Chapter X: The headband

The next day Aang went back to school and got in trouble for not reciting the Fire Nation oath correctly, as he had never heard it before, the other students thought his clumsiness was just part of a joke, but the The teacher punished her interruption of the class with a quiz on the history of the Fire Nation, the students grunted but started working on the quiz as Aang looked at them a bit confused.

"Question one, in what year did the Fire Lord Sozin fight against the Air Nomads army?" the teacher asked, Aang raised his hand "Kuzon?"

"Uh, is that a trick question?" the disguised Avatar asked to the woman "the Air Nomads did not have a military formation, Sozin defeated them with an ambush"

"Well, I don't know how you could know more than our national history book unless... you were there a hundred years ago" the teacher answered arching an eyebrow.

"Just, I'll write the best I could, I guess" Aang replied, then sat back down at his desk and started working on his quiz.

During music class, Aang tried to play the Tsungi horn and was scolded by the teacher for moving in a dancing-like way, something that is apparently not considered appropriate in the Fire Nation. Onji seemed to enjoy this unusual dance, although when Aang offered to teach her during recess, he accidentally provoked Hide's rage, who tried to hit him; however, Aang deftly evaded each attempted attack with his hands behind his back, causing Hide to stumble and fall without ever touching him or using some bending he had recently been learning about. Unfortunately, this little fight gets Aang in trouble for "assaulting" a favorite student of the headmaster, which results in a parents-teacher meeting.

After class, Sokka and Katara had to attend the meeting acting like Aang's parents, they went to the principal's office and sat in front of the old man who was looking at them with a serious but reasonable gaze.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. and Mrs..." the headmaster said while he waited for both disguised siblings to answer.

"Fire, Wang Fire" Sokka introduced himself using his fake name and pointed at Katara with his hand "and she is my wife, Sapphire"

"Sapphire Fire, nice to meet you" Katara greeted him as she held a fake pregnant belly with both hands on top.

"Mr. and Mrs. Fire... your son has been registered here for two days and is already causing problems" the headmaster told them, Sokka crossed his arms and arched an eyebrow while listening to what the man had to say "he discussed with his history teacher, interrupted music class and bullied my best student"

"God" Katara said as she put a hand to her mouth as a sign of disappointment and concern "well, that doesn't sound like our Kuzon"

"That's what any mother would say ma'am. However, you are warned, if he behaves like this one more time, I will send him to the correctional... by that I mean the coal mines" the headmaster said with a warning tone in his voice "was that clear to you?"

"Don't worry Mr. Headmaster" Sokka as he placed his hands on his knees "I will straighten this boy with some discipline" he looked away to Aang "young man, as soon as we get home you will have the punishment of your life"

"That's what I wanted to hear" the principal commented, sitting back in his chair, the three of them got up and left the principal's office, left the school and returned to the cave where Toph was probably waiting for them.

That same afternoon, Azula decided it was a perfect day to hang out with her friends and obviously she took Zuko with her with the excuse that he needed to get out of his hole of depression and misery and try to have some fun. If shopping in town and scaring merchants was fun for her, Zuko was not interested, he did not want to be a part of it; however, there he was, standing outside next to one of the many shops that the Fire Nation capital had looking at from time to time at his sister who was looking at some accessories, choosing which of all she was interested in taking, Mai and Ty Lee were there helping her and by the way, Ty Lee was looking for something for her too.
