-NO ONES POV-

There's a mountainous terrain at sunrise as it pans down and to the right. All of Team Avatar is sleeping. Cut to Aang rising and jumping up with airbending, barefoot, and filled with excitement.

Aang: Today's the day! [Lands near a sleeping Sokka.] Can you believe it? After all that time searching for a teacher, I'm finally starting earthbending!

Momo chitters and lands on Sokka.

Aang: And this place, [Momo moves on to Appa's head.] it's perfect, don't you think? Sokka?

Sokka grumbles and glares at Aang with tired eyes.

Aang: Oh, you're still sleeping, huh?

Sokka again grumbles and puts his head back down. Aang whispers.

Aang: Sorry.

The ground shakes, causing Aang to turn to look toward the source of the rumbling. The camera quickly pans to the left to an earth tent, the slabs of which are tossed in every direction mere moments after. As the dust clears, Toph is standing in the middle with her left hand raised in the air.

Toph: Goooood morning, [She puts both her hands on her hips.] earthbending student!

Cut to the side-shot of Appa, with Momo on his head, Sokka, still sleeping and curled up within his sleeping bag with Aang standing at his feet, and Katara, who is sitting upright in her own sleeping bag. Toph walks over to them. You "were" sleeping with a soft grass bed and lavenders around you but you woke up because of toph.

Aang: Good morning, Sifu Toph.

Katara: [Aang bows slightly to Toph; disappointed and tiredly.] Hey, you never called me Sifu Katara or Y/N, Sifu Y/N.

You: [chuckles] I agree..

Aang: [Scratches the back of his head.] Well, if you think I should ...

Sokka suddenly sits up, grumbling at Aang. Cut to a closer shot of Aang, who looks down in wonder, and Toph, who has a smile on her face.

Toph: Sorry, Snoozles, we'll do our earthbending as [Whispers slightly, though with amusement in her voice.] quietly as we can.

Cut to a close-up of Toph's feet as she slams her left heel into the ground, creating a crack. Cut to a side-shot of Sokka, who had laid himself back down. An earth pillar rises up right underneath him, catapulting him screaming into the air.
