-NO ONES POV-
Zuko takes the customer's broadswords and enters a fighting stance. He pulls a table in front of him with his foot and kicks it at Jet, who slices the table with his swords and jumps over it.
As he lands, he swings both hook swords at the Fire Nation prince, who deflects the attack and jumps backward on to another table, which is sliced in half by Jet, swinging one sword through the middle of the table. Zuko steps onto one half of the table and balances on one foot.
Jet continues his attack by cutting the legs on the half of the table Zuko is standing on. Zuko quickly jumps up, and as he lands, he swings both broadswords at Jet's feet, and Jet somersaults away and lands in a crouching position before charging forward at Zuko again.
Zuko swings both of his swords at Jet. Just as both weapons clash together, the scene freezes and cuts to the Ba Sing Se Palace.
———Several high class citizens are lined up and being admitted inside by a guard, who is checking the invitation of one group before letting them pass. You, Toph and Katara are next in line and approach him.
Guard: Invitation please.
Toph: [Formally.] I think this will do.Toph shows the official seal of the Beifong family to the guard. The camera cuts to a closer, detailed shot of the seal, before cutting to the guard.
Guard: No entry without an invitation. Step out of line, please.
You: [deadpan] Well that wasn't expected...
Toph: [Irritated.] Look, the Pangs and the Yumsoon-Hans are waiting in there for us. I'm going to have to tell them who didn't let me in.
Guard: [Unyielding.] Step out of line please.
As the guard points his finger to the side, you and the girls move out disappointedly, when Katara notices a carriage, from which Long Feng comes out, and two Dai Li agents bow to him. Katara has an idea, and she, along with Toph, go to the leader of the Dai Li.
Katara: Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but my cousins lost our invitations. [Whispering.] She's blind and that one is dead. [Again, normally.] Do you think you could help us? Our family's inside and I'm sure they're very worried.
Long Feng:[smiles and bows his head.] I am honored, please come with me.
Long Feng walks toward the guard at the entrance with the trio following him. The guard bows to him and the four of them go into the palace. As they are walking in, Toph and Katara stick their tongues out at the guard while his back is turned. You laughed behind your hand, also joining them as well.
———The scene changes to an overhead shot inside the palace. At one end of the table is Bosco the bear eating a steak, his drool dripping of his chin. Seated to either side of him are two guests.
