Later that Day, Toph came back to her house and was bombarded with questions from her father. So, she just brought them to the garden and proceeded to show them her earth bending. Alexander also challenged her and she showed him her prowess.
"That old man even cured my eyes. I can see just like anyone else now." She added,
Both her parents were dumbfounded.
"I want to go out, father. I can learn so many things in the capital. Not to mention I will be friends with Avatar. Imagine the opportunities I can generate for our family. You were worried about me all this time because I was blind but now I am not and I even have the power to keep myself safe. I want to see the world outside, father." She pleaded.
"Yes, Earth King Kuei will also be very pleased to see her," Alexander said, buttering up the deal even more.
The mention of the earth king piqued Lao Beifong's interest. "Will my daughter meet the king?"
"Yes, she will," Alexander affirmed.
With that, Toph was free to come along with Alexander and the rest. They didn't waste any time and went back to Appa.
When they arrived they saw Chomei making Azula sing songs along with him.
"Sing with me, sick girl."
♫G-Chan is the best,
He let me have some rest
Helping him is my life's quest♫
♫La Lala La Laaaa
La Lala La Laaaaaaaa♫
♫G-Chan gives me tasty food
So I won't ever be rude.
Lucky Seven Chomei Will always be gooooood♫
"Hey, are you stupid, you are not Lucky Seven Chomei, use your own name" He angrily told Azula who was copycatting his song to not get tickled by him.
"BWAAAA!" Appa also made noises from beside them, trying to mimic the songs.
Just then Alexander came, "Hahaha, what is my small potato doing?"
"G-Chan!" Chomei flew into his arms and snuggled.
"So, how was your work today?" he asked.
"Oh, this meanie tried to run three hundred times but I caught her and gave tickle treatment. She is doing good now." Chomei briefed.
Ragnarok walked up to Azula in wonder, "How the hell were you able to attempt escape 300 times when we were gone just for a few hours."
"Haha, it's okay. She is getting better. Get on Appa, everyone. We are leaving for Ba Sing Se," he announced.
"SING? Do people sing there?" Chomei asked with a confused voice.
The next moment Alexander stopped his car beside him, "Oh, so it's you. Why are you traveling alone? Where is my friend, Iroh?"
"We parted ways. What is this thing you are riding?" Zuko asked.
"Oh, this is complicated machinery called a car. It runs on fuel. Why don't you jump in? I'll drive you to your next location. I am headed to the nearby town." Alexander offered.
Alexander noticed the desire in Zuko's eyes but he was not entering. His petty arrogance was stopping him from socializing. "Oh come on, don't be shy. Get in."
He then secretly ordered the Ostrich Horse to run away. "See, now you don't even have the horse. Ah, look, more people. I should help them."
Alexander got out of the car and walked to the husband and wife near the riverside.
"Greetings, travelers," Alexander greeted them.
The man looked at him suspiciously, "Yes?"
"Oh, don't be afraid of me, children. I am just a passerby. I saw you two here with no means of traveling. Your wife here is pregnant and it is bad to make her walk in such heat. Come, I will give you a lift in my cart." He offered.
The husband and wife looked at each other and nodded. Alexander's aura was always filled with positivity so normal people easily trusted him "Thank you, kind mister."
Alexander helped them pack up and get in the car. Inside, Yalo was sitting in the driver's seat. Alexander picked him up and then put him on his lap.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
Yalo had some kind of revenge to settle with the car horn and was pressing it continuously. Alexander just made the horn's sound only audible by Yalo.
"Okay, let's go then. Where are you two going?" He asked the couple.
"Ba Sing Se, we want to take refuge there after our village was burned by the fire nation's army." The man answered.
Alexander saw the guilt appearing on Zuko's face.
"Haha, what a coincidence, I am going to Ba Sing Se too. If you are lucky, you will be able to meet the Avatar as well." He revealed. Not just for the couple but Zuko too. Now Alexander was sure that Zuko would stick with him.
"Okay, it's time for some music then," Alexander cheerfully stated and switched on the music played.
"Am a barbie..."
"Dammit, not this again. I hate barbies." He cursed and put on some orchestra music.
"Such a fascinating machine, this level of technology is even beyond the fire nation," Zuko exclaimed.
He quietly drove and others marveled at the changing scenery so fast while Yalo was still busy with the horn.
