The Second Avatar Book 1: Water

Chapter 5: The King of Omashu is Crazy

Aang has us stop at a ledge to look up at Omashu, and to be honest, I was going to tell Aang not to jump, but he can airbend, so I have no problem there. 

Aang "The earth kingdom city of Omashu, I used to come here to visit my friend Bumi." 

Katara"Wow, we don't have cities like this in the South Pole." 

Sokka"They have buildings here that don't melt." 

Aang "Well, let's go, slowpokes, the real fun is inside the city." 

Katara "Wait, Aang, it could be dangerous if people find out you're the Avatar." 

Sokka "You need a disguise." 

Aang "So, what am I supposed to do, grow a mustache?" 

I said, "Hey, don't knocking till you try it. I used to cut my hair all the time so that I could get around the city faster turns out I found a way to braid my hair without it touching my back, just saying." 

Sokka proceeded to grab some of Appa's hair and tie it together and put it on Aangs head, and then since Aang did say something about a mustache, Sokka made him wear one. 

Aang "This is so itchy; how do you live in this stuff?" 

Sokka"Great, now you look just like my grandfather." 

Katara"Technically, Aang is 112 years old." 

Aang "Now, let's get to skipping young whippersnappers; the big city awaits." 

I said, "You've created a monster, Sokka. I hope you're happy with yourself." 

We all started to walk together to the bridge/rock, so I proceeded to put my hood to my cloak on to get less attention, given I've already been here and met the king. 

Aang "you guys are going to love Omashu; the people here are the friendliest in the world." 

Random Guard "Rottencabbages, what kind of slum do you think this is?'' 

The guard managed to make a cabbage disappear in his hands by squashing it together, then proceeded to earth bend the cabbage stand off the bridge/rock. 

Cabbage guy "No, my cabbages!" 

Aang "Just keep smiling." 

Random Guard "State your business." 

Aang "My business is my business, young man, and none of yours I've got half a mind to bend you over my knee and paddle your backside." 

Random Guard "Settle down, old-timer, just tell me who you are." 

Aang "Name's Bonzoo Pippenpadlopsicopolis the third, and these are my grandkids."

Katara "Hi, June Pippenpadlopsicopolis. Nice to meet you." 

Random Guard "You seem like a responsible young lady; see that your grandfather stays out of trouble; enjoy Omashu." 

Katara "We will." 

Random Guard "Wait a minute, you're a strong young boy; show some respect for the elderly and carry your grandfather's bag." 

Aang "Good idea." 

Aang "This is the Omashu delivery system miles and miles of tubes and chutes earthbending brings the packages up, and gravity brings them down." 

Sokka "Great, so they get their mail on time." 

Aang "They do get their mail on time, but my friend Bumi found a better use for these chutes; one ride then it's to the north pole Airbender's honor."
