Aang was handing Sokka the stuff for unpacking. Sokka handed them to you, for you and Katara to set up. It was getting dark, so you were setting up camp for the night.
"Hey, you guys picked a great campsite." Toph informed. "The grass is so soft."
"That's not grass." Sokka told her. "Appa's shedding."
"Oh, gross." Katara complained.
"It's not that bad." You spoke, turning to her.
"It's just a part of spring." Aang informed. "You know, rebirth, flowers blooming, and Appa gets a new coat."
"Ah. The beauty of spring." Katara said sarcastically. Appa chewed on his front leg before letting out a low groan, opening his mouth and revealing the fur on it. You walked over and began peeling the fur from his tongue. The large bison sneezed, covering you all with fur. "Stop! Appa, stop! Eww!" Katara whined, trying to dust herself off. They continued talking while you cleaned yourself off. You shook your head, moving to finish helping the large creature.
Day turned to night quickly, and everyone was setting up camp. Well, everyone that is, except Toph. Katara frowned, making her way over to the girl leaning against the walls of the large crater you set up camp in.
"So, Toph....usually when setting up camp, we try to divide up the work." Katara explained.
"Hey, don't worry about me. I'm good to go." Toph told her. You stopped listening after that and instead focused on your job of laying out the sleeping bags. Aang set up the tent while Sokka worked on the fire pit. Once you had set everything up, you and Sokka went over to Appa while Aang climbed on top of him. Using airbending, he brought the saddle off, but it landed on the two of you.
"Sorry!" Aang apologized, jumping off and lifting the saddle.
"There has to be an easier way to do this." You grumbled, crawling out from underneath. Aang shrugged, lowering the saddle as Sokka helped you to your feet.
"We'll figure it out later." Sokka determined. "Right now, I want to get some sleep." He informed, crawling into the tent. Katara followed shortly after. Toph slept in her own earth-tent, while Aang slept on Appa's foot. You laid in the sleeping bag.

"There's something coming toward us!!" Toph alerted, running out of her tent.
"What is it?" Aang questioned, sitting up. Katara and Sokka stuck their heads out of the tent while you poked yours out from inside your sleeping bag. Toph put her hand to the ground.
"It feels like an avalanche......but also not an avalanche."
"That's helpful." You muttered, getting out and walking over. Everyone else walked over as well.
"Your powers of perception are frightening." Sokka added, his voice sarcastic.
"Should we leave?" Katara inquired.
"Better safe than sorry." Aang spoke. Everyone quickly loaded up the saddle after placing it on Appa and climbed on. Aang gently flicked the reigns, making the bison go. Everyone looked behind, seeing a giant dark cloud going towards you.
"Is that dust or smoke?" You asked.
"I'm not sure." Aang answered, his voice serious.
"What is that thing?" Katara questioned. You shrugged.
"I can barely see. It's so dark, and my eyes are still fuzzy." You replied, laying down in the saddle. "Goodnight."
