Authors Note: These scenes happen after the fight in Ba Sing Se, when they're already in the Fire Nation. They also somehow meet up with Suki. She wants them to stay.

Sokka's POV:

"Suki, it's just a small trip. I won't be gone for too long. I'll send you lots of messages. I have a really high IQ, remember? I'll think of something." Just giving Suki a goodbye before me, Katara, Toph and Aang head to the Fire Nation. We've sent Suki back to Kiyoshi Island. "Okay! Let's go to the Fire Nation! I'm refreshed and ready to kick some Fire Nation heads!" They stare at me, and Katara says "Sokka, really? We just have to find some random food to give…er…what's her face. Aang, what's her name again?" "Her name is Annalisa, of the Earth Kingdom. Weird name, right? She has information on hiding. Like invisible hiding, where they don't even know you're there, but we have to get her a rare yellow coconut. Then she'll cooperate. It's really important. It's hidden in the depths of the Fire Nation." By this time, I've fallen asleep on Appa. We leave, then find ourselves in the biggest storms EVER. "Aang! Do you have enough control?" Katara shouts, while asking. "WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?" screams Toph, who looks a little nauseated. Aang tries to steer, but the wind is too powerful. He goes into his Avatar State, and blocks the wind. Katara quickly takes the job of steering, Toph is trying not to throw up, and I'm holding on like my life depends on it. Aang does a good job, the wind is less powerful. Still there, yet not as powerful. We finally clear out of the storm, which takes about 15 minutes. "Everyone okay?" Katara asks. "NO, we're perfectly fine, after being tossed around like a…a… hurricane! No wait, after going THROUGH ONE!" I sarcastically say. We start to argue, which ticks both Aang and Toph. "Will you guys give it a rest? I don't hear Twinkle Toes complaining, and he's the one who blocked all the wind!" We're silenced, then Aang bursts "Look! There's the forest that holds the coconut! Wait… aren't we too low if I can see this? Quick, land!" Soon, we're in this forest. "Ugh. This place gives me the creeps. Can't we go somewhere nice and relaxing, like Kiyoshi Island? No? Fine…be like that. SO inconsiderate." They stare at me, and I ask "What? I don't want to be here. Why do we need a coconut? Wait… don't answer that." We start to walk, and the forest is filled with eerie sounds and Katara has this scared look, Aang has this scared but try to cover it up with courage look, Toph looks pretty calm, and I probably look creeped out. Toph suddenly goes pale and stammers "Th-th-th-the b-b-bush. S-so-some-something's th-th-there. I don't even know wh-wh-what it is." This officially scares me, since nothing scares Toph. We look and see the most expecting and most unexpecting thing. We see a spirit.

Zuko's POV:

"Zu-zu, I KNOW THEY'RE NOT IN THE FIRE NATION. Now can I go with my friends for a little road trip?" Ugh. I hate it when Azula does these kinds of things. It's so annoying. "Azula, I know you know something I don't know. Spill it." She puts on this innocent look, which kind of looks scary."Ugh. I'm coming with you. No flex in this one, I'm coming with you." She smirks, which looks natural on her. "Come along then Zu-zu. Ty Lee and Mai are coming to. Not too much people, right? We go by the Air Balloon. This will be like hide and seek. We don't want to be seen, so that means that means we travel part of the way, then travel by foot. Zu-zu, you stay and guard the balloon. The rest find proper shelter. Doesn't that sound fun?" I think. She's trying to make me back out, but I'm way ahead of her. "Azula! Perfect plan. Let me bring some books too, just in case!" I really mean that. I leave, then come with a handful of books. "Like I said, just in case!"

Katara's POV:

This is no normal spirit. Wait, not normal, but…this one seems different. What am I saying? This is the only spirit I've ever seen! I look at Aang, and he looks perfectly calm. He then starts to talk to her. "Oh spirit! Have we disturbed you?" It looks at us, then speaks. "I am the spirit of this forest, Acrynellia. I am also known as the Spirit of Creation. I am not stupid, as I can easily tell you are the Avatar, the bridge between the spirit and mortal world. Why have you come here?" "We have come here to find the rare yellow coconut. Do you know where it is?" She has this look, as if she's thinking. "How do you know about this? I've just recently made the coconut you speak of. I ask again, how did you obtain that piece of information?" This time, Sokka runs his big mouth. "Oh big and great spirit! Some girl from the Earth Kingdom named Annalisa has the secret to hiding, as if you've vanished. But, she won't tell us unless we give her this rare coconut." Her expression is immediate. "Fools! How do you know she will keep her promise? As the creator of humans, which of course I have created, I know their personalities. Heck with that, I know their SECRETS! This Annalisa girl, she is a definite liar. Yet she's sneaky, and extremely cunning. Obviously she MUST be part fortune-teller, for she can see the new fruit I make. This coconut is EXTREMLY valuable, for it- wait, are you worthy of this knowledge?" We exchange looks, then Toph says "Of course we are! We're Team Avatar! We're worthy of ANYTHING!" Acrynellia gives us a look, then says "Meer words do not impress me, nor convince me. Prove it to me. The ultimate test is for you all. As a group, name one thing that is the mother of all treasures. One thing and one thing ONLY. Go now. You have 30 minutes." We leave, and here's the first thing that pops into mind: love.

Azula's POV:

This will not be as easy as I thought. My brother Zu-zu persists to be on my mission to capture the Avatar. Yes, he's still alive. And I want to catch him, and kill him. My next problem is his STUPID Avatar cycle. I'll deal with that later. I just have to get rid of Zuko…

"Azula! Where should we land? Mai and Zuko are getting…er… impatient!" "Land here Ty Lee. This place is perfect." We're at the Forest of Mystery. Where the new creations, animals and objects blossom. And that's where Aang and his useless friends are. "Zu-zu, time for you to guard the balloon. We'll be back later. And one more thing: DON'T TRY TO FOLLOW US. You'll regret it. Ta ta!"

Aang's POV:

This will be tougher than I expected. Toph has this weird look, Sokka is playing with his boomerang, and Katara…has an idea."Katara, what's your idea? I know you have one." She blushes, then says "Oh, well it's not logical, but I was thinking that it could be-" "I'VE GOT IT! IT'S MEAT! Doesn't it make sense? Hm? Hmmmmm?" We stare at him, and Toph says "Sokka, did you drink anymore cactus juice? 'Cause seriously, not even the dumbest person on the world would say that. Or maybe he's here with us. I never know the difference." He makes a mad face at her, but you can tell she doesn't care. "Okay, Katara, you were saying?" "Thanks Aang. Anyways, I was saying, it could be-" "Azula! She's coming! Two girls are with her too! Quickly, hide!" Toph says. They hide in the tree tops, and Toph hides in a nearby bush. And just in time too. Three girls rush here. They look around, and Toph is trying to earthbend at them, but they're too far. Then Azula burns the bush Toph's in.

Ty Lee's POV:

I look around, trying to find any sign of the Avatar, or his friends. Then, Azula burns a random bush. But that's not a random bush, which has…"MAI! TY LEE! They're here! Look around! I think I've found something." I look around, then I stop. I remember an old combat quote: If you're looking for someone, the best thing to do is listen. I listen, and hear branches rustle. Not on the ground, but in the air. I look up to see the Avatar and his friends. Before I could cry out, Azula cries out "Help! This dirt peasant made me stuck in this pile of filth! Attack!" "Azula! Mai! They're hiding in the-"Before I could finish, we heard a YAAAAAAA! Then they ambushed us. The cute guy goes for Mai, and the Avatar goes for me. I dodge him, and the waterbender comes for me too, and I dodge them. I head straight for them, and fall into a trap. Literally, the earth beneath my feet slips and I'm stuck. Mai is still fighting that guy, with his silly little boomerang. Azula is stuck, just like me. Then Mai gets stuck too. "Quick, run! Someone else is coming!" The team runs away, when Zuko approaches." Couldn't of come any sooner, you filthy little maggot!" "Azula, now's not the time. If Zuko didn't come, you, Mai and I would STILL be here. Come and get us out." He got us out, then Azula said "Don't worry on how we got in this state." I'm pretty sure he'll still ask. Then I feel weird, like I lost something. Then I remember the necklace my mother gave me to make me feel more comfortable. When I reach for my lapis lazuli necklace, when I then notice it's gone." Guys, my necklace is gone!" Scoffing, Azula says "Ty Lee, I expected you to be happy to lose that hideous necklace! The colour's horrible, and from your disgusting mother. I would relieved to lose that thing that claims it's a necklace." "It's not any normal necklace. It has spiritual powers. That's how I learned to Chi Block."

Katara's POV

"You're welcome." We all stare at her, and she says "What? I just saved you to. And-" "Guys, shouldn't we solve that question? What IS the mother of all treasures? Toph? Katara? Aang? ANYONE?" "Sokka! Really? Toph was going to say something!" My brother is SO annoying. Just then, Acrynellia comes back. "Well? Have you got the answer?" We all gulp, then out of nowhere, we hear yelling. "Who dares-"and she left. We follow her, and we see bursts of flame. The conversations get clearer, and we hear Azula shouting. "TY LEE! HOW COULD YOU? IF THAT GIVES YOU-" "Azula! Look!" They look, and they see us. But they're not focused on us. They're focused on the giant spirit, towering above them. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU DARE SHOW YOUR FACES IN MY FOREST, TO DESTROY IT! I CREATED YOU, AND YOU TRY TO DESTROY MY HOME? YOU ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT I'M NOT IN A KILLING MOOD. I'M IN A TESTY MOOD. YOU MUST PROVE TO ME YOU'RE WORHT STAYING HERE. STAND IN FRONT OF ME." Mai goes first. "HM. TRICKY ONE. VERY TRICKY INDEED…. I BELIEVE YOU ARE WORTHY. NEXT." Ty Lee goes up. "HA! YOU ARE DEFINETLY WORTHY. FIX YOUR ROUTE." Zuko goes up. "YOU GUYS ARE TOO EASY. THIS ONE'S WORTHY." Azula goes up. "OH MY GOSH. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE LIKE YOU! GET OUT! NOW!" She gets flung away, and the trio chases her. Then Azula did it. She took Toph away.

Toph's POV

I didn't have a chance. When she was in mid-air, she grabbed my hand and pulled me away. We're in mid-air, and I can't see a thing. We finally land, when I'm about to touch ground, is when somehow I get pinned. "Little dirt peasant likes to get people stuck, huh? Well, we're going to have a little fun." "You want fun? Release me so I can wipe that stupid grin off your face!" "I'm not grinning, I'm smirking. There's a difference. But then again, you're so stupid; your eyes don't even know how to function AT ALL. What a disappointment to humans. Bet your mother tossed you to that filthy gang because you were so ugly and stupid-" "AAARRRRGHHHH!" I try to earthbend at her, but she laughs and says "HA! You missed by 10 metres, no wait, 10 MILES! You call yourself an earthbender? Why-"Then she stops. "Hey, why'd you stop insulting me? It was music to my ears! Are you now scared of-" "Shut up, shut up now." She whispers this, and I can hear the fear in her voice. Some voice is talking, and the problem is I can't recognize it. "Who are you? Why have you pinned up a fellow comrade? Are you disgracing the Spirit of Creation? Answer me!" I hear someone stammer an answer, but in a very dull voice. "Well, your…err… sliminess, this girl earthbended to-" "TO PROTECT HERSELF AND HER FRIENDS! I can smell the truth and lies from miles. No one can fool me." "Want to bet?" Azula said that. "You girl! Fine, let's bet. You shall tell me something. Either the truth, or lies. Let's start. Go on, tell me. If I win, you all leave. If you win, I will give you all a gift. Anything you want. Except you, blind girl, for you are not with the group." "Zuko, Mai, Ty Lee, not a word. Go away, if you'll make a face of recognition." I heard footsteps, so they probably left. "Back to our discussion. My mother was at a poor village, then she moved to the Fire Nation. My father saw her walking around the merchants carts, and immediately proposed. They soon got wed, then we came along." That sounds true. Yet again…what if it's not? No, it has to be true. "Little girl, you gave me such an easy one. Yet you…you are a very good liar! You almost had me fooled! Yet, you mixed it up. That's a lie. Your mother was born in a poor village, but that's not how she met your father. He actually-" "MEE-CHEE-GOO! Get over here!" That sounded like Acrynellia. Then, I hear more footsteps. "Hello? Anyone there? Moo-chee-goo? Aang? Katara? Sokka? ANYONE?" Now I'm totally alone. "Come with me, blind girl." It was Moo-chee-goo. I feel alittle sick, since I'm in the air, and I feel something weird, like not like Appa, yet not like and alligator snake either. It's….like a warp headed frog. What's the word…oh yes! Slimy! That's the one, I remember a friend saying that when we both touched a warp headed frog. I try to think of nice good, solid ground, and that's when I fall onto it. I can see again! Well, not really, but still, it's better than nothing. Katara, Aang and Sokka are here, and so is Acrynellia. "You girl. Come here. The blind one. " I go up, and I'm really nervous. "That beast will regret that stupid and senseless move. As for my apologies, you get one wish. Then I'll deal with the question." One wish for me. I can ask for the gift of sight. I can finally see Twinkle Toes, Sokka, Katara, EVERYONE. But then…there's the question. I could wish for the answer to come to me. But which do I chose?
