After a day of flying we had finally found a place to settle down and camp for the night.

"Hey, you guys picked a great campsite," Toph remarks. "The grass is so soft."

I laugh. "That's not grass. Appa's shedding."

Katara scoffed in disgust. "Oh gross."

"That's not gross. It's just a part of spring. You know, rebirth, flowers blooming and Appa gets a new coat."

"Ahh, the beauty of spring," Katara sarcastically says.

Appa sneezes causing his fur to go everywhere, including on us.

"Stop, Appa, stop!" Katara cries.

I let out a cough as a bunch of fur got in my mouth.

"It's not that bad, Katara. It makes a great wig," Sokka says putting Appa's fur on top of his head.

"And it makes a great beard," Aang says joining in on Sokka's shenanigans.

The boys laugh.

Katara looks at them unamused. "I'm just glad we have another girl to overpower you boys because you two are disgusting."

"Excuse me, does anyone have a razor, because I got some hairy pits." Toph says putting her hands over her head revealing Appa's fur in her armpits.

"At least I have Soul. Right Soul?"

"Ah-choo." I sneeze releasing a blue phase of fire out my mouth once again as I knock out, slamming into Appa.

The gaang laughed uncontrollably.

As we all set up for bed, Katara looked over at Toph, noticing she wasn't helping unloading. She walked over to Toph.

I was going to join her but Aang airbended Appa's saddle, crushing Sokka and I in the process.

"Oops, sorry." Aang says picking up the saddle.

"There's something coming towards us," Toph yells.

"What is it?" Aang asked,

"Shhh, five more minutes dad." I mutter, swishing around in Appa's fur.

"Should we leave?" Katara asks.

"Better safe than sorry." Aang replies.

I felt myself getting picked up by someone. I opened my eyes to see, Sokka carrying me in his arms.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"Apparently somethings coming towards us," Sokka replies, equally confused.

"Uh, you can put me down now."

"Yeah, ha ha, sorry." Sokka says laying me down on Appa's saddle.

As we flew away on Appa, we saw black smoke following us from far behind.

"What is that thing?"

After what seemed like forever we landed at another campsite.

"Ahh," Toph sighs. "Land, sweet land. See you guys in the morning."

"Actually, can you help us unload?" Katara asked.

"Really?" Toph turned around. "You need me to help unload Sokka's funky-smelling sleeping bag?"

Sokka picked up his sleeping bag as I sniffed it backing away from him slowly.

"Well, yeah," Katara says. "That and everything else, you're apart of our team now and-"
