She was on to him. He could tell by the way she watched his every move, the way she would look at him with concern whenever he was quiet for too long. He knew he had to tell her something soon so that night as the group sat around the fire Aang cleared his throat and began to speak.
"So guys, I think I came up with an idea to defeat the Fire Lord." He said, his gaze not wavering from the fire before him.
"What?" Shrieked Sokka, "that's my job!"
"Sokka be quiet!" Scolded Katara.
"I'm just saying that all ideas should be ran by the Plan Guy!" Seeing Katara's glare Sokka huffed indignantly. "That is why I'm called the Plan Guy."
"You were saying Twinkle Toes?" Prompted Toph.
"Well, in six weeks the palace is going to hold a massive Agni Kai where all the best fighters show what they can do in front of Ozai." Aang glanced at Katara before continuing. "There will be people all over, fights going on, and Ozai will be sitting in the middle of it all."
"Surrounded by incredibly gifted fighters and guards." Sokka pointed out. "How are you supposed to get close enough to him?"
"That's not what I'm worried about." Interjected Aang. "I'm sure I can think of something, my real concern is having our people there to stop Ozai's army while I'm fighting him."
"No problem." Toph grinned "our guys will be more than ready in six weeks."
"Great." Beamed Aang, before turning to Zuko." Can you make a map for Sokka of the front of the palace? That way he can find out where we need the most help."
"Aang." Interjected Katara. "We really should figure out how you're going to get to Ozai, I mean without knowing that isn't the rest of the plan pointless?"
"Don't worry Katara, I have it figured out." He said confidently, hoping no one would push the issue. "Besides Toph and I should go work with the warriors to help them prepare." He added hurridly as he got to his feet.
"Hey Aang!" Called Zuko before the air bender was out of sight. "This whole Agni Kai plan," he began slowly, "it's not bad." With a sad smile Aang meet his gaze, knowing in that instant that Zuko knew exactly what his plan was to defeat Ozai.
