Kenshin, Aang and their friends arrive in the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu. Sokka and Katara are amazed at the sight of Omashu, noting how they do not have any cities like Omashu back at the South Pole, including having buildings that do not melt in the heat.

"The Earth Kingdom city of Omashu! I used to always come here to visit my friend Bumi."

"Wow. We don't have buildings like this in the South Pole!" Katara impressed.

"They have buildings here that don't melt!" Sokka overwhelmed.

"Well let's go, slow pokes. The real fun's inside the city!" Aang leaps off the top of the hill with his airbending. He had landed a few meters below and in the snow and is starting to slide down.

"Aang, please be careful, that you must!" Kenshin halting Aang with his cry.  "Poeple will know that your the Avatar."

"And people will know your The Battosai." Katara added

"You both need a disguise. And we got to hide your red hair." Sokka stated, somewhat seriously.

"So what am I supposed to do? Grow a mustache?" Aang looking up, in a slightly sarcastic tone. Aang wiggling his nose under which is now a patch of Appa's fur, serving as a mustache. Aang is also wearing a tall wig made of the same material. "Ugh. This is so itchy. How do you live in this stuff?"

Appa slowly turns his head toward Aang and snorts at him as if he was scoffing. Sokka sitting on a rock with Katara standing beside him, arms crossed. "Great! Now you look just like my grandfather."

Katara glancing at Sokka.. "Technically, Aang is 112 years old. Kensin however, is like 115."

Kenshin scratch his head as Aang nimbly kicks up his staff and spins it rapidly around before placing it upright on the ground to be used as a walking stick. He hunches his back and leans heavily on his staff like an old person. "Now let's get to skippin', young whipper-snappers. The big city awaits!"

Aang shuffles out of the frame, while Sokka and Katara questioningly look at each other then back to Kenshin. Walking down the long path to Omashu,  the four end with a center of the city. "You guys are going to love Omashu. The people here are the friendliest in the world."

"Rotten cabbages?! What kind of slum do you think this is?" The  guards and a cabbage merchant with his cart in front of the closed gate of Omashu; harshly. He squishes the cabbage he is holding and knocks another two cabbages out of the merchant's hands. He proceeds by earthbending a rock under the cart, catapulting it high in the air, making it tumble down the chasm with all the cabbages.

"No! My cabbages!" The Cabbage merchant dramatically waving his arms in despair.

Kenshin and Aang appear and look over the rim, their mouths open in shock, as a loud crash is heard.

"Just keep smiling!" Aang broadly smiling; somewhat nervously.

While Aang walks over to the guards, Katara and Sokka give each other an uneasy look. Katara flashes her teeth in an awkward way and chuckles uncomfortably, while Sokka merely raises a doubtful eyebrow. The earthbender steps to the front and raises a boulder out of the ground before Aang and levitates it above his head.

"State your business!" The guard spat aggressively with a glare.

Aang quickly runs from underneath the boulder and toward the guard; he halts right in front of the surprised man. "My business is my business, young man, and none of yours! I've got half a mind to bend you over my knee and paddle your backside!"  In old man voice, poking the chest of the sentry. Aang's audacity to talk to the sentry like that, and Katara, shaking her head with eyes wide open in shock.
