"psst- Y/N, get up! we need some bread, i accidentally burned the breakfast I was making, haha!"

i ignored my grandpa's words as I rolled around in bed, trying to fall asleep, again.

"Y/N, i'm serious. get up or the house will burn down."

at first I thought he was joking, but then I saw smoke coming from downstairs, and ran down the flight of stairs in an instant.

"Come on Y/N, the bread isn't going to buy itself", he said, cracking up at my appearance.

my hair looked fried, i had probably permanent eyebags from not sleeping the last few nights, since i was practicing my earthbending.

i sighed, tying my hair up and putting my shoes on, and left the house, leaving the old man on his own.

while going down the main street, somebody approached me from the behind and tapped my shoulder.

"uh, hey! have you by any chance seen something like this? we kinda lost him on the way here..", a boy that seemed to be around my age asked me, pointing at the paper.

"i don't think so...i mean, it's not like you see flying bisons just roaming around here", i replied, gently pushing the paper from my face.

the boy sighed, dissapointment showing on his face. I felt a little guilty, although maybe I just get attached way too easily. he seemed like a pretty genuine guy.

"but hey, i can help you with finding it, i know people that may know where the bison is! i'm Y/N by the way", I said, smiling sheepishly, holding my hand out for him to shake it.

"sokka", he said, waving his hand around like an idiot.

"sokka? that doesn't sound like an earth kingdom name...where are you from?"

"rhe southern water tribe'', he said proudly.

"really? that's so cool! i always wanted to meet someone outside of the kingdom, or well, ba sing se. inwas stuck in here for a while now, we're not exactly allowed to go past the boundaries."

we just started walking and talking about random things, and he mentioned that he is with the Avatar.

"wait. you're with the avatar?"

"yeah. it's honestly pretty cool if you think about it. i mean- not that i'm travellinh with him for fame but he somehow happened to be frozen in an iceberg near our tribe and-"

i smiled at his muttering, a tad bit of jelaousy showing. the thought of knowing the avatar sounded pretty cool, well, at least to me. or pretty much everyone.

it sounded like a pretty well made up lie, but considering the fact that there were some rumors about the avatar in the city, i just went along with it, not wanting to lose the new friend so soon.
