WARNING: If you are confused at all, refer to the Authors note at the bottom. Everyone will be as in-character as I can manage. Wish me luck.

Me: So where IS Ursa?

Zuko: I donno.

Me: We should look for her!

Katara: Excuse me?

Me: Yeah! We could all just hop into the Avatar world via my T.V-

Ozai: You broke the T.V

Toph: And then she bought a new one, duh.

Ozai: What? When?

Mai: You really think a hardcore Avatar watcher would miss every re-run of Avatar? She bought one ages ago.

Azula: So we've been sitting around here acting all out of character and we could go back at any time?

Aang: Pretty much.

Me: Can I continue?

All: What? Oh, sorry.

Me: As I was saying; we could jump into the Avatar world, find Ursa and bring her here!

Sokka: Good luck.

Me: ALL of us are going.

Noah, Greg and Author: Even us?

Me: No but Jet can come.

Jet: Nooooooothanks.

Azula: Don't make me go alone!

Jet: Sorry, babe, but you'll be in-character and probably hate me.

Azula: True.

Zuko: (sniff) You guys would really help me find mommy?

Aang: I would!

Katara: Me too!

Ty-Lee: Sounds like fun!

Toph: I'd help.

Iroh: I'll follow you anywhere, Zuko!

Mai: Hell no.

Azula: Hasn't mom been here a few times?

Me: Yeah but if we find her in your world, it'll answer all my questions! Plus, she'll be in-character.

Ozai: I'm not going.

Zuko: Yes you are. You're the only one who knows where she might be!

Me: Besides, if I leave you here alone…I don't even wanna THINK about it…

Author: So you're all leaving my story? (sniff)

Me: Yep.

Author: Ugh, fine.

Zuko: Are we all in for 'Operation: Find Banished Mom'?

Aang, Katara, Iroh, Sokka, Ty-Lee, Me and Toph: YEAH!

Mai, Azula and Ozai: Fine…

Me: Alright! (runs to living room and grabs T.V)

Sokka: (picks up T.V) So how's it, um…how's it work?

Me: (grabs back) Well… (hits T.V and it turns on) Its set to after Zuko became Fire Lord-

Zuko: (pokes Ozai) Owned.

Me: And you're all in Ba-Sing-Se. All we don't know is where we'll end up. Everyone, go pack up stuff and I'll figure out money- (everyone runs pass her and into T.V.) GUYS? NOO! You didn't- you just- why couldn't- Grrr… (grabs a few things from everyone's rooms and runs into T.V) Why does it feel like I'm falling? This feels so weird…

Something was chirping in Kimono's ear. She groaned and rolled over, swatting at her ear. "Go away, Katara…" She muttered sleepily. When fingers met feather instead of human flesh, however, Kimono opened her eyes. Greeting her was a bright sun, green grass, tree trunks and-

Red and blue feathers.

She screamed. The bird-thing jumped off her ear, cocked its head and took off into the sky. Kimono, meanwhile, had sat up and now looked around wildly. She stood up. "Zuko?" She called. "Aang? Katara? Sokka?…Toph?" Where was everybody? She looked up at the sky.

The way the sun beat down on her, Kimono decided that it had to be mid-day…probably. She gathered up what information she knew of the Avatar world and tried to think of where she could be. She sniffed the air. It wasn't salty so it was a safe bet that she wasn't near ocean. She looked up at the tree next to her. Could she climb it? If she could get up high enough, she could see her surroundings. The lowest branch was at her chest so… Worth a try. She thought.

She had only gone up five yards when her eyes caught sight of something yellow. "Aang? Is that you?" She asked the yellow spot. Kimono pulled back a branch as saw-

"AANG! It is you!" Kimono smiled victoriously before realizing her friend was lying across a branch, staff in hand, and apparently unconscious. "Wonderful." She said to herself. She broke off a small branch and poked the Avatar in the cheek with it. "Aang, wake up!" No reaction. "Dude!" Nothing. Kimono was starting to panic. What if something was wrong with him? More importantly… Kimono looked down. How was she supposed to get out of the tree? Going up trees is fun but… She gulped.

"Aang," She tried for a third time, "Come on…I wanna get down…" As luck would have it, the branch she had been leaning on snapped and, predictable, she fell.

For a second time that day, Kimono screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAANNNNNG!" She fell a few feet, bracing herself for impacted with hard earth when something grabbed her ankle leaving her dangling a foot from the ground. She looked up at the fingers clasped around her ankle. "Hello." Kimono said, surprised.

Aang smiled at her from the branch. "You know you can't climb trees, Kimono." Normally, Kimono would have had a witty remark to fire back but everyone knows not to insult a person who is the only thing keeping you from falling on your head.

"Can I get down now?" She said instead. The blonde immediately wished she had retorted as Aang smiled toothily and let go. Kimono was dropped to the ground and landed with a loud "OW!" as the dirt floor rushed up to meet her. She landed on her back and watched, glaring daggers all the while, as Aang floated gracefully from the tree.

Kimono got to her feet and turned to the Avatar. "Where is everyone? More importantly; where's Ozai? People'll get suspicious if they see the Ex- Fire Lord randomly walking around in…Hey, where are we?" Aang gave a helpful shrug. "You're the one who lives here!"

"Well, it's your T.V! How should I know where it spat us out?"

"Ok, then…" Kimono looked up at the sky and modified her original plan. "Fly around up there and see if you can find a town or a landmark or something." Leaving the teen behind with nothing but wind swept hair, Aang twirled open his guider and flew off into the sky. Kimono watched him go and then began gathering the things she had brought from her world, which had somehow become scared around the clearing.

After a few minutes of Aang not reappearing, Kimono started to feel jumpy. She had never been one for crawly things or things that can jump out and scare you or animals that could kill an unsuspecting human without effort. Imagine how high said scaredy-cat jumped when she heard something rustled across the small clearing. "Hello? Furry creature?" Kimono backed up until her back was pressed up against the tree she had found Aang in. She tried and failed to mask the fear and panic she felt setting in. "Please don't run in and scare me…" She half whimpered, half plead. Suddenly, something jumped out of the bushes and Kimono screamed, hiding pitifully behind the swords she had grabbed from the house.

"I told you I heard someone over here." Kimono looked up and, to her relief, saw Azula standing in the middle of the clearing, Katara close behind.

"You ok, Kimono? You looked spooked." Katara asked with a raised eyebrow.

"And was that you screaming?" Azula added. "What's so scary about a measly forest?"

"Nice to see you too, Azula." Kimono's next question was directed to a much friendlier Katara. "Do you know where we are?"

Katara shook her head, "We were trying to figure that out when we heard you yelling."

"And I don't suppose you've found anyone else?" A predictable headshake from the two girls was her only answer. "Great."

"Have you found anyone?"

Kimono nodded and pointed skyward. "I told Aang to fly around and search for-" Before she could finish, a yellow blur landed with a "KATARA!" As the dust cleared, Aang stood in front of them, beaming at Katara…right about where Azula had been standing.

"I'm glad you guys are here! While I was up there I saw-"

"Muff! Gef oof mu!"

Aang looked down. "Oh, hey Azula, did you say something?" Aang was standing on Azula's back with the fire princess's face pressed into the dirt. She picked her head up slightly.

"I said; GET OFF ME BEFORE I INCINERATE YOU!" Azula yelled, blue flames dancing around her hands. Aang immediately jumped off her and flinched when she glared at him.

Katara picked up one of Mai's knifes from where it had fallen on the other side of the clearing. "I thought Mai kept all her knifes with her?"

"She can't carry them all. She owns too many." Azula explained after wiping dirt from her person.

"So why is this here?"

"I don't know how to fight too good so I grabbed a spare knife from Mai's room to use." Kimono said, taking the weapon from Katara.

"What can you do with a knife? Do you know how to use it like Mai?" Aang raised his eyebrow questioningly.

"If something happens, I can just stab whoever's got me and scream to you guys for help."

"That could work. We all know how good you are at screaming." The three benders laughed at Azula's comment as Kimono glared and stuffed the knife away.

"What else did you bring?" Aang asked after he and the girls had calmed down.

It was at this point Kimono noticed everyone's clothing. Azula wore armor exactly like what she had worn at the Agni Kai in the season three finale. Katara was wearing her traditional Water Tribe outfit and Aang wore what he had been wearing in Ba-Sing-Se; complete with Monk Gyatso's old necklace. "How did you guys get back in your usual garb?" Kimono asked.

Katara looked down at herself and shrugged. "When Azula and I woke up we were in these clothes."

"I'm not complaining." Azula said. "I like my armor better than the t-shirts and jeans you had us wearing in your world." Kimono glared at her. Before any other comments could be said about their attire, the ground started to shake under them.

"What's going on?" Katara looked around, panic noticeable in her voice.

"Earthquake?" Aang suggested.

"It could be a nearby volcanic eruption…" Azula thought out loud.

"I don't like the sound of either!" Kimono ducked behind Azula, biting her bottom lip as her eyes darted back and forth around the clearing. Just then, a great rock wall came rushing into the clearing and dissolved into the earth below, leaving a cloud of dust for the four teenagers to choke on.

"Katara!" A new voice yelled. Through the dust, Kimono saw the silhouette of someone running to Katara and pulling her into a hug. Aang's wits must have returned about then because a gust of wind swept over them all to reveal-

"Katara! I'm so glad you're safe! Are you alright?"

"Playing the role of 'overprotective brother', Sokka?" Kimono's head wiped around to find Toph standing exactly where the wall had disappeared, clapping dirt from her hands. "It feels so good to be able to Earthbend without ruining anything!"

Azula was the first to ask. "So it was you making all that noise?"

"You guys started it." Toph remarked casually. "I heard you guys yelling a mile off." Katara, Aang and Azula turned and glared at Kimono. The blonde blinked innocently.

"Hey! My boomerang! I thought I left it back at the house!" All eyes turned to Sokka as he held the weapon fondly in his hands.

"I grabbed a bunch of things before I left." Kimono said. "Also that." She added, pointing at Sokka's meteor sword as he picked it up. He rubbed the sheath against his cheek fondly before slinging it over his back.

"Did you bring any food?" Sokka asked eagerly

Toph rolled her eyes, "Figures you'd ask that." Before Sokka could reply, something pink jumped from a tree and landed on Azula.

"We found you!" Ty-Lee yelled in delight, unaware that her knees were digging painfully into her friend's back.

"I told you to wait for me, Ty-Lee." Mai said as she entered the clearing from the same direction Ty-Lee had come from. Her voice was monotone but a small smile of relief lit her face.

Ty-Lee smiled wide and jumped off Azula to hug everyone in the clearing one at a time, all the while gushing about how happy she was to be 'home'.

Her arms still around Sokka, Ty-Lee turned her head to the rest of the group. "Who's missing?"

Everyone looked around. "I think it's just Zuko, Iroh and Ozai, right?" Katara said.

Aang's eyes suddenly became wide. "Oh yeah! I meant to tell you!" All eyes turned to the Avatar, "When I flew up to look around I saw them nearby!"

"Which way?" Ty-Lee asked excitedly, letting go of Sokka and jumping on the balls of her feet.

"Um…" Aang looked around uncertainly.

Mai noticed this. "You have no idea, do you?"

Just then there was a rustling in the bushes behind them. Everyone turned; ready to attack, when Ozai stomped out.

Kimono, who had chosen Mai to be her protected for the 'attack' stepped out from behind the girl and approached the fuming Ozai with a smile.

"Glad you found us!" She proclaimed happily, "I brought a cloak from my house so we can cover you up since-"

Ozai grabbed the front of the teen's shirt and pulled her up to his face. "Do you have a problem with the way I'm dressed?" He hissed, glaring murder at her.

No one, with the obvious exception to Kimono, paid attention to the unspoken threat and instead assessed the Ex-Fire Lord's clothing. To everyone's, except for Azula's, amusement, he was dressed in his prison clothes from the end of season 3.

Sokka pointed a finger at him. "Loser Lord!" he laughed

Ozai immediately threw Kimono aside and stomped towards the boy, anger flashing in his eyes-

"Stop!" Aang jumped between the two, putting up his hands and glaring back and forth at them. "We have more important things to do then worry about how we're dressed."

"Quiet, Avatar!" Ozai snapped, "This is about him-" he pointed at Sokka who had pulled out his trusty boomerang, "insulting me! So move away or I will make you."

Aang did not back down, his role of peacekeeper making him stand his ground. There was a tense moment where Avatar and ex-Fire Lord glared at one another, the others watching intently.

"Wait! Ozai, wait!" Everyone, including Sokka, Aang, Ozai and the now-dazed-on-the-ground Kimono, looked up toward the path Ozai had just come from. Zuko, followed closely by Iroh, stepped out. Both looked like they were holding back laughter and, at the sight of Ozai, Zuko gave in, falling to the ground beside Kimono and laughing hysterically.

"Ozai!" Iroh said, letting loose a chuckle, "We're sorry! We didn't mean to-"

"I know exactly what you meant, you little-"

"Didn't I just say to stop fighting?" Aang yelled over all of them.

Suddenly, water was splashed on the three newcomers, including Sokka and Aang. All turned to stare at Katara just as she slung her new-found water pouch around herself.

"We all need to calm down," She said firmly, "We're not sure where we are just yet and fighting isn't helping anything." She made too much sense for anyone to argue so Ozai settled for glaring at his son and brother, "I vote we finish gathering the stuff Kimono grabbed from the house. Who's with me?"

Everyone grumbled various versions of "That is a fantastic idea. Thank you for being the voice of reason", or something like that, and went about the clearing.

"I can't believe we forgot all this stuff," Zuko remarked as he picked up his twin broad swords. He himself was dressed in the clothes he had worn when he fought Azula, minus the burned hole in the middle from her lightning.

"I can!" Ty-Lee called, picking up some clothes from the grass, "Speaking of stuff, where did you get all these cloaks, Kimono?"

The girl, who had yet to move from her spot on the ground shrugged, "Cosplay mostly."

"Of course." Kimono glared at Ozai who simply glared back as he picked a tea pot off the ground. Realizing what he now held, the man's gaze shifted to the tea pot. "Wait why do we have this?"

Suddenly the pot was whipped away from him and Iroh clutched it to his chest, "You remembered it!" Cried the old man cheerfully.

Ozai was not deterred, "No, seriously, why did you grab this?" he asked Kimono in disbelief.

"Why are you complaining?" Toph pointed out, suddenly popping up next to the baffled ex-fire bender, "This means we get to have awesome tea whenever we want it."

"Yes, but," he turned back to Kimono, "of all the things to pack, why would you think 'tea pot' first?"

Kimono, obvious still pissed about the way Ozai had greeted her earlier, snapped back, "At least I grabbed something! Without me we wouldn't have food!" she pointed to the bag of fruits and bread nearby. Sokka immediately rushed to it and hugged it to his chest fondly.

"I would have had my stuff all organized if your house hadn't made me act so out of character!"

"Why can't you ever admit when you're wrong?"

"Oh wonderful food! I'm sorry I left you behind!"

"Because I'm not wrong, that's why!"

"You're gonna blame my house for making you not do something? You really are a moron!"

"Do I need to throw more water at you people?"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP I HEAR SOMEONE COMING!" Everyone jumped and turned to look at Toph, panicked.

Said Earthbender smirked, "Now that I have your attention, shut up." Ozai looked ready to kill but Toph walked confidently past him and spoke to Iroh instead, "What was so funny earlier, anyway?"

Iroh, who was dressed as he was in the last scene of season 3, smiled happily at the blind girl, "Oh, Zuko and I just found Ozai's attire highly amusing, that's all."

"Why? What's he wearing?"

"If you say one more thing Iroh I'll be an only child."

This is the Surprise story I've been working on for a while ;) It's all the main characters from "The Avatar Crew Comes to You!" so if you never read it, BE LOST! GO READ! The rest of the story will be written like this so… get used to it? Yeah. Also, not very fast updates but what else is new?

Jet: And this is out before the next year. Take THAT Ty-Lee Hyuuga!

If you see any mistakes, it's because Noah didn't look this over before it went out. I like it anyways! By the way, the way I am wrtien in this story is going to be as realistic as possible. No surpise skills, powers, or anything like that. Just me and what I would do. Also, this will not be revolved around Kimono, I'll try to include everyone.

Jet: Also, it's gonna be all Avatar characters, so no Noah and Greg.

Where in the world is Ursa? Find out!

I rule Hyrule,

Kimono
