Velvet's Return: The Last Airbender (DISCONTINUED)

The Southern Air Temple

The sun starts to rise over the lake and the group are on the lake shore and one of them is sleeping on the ground in one of the sleeping bags while Appa is standing and grazing slowly. Aang is on his head adjusting Appa's reins while Katara and Velvet are on the saddle doing some work. Katara was brushing Velvet's hair with her comb while Velvet was reading.

"Wait 'til you guys see the Air Temple. It's one of the most beautiful things in the world." Aang said.

"Aang, I know you're excited, but it's been a hundred years since you left home." Katara said.

"That's why I'm so excited." Aang said.

"What Katara is trying to say is that a lot can change in all this time." Velvet said. "The same thing happened to me, remember."

"I know, but I wanna see it for myself." Aang replied and he gets off of Appa and walks over to Sokka who is still sleeping in his sleeping bag. "C'mon, Sokka! Wake up! Time to go see the Air Temple!"

"Sleep now...Air Temple later..." Sokka said groggily.

Aang is not pleased by this but then he makes a smirk and finds a stick and grabs it, Velvet and Katara watch what Aang is doing from on top of Appa as he walks to Sokka again.

"Isn't it best for you to wake him up?" Katara asked Velvet, giving back the comb.

"No, if you want to see me threating Sokka every time he needs to wake up, it's going to be tiering after a while." Velvet explained, pocketing the comb in her pocket and the book back into the bag.

"Sokka! Wake up! There's a prickle snake on your sleeping bag!" Aang said as he puts the stick up and down on Sokka's sleeping bag. Sokka is startled by this and screams.

"GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" Sokka shouted as he hops around in his sleeping bag until he loses balance and falls down to the ground. Velvet and Katara laugh at him while Sokka is very annoyed.

"Good, you're awake!" Aang said.

"Can I sleep while we're flying?" Sokka asked.

"Sure. He only woke you up because he wants to go to that Air Temple." Katara said.

"C'mon! Let's go!" Aang said.

"Okay, Mister Excited, we're going." Velvet said.

"Yip yip!" Aang said as Appa starts to fly.

Meanwhile Zuko's ship arrives at the Fire Nation naval yard and the ship is still damaged after what Aang and Velvet did, when the ship opens up Zuko and Iroh walk out of it and enter the naval yard itself.

"Uncle, I want the repairs made as quickly as possible. I don't want to risk losing their trial." Zuko said.

"You mean the Avatar and the Arte user?" Iroh asked.

"Don't mention them on the docks! Once word gets out that the Avatar is alive and about the girl being an Arte user, every Firebender will be out looking for them and I don't want anyone to get in the way." Zuko said.

"Get in the way of what, Prince Zuko?" A voice asked and the two turn to see a man wearing Fire Nation armor and having his hands behind his back and the man walks over to the two.

"Captain Zhao." Zuko said with distaste.

"It's COMMANDER Zhao now." Zhao said and he turns to Iroh. "And General Iroh the great hero of our nation." Zhao said bowing to Iroh said.

"RETIRED general." Iroh corrected.

"The Fire Lord's brother and son are welcomed guests anytime. What brings you two to my harbor?" Zhao asked.
