Watch it Burn

Chapter 23

Sokka and I stayed at the house while the others printed our posters to find Appa. I tried explaining to him that we were already printing posters but he didn't listen and continued painting ink pictures of him. So he had a small fit when he realised he wasted all that time.

We went out, Aang flew around dropping posters while Toph and I pasted photos around.

"Come on." I said once we ran out of papers to paste, "Let's get back."

When I opened the door I saw Katara and Sokka playing a deck game and Aang walking around. Complaining about how he couldn't wait any longer.

"You have no patience kid." I huffed and dropped down onto a cushion, picking up the spirit book that, let it be known, I haven't even gotten to read. That's when I heard a knock at the door and saw Joo Dee standing there.

"Putting up posters is strictly forbidden." She told us. Aang snapped at her and slammed the door in her face, causing toph to destroy the wall next to her.

"We are so screwed." I mumbled and shut my book.

Later that day Katara and I walked around the city, putting up the now illegal posters on any open surface. We walked mostly in silence, only speaking when deciding where to place a new poster.

"So......," she said, glancing to the side as we walked down the street, "you're friend and you.."

"Fucked," I finished bluntly, cringing at the awkwardness of the conversation.

"I-" she started as she turned bright red. I looked over and caught her eye and we burst out laughing. We earned a few odd stares from vendors on the street as our giggles rang out but we disregarded it. The awkwardness from the previous moment disappeared as I shook my head slightly in amusement.

"So are we at least gonna get to meet them?"

"No," I replied. Something told me they wouldn't be all too happy about Zuko and I fucking.

"Oh," she said, "guess this certain someone will remain a mystery."

I was about to respond with something snarky when someone behind us shouted.

"Katara!" It called and we whipped around to see the one person I would rather not see-

Jet.

"I can help you with that!" he shouted running up to us, but before he could do anything I grabbed my fans.

"Back the fuck up before I slit your throat." I snarled.

I saw the rest of the Gaang run over to us.

"What's going on?" Sokka asked.

"Jets back." Katara sneered.

"I don't want to fight you, I'm here to help!" Jet stated and pulled out one of the posters of Appa.

"Katara, we have to give him a chance." Aang said.

"Listen you straggot, you were a total douche so no-no you will not be helping us." I shot.

"I changed, I don't even have my gang anymore!" He pleaded.

"He's telling the truth." Toph said, "we can trust him."

"You have got to be kidding me." I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, just keep him away from me or I will kill him- I'm not above murder."

"If Jet says he can take us to Appa then we gotta try it out." Aang turned to Katara.
