"I missed you more than you'll ever know, buddy." Aang told Appa as he laid on the bison's head.
You had landed on a small, tiny, really, island not far from the shore.
Aang laughed as Appa licked him.
"Look, we escaped from the Dai Li, got Appa back... I'm telling you, we should go to the Earth King now and tell him our plan." Sokka suggested. "We're on a roll."
"One good hour after weeks of trouble isn't much of a roll." Katara retorted.
"We can build on it. If we want to invade the firenation when the eclipse happens, we need the Earth King's support."
"What makes you think we'll get it?" Toph asked from her spot on a rock. "I don't know if you've noticed, but things don't usually go that smoothly for our little gang."
"I know, but I've got a good feeling about this."
"Sokka's instincts?" You teased, raising an eyebrow.
"I just feel like this time will be different."
"Sokka, Long Feng is in control of the city." Katara reminded sharply. "His conspiracy with the Dai Li is too powerful. I think we should just keep flying, and leave this horrible place behind us."
"I'm with Sweetness. I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se." Toph grumbled. "And I can't even see!"
"Now that we have Appa back, there's nothing stopping us from telling the Earth King the truth." Aang piped up, leaping over with a giant grin on his face. "About the conspiracy and the war."
"See? Aang's with me." Sokka said, grabbing Aang's shoulders and grinning. He let go of Aang and dropped his smile into a more serious expression. "It's the whole reason we came here in the first place."
"Don't make us deal through all of this nonsense for nothing." You groaned.
"We have to try."
"Well, I guess if the Earth King knew the truth, things could change." Katara agreed hesitantly.
Toph stood. "I don't trust the new 'positive Sokka'." She pointed an accusatory finger at him. "Long Feng brainwashed you, didn't he!?"
"No." You muttered, looking over at Sokka and smiling. "No, he hasn't."
Aang suddenly rushed to the edge of the island.
You all turned to see what he was looking at.
Three boats could be faintly seen in the distance.
"That's probably the Dai Li searching for us!" Sokka guessed, joining Aang. He turned to his sister. "So?"
"Let's fly."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Can we please buy a new saddle!?" Toph begged. "Riding bareback is terrifying!"
You let go of Appa's fur with your right hand and placed it around Toph. "I've got you, don't worry."
"There it is. That whole thing is the palace." Sokka said, pointing below. "The Earth King's chambers should be in this sector."
"We have to be careful." Katara reminded. "Long Feng's probably told the King we're coming."
"Why would you think that?" Sokka asked. "If you ask me, we're just going to sail in undetect- ahh!"
