It is a beautiful day with lazy, puffy white clouds and sunshine. Clouds moving below, A red bird moves into view, soon engulfed in an Appa shaped shadow. Appa is moving slowly through the clouds, replaced quickly by a pan left showing Aang in Appa's driving seat, leaning back, enjoying himself with a reed in his mouth. Katara stretches out on her stomach looking over Appa's side, Sokka whittles, while Zumi is in a contortion pose drawing.

"(from o.s. at first): Those clouds look so soft, don't they? Like you could just jump down and you'd land in a big, soft cottony heap." Katara said

"Maybe you should give it a try." Sokka told katara

" You're hilarious." Katara responded

Aangs  head pops up ,a wide grin on his face while Zumi gets out of her contortion pose and stands up

"we'll try it! Yehhhh!" Aang says as he jumps off Appa with Zumi


 Sokka and Katara look over the side of Appa as they plunge through a cloud. A moment later Aang,without Zumi, lands next to them with his glider soaking wet.

"Turns out clouds are made of water!" He says as he dries himself with air bending 

 Sokka and Katara eye him strangely

"Where is Zumi?"Katara asks with concern

The three look over the side of Appa. Suddenly, Zumi flies up with her glider in her hand [ok i know you have to do stuff blah blah blah to do this put just go with it] 

"Wooohooo" Zumi cheered as she flew in the sky

"She unlocked the ability of flight!"  Aang said

Katara and Sokka are shocked until Katara looks over appa.

"Hey, what is that?" She asks

Up ahead, the floor of the valley below around the river is black instead of vegetation green.

"It's like a scar." Sokka stated.

Burnt tree stumps dot the barren landscape. Sokka, Katara and Aang have dismounted Appa and are walking around while Zumi lands on the ground. Aang is in the foreground, Katara and Zumi on his left back near Appa and Sokka to his right.

"Listen, it's so quiet. There's no life anywhere." Sokka said.
 

"Aang, are you ok?" katara asked Aang.

Sokka is examining some footprints on the ground

"Fire Nation! Those evil savages make me sick! They have no respect for –" Sokka starts but is cut off by Zumi and Katara." What? I'm not allowed to be angry?" sokka whispers.

Katara points ahead. Aang is standing in the distance, clearly upset. He sinks to his knees in the dust and sighs. Aang begins to run his hands through the burnt earth.

"Why would anyone do this? How could we let this happen?" Aang asked

"Aang, you didn't let this happen. It has nothing to do with you." Katara responded

" Yes it does. It's the Destiny and Avatar's job to protect nature. But, I don't know how to do my job."Aang stated

" That's why we're going to the North Pole to find y'all a teacher." Katara

"Yeh, a waterbending teacher, but there's no one who can teach us how to be the Avatar and Destiny. Monk Gyatso said that Avatar Roku and Destiny Rin would help us." Aang said

"The Avatar and Destiny before you two? they died over a hundred years ago, how are you supposed to talk to them?" Sokka asked

" I don't know." Zumi said

Momo jumps into his lap and begins to chitter. Aang pets his back. 

~With Prince Zuko~

Prince Zuko emerging from tall reads into a clearing.

" Uncle! It's time to leave! Where are you? Uncle Iroh!" Zuko yells, trying to find his uncle


Zuko walks down the path. A fire soldier uniform ,hanging from the low branches of a tree . General Iroh in a hot bath, the tub made out of rock and it is fed by a stream coming out of the rocks behind it.

"Over here."Iroh said, happily
