FLASHBACK: We entered the Fire nation and have to change cloths entirely. it was hard to hide my Kyoshi island head band but I swallowed my pride. But while we were in town some local guards presumed Aang and I were teacher and student. Long story short, Aang threw a dance party to help set the students free or boost their confidence.

The sun beat down on us, as I took out my fanned myself and lazily watched the clouds go by with uninterest. 

" Hey guys, I think this river's polluted," Aang said, he airbends mud off himself, splattering the rest of us with mud, which causes us to cry out in disgust. Toph tastes the mud, "Pah! Plegh!" 

"It's polluted for a reason Toph," I said, as Aang blows wind at us again, "Thanks Aang," Aang smiles embarrassingly and scratched his head. 

"Well that explains why I can't catch a fish around here, because normally my fishing skills are off the hook!" Sokka said holding up a fishing hook, " Get it? Like a fishing hook?"

"Too bad your skills aren't on the hook," Toph countered, as the both Katara and Aang laughed, while I giggled, Sokka on the other hand gave a disgruntled expression on his face.

"It looks like we'll need to go somewhere else to get food," Sokka then unrolls a long schedule, "assuming that'll fit into Sokka's master schedule," 

"Hmmm ... It's doable. But that means only two potty breaks today,"

I gave a look of disdain because why would we ever need a schedule in the first place.

"Hey, maybe we can get food there!" Aang said pointing. We went to a the lakes shore and found near by trees to hide Appa and Momo. 

"Now you look just like a little hill with horns! Bye, buddy!" Aang said,

"I don't feel anything. Where is the village?" 

"It's in the middle of the river!" Sokka said, pointing to the river. 

"Sure is!" we stopped in our tracks to see a man in a boat, "My name's Dock. Mind if I ask who you are?" 

"We're um ... from the Earth Kingdom colonies," Katara said.

"Wow ... Colonials. Hop on, I give you ride in the town," 

"Thank you kind sir," I said bowing as we all entered his boat, as we embarked on the rivers shore, the scent of oil and sulphur reeks in the air. 

"Why do you guys live on the river?" Katara asked, 

"Because we're a fishing town. At least that's how it was before the factory moved in.  Army makes their metal there. Moved in a few years ago and started gunking up our river. Now our little village is struggling to survive," Dock said, I glared as we passed the  factory. How can they do that to this poor village? If only there was a way to help them somehow. We arrived at the village, as people moseyed by, some could barely even walk. Others sitting on the ground others in their porches. The sight was heartbreaking.

"How could somebody do this?" I asked myself, Katara heard me, "We have to do something to help," she said.

"No, we can't waste our time here. We have a bigger mission that we need to stay focused on. These people are on their own," Sokka interjected. 

I chased after him and grabbed his shoulder, " These people are starving! But you'd turn your back on them?" I asked, "How can you be so cold and heartless?" Katara joined.

"I'm not turning my back, I'm just being realistic. We can't go around helping every rinky-dink town we wander into. We'll be helping them all by taking out the Fire Lord,"
