For just an hour.. it certainly felt like entire day waiting on that airplane. You would find a nicely dressed blonde sitting anxiously in his first class seat..Creamed colored suit with a white button up dress shirt underneath.. He looked as if he was just leaving a business trip. And he sort of did. Rusty Ryan just left the Las Vegas Airport and was heading back home to Los Angeles. Bronze tinted sunglasses partially concealed his natural blue eyes. The fingers of his right hand would fondle with a an empty champaigne class.. It would have been nice if the so called flight attendant made an appearance this century but what can you do with Flight Service now a days? His face was calm.. but those eyes bugged out.. it was obvious that he was getting impatient.. He then set his glass down.. and reached for his miniature bag of peanuts.. slowly pulling apart the bag.. then knocking the entire contents right into his mouth.. munching away on the nuts..

Suddenly.. he felt the plane start to shake.. a bit of a turbulance wasn't really anything to be paranoid about.. But when he started to notice.. the passenger in front of him vanishing before his eyes.. he looked back at the bag of peanuts to question what was really in those nuts. A worried look with a sudden bad taste in his mouth.. he quickly went to grab a bottle of water to wash away whatever possibly drugged him! BUT when he went to grab his water, that too was gone. And more passengers started to disappear quicker and faster! Until.. the plane itself disappeared.. and he was left in the air.. with his carry-on.

"Oh. My. God."

His eyes shifted towards his carry on bag.. quickly he snatched it from the air and held it close to him before he allowed himself to free fall! His carry-on contained about third of a million dollars in cash. He was not about to let that thing disappear with the rest! Just when Rusty thought his life was at it's end.. he felt himself stop in thin air.. not only that.. but he found himself in a completely different place. Noise of chaos started to echoe in his ears.. Slot machines going off.. and other sorts of noises a Game room would contain.. Did he just hear bowling pins fall? Rusty stood still frozen by what just had happend.. He brought that strap of his carry on over his shoulder.. a hand went over the same shoulder.. and he pinched the very flesh of his bicep to wake himself up if he was in some sort of dream.. Or what if he died? He truly didn't know.. The environment was very surprisingly suiting for the man.. that's what spooked him the most.

He started to walk among the game room.. noticing a few people playing their games on the slot machines and arcade games.. his eyebrows were raising up as high as it could go.. and that shocking expression seized to stay on him.. Rusty was just so tripped out by the whole situation he was too caught up in his mind to even think about speaking to the gamers.. raising those sunglasses that managed to stay over his eyes and resting them over his head.. And as calmly as any shocked person could be,

"What in God's name were in those peanuts."

Katara’s cheeks coloured a bit as he mentioned films. Of course he would be from a time and place that offered those things. She seemed to be the only one amazed at them here. Very funny, Planet… The young woman thought with some annoyance. At least she had a name for the moving, talking pictures.

Then he began speaking of the huge metal contraptions that fly, and she felt amazed. Sokka would have loved to see those. It was interesting to know that- assuming Rusty was from the same world as Tyler- even though their people couldn’t bend the elements, they could still do things that only benders in her world could do. “That sounds really cool, the airplanes I mean- not the bad stewardess. In my world only airbenders could fly. Well, and the firebenders when they had the hot air balloons. I guess there were also the Earth Kingdom people who inhabited the Northern Air Temple. They found a way to create machines that blew hot air around, so they could fly with gliders they made. Other than that, no other humans could fly. From the way you talk about it, it sounds like anyone can ride in those planes.”

Katara grinned at his reaction to the golem. She might have reacted much the same if she hadn’t thought of earthbending in association with them first. Moments after Rusty ordered and asked her about the Water Tribes, the golem returned to place their food and drinks in front of them. “No one in my world offered this fast of service, either.” She smiled before lifting a pair of chopsticks to eat a bit of the crab meat and rice. After taking a sip of her water, she began describing her world a bit.

“Well, there are four nations in my world. The Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom are each one large land mass, though the Fire Nation has some small islands. However, the Air Temples and the Water Tribes are split up. There are four Air Temples, one in each direction- north, east, south, and west. There are three Water Tribes. The Northern Water Tribe is in the North Pole, the Southern Water Tribe- where I’m from- is in the South Pole, and the Foggy Swamp Tribe is in the Foggy Swamp in the Earth Kingdom.

“They’re sort of named for the most prominent bending ability in that region. I’m a waterbender, for example, and I’m from the Southern Water Tribe.

“What about you? What was your home world like?” Katara took a couple more bites of her meal and drank more water from her glass.

Rusty nodded towards the stone golem after they quickly delivered their food.. Katara's entree looked rather appetizing, he may just have to order that the next time he came by. But the man loved his burgers. A typical American meal--but he loved the fresh grilled taste of a Cheeseburger. He picked up the hand held entree and took a nice big bite while he listened to her speak about her world. It was definitely nothing like he's ever heard of. And how only certain people were allowed to fly.

"Well.. we have captains that operate these airplanes. We just hop along for the ride. Lucky us right?" He said with his mouth still a little full from hamburger meat and bread. He took a swallow.. and continued to hear her talk about the Fire Nations and the Air and Water. He then came to know that she is of the Water Tribe.

"So you can control anything that has to do with water?" He said intrigued by the whole idea.

"Me? Well. I live in a world that is separated by a lot of things. First we have our North south east west Hemispheres. Then we break it down to Continents. Then it's broken down into Countries. Then where I am from we're broken down into States. So I am Rusty from the Northern Hemisphere, in North America, of The United states of America, and I inhabit the state of California." He was trying to make it sound more exotic than it really was. He also didn't expect her to keep up with the vocabulary.

"I don't have any real special power.. But I do have my talents." He took another bite out of his burger.. then reached to grab his spiked cola.. and took a nice drink from it. Katara seized to amaze him.. everything she was telling him.. it was unbelievable.. but after being taken to an uncharted planet; he may have to take her word for it.
