"Sokka and I have to go to school today, so no going on dates with my brother for a while," Katara announced. She grabbed her backpack from the sofa and wears it on her back.
"It wasn't a date." Zuko scowled and crossed his arms. Like he'd ever want to go on a date with him.
Sokka starts an outburst, "Yeah, it wasn't! That was totally uncalled-for, Katara!"
Katara ignores them, "Alright, we'll also have to leave you alone here for a few hours, is that okay?" He just nods.
"And that also means no snooping around our stuff, alright?" Sokka adds.
He glared, "Why would I want to do that?"
"I don't know, just a hunch." Sokka grabs his backpack from the floor next to the couch, they go towards the door and walk out, "Cya."
Zuko was alone all of a sudden. He guessed that this was a good time to find a way out of this different world.
He walks towards the siblings' room and spots a gadget with a screen and a board of different letters sitting on top of the study table, he remembers Sokka talking about it; It was called a "PC"... it might be useful. He approaches the device and after a few seconds of examining, he figures out how to open it.
As the screen illuminates, Zuko knew that this would take a while to learn.
There were so many different icons, he didn't understand any of them.
He notices a circular object with a left and right button (and something in the middle) beside the PC and fiddles around with it, he moves it around the table and the arrow on his screen moves, this must be for opening the icons. To be honest, he felt like an idiot trying to figure out this device.
He tries to open the first thing that catches his eye, it was called Google, what a strange name.
He left clicks and it takes him to a different screen, it showed him a screen where he could use the letters on the plastic board. The background image was Sokka and Katara with their parents, they looked... happy.
The bar on top of the screen said to "Search Google or type a URL". He didn't really know what "type a URL" meant but he saw the word "search", which probably allowed him to search for information?
He wrote the first question that popped up in his mind, 'is it actually possible to travel to different dimensions?' He then presses the enter button.
He got a few results, mostly saying that different dimensions do exist, but this didn't answer his question on how he was supposed to get back home.
He scrolls down and sees one result on a news source, it was about recent sightings of people claiming to not be from this world, and it was dated back to a few days ago. So there were people stuck here like him... he guessed this helped him a bit.
He reads further, it was said that scientists report the cause of this as a sign of the different dimensions merging, and it must've been caused by an imbalance in time.
So it must be because of time travel?
Zuko clutched his head, "Gah, this is all too confusing! How am I supposed to find a way out if I don't even know how I got here in the first place?!"
He paces around the room as he starts retracing his steps; he was at the Wani until it exploded, then he fell into the ocean... this doesn't make sense, and it was starting to irritate him.
He was starting to miss his world, and uncle... he probably needed advice from him right now. He felt so lost at the moment.
He doesn't know what else he could do, he might have to confront the time traveler who started all this but it would be impossible to find them in such a big city. He'd probably have to sit still for a while.
