Flash back: We made it to Ba Sing Se, but there was something eerie about it, like something secret. When we finally made it to the Earth King (By sneaking in a party for his pet bear.◔_◔ ) We suddenly learned that we can't mention the war inside the walls of the city, by his advisor Long Feng.   

Sokka, Toph and I was in the house, Sokka was busy make his own doodles of Appa, while I began sweeping. Suddenly the door opened, Aang and Katara came back from an errand to make a missing poster for Appa. 

"We found a printer to make our posters!" she said, as she reveals the poster and Aang smiles and points at it. 

"Hey, I thought designing the lost Appa poster was my job. I've been working all day on my Appa!" Sokka said as he shows his crudely drawn picture of Appa with a proud smile. Aang facepalmed in exasperation, while Katara and I tries to hold back our laughter.

"Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's head," Aang said, "This is his head," Sokka said dismayed as he points at his work. 

Katara takes the picture from Sokka, "Why are feet coming out of it?" 

"Those are his horns," Sokka said as he snatched the picture from Katara,

"Sokka, I'm no expert but that not how Appa's horns are suppose to look like Polar dogs ears," I said examining his work, Sokka hung his head, "Look, I haven't seen him in a while, okay?" 

"It looks just like him to me!" Toph said with a smirk, I snickered, "Thank you, I worked really-" Sokka suddenly remembering that she is blind, "Why do you feel the need to do that?"

"Let's just stick with the professional version," Katara said, Sokka angrily rips up his drawing.

"Come on, let's get busy!" Aang said excitedly, after our first round we went back at the house, Sokka, Katara, and I wanted to play a game of cards, then Aang bursts through the door.

"I just finished dropping all the leaflets. Has anyone come in with news about Appa?" he asked, "It's only been a day. Just be patient," Katara said, Aang sits, unenthused. I placed last my card down, "Ha! I win!" suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Wow, you're right! Patience really pays off!" Aang said as he jumps I, "I'll get it," I said. I opened the door, revealing Joo Dee, "Joo Dee?" Aang and I said in unison.

"Hello, Aang, and Katara, and Sokka, and Toph," she said with that blood curdling smile as she makes her way inside. She didn't even mentioned my name. Typical. 

"What happened to you? Did the Dai Li throw you in jail?" Sokka asked, "What? Jail? Of course not. The Dai Li are the protectors of our cultural heritage," she replied. Her voice calming like a peaceful brook. 

More like the protectors of Long Feng truth be told, I thought, as I folded my arms. 

"But you disappeared at the Earth King's party," Toph said, 

"Oh, I simply took a short vacation to Lake Laogai, out in the country. It was quite relaxing," 

Sokka and I looked at each other then back at her in skepticism. 

"But then they replaced you with some other woman who also said her name was Joo Dee," Katara said, "I'm Joo Dee," she said surprised. 

"And I'm about to lose my cool if you don't tell us why you're here," I said.

"Dropping fliers and putting up posters isn't permitted within the city. Not without proper clearance," she said holding up our poster

" We can't wait around to get permission for everything," Sokka said, "You are absolutely forbidden by the rules of the city to continue putting up posters," she inquired, 

"We don't care about the rules and we're not asking permission!" Aang yelled, Joo Dee was horrified by Aangs actions, and slowly backs off to door, "We're finding Appa on our own and you should just stay out of our way," Aang continued and slams the door.

"That might come back to bite us in the blubber," 

" I don't care! From now on, we do whatever it takes to find Appa!" Aang replied.

"Yeah, let's break some rules!" Toph said as she takes out a side of the house with earthbending, "Yeah Toph, we're breaking rules not houses," I exclaimed.
