, and they had to hurry along after the challenges, so she didn't want to waste time. She had a whole day to find out her past.

So when everyone was asleep, (Y/n) got up and waited where the wall would open. When it did open, she acted like a pro, kicking the guards and knocking them out before they had a chance to even earth-bend. The others hadn't woken up, because every time a guard had tried to sound the alarm, they found themselves in a blissful sleep as she pressed their pressure points.

Soon, all four guards were unconscious. She'd have a few minutes before they woke up, so she bolted out of there, using the shadows to her advantage. Using a window that overlooked the city, (Y/n) leaped out and tumbled down the roofs, thanking every entity out there for her abilities.
She hid in a tree, crouched uncomfortably till morning came, and then she got out and asked a citizen where she could find a dojo. He mentioned one place that luckily, was quite close by. (Y/n) made her way to the place, ducking away when guards patrolled.
