A Glimpse into the Future

An Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfiction by Copper Thrice

Hey, this is Copper,

These are just a few scenes of what I guess is going to happen in future episodes of Avatar. When I say future I mean that I have only seen up to book three, chapter thirteen.

Soooooooo… If I'm wrong, please don't rant at me and I apologize if some scenes seem a little Zutara, but hey, the writers of Avatar are gonna milk Zutara fans for all their worth now that Zuko has joined the crew. Anyway, rant's over, let's get these scenes started with scene 1: The New Guy. Enjoy!


It has been almost two days since Aang and Zuko retunred to the Air Temple with their new knowledge on Firebending. Aang was practicing his skills under the watchful eye of his new instructor, his former enemy, Zuko.

Katara and her brother, Sokka, walked in as Zuko was demonstrating a complicated attack to his young charge.

"Food's ready!" said an excited Sokka, "You two Jerk-benders ready to eat yet?" Sokka chuckled at his own poor joke, "Get, it, Katara?"

"Yeah, I got it and it wasn't funny the first time," Said Katara as she set down a bowl of soup, "Or the second or the third or the tenth…"

"Sweet, food's up!" said a blind Earthbender named Toph now entering the area. She sat down, awaiting her portion.

As the crew sat down around the pot, Zuko took his bowl, scooped some soup and left to a section of the Temple where he had set up has his room.

"Good riddance," Katara muttered as he left.

"Yeah, I know," said Sokka then he noticed something, "Hey, where's Haru and the others?"

"There in the caves, exploring," Toph said holding out her bowl. Katara used waterbending to scoop some soup and place it in her bowl.

Aang sighed as he got his soup, sat down and began to eat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zuko sat down in his room and began to eat some soup. As he swallowed a bite he looked toward his door.

Maybe I should eat with them, He thought. Then he shook his head and took in a new bite. They wouldn't want me there. At least not the water-tribe siblings…

Oh, he thought, looking at his pack, I forgot to unpack after the visit with the Dragons.

Zuko put down his bowl and walked to his pack. He opened it and stared at the contents with wide eyes.

"Hey, Zuko!" yelled Aang as he entered the room, "There's some bread ready. What'cha got th---" Aang stared at the item in the pack. "Uhm, Zuko how did you get this? Did you steal it?"

"No," yelled Zuko defensively, "I didn't--- I wouldn't---!"

"What's the commotion?" said Toph who was followed by Katara and Sokka.

Aang plucked the object from Zuko's pack, "I think he stole this!"

In Aang's hands was a large golden, egg-shaped object that was the treasure of the Fire-Bender tribe they had recently visited.

"Tch, big surprise," said Katara crossing her arms.

"What is it?" asked Toph. (She can't see it)

"How could you steal that?" asked Sokka.

"Hey, what is it?" asked Toph again.

"Seriously, what was going through your mind?" asked Aang.

"WHAT IS IT?" asked Toph angrily.

"Listen," said Zuko, "this isn't my fault!" He grabbed the egg from Aang's hand. Then he suddenly just stared at it, his mouth hung open in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Aang asked.

"Let me feel it." Toph stepped forward and put her hand on the object. "Uhm, This ain't a rock, guys, it's a ---" Suddenly the egg cracked.

Everyone except Zuko (who was holding it) backed away from it. Quickly the egg cracked even more until it shattered. Gold-colored glop flowed all over Zuko's clothes and some got on his face around his scar. In his hands, amonst the remains of the egg was a small, dragon with purple scales.

"Wh-what," Zuko stammered. The dragon lifted its slim head and uncoiled itself, its scales glimmering in the limited sunlight.

It lifted on its hind legs and licked Zuko's scar, gathering the glop on his face.

"Woah," said Aang, "Looks like we got another new guy."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's one guess I have for the future of Avatar. I mean, seriously, Zuko picks up the egg in an episode and says, 'It feels almost… alive!'… Yeesh, how's that for foreshadowing?

More later if you like 'em readers. Please Review! Oh, and the next chapter is on Azula.
