"You're shipping me off to the Fire Nation Colonies?" Katalina Palmer exclaimed. "No! You have got to be kidding me?" She was outraged. "This is ridiculous! You really can't stand me that much?"

"You're a nuisance," Mrs. Palmer responded.

"This war is a nuisance!"

"This war will be over soon and Fire Lord Ozai will reign over the entire world," Mr. Palmer declared.

Katalina shook her head in disbelief. "You're disowning me?"

"You make this family look bad," Mrs. Palmer stated. "We have no other choice."

"Ever since I was ten you've ignored me and now the first time you two acknowledge me in years you're telling me that you're getting rid of me," she clarified. "And I'm the bad child? Whereas you two aren't being awful parents?"

"Do not disrespect us," Mr. Palmer warned.

"What are you gonna do? Burn me? You can't! I'm the only bender in this family."

"And you had so much potential," Mrs. Palmer said. "But you chose to throw it away in attempts to end the war on the Avatar's side."

"This is ridiculous!" Katalina repeated. "What the hell am I supposed to do in the Fire Nation colonies?"

"You can figure that out for yourself once you get there," Mr. Palmer replied. "As of this evening, you're no longer our business."

"I have to be gone by tonight?"

"Fire Lord Ozai wants you gone as soon as possible," he told her.

She rolled her eyes. "Of course he does."

"Just think of it this way," Mrs. Palmer began, "this is one more thing you now have in common with your best friend."

Katalina's face darkened. "You know what? I'll be better off in the Colonies. I'll be better off in Ba Sing Se. I'll be better off away from you two and this hellhole. At least in Ba Sing Se I'll be able to make a difference. I'll have followers and people who'll want to help me fight against the Fire Nation."

Both of her parents laughed in her face.

"If you think anyone will be brave enough to stand against the Fire Nation then you're more naïve than we thought," Mrs. Palmer said.

"And you're naïve to think that Ozai has a chance at winning this war. Actually, I'd say that transcends over to ignorance."

"Get out," Mr. Palmer suddenly demanded with a low voice. "You are no longer welcome here."

"Didn't realise I was ever welcome to begin with," she said back. She then exited the house that was never a home to her. "Good riddance."
