(The Scene opens in a box canyon on a peaceful sunny afternoon. A waterfall cascades into a deep pool, and we see Aang and company enjoying some off-time. Sokka is sitting on a rock studying a scroll while Momo observes from his shoulder. Toph splashes her feet from the pool's edgel, while Aang swims on his back. Aang encases his body in a block of ice, floating along peacefully. The cameral pans up to the highest point in the canyon, as Katara prepares to dive off).

Katara: Waterbending bomb! Yeah!

(Katara performs a tumbling cannonball into the pool. She sends up a massive column of water that washes Aang ashore, shattering his ice block. As water drenches them all, Toph and Aang laugh with delight.)

Sokka: (holding out dripping map) Sure, 5000 year old maps from the spirit library, just splash some water on 'em.

Katara: Sorry.

(Katara emerges from the pool as she says this, wringing water out of her hair. She then uses a waterbending technique to draw the water out of the map Sokka is holding up. Everyone gathers around as Sokka spreads the map out on the ground.

Ben: (Off-screen) Hey Guys

(Camera pans to Ben wearing his swim trunks)

Ben: Watch this

(Ben uses the Omnitrix to transform into Cannonbolt, then he runs back, and then he starts coming up fast and at the cliff he jumps)

Cannonbolt: Cannonbolt, Cannonball

Sokka: No, no, no, no!!!

(Ben plummets down towards the lake and makes a big splash, witch the water from the lake again get's on Sokka's Map)

Sokka: Come On!!!!!

(The Omnitrix times out)

Ben: Sorry Sokka

(Katara once again draws water out of Sokka map)

Aang: So, did you figure out what route we're gonna take?

Sokka: (pointing out map features) Okay. We just got out of the desert, so we must be around here, and we need to go to Ba Sing Se, which is here. It looks like the only passage connecting the South to the North is this sliver of land called the Serpent's Pass.

Toph: You're sure that's the best way to go?

Sokka: It's the only way, I mean it's not like we have Appa to fly us there.

Katara: (in a hushed voice) Shush up about Appa. Can't you at least try to be sensitive? (Sokka and Katara glance up at Aang)
Aang: (calmly) Katara, it's ok. I know I was upset about losing Appa before, but I just want to focus on getting to Ba Sing Se, and telling the Earth King about the solar eclipse.
Katara: (surprised) Oh, well, ok. I'm glad you're doing better.
Sokka: (rolling map) Then to Ba Sing Se we go, no more distractions.

(Just as Sokka finishes saying this, a trio of Earth kingdom civilians appear in the background.)

Than: (calling out) Hello there fellow refugees!

(In a closer shot, we see a waving young man in his twenties, a very pregnant young woman and a teen-aged girl. Sokka expression changes to consternation. Scene switches to both groups gathered in conversation.)
