I love Toph and all, she's like one of my favorite characters... but I'm (sniff, sniff) replacing her! (in mega-voice) WITH MY OWN CHARACTER!

And... I don't own Avatar. No matter how much I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really wish that I did.

Katara has already found Aang and they've met Zuko. Except instead of going straight to the air temples they decide to stop for some supplies.

"So what's the plan, we head to the air temple, see some other bald arrow-headed dudes, then fly to the North Pole to find a master to teach you and Katara to water bend?" Sokka clarified. "Yes." Aang nods, while meditating. "Right, well I'm going into town and getting us some supplies you two... stay out of trouble." The ever so motherly Katara ordered.

Katara's P.O.V

The further I go the less I like this place. Everyone is staring. Why? What's so strange? Why are they all staring at me? I kept walking, then noticed none of they're eyes followed me, they were just watching the place I was a second ago. Wait a minute they're not looking at me... I turned around in time to see a very large fire nation vessel crash into the docks. Zuko.

Unknown P.O.V

I watched a Fire Nation ship just ram our docks. Oh, hell no. No way am I letting the Fire Nation invade my town again. This is my town. And they're going down.

Zuko's P.O.V

"There they are, uncle... the avatar and his... flying cow-thing." I gesture to Appa, who was lying on the roof of a house, with the avatar sitting on top of his head, neither even trying to fit in. This time I would succeed in catching the Avatar. And my father will be proud when he sees what I've done. I'l be welcomed back with open arms. This child will not evade me again. He's going down.
