Author's Note: This is set in the Fairy Tail universe, with Fairy Tail physics. This means that no one will be in danger of dying, but it also means I get to throw more at the Gaang, since they can take it. (evil laugh) Anyway, the Gaang is pulled from about a year after the A:TLA finale, and Fairy Tail is from just before the whole Tenrou Island deal would happen (since the Gaang shows up that plan's shot. But this is an AU so I can do that.) Please tell me if you think anyone's out of character, since it's been a while since i've watched any A:TLA. Except Zuko. He's supposed to be a little... different. You'll find out later. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions because I didn't make something clear, ask and I'll fix it, 'cause that's my failing as an author.

Chapter One

It was quite the eclectic group that came walking over the hill, getting their first sighting of the city. A thirteen-year-old with the power of a god, a disinherited prizefighter pre-debutante, a master healer with the power to control people's very bodies, her gluttonous clown of a brother, his kick-ass girlfriend, a Goth ninja, an air-headed gymnast, a ruler of a nation, and a happy, tea-loving military genius.

"Well, there it is. Magnolia City. It's quite a sight, isn't it, Prince Zuko?" the tea enthusiast energetically declared.

"It's Fire Lord now, Uncle. And it certainly is quite different form the cities that we're used to, right, Katara?" Zuko turned to the blue-clad healing master.

"After growing up in a cluster of huts made out of snow, just about anything is going to be very new," Katara replied.

"Aw, come on, Katara, don't be such a wet blanket!" Sokka got nothing but blank looks from his audience. "Get it? Wet blanket! Cause she's a waterbender!" He laughed at his own joke while everyone else just stared at him.

"Hey, Sokka. Are you hungry?" Suki asked, putting a hand on his arm and waving a piece of meat in front of his face. Sokka eagerly grabbed it and shoved it in his mouth.

Suddenly, there was loud laughing. "Oh, I get it now, Sokka! Hahahaha!" The entire group swiveled and looked oddly at Aang, who was still doubled over in laughter.

"Geez, Twinkletoes. Slow on the uptake much?" Toph aimed a punch at Aang.

"You know, Toph, I'm amazed at your aim. You never, ever miss, even though you're blind. It's really cool!" Ty Lee exclaimed while casually flipping and walking on her hands.

"Come on, Ty Lee. We all know that Toph can sense vibrations through her feet. And I don't know why you and I came on this stupid trip, anyway. It's not like this is gonig to be anything but boring," Mai said with a sigh.

"All right, guys! Let's get to this Fairy Tail place so we can find out where we can put Appa and Momo! Let's go, everybody, hurry! Come on!" Aang chirped.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice cut the air. "Did you say you were looking for Fairy Tail?"

The whole group whirled to find another group of people that had snuck up behind them while they had been distracted. Zuko quickly surveyed the newcomers. There was a crimson-haired woman in a breastplate and skirt, an energetic pink-haired boy with a blue cat-thing on his shoulder, a shirtless man with an emblem of a sword around his neck, a blonde bombshell with a whip and a ring of keys, two blue-haired girls, one with short hair and a headband, the other much younger with long hair in pigtails, a man with brown hair in a cape, and a menacing brute with long black hair and metal studs for eyebrows. Something struck him as odd about the group, and then Zuko realized what it was. Every one of them had an odd bird-like symbol, though each had it in a different color.

The old man stepped forward and beamed. "Yes, we are looking for Fairy Tail. Could you help us? We're not from around here, as you can see, so we don't know where to go," he said, still smiling broadly.

"Why have you traveled so far to find the Fairy Tail guild?" challenged the red-haired woman.

"Yeah, what do you want with us?!" the pink-haired boy yelled, waving his arms excitedly, before he was struck by a flurry of fists from his apparent friends.

"Oh, are you from Fairy Tail? We should introduce ourselves, then. I am Iroh, sometimes called the Dragon of the West." The pink-haired boy made as if to say something, but was quickly punched in the gut. "The young man with the blue arrows is Avatar Aang." Aang grinned broadly. "The man next to him eating is Sokka, and the young woman with her arm around Sokka is called Suki." Sokka waved his boomerang at the Fairy Tail members by way of greeting, before Suki elbowed him in the ribs and smiled at them. "The solid-looking girl is Toph, the delightful young woman standing on her hands is Ty Lee, and this dour-looking young woman is Mai." The women waved a hand, giggled, and shrugged, respectively. "And finally, this beautiful young woman is Katara, and the man with the scar is my nephew, Fire Lord Zuko." Katara smiled and waved, and Zuko nodded.

The man in the cape walked forward, disregarding the red-haired woman's objections. "Well, since you did us the courtesy of introducing yourselves, we should probably do the same. I am Gildarts. This crimson-haired woman is Erza Scarlet." Erza reluctantly waved. "That brash young man is Natsu Dragneel, and his companion is Happy." Natsu snorted, and Happy waved energetically. "The shirtless kid is Gray Fullbuster, and this is Lucy Heartfilia." Gray nodded, and Lucy smiled. "The blue-haired girls are Levy McGarden and Wendy." Both girls smiled shyly. "And last but not least, that dark man is Gajeel Redfox." Gajeel just looked at the travelers unflinchingly. "But Natsu's question still stands. Why are you looking for us?"

Iroh smiled. "We just have heard a lot of things about you all, and we wanted to see you for ourselves!"

Natsu burst out and yelled, "Well I don't trust you! I challenge one of you to a fight!"

Gildarts started to chastise Natsu, but Zuko interrupted him. "I accept." He looked at Iroh. "I'll humor him. Trust me."
