Sokka, or, as he liked to be called when wearing his beard and mustache, Mr. Smithington, was organizing some papers when Zuko walked in. Clearing his throat, he quickly switched to his adult voice.
"Hello, Zuko. I've been expecting you for some time now," he said. Sokka gestured to his leather couch. "Please, make yourself comfortable."
Zuko slammed the door behind him.
Sokka gestured to the couch again.
Reluctantly, Zuko lay down on the couch.
"Sokka, why does the plaque on the door say Dr. Maxwell H. H. Smithington the Fifth?"
Sokka fingered the ends of his mustache. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, Zuko," he settled into a recliner opposite the couch and pulled out a pen and notepad. "Now, why are you here?"
"My uncle made me come," said Zuko.
"Mmhhmm," Sokka scribbled something on his notepad, "And why do you suppose he did that?"
"I don't know. He's a crazy old man."
"A crazy old man... I think that's your problem right there."
"What are you talking about?"
"I think you have an anger problem," said Sokka, pointing at Zuko with his pen.
"I don't have an anger problem!" Zuko stood up from the couch.
"You sure? You seem to be a little angry right now," said Sokka, scooting his chair back a couple inches.
Zuko laid back down on the couch, silently fuming. Sokka leaned over to pat him on the shoulder, but Zuko slapped his hand away.
"Don't worry Zuko, anger management is a common problem among Fire Nation royalty, and is very curable."
"Okay then Sokka, what do you think I should do? Just forget about my entire childhood, and pretend everything is happy and perfect?"
Sokka wagged his finger in the air."No Zuko, denial is never the answer."
"Well what is then?"
Sokka quickly scratched a few more things into his notebook, tore out a page, and handed it to Zuko along with a DVD.
Zuko looked at the page and the DVD, then back up at Sokka. Sokka nodded. Zuko sighed, then walked out of the room.
Author's Note: So, how this is going to work is every character is going to have two chapters. One in which they receive a diagnosis from Sokka, then a second (longer) chapter in which they discuss how is advice turned out.
