Avatar: The Last Airbender

Part 4 (The Great Divide)

Sokka grumbled from inside the tent. You watched as it rocked back and forth, before it seemed to spit Sokka out. Katara walked forward, her arms holding sticks.

"Um, aren't you forgetting the tarp?"

"Right. Got it." He replied, throwing the rolled up tarp into the net. You raised an eyebrow.

"Sokka, you're supposed to put the tarp on top of the tent. Ya know, so we don't get rained on."

"Ordinarily you'd be right. But seeing how it's the dry season, you're not. Besides, that tarp makes a pretty warm blanket." He retorted.

"But what if it does rain?" She questioned.

"What if it doesn't? I don't want to put the tarp up for nothing."

Katara stomped, like a three-year-old. "Urgh! You're infuriating!"

"Katara, why don't you worry about gathering the firewood, because that kindling is looking pretty sorry."

"Well, if you don't like my firewood-" She cut herself off, throwing the sticks at her brother, who stood.

"Fine by me! If you're not going to do your job-" Sokka cut himself off as well, pulling a rope on the tent, making it collapse. Your jaw dropped in shock and anger. Aang walked over.

"Okay, I got the grub if you guys got the-" Aang cut himself off, seeing the disaster. "Hey, where's the campfire? And what happened to the tent?"

"Why don't you ask miss-know-it-all? Queen of the twigs?" Sokka said, arms crossed, back facing his sister.

"Oh, yeah? Well you're mister-lazy-bum. King of the....tents?" Katara retorted lamely. You and Aang shared a look.

"Listen guys, harsh words won't solve problems. Action will. Why don't you just switch jobs?" Aang advised. Your eyes brightened at his idea.

"Sounds good." Katara agreed.

"Whatever." Sokka replied, dismissively.

"You see that? Settling feuds and making peace. All in a day's work for the Avatar." Aang declared.

"Aang, I hate to break it to you, but a small sibling argument is hardly and practice for the real world. Siblings fight all the time." You informed. "It's not like it's a nation war, or even a tribe war."

Suddenly, a noise was heard. You and the young Avatar turned, seeing Appa and Momo fighting over a fruit. Well, more accurately, Appa was holding the fruit in place with one finger(?) while Momo was trying desperately to get it. Momo seemed to give up and leave, but when Appa went to eat it, Momo grabbed the fruit and gave it to Aang, who cut it into two pieces, one significantly larger than the other.

Appa gladly ate his piece, while Momo seemed less-than-thrilled.

"Come on, Momo. That's fair. Appa's got five stomachs." Aang informed.

"There it is, guys." Aang said. "The Great Divide."

You were looking at a rather large canyon.

"Wow. I could just stare at it forever." Katara mused.

"Okay. I've seen enough." Sokka said.

"How can you not be fascinated, Sokka? This is the largest canyon in the entire world." Katara voiced.

"Then I'm sure we'll be able to see it very clearly from the air while we fly away." Sokka said, tugging on Appa's reigns. Suddenly a man rushed forward.
