Aang, Katara and I run into the house towards Sokka.
"We found a printer to print Appa's poster!" I say as Katara holds up the poster.

"Hey I thought designing the lost Appa posters was my job, I've been working on my Appa all day." Sokka says as he proudly holds up a poorly drawn picture of Appa.

I desperately try to hold in my laughter at the drawing, it looks like a bean. "Sokka the arrow is on Appa's head." Aang points to the arrow.

"This is his head." Sokka replies as he pushes the picture toward us.

"Why are feet coming out of it?" Katara asks

"Those are his horns!" He snatches the drawing from Katara's hands. "I haven't seen him in a while OK." He slumps down.

"It looks just like him to me." Toph chimes in.

"Thank you I worked really-" He realises what she meant. "Why do you feel the need to do that?"

"Maybe we should leave the job to the printer Sokka." I suggest lightly.

Sokka makes an annoyed shout and tears up the paper in front of him. I can't help but giggle. "Let me show you how to really draw Appa." I walk over to him and grab the paper and pen.

I sit down and lean on the floor in front of me, picturing Appa in my head. Then I dip the pen in ink and get to work. After a minute or so of them all crowing round watching me draw I hold up my picture.
"I'll admit it looked better in my head." I say sheepishly as they stare at it.

"That's amazing! I didn't know you could draw." Katara marvels at the drawing.

"I can't draw, especially when it's not even a pencil." I laugh at them.

"Katara's right, it is good. But let's stick with the printer version." Aang suggests.

"That's good cuz I wasn't gonna do any others." I giggle.

"Come on, let's get busy!" Aang says enthusiastically.

Aang and Momo fly off in a different direction, dropping flyers as they go. I open my glider and fly the opposite way from them, scattering posters below me.

Once I've finished dropping the posters I head back to the house where Katara attempts to teach me a game, hey I said attempts, doesn't mean I was any good at it.

"And then you'd place your piece here, and I'd try to-" She starts but I cut her off with a groan.

"Ugh! I can't do this, you don't even have cards or any normal games! Why does this have to be so complicated!" I flop down onto the floor.

"It doesn't have to be complicated, if you just-" She tries to speak again before Aang bursts in.

"It just finished dropping off the leaflets, has anyone come in with news about Appa?" He asks excitedly.

"It's only been a day, just be patient." Katara says calmly.

"Patience is for fools! Like this stupid game!" I say to him.

"Just be patient." Katara repeats.

Aang slumps down before a sharp knock on the door perks him up. "Wow you're right, patience really pays off." He says as he does a little happy dance towards door.

He opens the door only to see the original Joo Dee standing there. "Joo Dee?" He questions as she steps in.

We all leave what we were doing to walk over to her.
"What happened to you? Did the dai lee throw you in jail?" Sokka asks her
