Disclaimer: I do not own the Avatar or House. I would like to thank this pain is just 2 real, Zombie, PO. Texaco, and Ireth Kalt for their wonderful reviews. And just to say it, I love reviews, so all I want for late Christmas is reviews! I would like to apologize for the first chapter. It seemed that I spelled Cuddy's name wrong. That's what I get for writing late at night. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

"When is she going to get here?" Katara complained, pacing back and forth. Aang's condition was getting worse and the silence that the indoor garden was giving off was not improving anyone's mood.

"Would you stop? You're pacing is actually making me dizzy!" Toph said massaging her forehead.

"I can't believe that we're asking Aunt Wu to help." Sokka complained. "I mean, what can she actually help us with? She can't even see into the future!"

"You're just jealous that you're going to have a miserable life full of struggle." Katara smirked at her response.

"How is she going to help us though?" Toph asked her hands behind her head with her body flat on the floor. Although she didn't want to show it, her eye brows were furrowed in worry.

"I'm sure she must have some magic." Katara reasoned. "I mean that town she predicted didn't get destroyed by the volcano."

"That's only because Aang cooled off the lava with his air bending." Sokka shot back. Toph gave a frustrated sigh as she tried to ignore the squabble of the two siblings. Thankfully, there was a knock on the door before Katara gave Sokka a new move that she made up which she liked to call the ice wedgies. Toph opened the door and Aunt Wu stepped inside.

"Show me the Avatar."

Meanwhile, outside the healer's house, Zuko quietly listened underneath a rose bush. It's been a month since he has seen the Avatar, the water bender, and the pathetic warrior. Hair prickled on the back of his neck as he listened to the conversation. Hope and adrenalin filled his blood as he stood on the brink of attack. The old feeling of hope came back to him with the same light at the end of the tunnel that would show him his home, throne and a proud father.

How he came to find the Avatar was destiny Zuko decided. It was only luck or fate that this woman walked by him and his uncle while asking directions to where the Avatar was. Zuko followed the woman after convincing his Uncle that he was just going for a walk. Zuko was about to attack when he overheard the Avatar was deadly ill. All desire and old habits screamed at him to attack, acquire what was rightfully his, but the Avatar was too ill to be moved, and he couldn't present his father the Avatar dead. Zuko slightly shifted from side to side as his legs started to tingle from not being moved.

"So what is your plan?" Zuko fell out of the rose bush in surprise. He almost panicked when he heard a voice until he saw that it belonged to his Uncle Iroh.

"Uncle!" Zuko choked in surprise.

"I thought this is where you might have gone." Iroh said seriously.

"What are you doing here Uncle?" Zuko asked quietly looking over his shoulder to see if anyone saw or heard them.

"Funny, I was just going to ask you the same question." Iroh replied looking down on his nephew.

"The Avatar is sick. This can be my chance to-"

"To what? Bring him to your father? How will you do that Zuko? He will lock you in jail before you can even present the Avatar before him!" Iroh scolded.

"You don't know what you're talking about!"

"Your father sent your own sister to track and capture us!"

"Don't worry, I'll have the Avatar healed before you can say platapus bear!" the voice inside echoed out.

Inside the healer's home, Aunt Wu set up five candles in a pentagram that circled Aang.

"I don't really understand how this is going to help Aang…" Sokka said folding his arms.

"Aunt Wu is going to send Aang by using magic to a place where they will be able to heal him." Katara explained rolling her eyes as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Do you even hear yourself?" Sokka asked. "It doesn't even make sense! Why can't we just find some medicine or herb that will treat his symptoms or something?"

"I actually agree with the non bender." Toph spoke up. "I mean, this is a bit drastic and unnecessary."

"Nothing is unnecessary or drastic for the Avatar." Aunt Wu cryptically said. "The fate of the world is in his hands. Shall we begin?" she motioned for the three kids to join Aang in the circle.

"So we'll be able to stay with Aang?" Katara asked stepping carefully into the circle where strange writing glowed from the floor as Aunt Wu nodded.

"And how many times have you done this?" Toph asked standing across from Katara.

"Actually, I have never done anything like this before." Aunt Wu replied.

"WHAT?" Sokka screamed. "Then why are we doing this?" Sokka tugged at his hair in agony. "She's probably going to kill us!"

"Don't worry, nothing's going to happen. We'll stop before anything goes terribly wrong." Katara reasoned.

"WHEN HAVE WE EVER STOPED BEFORE GETTING IN TROUBLE? WHEN? THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO US! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER LISTEN TO ME?!" Sokka cried out.

"Stop being a drama queen and get in the circle." Aunt Wu commanded, and Sokka reluctantly stepped in the circle.

The diagram was a circle, where Aang was in the middle and Katara, Sokka, and Toph created a triangle around Aang.

"Now, I need all of you to clear your minds and stand still." Aunt Wu ordered. "The earth the air the fire the water return return return. The earth the air the fire the water return return return return. Aeye aeye aeye aeye oheye oheye oheye oheye. Silence engulfed them as Aunt Wu started to chant. It started as a whisper. Slow and soft, like something in a far off dream. Then steadily the chanting grew louder that echoed in the room as the fire in the candles swayed back and forth.

Outside, Zuko's eyebrow perked up. Something was happening, and he didn't like it. Zuko's gut and instinct screamed at him, telling him that something was going to happen to the Avatar if he didn't make a move right then. As cunning and relentless Zuko is, he still hasn't mastered the art of thinking ahead after listening to one's instinct. So it was no surprise to Iroh that Zuko rushed away from him and kicked down the door charging in the house with fire blasts.

Aunt Wu stopped short as she found a black haired boy with a scar in the sacred room.

"Zuko!" Katara growled, and released a water whip.

"No! Don't fight! You might upset the balance of the spell!" Aunt Wu cried out but to no avail.

Zuko dodged the attack and shot a fireball at her. Toph raised an earth shield in front of Katara and blocked her from the flames. Sokka threw his boomerang as Zuko ducked and rolled towards the Avatar. Zuko breathed in and doubled punched in the air creating a huge blast towards Aang. Katara and Toph created a barrier protecting Aang.

The three elements collided that created an explosion. The circle around them began to glow as lightning sprung about with huge gusts of wind came suddenly in the room. A purple bluish hole appeared over Aang and engulfed him in a second.

"Aang!" Katara cried out and jump after him.

"Katara no!" Sokka yelled as he saw to his horror his sister disappearing in the strange rip of fabric in time of dimension. "Come on!" Sokka grabbed Toph and sprinted into the strange light.

"You're not getting away from me this time." Zuko growled and ran after Aang into the purple bluish hole.

"Zuko!" Iroh called out and ran after his nephew. A split second after Iroh jumped in, the purple bluish hole made a loud popping noise and closed with a loud bang. Aunt Wu stood alone in the empty room with her mouth open in disbelief.

"This is not good."

The first thing that Katara noticed was the noise. Strange noises she heard that almost sounded like a tanks rolling around. Katara slowly rose from the ground as she let her eye vision adjust. Katara's blurred vision soon focused on a red and orange lump that lay lifelessly on the black hard road.

"Aang!" Katara croaked and she crawled to Aang. She took a few moments to look at her surroundings. The road didn't seem to be dirt. More like a black flat rock that somebody painted lines and funny words on. She stood up to try to find her bearings when something very heavy fell on her.

"Where the heck are we?" Sokka asked.

"On top of me that's where!" Katara muffled as Sokka noticed that he was sitting on his little sister. Sokka rolled off of Katara as he tried to clear his head.

"Now do you believe me? Now we're somewhere where we don't even know where we are." Sokka complained.

"Not now Sokka. We have to help Aang!" Katara said carefully picking up Aang.

"Oh so I guess it's never a good time to complain!" Sokka stood up. "What else could go-" but unfortunately Sokka was cut off by another thump.

"Ouch!" Toph cried out as Sokka lay sprawled out beneath her.

"My back!" Sokka moaned as Toph hurriedly got off his back.

"Wow, where are we?" Toph asked. "This place…is different…"

"What do you mean?" Katara inquired.

"There are a lot of people, and I mean, a lot of people. Not to mention things moving around that feel like tanks. And there are a lot of really tall buildings!" Toph answered placing her hand on the ground. Sokka slowly stood up massaging his back.

"I think my back is okay. Nothing crackedawohhhh!!!!!!!!" Sokka screamed as an angry ex-Fire Prince landed on his back.

"Hand over the Avatar!" Zuko demanded as he walked off of a whimpering Sokka and stomped over to Katara.

"Not even in your dreams." Katara answered back, and she got into a fighting stance.

Zuko was about to attack when an ambulance came rushing by with it's siren on. The teenagers covered their ears from the piercing noise as this strange thing wheeled by into a building that featured a red cross. If Zuko, Katara, or Sokka could read English, they would see that they were placed right outside the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

"Don't worry. I think I'll be fine." Sokka stood up carefully as his back cracked.

"Maybe you should stand somewhere else." Toph suggested.

"Good idea." And Sokka stepped sideways. "Give up Zuko, you're out numbered."

"I may be out numbered, but you are clearly out matched." Zuko said, deepening his stance.

"Where did you get that line?" Sokka asked, but was answered with Iroh falling on his back. "Why is everyone falling on my back?"

"I'm sorry!" Iroh apologized as he quickly got up and helped Sokka get on his feet.

"Uncle?" Zuko said surprised.

Katara taking Zuko's distraction as an advantage threw a water whip at Zuko's head. Zuko immediately growled and started to attack when Iroh caught Zuko and held him back.

"No, we are in no position to fight!" Iroh scolded at the teenagers. "If you hadn't noticed, we're in a strange world without a way of knowing how to get back. I suggest that we all make peace for the time being and work together."

"And how do you expect us to trust you?" Sokka said pointing a finger at Iroh.

"Don't worry, we can trust him." Toph assured her friends. "He's cool. He helped me with some problems. He's the reason why I came back to you guys after our fight."

"Fine, but only if Zuko promises that he won't try anything funny." Katara said.

"I'm sure my nephew will agree." Iroh said smiling. Zuko grunted and shot a glare at her. Iroh, hearing no reply elbowed Zuko in the ribs. "Right Zuko?" Zuko gave his uncle an angry glare and grunted.

"Fine. But once we get out of here, don't expect me to keep my promise." Zuko grunted.

"I still don't trust him." Sokka complained, keeping his boomerang close to him.

"Now that that's settled, we need to figure out what to do." Iroh said.

"We need to find Aang some help. He's really sick and I don't know how long he can last." Sokka went to help Katara by placing Aang on his back. "But we don't know where to go!" Katara explained to Iroh.

"Well they must have some healing facility here…" Iroh stated while stroking his growing beard.

"How about over there?" Toph asked pointing to the hospital. "There are a lot of sick people in that building."

"Well we might as well try." Katara said. "Let's go."

So with Katara leading the way, Sokka carrying Aang, Toph, Iroh and Zuko began to walk towards the strange building, hoping to get out of this mess.
