Aang, Katara, Toph, Zuko, Appa, and Momo are relaxing on Ember Island as Sokka proposes a game whilst carrying his detective gear.
|
| Sokka
|
It's game time! Who's playing?
|
| Zuko
|
I hate games.
|
| Momo
|
Squeak!
|
| Sokka
|
Momo's up for it! Who else?
|
| Katara
|
You know he won't shut up until we agree.
|
|
|
The next panel shows Sokka - now donning his detective gear - with his hands over his eyes while counting down as Aang, Katara, Toph, Zuko, and Momo run to find a hiding spot.
|
| Sokka
|
One. Two. Three. Four. Five ...
|
|
|
Sokka makes his way to a bush and spots Momo's visible ears sprouting from within.
|
| Sokka
|
[Carrying a melon.] Hmmm. I think that's the first bush I've ever seen that has a pair of ears. Look at all this big, juicy fruit I found. Too bad I can't share it with Momo.
|
| Momo
|
[Uncovering his head from the bush.] Mrr?
|
|
|
Momo, now on Sokka's shoulder and wearing similar detective gear, eats his melon while Sokka happily watches.
|
| Sokka
|
I think we're going to be a great team, Momo. Now, where do you suspect Aang is hiding?
|
| Momo
|
Chitter. Chitter.
|
|
|
Momo flies into the air while Sokka frantically runs behind him, struggling to keep up.
|
| Sokka
|
You'd better be leading me in the right direction, Momo!
|
|
|
The next panel shows Momo on a rock and pointing to the sky. Sokka follows the lemur's sight to spot Aang on his glider in midair.
|
| Aang
|
Hey! Momo helped you. That's not fair!
|
| Sokka
|
[Petting Momo.] That's detective Momo to you! Nice work, buddy.
|
|
|
The next panel shows Sokka and Momo looking at footprints on a dirt path leading to a nearby geyser of water.
|
| Sokka
|
Hmmm. These footprints seem to be the exact size of Katara's feet. And they seem to end right near that waterfall.
|
|
|
Sokka watches unamused as he spots Katara within the water geyser, bending it in order to reveal her location.
|
| Sokka
|
[Unamused.] Sigh. That was way too easy. [Turning, whispering to Momo.] I think we should just let her continue waterbending for a while.
|
|
|
Sokka and Momo are examining a couple of stray leaves from their bush.
|
| Zuko
|
[Jumping out of the bush.] YAHHHHHH!
|
|
|
Sokka and Momo are frightened and fall back as a result.
|
| Sokka
|
[Confusedly.] What was that?
|
| Zuko
|
[Proudly.] Ha! I got you!! I win hide-and-shriek!
|
| Sokka
|
It's hide-and-seek, Zuko. I got you.
|
| Zuko
|
[Storming off in anger.] I really hate games.
|
|
|
Sokka and Momo spot Appa covering his eyes as he hides behind a thin tree that barely covers his torso.
|
| Sokka
|
Uh, nice try, Appa. Almost didn't see you there.
|
|
|
Appa licks a slightly disgusted Sokka. The next panel shows Sokka walking alongside a flying Momo in a wooded area.
|
| Sokka
|
I guess we might as well go find Toph and finish the game ...
|
| Momo
|
Squeakasqueak!
|
|
|
The next panel shows that the sun is starting to set as Sokka and Momo stand on a rock in the sand.
|
| Sokka
|
Well, we've narrowed it down to this area ... but why haven't we found her yet?
|
| Momo
|
Skree? [Curls into a ball and begins to sleep.]
|
| Sokka
|
[Confusedly.] Our detective skills are superb ... this doesn't make sense.
|
|
|
Toph earthbends the rock into the air, revealing her location and sending Sokka and Momo onto the sand.
|
| Toph
|
I can't stand it any longer!!!
|
|
|
The next panel shows Toph brushing dirt off herself as Sokka's feet, with stink lines, stick into the air.
|
| Toph
|
Sorry ... but you really need to clean those feet of yours - they stink!
|
| Sokka
|
[Weakly.] Got you ...
