(Look at my kids.  They're so cute.)

"I think I see a cave below." Aang voiced.

"Shh! Keep quiet!" Sokka hissed.

Appa landed and Aang blew away the cloud illusion.

A few nearby birds squawked.

Sokka leapt off of Appa, diving behind a rock and looking around. Only when he was sure it was safe did he speak. "Great job with the cloud camo, but next time let's disguise ourselves as the kind of cloud who knows how to keep its mouth shut."

"Yeah, wouldn't want a bird to hear us chatting up there and turn us in." Toph sassed, climbing off of Appa.

"Hey! We're in enemy territory." Sokka defended in a hushed tone. He pointed above him at four birds that sat on a rock. "Those are enemy birds."

One of the said birds hopped off, landing on Sokka's head and making a small noise.

You all chuckled.

"Come on. Let's go check out the cave." You prompted with a wave of your hand, walking away.

The others followed, though Sokka jumped over you, scanning the cave.

Once he was satisfied, he turned to the group. "Well, this is it. This is how we'll be living until the invasion begins. Hiding in cave, after cave, after cave..."

"Sokka, we don't need to become cave-people." Katara assured. "What we need is some new clothes."

You looked down at your torn garments underneath your firenation cape.

"Yeah." Aang agreed, placing his fists on his hips. "Blending in is better than hiding out."

"More dangerous, though." You muttered.

"I agree with Y/n." Sokka said. "No one's gonna look in here."

"If we get firenation disguises, we'll be just as safe as we would be hiding in a cave." Aang reasoned.

"Plus, they have real food out there." Toph added from her reclined spot on the floor. "Does anyone want to sit in the dirt and eat cave-hoppers?" She hit her elbow against the wall behind her, scaring several small creatures. They began hopping around, panicked.

Momo charged forward, eating one.

Sokka turned to you. "Looks like we got outvoted."

You shrugged, having nothing to say.

Sokka looked to everyone else, a small smile on his face. "Let's get some new clothes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't know about this." Aang muttered. "These clothes belong to somebody."

"I call the silk robe!" Katara shouted, leaping out of her hiding spot and rushing toward the several lines of clothes.

"But, if it's essential to our survival... I call the suit!" Aang yelled, jumping forward as well.

You shook your head, stepping over the rock you were hiding behind and grabbing some clothes. You grabbed some that you thought would fit Toph as well and brought them back to her.

You changed while Sokka was picking his clothes out. You emerged just in time to hear Aang start to speak.

"Ta da! Normal kid." He said, arms extended.
