-NO ONES POV-

The scene opens to Team Avatar's place of stay in Ba Sing Se, where Sokka is drawing inaccurate pictures of Appa for missing posters. Katara, you and Aang enter.

Katara: [Cheerfully.] We found a printer to make our posters!

She reveals the poster and you and the airbender smiles and points at it.

Sokka: Hey, I thought designing the lost Appa poster was my job. I've been working all day on my Appa!

He shows his crudely drawn picture of Appa with a proud smile. Cut to an exasperated Aang while Katara tries to hold back her laughter.

Aang: Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's head.
Sokka: [Dismayed.] This is his head. [Points to the sketch.]

Katara: [Takes the picture from Sokka, looks confused.] Why are feet coming out of it?

You: He looks like a pear. [points at body]

Sokka: [Snatches back the picture indignantly.] Those are his horns. And you lookin like a pear! [Hangs his head.] I haven't seen him in a while, okay?

Toph: [Mockingly.] It looks just like him to me!

Sokka: Thank you, I worked really- [Suddenly remembering that she is blind.] Why do you feel the need to do that?

Katara: Let's just stick with the professional version.

Sokka angrily rips up his drawing.

Aang: [Excitedly.] Come on, let's get busy! [you hold up some pamphlets.]

Cut to Aang and Momo dropping dozens of posters all over Ba Sing Se. One poster falls in front of the camera, and the scene changes to tea shop where Zuko and Iroh are working. Iroh serves tea to two customers, who enjoy it. They approach him.

Quon: So, you're the genius behind this incredible brew. The whole city is buzzing about you! I hope Pao pays you well.

Iroh: Good tea is its own reward.

Quon: But it doesn't have to be the only reward. How would you like to have your own tea shop?

Iroh: [Pao looks around, concerned.] My own tea shop? This is a dream come true!

Pao: [Quickly moving to stand between the group.] What's going on here? Are you trying to poach my tea-maker?

Quon: Sorry Pao, but that's business for you, am I right?

Pao: Mushi, if you stay, I'll make you assistant manager. Wait, senior assistant manager!

Quon: I'll provide you with a new apartment in the Upper Ring.

Cut to Zuko, who was busy putting empty tea cups on a tray, but now looks up and glances over his shoulder to follow Quon's offer more closely.

Quon: The tea shop is yours to do whatever you want, [Cut back to frontal shot of Quon.] complete creative freedom.
