Aang stuck his head out of the muck. "Momo!"
The lemur flew to where Aang's head just was.
The Avatar stuck his head out further away. "Oh, Momo!" He ducked again, but when he re-emerged further away, Momo flew quickly to him. Aang laughed. "You found me, buddy!" He jumped out, landing on Appa's saddle. "Hey, guys, I think this river's polluted." He informed, looking over himself as he dripped mud. He airbended it off of him, splashing everyone else with it. "Whoops. Sorry." He muttered, bending air again to get it off.
"Well, that explains why I can't catch a fish around here." Sokka started. "Because, normally-"
"Please don't." You mumbled.
"My fishing skills are off the hook!" He finished, a giant grin on his face as he held up the hook. "Get it!? Like a fishing hook!"
"Too bad your skills aren't on the hook." Toph grumbled.
You all laughed, except for Sokka.
"It looks like we'll need to go somewhere else to get food." Katara voiced, looking around. "Assuming that will fit into Sokka's master schedule." She added once she saw the paper roll passed her.
"Hm. It's do-able." Sokka informed. "But that means only two potty breaks, today." He declared, holding up a finger.
"Hey! Then maybe we can get food there!" Aang exclaimed, pointing at a small town in the middle of the sludge.

"Now you look just like a little hill with horns!" Aang told his bison as he looked him over.
You turned, seeing that Aang had covered Appa with a moss blanket.
"Bye, buddy!" He yelled, following the rest of the group away.
You faintly heard Appa groan quietly back.
"I don't feel anything. Where is this village?" Toph asked as you all reached the end of the island you were on.
"It's in the middle of the river!" Sokka exclaimed, pointing.
"Sure is!" A voice called.
You looked around, seeing an old man wearing a hat below you.
"My name is Doc. Mind if I ask who you are?"
"We're, um... from the Earth Kingdom colonies." Katara told him.
"Wow, colonials. Well, hop on. I'll give you a ride into town."
You all carefully stepped on the man's boat.
"Why do you guys live on the river?" Katara questioned.
"Because we're a fishing town." He explained, swinging the stick he was using to paddle with to the other side.
You ducked to avoid it. "Doesn't look like you get much fish." You noted, looking at the mucky water.
"Well, that's how it was before the factory moved in." Doc elaborated. "The army makes their metal, there. They moved in a few years ago and have been gunking up out river. And now our little village is struggling to survive."

"Thanks for the ride!" Aang called as you helped Toph out of the boat and onto the dock.
