Once everyone finished visiting Aunt Wu they happily made there way out of her home. Katara and Aang were happy because of their futures. Sokka and Iskra were happy to leave because of their futures.

"Well, now you got to see for yourselves that future telling is a big stupid hoax," Sokka says firmly.

"Your just saying that because you're gonna make yourself unhappy your whole life," Katara smirks at Sokka.

Sokka received a very unpleasant reading; he's going to make himself unhappy his whole life and be his own destruction. Iskra couldn't help but relate to him.

"That women is crazy, my life will be calm and happy and joyful!" Sokka kicks a rock at a wall but it just bounces back to hit him in the face. "That doesn't prove anything."

"Well I liked my predictions, certain things are gonna turn out very well," Katara looks up to the sky.

"They sure are," Aang smirks.

"Why? What did she tell you?" Katara asks with a smile.

"Some stuff, you'll find out," Aang shrugs.

A big crowd of people draws the groups attention towards them. They make their way, standing behind them with curiosity.

"What's with the sky?" Katara asks a villager.

"We're waiting for Aunt Wu to come and read the clouds to predict the fate of the whole village," He replies.

"That cloud kind of looks like a fluffy bunny," Aang points to one of the clouds.

"You better hope that's not a bunny, the fluffy bunny cloud forecast, doom and destruction," He warns.

"Do you even hear yourself?" Sokka rolls his eyes.

"The cloud reading will tell us if mount Makapu will remain dormant for another year, or if it will erupt," Another villager chimes in, pointing to the large volcano behind the village.

"Here comes Aunt Wu," Katara cheers quietly as the villagers part way for her.

She walks towards a small platform, standing on it as she begins to read the clouds, stretching her hands out briefly before pulling out a book.

"Bending arrow cloud, good crops this year nice big harvest," She smiles.

"Darn good news!" A farmer and his wife cheer.

"Wavy moon shaped cloud, let's see, gonna be a great year for twins," She says. "And a cumulus cloud with a twisty knob, coming off the end of it. The village will not be destroyed by the volcano this year!"

Everyone cheered loudly, throwing their hands in the air with full trust that Aunt Wu is telling the truth. Iskra couldn't help but roll her eyes, there's no way she can actually see the future.

Katara ran off after Aunt Wu, wanting another reading whilst all the villagers went back to their regular day activities.

"I'm gonna prove Aunt Wu's predictions are nonsense!" Sokka says to Aang and Iskra. "But how do I do that?"

Iskra had been asking herself the same question for the past hour, she finally had an answer. She taps Sokkas shoulder, pointing to the volcano.
