Sozin comet pt 1

"More ferocious! Imagine striking through your opponent's heart!" Zuko said teaching Aang Firebending "I'm trying" Aang said as Zuko growled "Now let me hear you roar like a tigerdillo! That sounded pathetic! I said roar!" Zuko yelled as Aang performed his best roar "I think that's enough training for a little bit" Cordelia said holding a tray of watermelons "Who wants a nice cool glass of watermelon juice?" Katara asked holding two watermelons in her hand.

"Come on, Zuko. Just take a break. What's the big deal?" Suki said after Zuko stopped Aang from taking the juice "Fine! If you want to lounge around like a bunch of snail sloths all day, then go ahead!" He said walking away "Maybe Zuko's right. Sitting around the house has made us pretty lazy. But I know just the thing to change all that... Beach party!" Sokka yelled taking off his clothes.

"Check out my Appa sand sculpture." Aang said proudly "Not bad, baldy, but I've been working on my sandbending. You're gonna love this" toph said cracking her fingers before making a sand sculpture of Ba Sing Se "wanna see my sculpture Sota?" Cordelia asked peeping over his shoulder "I'm busy right now sorry" Sota said standing up.

"Zuko, your father is a real nut job" Cordelia said after Zuko explained his fathers plan on the day of the comet "I always knew the Fire Lord was a bad guy, but his plan is just pure evil." Sokka said "What am I gonna do?" Aang asked "I know you're scared, and I know you're not ready to save the world, but if you don't defeat the Fire Lord before the comet comes, there won't be a world to save anymore." Zuko said approaching him "Why didn't you tell me about your dad's crazy plan sooner?" Aang asked walking away.

"I didn't think I had to. I assumed you were still going to fight him before the comet. No one told me you decided to wait." Zuko said "that was mostly our fault too Aang" Cordelia said "This is bad. This is really, really bad." Aang said falling to his knees "Aang, you don't have to do this alone." Katara said approaching him.

"Yeah, if we all fight the Fire Lord together, we got a shot at taking him down." Toph agreed "your not alone in this" Cordelia added "All right! Team Avatar is back! Air. Water. Water. Water. Earth. Fire. Fan and sword!" Sokka said "was it really appropriate to mention water 3 times?" Cordelia asked "yes, yes it was" Sokka said "Fighting the Fire Lord is going to be the hardest thing we've ever done together, but I wouldn't want to do it any other way." Aang said as they all laughed as they gave him a hug.

"Yeah" toph laughed "Get over here, Zuko. Being part of the group also means being part of group hugs." Katara said stretching her hand out for him before Appa and Momo came flying at them "let's not forget appa and Momo~" Cordelia giggled falling on top of Zuko.

"Gather round, Team Avatar. In order to take out the Fire Lord - or in this case, the Melon Lord - our timing has to be perfect. First, Suki and I will draw his fire. Then, Sota, Katara and Zuko charge in with some liquidy hot offense, and while the Melon Lord is distracted, Aang swoops in ... and bam! He delivers the final blow." Sokka said drawing on the sand "Uh ... what about me and Cordelia?" Toph asked "For now, your both the Melon Lord's forces." Sokka said.

"So I get to chuck flaming rocks at all of you?" Toph asked excitedly "Whatever makes the training feel more realistic." Sokka said "sweetness! Come on Cordelia!" Toph said pulling her towards the watermelon lord side."Mwah-ha-ha-ha!" Toph laughed tossing rocks at the group "I guess we're really doing this" Cordelia said waterbending water tentacles on her hand and attacking the group.

"Watch it, you two!" Sokka shouted after almost getting crushed by a rock "sorry" Cordelia apologized before Sota shot her with water where she fell of the cliff and into the water "Cordelia!" Zuko called running to the edge of the cliff "do you wanna kill her just because of what happened in the show?!" Zuko asked grabbing Sota shirt "it was an accident do you think I'd want to do that to her?" Sota asked grabbing Zuko hand as they both glared at each other.

"I'm fine" Cordelia called out getting out the water "wait there I'm coming down" Sota said getting Zukos hand off him "stay there and finish the training I'll go clean up" she said walking off angrily "well, you heard the lady, let's finish this" Sokka said.

"You okay Cordelia? You seemed angry earlier" Katara asked walking up to Cordelia who was playing with Momo "I was just so fed up with Sota" Cordelia said as Momo flew away "you guys seem to be getting along the other day" Katara said sitting beside her "i don't know why I acted like that, but he just got angry because of a stupid play" she said "maybe because you acted that way because you actually like Zuko" Katara suggested surprising Cordelia.

"Your crazy, there's no way" Cordelia said standing up and attempting to leave "whenever Zuko teaches Aang firebending I always spot you from the corner my eye staring at him especially when he's shirtless, back in Ba Sing Se in the crystal tunnel there was a lot of romantic tension between you two" katara concluded.

"...okay, maybe I like him there's no way he and I could be together, first there's the fact that he's the fire lord son and he's from the fire nation and lastly he still has feelings for his ex girlfriend, no matter how you look at it I don't have a chance with him" she said staring at the ground "how about you help me look for a pot, it will help get your mind off things" Katara said pulling her away.

"I have a surprise for everyone!" Katara said holding a scroll "I knew it! You did have a secret thing with Haru!" Toph said with a smile as everyone stared at her weirdly "Uh, no. I was looking for cooking pots in the attic, and I found this! Look at baby Zuko. Isn't he cute?" Katara said revealing the picture as they all laughed "I know right, so adorable" Cordelia said giggling.

"Oh, lighten up. I'm just teasing." Katara said "That's not me. It's my father." Zuko corrected as katara rolled up the scroll "he's still adorable as a baby" Cordelia said "he looks so sweet and innocent" katara said "Well, that sweet little kid grew up to be a monster, and the worst father in the history of fathers." Zuko said.

"But he's still a human being." Aang said "You're going to defend him?" Zuko asked "No, I agree with you. Fire Lord Ozai is a horrible person, and the world would probably be better off without him, but there's got to be another way." Aang said standing up "Like what?" Zuko asked " I don't know. Maybe we can make some big pots of glue, and then I can use gluebending to stick his arms and legs together so he can't bend anymore." Aang suggested.

"Yeah, then you can show him his baby pictures, and all those happy memories will make him good again." Zuko said sarcastically as Suki, Sokka and Cordelia laughed "Do you really think that would work?" Aang asked excitedly "no" he replied bluntly "This goes against everything I learned from the monks. I can't just go around wiping out people I don't like." Aang said sighing while pacing around "what if I tell you there might be a way to defeat Ozai without killing him" Cordelia said dragging all their attention.
