2. Chapter 1

It took some more healing-sessions until Zuko was able to get up and walk again. Though he started to do so as soon as he managed, much to the dislike of uncle Iroh and Katara. He hadn't seen Sokka and Aang, since they had liberated the ship. The others had at least peeked in on him now and then. So he decided it was time he asked Sokka about their next plans. Since Sokka was "plan-guy" it was only logical to ask him. But Sokka's only plan was to sneak into Firenation for now. Zuko therefor gave him the map he had gotten from Lu Ten who had found it on the ship. "I won't recommend Roku's island, or the capital." Zuko pointed out. "The capital is full of Firebenders and Roku's island… well, you saw it…"

"What would you recommend then?" Sokka asked, looking over the map with stern expression on his face. "The outskirts, for there is plenty of land to hide in, or Ember island…" Zuko answered "My family used to stay there during summer a long time ago. The house should still be there…" "You suggest we hide in the Firelord's summer-home…" Sokka asked. "Uh, well, Lu Ten kind of did…" Zuko shrugged "Point is, no one ever would look for us there… And we really doubt anyone would visit it." "Your cousin brought Azula into your uncle's house…" Sokka pointed out "I wouldn't trust him, if I were you." Zuko shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I told you what I would suggest. Decision's up to you." "Great…" Sokka sighed "Thank you."

Then Zuko went on to find Aang, who was practising coal-bending with Toph in the engine-room. "Sparky, it's painful just to see you…" Toph stated, as he found them "How do you even know where you're going?" "My eyes function…" Zuko pointed out. "Still…" Toph shrugged. "Shouldn't you rest?" Aang asked "Katara said…" "Yeah, I know…" Zuko sighed "I just wanted to know how you are planning on ending the war…" "Uh, well, we will see, right?" Aang smiled and shrugged his shoulders "One can't foretell, right?" "I would suggest smashing the Firelord's skull in with a bolder." Toph put in "Or maybe freeze him and then kick his head off or something like that." "Uh… I'm pretty sure I won't do that…" Aang huffed "Listen, I will find a way in time, ok? Stop worrying." "Oh, I've got one!" Toph cried out "You can lift him 100 feet into the air and then drop him… That'll be fun." Aang turned pale and Zuko decided the next time he would ask, he would make sure, Toph wasn't around.
