The hike was long and hot, I wiped the sweat from my brow and sighed.

"Don't worry, we're almost there," Aang said .

I smiled, and continued on. When I looked up again Aang's eyes meet mine, I began to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Is everything alright," I asked?

"Huh? Oh! Yeah, everything's fine," Aang said,

Whatever you say, I thought to myself. We finally reached over the ledge overlooking a vast city,

"The Earth Kingdom city of Omashu!"

Aang said, its pyramid structures gleaming in the sunlight.

"Wow. We don't have buildings like this in the South Pole!" Katara said in amazement

" They have buildings here that don't melt!" Sokka said overwhelmed.

My eyes couldn't get enough of it, this whole city itself was almost the size of home. Home, I've left my dad and Suki behind without telling them goodbye, if I were to return right now, Suki would've yelled and say "What's wrong with you!!" while having me in a headlock and dad would've given me a long lecture, gave me a hug, then punish me. Tears filled my eyes, then my thoughts were interrupted by someone grasping my hand, I looked beside me and it was Sokka,

"Hey, its going to be okay, besides you're with us now. And, I'm sorry I was rude to you when we were at Kyoshi Island,"

Awwww, he does have a heart.

"It's okay Sokka, no hard feelings," I said with a smile, wiping away the small tear from my eyes.

"Well let's go, slow pokes. The real fun's inside the city!" Aang said.

"Wait, Aang!" Aang froze in his tracks "It could be dangerous if people find out you're the Avatar-"

"You need a disguise," Sokka interrupted.

"So what am I supposed to do? Grow a mustache? " Aang asked sarcastically, 

 That's it! Grow a mustache!

"I've got just the thing," I said. I took some of Apa's shedding fur and some rope from my sack. Then made a makeshift hat and used the excess to make a mustache,

"There, what do you think?"

"Great! Now you look just like my grandfather," Sokka said as he takes a closer look at Aang.

"Technically, Aang is 112 years old," Katara said.

Aang then kicks up his staff and catches it, He hunches his back and leans heavily on his staff like an old man,

"Now let's get to skippin', young whipper-snappers. The big city awaits!" Aang said in an old man's voice, I giggled softly. We continued on our way as we head down the path towards the city.

"You guys are going to love Omashu," Aang said, "The people here are the friendliest in the world,"

"Rotten cabbages?!" yelled the gate guard, to an old cabbage merchant, " What kind of slum do you think this is?!" He squishes the cabbage he is holding and knocks another two cabbages out of the merchant's hands. He proceeds by earthbending a rock under the cart, catapulting it high in the air, making it tumble down the chasm with all the cabbages.

"No! My cabbages!" said the cabbage merchant.

Not gonna lie, I was frightened.

"Just keep smiling," Aang said, The four of us smiled, well Katara Sokka and I gave half frightened smiles, while Aang being his cheerful self sticked with the script. Suddenly an earthbender steps to the front and raises a boulder out of the ground before Aang and levitates it above his head.
