Freddie and Sam were walking down the sidewalk, with Carly in the middle to keep them from fighting. As they were nearing the arcade, they noticed a tiny videogame shop that was definitely not there before.
"Maybe it's a new store?" Freddie suggested.
"State the obvious." Sam said.
"Shut up. Both of you. Come on! Let's go check it out!" Carly said. The three entered the shop.
The shop was a normal sized room, with posters of various videogame characters covering the wall. There were magazines, game consoles, cheat-guides, and any other item a gamer could wish for. However, on the shelf sat only a single game. There was no title, only a white cover with a brief description:
In the world of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, a single man will arise from the rest in an attempt to conquer the world. In a desperate attempt to stop him, join the Century-Old Child, The Seer of Earth, The Moon-Kissed Wolf, The Shar of the South, The Scarred Prince, and the Dragon of the West to help overthrow the corrupt King and bring peace to the world. Along the way, you will encounter new friends, new enemies, and new creatures. An exciting adventure is waiting for you to come!
Freddie read the entire summary aloud. "Intersting…" He said, while flipping the case around. But there was absolutely nothing on it except for those words. "What's this about?" He asked aloud.
The question was directed towards Carly and Sam, but a mysterious voice behind him answered. "So you saw my shop…did you?" An old man stepped out of a door.
He had the image of an old man with a long, gray beard. However, you could tell that he had the strength to pounce a football player and win.
"Yes…so? Anyone can, right?" Sam asked, confused.
The man smiled a knowing smile, and gestured out the window. The eyes of the shoppers glanced from the nail parlor on the right to the music store on the left.
"What's going on here?" Carly asked, obviously panicking. She took a step back, as did Sam. But Freddie stood there.
"Why are we the only ones who can see this place?" He asked.
"Because I believe you have the properties I have been searching for…for a hundred years." The old man replied.
"A hundred years? You can't possible be that old. No offence or anything…" Sam said obnoxiously.
"I died…oh, lets say about a Century ago." The old man smiled.
"Okay. This is creepy. Let's go." Carly turned on her heels and was about the run out the room. But under the rocky floor suddenly rose the old man, blocking her way.
"Not yet. I believe I have some explaining to do." He said. "Oh dear, is this going to be complicated…"

Aang looked around the port city of Shian. The others were looking over the repairs of their captured Fire Nation ship. He was supposed to be buying supplies, but Sokka and Toph came with in case of an emergency.
"There's nothing here…" Aang asked confusedly. Where's all the food?" He asked.
Toph pointed straight ahead. "There's some fruit there."
True to the blind girl's word, there was in fact a fruit stand with a vendor selling pears and apples.
Aang hurriedly ran up to the vendor and bought as much fruit as he could carry. They started their slow trek back to the ship. They did, however miss the figure of a girl jumping across the rooftops…stalking them.

The old man had led the three-some to a room behind the shop, where there was a simple stool and a TV, hooked up to an X-Cube. The old man opened the game case and slipped the CD into the console.
"Before I do any explaining…check out the game. It's quite fun." He said.
Freddie and Sam quickly grabbed the controllers, but Carly was quite hesitant. Yet, due to Freddie and Sam's bickering over whom should get P-1, she jumped in and said, "None of you will be P-1. I will." She then proceeded to snatch the controller from the bickering couple.
The old man had a smile of triumph. He slowly leaned over and pushed the "Power" button.

Aang and the gang returned to find the ship in perfect condition.
Katara ran up to them and said, "Glad to see you're all okay."
Sokka set up a pose and said, "No Fire Nation soldiers can get the better of me."
"A Fire Nation soldier who happened to be walking by chuckled. "Well, new recruit. You happen to be one, so you'd better practice on not killing yourself first."
Sokka turned bright red. "I-uh…"
Aang grabbed Sokka and pulled him on the ship. "Don't worry…we'll help him! He told the soldier."
"Wait!" The soldier cried out. "I knew I recognized you! Wait! Take me with you!" He yelled out.
"Why?" Sokka asked.
"Don't you remember me?" He took off the mask, and there was the face of the 60-year-old Shyu. (A/N: In case you don't remember, Shyu is the Fire Sage who helped Aang in the Avatar Temple in the Fire Nation during the Winter Solstice.)

Carly, Sam, and Freddie all felt a jerk in their naval, like that described in Harry Potter when a portkey was concerned. They all fell down and landed hard, on the rocky ground. They stood up and studied their surroundings.
Well, obviously, they were in a forest. But what else?
"I knew that that guy was a little wacko. But this???" Carly yelled.
"Quite unbelievable, yes." The spirit of Avatar Roku (aka the old man) appeared.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Sam and Freddie asked.
"Now that there is no chance of you running away. I have a story to tell you. I suggest you sit down and listen…as you will not be going anywhere for a while."
Okay, so I know that was a little weird. I don't think I'm going to write another Avatar Cross-over, but I needed a good idea for an Avatar Adventure story…and all the good ideas have been taken. So I settled for this. I hope you enjoy this!
