Chapter 6

We landed for another pit stop. This time it was for a city that Aang use to come to 100 years before. The city was made out of rock, and was enormous compared to our small village in the South Pole. It looked amazing from even so far off.

Aang airbended himself down part of the hill, but Katara is such a worrywart.

"Wait, Aang! It could be dangerous if people find out you're the Avatar." She yelled at him before he went farther.

"True, something bad always happens when people find out." I said. "Mainly that something bad is Zuko too."

"You need a disguise." Sokka agreed.

"So, what am I supposed to do?" Questioned the bald monk. "Grow a mustache?"

We decided to use Appa's fur to create a mustache and crazy old man hair. We decided he would be an old man. This time I brought a small bag to hold a drawing pad, brush, and ink. In case something funny happened to Sokka again.

We reached the entrance where a man was being yelled at for rotten cabbages.

"State your business!" Shouted the guard when he noticed us. He held a large boulder over Aang's head. He rushed out from under it and pointed a finger at the man.

"My business is my business, young man, and none of yours!" Aang barked. He was definitely sticking to the old man roll. "I've got half a mind to bend you over my knee and paddle your backside!"

The guard dropped the boulder, not on anyone thankfully. "Settle down, old timer. Just tell me who you are."

"Name's Bonzu Pipinpadaloxicopolis, the Third, and these are my grandkids."

Katara and I waved hello and stood next to Aang.

"Hi, June Pipinpadaloxicopolis-" Katara said.

"-and Amber Pipinpadaloxicopolis-" I added.

"Nice to meet you." We greeted in unison.

"You seem like responsible young ladies. See that your grandfather stays out of trouble. Enjoy Omashu!"

The guard made Sokka carry Aangs bag before he let us in. We entered Omashu, and boy it's beautiful. I loved the houses! They are so cute!

"This is the Omashu delivery system." Aang said. I looked at the tubes with carts shooting all over. "Miles and miles of tubes and chutes. Earthbending brings the packages up and gravity brings them down."

"Great, so they get their mail on time." Sokka said uninterested. Sokka can be so annoying sometimes. I don't see how Aang can be so patient and polite.

"They do get their mail on time, but my friend Bumi found a better use for these chutes..." Aang told us. He had a mischievous smile on his face, the first I've ever seen him have.

He brought us to the top of a chute and made us get in one of the bins. I thought it would be a world of fun, but my siblings were being such scaredy cats.

"One ride, then we're off to the North Pole, Airbender's honor." Aang said, upon seeing Sokka and Katara's fright.

"This sounded like fun at first, but now that I'm here, I'm starting to have second thoughts!" Katara said as we fell down a steep vertical drop in the bin. As me sped down the chute we noticed another chute, that was clearly going to merge with ours. The second cart held a rack of pointy spears and accelerated behind us. Sokka ducked to avoid being kabobed, I ducked as well.

"Aang do something!" I shouted, scared for my life.

"I'm on it! I'm on it!" He replied, just as scared as us.

Aang started rocking the bin back and forth in the chute. He then derailed us out of the chute and our bin fell onto a rooftop below, since we no longer were in the chute. We hit the ground in front of Earth Kingdom soldiers, the bin bounced off the ground and rocketed into another row of carts. Finally we made it to another chute, without dying or being stabbed.

"Aang, do something!" Screamed Katara in a panic. "Use your airbending!:

"Yeh! Good idea!" Aang agreed. "That'll make us go even faster!" Okay so maybe they had different thoughts on why he should use airbending.

Aang blasted air behind us, making the bin speed up we whizzed down the chute at a dangerous speed. As we approach the drop down of the last major chute, we all scream there's a package in front of us that we will hit. An earthbender next to it moved the package away, luckily.

We breathed a sigh of relief, but the earthbender raised another package in our way. Once again we screamed, we are too young to die! Rather than hitting the package, we hit the side of the trench and run off the track, again.

All of us fall out of the bin and are falling towards the ground, but Aang airbended each of us back into the bin. We bounce off a roof and into a man's work room, destroying his pottery. Then the bin bounced off of his floor and out the window, opposite the one we came in.

We then proceed to drop into someone's living room and fly through their house. Outside we crashed through the wall of the balcony and plummet again, screaming. The cabbage man is below us and looks up at our falling bin. He frantically jumped back as we fall onto the cabbage cart, totally destroying it. It got cabbage all over me.

I looked at Aang who's disguise came off, then out of nowhere guards appear and surround us.

"Two cabbages please." Aang joked, his sheepish smile didn't help him.

The guards brought us to a throne room. It's a dark Earth Kingdom green. An old man sat upon the throne, he had a crazy look upon his ancient face. The guards forced us to kneel, I've already gotten on the bad side of one person of royalty I don't need another.

"Your majesty, these juveniles were arrested for vandalism, traveling under false pretenses and malicious destruction of cabbages." A guard informed the King.

"Off with their heads! One for each head of cabbage!" Wailed the cabbage man.

"Silence!" Yelled a guard. "Only the King can pass down judgment. What is your judgment, Sire?"

The elderly King looked upon each of our faces Sokka was nervous, Katara seemed hopeful, Aan was trying to hide, and I looked directly at him with a blank expression.

"Throw them... a feast!" The King declared.

We were brought to a room with a very large table in the center. On the table was loads of food, I had never seen so much food in one place before. Momo chowed down while the three of us quietly sat. The King stood behind us he began speaking, "Heheh! The people in my city have gotten fat from too many feasts, so I hope you like your chicken with no skin."

Aang informed him that he was a vegetarian, so the cuckoo King gave Sokka the chicken. Well he actual shoved it in his mouth, but it's the same thing. Sokka chowed down on the food.

His royal highness sat across the table from us. He seemed very interested in Aang, he asked where Aang was from to which he said Kangaroo Island.

He then directed some questions at me.

"So, what about you Miss?" He questioned. I pointed at myself and he nodded.

"Um, I'm from Kangaroo Island too." I lied. If I told him the water tribe, he would question my hair and eyes, and that would lead to me being a firebender.

"Oh, Kangaroo Island, eh? I hear that place is really hoppin!"

Sokka laughed and I stared at him like he was crazy. "What? It was pretty funny."

The King yawned, "Well, all these good jokes are making me tired. Guess it's time to the hay."

Out of no where he threw two drumsticks at us, one directed at Aang and the other myself. Aang used airbending to stop the chicken from hitting him. Meanwhile I used my firebending to burn it into ashes.

The guards drew in breathe in surprise.

"There's an airbender in our presence and not just any airbender, the Avatar!" Announce the-not-so-crazy King. Aang dropped the drumstick like nothing happened. The King then stood. "It also seems we have a firebender in our midst. Now what do you have to say for yourself, Miss and Mr. Pipinpadaloxicopolis?"
