"Sorry Ellie. I just got here myself. I did see Iroh, but Zuko.. not yet."
I frown at the end of my sentence, realizing I was looking forward to seeing Zuko as well. Being caught up in my own thoughts, I do not notice that I just sporked General Alle.
Shocked by my own actions, I do the only thing that seems natural, I pull my arm back. So far back that it tips the tray with pasta salad in it and launches pasta everywhere.. including all over General Iroh.
/me GASP!
"I am SO sorry General Iroh." A trace of embarrassment washes over my cheeks.
Uncle Iroh starts laughing his trademark belly chuckle. Getting a closer look at how the pasta blends into his own head of hair, I can not help but laugh too.
"My klutziness appears to offer you the look of a full head of hair." I choke out while wiping a tear from laughing so hard.
Everyone around us joins in on the funny events that transpired just moments ago... This is certainly a picture perfect moment!

Ellie hugged Ana back, beaming.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, Ana. I'm glad you're here." Ellie offered her a friendly smiled. Anastasia proceed to introduce her to her companion, who greeted her with a smile. Ellie couldn't help but blush a little; after all, he was a very handsome boy.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Jet. I've heard a lot about you and your friends." Ellie said and offered him a friendly smile.
Suddenly, a loud, clashing sound startles her. She looks around to find GUG and Iroh laughing heartedly, pasta salad all over them. She joins them with a little laugh, which kept growing as many others became aware of what had just happened.

(ok. changing to first person)
I was riding along, when out of nowhere I heard the sounds of happy people. "I'm close!" I said with a happy face, sick of being alone. That's when it hit me. I also heard the sound of a couple of three ton rhino's on my tail. I glanced over my shoulder to see if it was just my imagination. But in fact, it wasn't. Those firebenders where hot on my tail. I kicked the rhino, making it run faster. "I'm almost there, just a little further!!"

*Looks over towards Ellie
"Some people.. you can dress them up, but you can't take them out. I think I qualify as a case study of that theory!"
EDIT: I then offer a pasta covered hand out to introduce myself and welcome Jet to our lil event.

So wouldn't you believe it but some strange girl with the oddest hairdo I've ever seen sence Meng has stumbled in... She looked quite exausted for her job of the day was helping the rich Bei Fong family move into their new home by the eastern sea coast. She might have smelled of sweat and brime but the messy strands of hair complemented her haggard work look quite nicely. I saw her suddenly look around. "UGH, I'm a little late but i finally made it guys!"

I could see the stage behind a group of bushes off in the distance. I glanced back at the firebenders, they were gaining on me, and fast. "I have to get to that camp.." I whispered to myself. There, my fellow Zutarians could help me escape these idiots.

Ellie laughs at GUG's clever statement, and then laughs even more when she sees Jet's expression at the pasta-covered hand GUG has extended to him.
She turns around as she hears someone talking to them. It's someone who she doesn't really know, but seems friendly enough. "Hello, my name is Ellie." She says to the girl, smiling. "I'm glad you can join us today. What's your name?"

Alleluia stepped out of the medical tent where her "wound" had been bandaged, intent on heading back to the buffet table and repaying GUG with a little sporkage of her own. So intent was she, that she didn't pay too much attention to where she was walking. Which almost always never turns out well... And this time was no exception. Next thing Alle knew she had rammed into someone... a very small someone.
"Ooof! Hey! Watch where you're going, Bigfoot!"
... apparently a very small someone with a very *big* attitude.
Wait... I recognize that voice... Alle thought.
"Toph!" she exclaimed. "You made it!"
"Yeah. Nice welcome, by the way." Toph said in a chargrinned tone.
"Oh, my apologies." Alle offered a hand out to the girl to help her up. Toph, being Toph, waved it off and got up herself.
"So, how are the festivities going anyway? Have snoozles or twinkle-toes gotten up to sing, ye---" she cut off abruptly. Toph turned her head to the side and "stared" off into the distance, like she had heard something.
It immediately put Alle on alert.
"What is it?" she asked, her own senses hightening. She wished she could see with her own earthbending as the girl could, but it was not a skill she had acquired. So, she would have to rely on toph's keen senses.
"Soemthing is coming toward us. It feels like a small stampede" she bent down to place her hand on the earth. "That way." She pointed. And like a shot she was off. Alle ran after her, readying herself for what may be coming.

Ambassador GUG nearly dropped her shotglass of After Shock she was drinking to and with Uncle Iroh upon seeing Toph and General Alle run off in such a hurry. Pulling out my tonfas, I take my position next to my faithful General. "Do you have any clue what it is?" I ask. I get no reply.. we just stand there watching... waiting. EDIT: I ever so slowly slide my hand into my gi to pull out some Tic Tac's. Without adverting my eyes from the woods, I extend my hand towards General Alle. "Breathmint?" I ask. General Alle squinches her nose and eyes before turning back to me. "Are you for real or what?" she replies in disgust. I shrug my shoulders and answer, "Doesn't hurt to have a clean smelling mouth for battle." I glance over at Alle and wink.

Soon, Ellie is standing next to GUG and General Iroh, exchanging a small greeting with last. She stares at the spot of the dense forest Alle and Toph had just disappeared into, waiting for them to come out unharmed.
"GUG, what do you think it is? It looks like trouble." She finally says, worried.

"Just a little further..." I whispered to myself. Suddenly, the rhino stopped. My momentum was still headed towards the camp, and I went flying. I soard over the rhino's head, and straight into the bushes.
I was a little dizzy when I stood up. I couldn't see straight. I wobbled in the direction of the camp. I couldn't walk straight, I nearly fell over everytime I took a step. I decided to stand still for a moment, just to catch myself. Once my vision returned to normal, I gave my head one last shake, and ran off to the camp.
With twigs and leaves in my hair, scratches on my face, I reached the top of the hill which over looked the entire camp. I stopped, collected myself, and began jogging down the hill "It's all downhill from here." literally.
I saw two figures running towards me, a short one and a familiar one. I would have to get closer. I grabbed my sword, and held it close. I continued jogging down the hill.

Passing the Tic Tac's towards Ellie, I simply answer "I have no idea what is happening. The lil blind girl with the big attitude just ran off to the woods. I'm just standing here so General Alle doesn't look like she has temporary paralysis." I arch an eyebrow towards Ellie, noticing she is not amused by my nonchalant demeanor. So, I decide to break up the seriousness of the moment. "So.. Is Jet your beau? He seems aweful nice." I notice a slight blush overtake Ellie's face.. It is enough to answer my question. EDIT: "OMG Ellie.. IT's, it's.. THE SWAMP CREATURE!"

Curious, I glanced over my shoulder to see if the idiots were still following me. And there they were. "Oh crap.." I figured it would be best if I started running... So there I was, running for dear life. But then it hit me. I'm the captain of the bluespirits. Surely I could take them out.
I could see Toph and Alle coming towards me. I came to a halt. With a devilish smirk on my face, I turned around to face the idiots. I unsheathed my swords, and got into my stance. Bring it on..
