Aang and Nigel were slump over in Appa saddle as Appa was flying low just above the water's surface. Aang sighs in boredom as he looks at Nigel who looks back at him.

"Can't you fly us the rest of the way" Aang asks.

"You ask me that now when we are clearly seeing bits of ice floating around us. We be there before we now it. Trust me the north pole can't be much farther away so let's just relax till we get there" Nigel says.

Suddenly the water around them begins to freeze as boats full of water benders appear. Meanwhile Zhao was discussing his plan of attack with other Firenation Captains.

"He's heading north. The Northern Water Tribe. The Avatar needs to master waterbending. He's looking for a teacher."

Captain Li impatiently says "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get him!"

"Patience, Captain Li. This isn't some little Earth village we can just march into. The Water Tribe is a great nation. There's a reason they've survived a hundred years of war. The frozen tundra is treacherous, the landscape itself is an icy fortress. We'll need a massive invasion force" Zhao says.

Elsewhere Katara was practicing her waterbending as Sokka acted as her sparing partner. Sokka attacked with his boomerang in hand as he swiped at Katara. She blocked his attcaks with her waterbending and then when she saw her moment froze Sokka in place. She then frees Sokka as they look to their left to see Zuko watching them.

"You improved tremendously, but it's still not enough to capture the Avatar. Just remember what you have to do and I'll keep my end of the bargin" Zuko says as he walks away.

In the North Pole Nigel and Aang ride Appa into the North Pole Village. It was much bigger and more elegant. Waterbenders were everywhere as Nigel noticed a beautiful girl with white hair riding in a big boat. Nigel's first though was how Sokka would be drooling over someone so pretty. Suddenly his eyes glowed white as he looked back at the girl. Nigel didn't know what just happened, but he knew there something special about that white hair girl.

Night has fallen as Zuko has his shipped docked near the edges of the North Pole waters. Katara and Sokka got on a boat as Zuko says "Take this life boat and take it to the North Pole. Once your there act like everything is Normal and gain his trust. When the moment is right take this. It's paralyzing saliva from the Shirshu. Just put it in something that the Avatar can ingest wait for it to take affect. When it does bring him to me and your free to go" Zuko says.

Katara and Sokka set sail to get inside the North Pole. Zuko goes to hide his ship till the two siblings complete their mission. That night the Chief of the Northern Watertribe welcomed the Avatar and the Gardian to their group. He then introduced his daughter Princess Yue as she justed turned 16 and is of marrying age.

"Thank you, Father. May the great Ocean and Moon Spirits watch over us during these troubled times!"

"Now, Master Pakku and his students will perform!"

Pakku and two students bend significant blobs of water, captivating Aang and Katara. They merge the three blobs into one stream, bending it around each other.

After the his performance Master Pakku stood in front of the plaza fountain. In front of him stood the Chief, Nigel and Aang.

"My friend and I can't wait to start training with you! After we relax for a couple of days" Aang says.

"If you want to relax, then I suggest visiting a tropical island. If not, I'll see you both at sunrise. Good night" Pakku says as he walks off.

Zuko waited on his ship as he sent June out with her Shirshu in case Katara and Sokka betrayed or failed him. His uncle opened the door to his chamber as behind him Admiral Zhao walked in behind him.
