"So do we even want to ask how you knew about an air balloon?" Sokka asked warily.
"I heard Azula plotting with her cronies a lot. Plus I saw the beginning designs before Father sent me to the asylum," Zuko explained.
"Either way, thank you Zuko. We understand how worrying it must be for you to leave the group and Katara," Suki thanked.
"Katara can take care of herself. Besides, if anything happens to the group her and Toph will be able to deal with it. Toph's been teaching Haru and he should be able to help as well. They should be fine," Zuko insisted.
"Yeah. If there's one thing Katara always does its protect everyone. The group is her family. She won't let anything happen to them. And they won't let anything happen to her," Sokka agreed.
"The Avatar definitely won't," Zuko muttered.
"Why do you say that?" Suki asked prying for information.
"He has a crush on her. He doesn't exactly realize that she's older than he is. Mentally older as well. Or the fact that as the Avatar he would be travelling around the world. I don't think he'll be getting Katara to leave her family again," Zuko explained.
"Well we'll just have to wait and find out," Sokka smirked.
"So doesn't you and Suki having been captured equal a bad thing for us?" Sokka asked.
"Not exactly. It gives us a way out of here," Zuko smirked.
"Okay then. What do you need me to do?" Sokka sighed.
"Get me in the Coolers," Zuko instructed.
"Are you sure? Won't that hurt you?" Sokka asked worriedly.
"I'll be fine. We have to get out of here. Before they tell anyone that they have the Crown Prince here," Zuko insisted.
"Okay. I'll do my best. I'm going to make sure that my dad and Suki are in on the plan," Sokka informed.
"Good. Make sure they're ready to go at a moment's notice," Zuko nodded.
"Are you okay?" Sokka asked being greeted by a handful of screws dropping to the floor, "I'll take that as a yes."
"I told you I'd be fine," Zuko rolled his eyes.
"Yeah but Katara would kill me if I brought anyone back half dead. Even you," Sokka teased.
"Hey, she still needs me. I'm the only person who hasn't gone crazy on her yet. You are always dealing Suki and Yue who seem to actually like you for some reason. Toph likes to beat up Haru and call it teaching him. Teo is off working on inventions most of the day. And Aang has found a fellow five year old in The Duke and they go off and play with Pipsqueak watching them," Zuko mocked.
"That's not fair. You're not allowed to be right when you're half frozen," Sokka sulked.
"I'm not half frozen. I am able to keep myself warm," Zuko said letting out a small breath of fire.
"Of course you are," Sokka grumbled.
"And the plan didn't work," Suki sighed.
"Well do we have any other ideas?" Zuko snapped.
"A riot and take a gondola?" Sokka offered.
"And get dropped into the boiling lake?" Zuko reminded.
"Not if we have a prisoner," Suki grinned
"They're not going to care. They cut the line anyways," Zuko insisted.
"Not if its the Warden," Hakoda informed.
"And how are we supposed to get the Warden?" Sokka asked.
"Looks like your girlfriend's already on it," Hakoda teased.
"She's crazy. Let's go make sure she doesn't leave us behind," Sokka mumbled.
