Chapter 4

Am I always wrong?

Toph looked back toward Iroh. "Can I get you something," she smiled.

He looks at her and smiled back. "Why don't we enjoy some tea and dinner. You being a water bender can surely get us fish from that stream." He looked hopeful at Katara.

Zuko watched the two girls comfort Iroh as he took a seat beneath a tree near the streams edge. He got lost in thought watching the cool water run just out of reach at his feet as a quiet bubble emerges from the water. He looked to his distraction and found fish swimming in the bubble being manipulated by the water bender not far down the stream.

"Don't worry I won't get you wet." Katara informed in an almost annoyed manner for him looking.

Zuko narrowed his gaze at her for such rudeness. In the end he found he hardly cared and just replied. "Good." He looked behind and found Toph and his uncle searching for tea leaves. Well more like Iroh looking for tea leaves and her making cups out of the ground.


Aang and Sokka were walking deep in the forest. "Who do they think they are?" Sokka said bitterly. "What made them want to help them so much, when do you help someone who wants kill you all the time. I mean you Aang should hate them more then any of us."

Aang looked at him troubled by that comment. "Sokka hate is waste of time and energy, it gets people no where in the end."

"Still given the circumstances how is helping them going to help our future. It's only going to bite us in the ass. If we have to protect ourselves from them then they are not exactly giving out the best welcoming committee." He put matter-a-factly.

"I never said we have to like them…..but hating them only brings negative reactions. The old man was hurt and Katara could help….would you feel so certain about this Sokka if we left an old man to die?" Aang replied without looking up. He was watching an army of ants stroll back in their hole in the ground while they continued walking.

Sokka stopped walking considering this measure, Aang looked to him. "You're right Aang but I still feel uneasy about this."

Aang smiled back at his friend. "We should head back to get dinner."

Sokka grimaced realizing he would have to face the two fire benders again.


I love how Iroh and Toph are friends I wonder what that will mean for the future in the the series..perhaps a rescue? I'm probably wrong but it is fun to dream.

Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
'T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur,—you 're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.

By Emily Dickinson. I think it shows that good is how you perceive it.The differences between Aang's group and Zuko. How Zuko is outnumbered by them and all and is seen as evil or mad.
