Apparently, after everything that happened with the storm, the Water Tribe Siblings had gotten sick so Aang went to get medicine while Dijin watched over the sick siblings. However, what should have been a 6-minute pit stop turned into a 6-hour trip and when Aang got back his clothes were all muddy and torn. When Dijin questioned him, all he got for answer was Aang sticking frozen frogs inside the sibling's mouths before he plopped down on Appa's tail saying "Hanging out with an old friend." Aang then just fell asleep after that with a curious Dijin still wondering what happened between him and this 'friend'. So, now the Gaang was currently packing camp up from a small river they stayed next to and as they were packing a rainbow-catfish kept jumping out of the water teasing the travelers.

Sokka glared at the fish his stomach growling saying "He's taunting us." The fish jumped out of the water again and made a kissy face at Sokka who yelled "That's it!" he then went to grab his fishing pole to catch and eat the fish who dared to mock him. However, despite him casting the fishing line, it wouldn't go flying so he looked at the pole and shouted "Hey! What happened to the fishing line?"

Aang laughed nervously before saying "I'm sorry Sokka I didn't think you'd need it." he then smiled awkwardly while holding up a choker necklace he made out of the fishing line with it having a fire-daisy as the pendent.

Aang then blushed while looking at Katara saying "Since you lost your necklace, I noticed you've been a little sad so I thought I would make you a new one to help you feel better."

Sokka then glared at Aang saying "Well, if you don't save the world, you'd be a good jewelry maker. Now if you'll excuse me." Sokka then screamed while drawing his knife and diving into the water saying "Come here, you damn fish!"

Katara walked forward accepting the gift saying "Thank you Aang, it looks beautiful, I'm going to go put it on right now."

Aang just smiled while rubbing the back of his head as Katara walked away to look at her reflection to put on the necklace. Dijin watched the exchange with a raised eyebrow and thought "When did those two become a thing?"

He didn't have long to think about it because Katara came back saying "So, how do I look."

Aang looked at Katara and a deep blush went across his cheeks as he saw Katara standing there with her necklace on but in the sunlight with the gleam of the water shining on her. He pulled his shirt collar feeling warm as he said nervously "You mean all of you or just your neck cause... well what I mean is-"

He was cut off by Sokka who teased Aang from the water while holding the Fish saying "Kissy, kissy. Someone's in love." he then made kissy faces at the fish before he was knocked in the head by a rock the size of a tennis ball making him drop the fish and fall in the water. Aang looked to his right and he saw Dijin rotating his fingers bending some rocks as he said "Shut up Sokka."

He then gave Aang a subtle thumbs up which he smiled at. Katara glared at her brother while holding Aang's shoulder saying "Don't tease Aang, Sokka, he's just a close friend. Right Aang?"

she then went back to packing the camp as Aang's head fell down depressed while Dijin patted back reassuringly saying quietly "Don't worry Aang, I'm sure she'll come around."

Aang just smiled at Dijin thankful for the support. Suddenly though they heard a loud roar as Katara yelled "It's coming from over there!" she then headed towards the direction of the noise with Aang and Dijin following her.

Sokka looked at them and shouted "Are we really running towards scary noises again! Didn't we learn our lesson the last time!" he then growled in frustration before running after the trio.

The Gaang found the noise which was an old man being attacked by a platypus-bear. The creature kept swiping at the old man but he was dodging the beast attacks like a veteran fighter saying "Whoa... Good one...Nice try... a little more to the left next time."

Aang and Sokka kept throwing out useless suggestions to the old man but the man replied "No worries... everything is under control."

Suddenly just as the beast was going to try and take a bite out of the old man, Appa showed up letting out a loud roar making the beast lay an egg in fear before running away.

Sokka smiled and licked his lips grabbing the egg and saying "Yum, lunch." Sokka then looked at the old man as if he was stupid saying "Your lucky we came along or you'd be that things dinner."

The man just had an easy-going smile as he said "Ah. No worries. Aunt Wu said I would have safe journey today."

Aang raised an eyebrow asking "Aunt who?"

The man shook his head saying "No, Aunt Wu. She is my village's fortune teller. We all listen to Aunt Wu's fortunes because they always come true."

Sokka and Dijin looked at the man as if he was insane. So, they shouted at the same time "But it didn't come true, you didn't have a safe journey!" They looked at each other weirdly before glaring at the man again with Dijin saying "You were attacked by a wild animal for spirit's sake."

The old man smiled again and said "Ah. But you four came along so I did have a safe journey after all."

Sokka and Dijin's heads were smoking they were so mad at the man's insane logic before Katara exclaimed "Wow, to know your future that must be amazing."

Sokka looked at his sister like she grew a second head and shouted "You can't believe what this guy is saying."

The old man suddenly brightened up remembering something and grabbed the package he had on his back and handed it to Aang saying "I almost forgot Aunt Wu told me to give this to any travelers I met. Have a good day now."

The man then waved goodbye and walked away back to his village. Katara excited about this turn of events said "Maybe we should go see Aunt Wu and learn our fortunes. It could be fun."

Aang curious of what the package was tore it open while Sokka said "Oh Come-on. Fortune telling is nonsense."

Dijin spoke next saying "Agreed. People make their own futures."

Aang suddenly spoke up saying "What do you know? Look an umbrella." Aang then held the umbrella open showing everyone and then thunder suddenly boomed while rain started to pour.

Katara raised her hand above her head, Water-bending the water around her head before moving under the umbrella with Aang getting close while he blushed.

Katara then said "That proves it."

Dijin stomped his foot Earth-bending a small stone slab and using it as an umbrella but still getting wet slightly. He then said "This proves nothing. I looked at the sky earlier and saw the clouds."

Sokka added his two cents saying "Exactly, you can't really tell the future."

Katara smirked at the two saying "Then I guess you guys aren't really getting wet, then."

Suddenly the rain caused Sokka to lose his grip on the egg he was holding and it slipped out of his hands. He tried to catch it but it ended up on his head instead. He then just got depressed before pointing in the old man's direction saying "Let's just go see Aunt Wu. Maybe she has something to eat at least." Sokka then walked down the path the others following him.

The Gaang was walking down the road with the village in sight and as they were walking Sokka and Dijin were trying to convenience the other two how ludicrous fortune telling was.

"Fortune tellers are masters of observation, just by how you sit they can tell if your depressed, happy, or something else entirely. It's not supernatural it's just an act." Dijin said with finality.

Katara rolled her eyes saying "Come on guys, just admit your wrong and I'll Water-bend the rain away from you guys."

Sokka then said "Look, I'm gonna predict the future right now. It's going to keep drizzling." he then waved his fingers spookily but sadly just then the sun came out and birds started chirping.

Aang and Katara looked up at the sky with Aang saying "Not everybody has the gift Sokka."

Sokka just got madder while Dijin threw his slab away and patted Sokka's shoulder saying "Forget it man, they're not gonna listen to reason."

Katara then shouted "We can hear you!"

Dijin shouted back "I Know!"

They glared at one another before Katara went "hmph."and turned her head saying "Come on Aang, let's go see Aunt Wu." She then looped her arm around Aang's and led him into the village while he smiled like an idiot. Dijin and Sokka followed the two but still not really wanting to go through with the whole idea.

Once the Gaang made it into the village they asked where Aunt Wu's house was and they were let inside a large building by a guard in a black robe standing out front. Once inside, they were told to remove they're shoes as he led them two a green decorative room full of chakra crystals and other unique remedies and tools. However, in the center of a room was a young twelve-year-old girl who was bowing to them. She then raised her head saying "My name is Meng, And I'm Aunt Wu's assistant." her eyes widened though as she looked at Aang then gained a smirk before saying "Well, hello there."

The Gaang looked at their young hostess and she wore a pink kimono that was a size too large for her with a purple obi, she had two long pigtails that were messily tied, she had brown eyes and skin, when she smiled, she had a small gap between her front teeth, and currently she wore no shoes due to the house rules. Meng spoke up again saying "Please all of you have a seat." she then motioned to some cushions on the floor to the right of the room.

Dijin sat on the far right one, Katara sat on the one next to him, Aang sat next to the one by Katara, and Sokka sat on the one next to Aang. Meng looked at Aang and asked "Would you like some tea and Bean curd puffs?"

Sokka spoke up saying "I'll take some bean-" he was cut off by the girl holding up her hand saying "Hang-on a minute."

Dijin put off by the girl's behavior said "I would like some te-" the girl cut him off as well glaring at him and saying angrily "In...a... minute."

Dijin was about to launch the girl out of the room via Earth-pillar but Katara grabbed his shoulder and whispered to him "She has a little crush on Aang, give her a break."

Dijin looked at her and guessed it was female intuition so he took a deep breath before nodding his head. Katara smiled at him happy that he understood and then Meng then leaned down to Aang asking "So, what's your name?"

Aang answered blankly "Aang."

Meng gasped saying "That rhymes with Meng, and you've got some big ears, don't you?"

Aang a little put off at his ears being called big said "I guess."

Sokka then said "Don't be modest, they're huge."

Meng stood up saying "Well, Aang, It's very nice to meet you... Very nice." she then walked away to get the tea and bean puffs as Aang said "Likewise."

Sokka then had his feet splayed out as he groaned saying "I can't believe we're in the house of nonsense."

Katara rolled her eyes at her brother and said "Try to keep an open mind Sokka." she then looked at Dijin saying "You too, Dijin."

Dijin just held a fist to his chin as he growled out "That tea better be good or I'm launching that girl through the roof."

Aang curious at Dijin's anger asked "Why? She seemed nice."

Dijin looked at Aang like he was stupid before he realized Aang had no clue about Meng's interest in him or he plain didn't care. Dijin then grumbled out "I just want some tea."

Then as luck would have it Meng came back out with a hot tea pot, cups, and a bowl of bean curd puffs. Then as if knowing Dijin was upset she poured his tea first then the other's. Dijin waved his hand over the cup to smell the aroma and he had to admit it smelled decent. He then took a sip and while the tea wasn't as good as when Iroh would make it during their lessons he could still rank it a solid fourth or fifth. Sokka then ate a bean curd puff saying "mmm. hmmm." and then he started to inhale the snacks offering some to the others who declined.

Just then a woman came out from behind a sliding door saying "Oh Meng, Aunt Wu says I'm going to meet my true love! He's going to give me a rare panda-lily."

Meng looked at the woman and sighed dreamily saying "That's so romantic." she then looked at Aang saying "I wish someone would bring me a rare flower."

Aang saw her looking and gave a friendly wave while the woman whispered something to Meng Making her push the woman out the door quickly and out of the room. Meng got nervous after the woman left before Suddenly another woman opened the sliding door only, she was much older probably in her late fifties. She had on green ceremonial robes similar to what King Bumi wore but instead she had images of spirits designed onto her robes, she had her hair done up so it was puffy but combed neatly, her nails were pointed while wearing several rings with various stones, and like everyone else she was bare-foot. She looked at the newcomers and said "I am Aunt Wu whose fortune shall I be telling next?" She then noticed Dijin drinking his tea before saying "How about you sir, knowing your fate is always worthwhile."

Dijin put his tea down and frowned before saying "Forgive my rudeness but I don't believe in what you do Aunt Wu. I am a heavy believer that fate is in your own hands and it's up to yourself to shape your destiny not for someone to tell you what it is."

Aunt Wu frowned at him as well saying "I see. I have met many like you in my life time, they doubt my abilities but, in the end, I prove them wrong. Allow me to prove the same to you. Follow me." She then walked away leaving no room for discussion.

Dijin looked at the others and they just shrugged their shoulders at him. Meng then spoke up saying worriedly "You'd better follow her there's no telling what Aunt Wu would do when she's mad."

Dijin just sighed and said "Fine let's get this over with." he then got up and followed Aunt Wu. She led him into a room that was spacious and had various animal heads decorating the walls, it had a fire-pit in the center with two cushions on either side, and lastly there was a huge basket of animal bones. Aunt Wu took a seat on one of cushions and said "Grab a bone and throw it into the fire, the cracks the heat make will help me tell your fortune."

Dijin just grabbed a random bone which turned out to be a femur as he then tossed it into the fire. He then plopped down on the other cushion and said "So, what's my future?"

Aunt Wu not liking his attitude frowned before looking at the cracks forming and said "You are a great soldier highly respected by all who know yo-"

Dijin cut her off saying "Anyone could tell I'm soldier just by how I hold myself that's a simple observation trick."

Aunt Wu continued to frown before looking again and smirking while saying "I also see great love in your future, she'll be-"

Dijin cut her off again saying "Let me guess, a caring girl who wants to take care of the battle worn soldier or is it the girl who's been beside me all along? I swear if you say it's Katara I'm gonna be pissed."

The woman fed up with him shouted "Shut up you damn oaf and let me do my job!" Dijin instantly shut up not expecting such harshness from the woman. She coughed into her hand before she said "As I was saying, I see great love in your future, she'll be a powerful bender like you. You will find her when you see a blind bandit."

Dijin's eyes widened before he stared at the woman, not once had any one of the Gaang mentioned that they were benders and yet she just said he was one but the only way that were possible was if she had seen them bending in person.

Dijin tried to say "How did yo-"

she cut himoff this time saying "I'm sorry but our time is up. Will you send in the Water Tribe girl next?"

Dijin could only stare at the woman who smirked at him knowing she had once again proven a skeptic wrong. He then got up and walked out of the room and when he came back to the waiting room he had a puzzled look on his face. Katara curious at her friends look asked "What's wrong Dijin? What did she say?" Dijin shook himself before looking at her and saying "I think she might be the real deal." Sokka spat out a mouthful of bean puffs saying "What! Just 10 minutes ago you were agreeing with me about all this crap." Dijin just sat down saying "She knew I was a bender even though she has never seen me bend." Katara excited by this news said "really? Can I go next?" Dijin just said "Yeah, in fact she even requested you." Katara squealed in excitement before heading down the hall.

Aang after watching Katara walk away asked "What do you think they're talking about in there?"

Dijin spoke up after pouring himself some tea saying "Judging by how mine went, probably about love and who'll she'll marry."

Aang blushed before saying "really? You think so?" Aang then got an Idea as he said "I gotta use the bathroom. I'll be right back." Aang then disappeared down the hall as well while Dijin sipped his tea with a raised eyebrow. Aang stealthily crouched down and creeped down the hallway until he came up to Aunt Wu's fortune reading room. He leaned his ear close to hear what to two women were saying.

Aunt Wu spoke first saying "Your palms are so soft. Do you use moisturizer?"

Katara spoke next saying "Actually yes. I use this special seaweed lotion. I could get you some if you want."

Aang just listened to them talk with a frustrated gaze as he thought "Hand lotion? Come on! get to the love stuff already."

Then as luck would have it Katara spoke up again saying "So, do you see anything interesting in my love line?"

Aang pumped his fist as he smiled before listening again while Aunt Wu spoke saying "I see a great romance for you... The man you're going to marry."

Katara excited said "Tell me more!"

Aang was listening like a hawk his ear pressed to the door as if he was attached to it. Aunt Wu spoke again saying "I can see that he's a very powerful bender. One that would be spoke of in legends."

Aang gained a huge smirk before silently jumping for joy but his joy was short lived as he was suddenly yanked backwards by the collar of his shirt. As Aang was then dragged away he looked up and saw Dijin was the one dragging him. Aang glared at him slightly and said quietly "What are doing? It was just getting to the best part."

Dijin just frowned before saying "Well, now we know that 100 years in ice has made you forget all about a person's right to privacy. Huh Aang?"

Aang could only look away in shame as Dijin brought him back out to the waiting room. Sokka confused asked "Why are you dragging Aang down the hall?"

Dijin decided to cover for Aang saying "He sneezed and froze himself to the toilet. So, I literally had to drag him off the seat."

Sokka started to laugh hysterically while Aang glared at Dijin who sipped his tea. Hey, he decided he'd cover for him not that he would cover for him good.

When Sokka calmed down Aunt Wu and Katara came out with Aunt Wu saying "Now, who's next?"

Sokka sighed and said "Fine let's do this."

He then moved to stand up but Aunt Wu just said "Your future is full of struggle, strife, and anguish, most of it self-inflicted."

Sokka then said indigently "But you didn't read my palms or anything."

Aunt Wu answered as if it was obvious saying "I don't need to. It's written all over your face."

Then as if to prove her point Sokka picked his teeth with his finger before screaming in pain and saying "Ah. hang nail."

Aunt Wu ignored him and looked at Aang saying "You there, come with me." she then headed down the hall Aang following suit.

After Aang had his fortune told they all left Aunt Wu's to explore the village. As they were walking Sokka spoke up saying "Well, now you got to see for yourselves that fortune telling is just a big hoax. Right Dijin?" Sokka looked at Dijin for confirmation but just saw him walking with his hand on his chin thinking hard. Sokka looked at him disbelievingly before saying "Come on man! You can't really think that lady has real powers."

Dijin just looked at him completely ignoring his statement asking "Hey, did you notice anyone near camp when I Earth-bent that slab?"

Sokka slammed his hand against his face before Katara spoke up saying "Your just upset because your gonna make yourself miserable and unhappy your whole life."

Sokka held his hands out exaggeratedly saying "That woman is crazy! My life will be calm and happy and joyful!" he then kicked a rock which ricocheted off a sign and hit Sokka in the head knocking him on his backside into a pile of ostrich-horse poop. As Sokka got up with flies around him he stubbornly said "That doesn't prove anything."

Katara smiled and said "Well, I liked my predictions. Certain things are gonna turn out well. and I can also see Dijin is having an inner crisis over this whole thing."

Katara then started giggling while Dijin didn't respond to caught up in his thoughts since he was still trying to figure out how Aunt Wu knew he was a bender. Aang then smirked knowingly at Katara and said "Things are definitely gonna turn out well."

Katara excited Aang got a good fortune too asked "Why? What did she tell you?" Aang trying to cover for himself said "Some stuff. You'll find out."

The Gaang while caught up in their conversation apparently had wondered into the town square where the whole village was gathered. Katara looked up and saw a tan, gold tower with a staircase and above in the sky all the clouds seemed to have taken different shapes. Katara saw the old man they saved from before as they approached and asked him "What's with the clouds?"

The old man looked up at the tower saying "We're waiting for Aunt Wu to come and read the clouds to predict the whole village."

Aang pointed at one cloud saying "That cloud kinda looks like a fluffy bunny."

The old man had a look of panic as he said "You better hope it's not a bunny. The fluffy bunny cloud forecasts doom and destruction."

Sokka got in the man's face saying "Do you hear yourself?"

A random woman butted in saying "The cloud reading will tell us if mount Makapu will remain dormant for another year or if it will erupt."

Dijin finally snapped out of thoughts hearing that, being an expert on magma and volcanoes himself for obvious reasons. He then said "Wait. You rely on woman reading the clouds, for when a volcanic eruption will happen!? Do you have any idea how irresponsible and dangerous that is!"

The old man smiled saying "We used to have a tradition once a year of going up the mountain to check the volcano ourselves but ever since Aunt Wu moved to the village 20 years ago, we now have a tradition of not doing that."

Sokka and Dijin shouted at the old man "That's even worse!"

Dijin then slapped the old man for his stupidity so hard he spun around and was knocked out cold. Just then Aunt Wu finally arrived with a book in her hand as she climbed up the tower. Once she was inside, she opened her book and looked at the clouds before saying "Bending arrow cloud... Good crops this year. Nice, big harvest."

All the farmers in the crowd started cheering happy that their hard work would pay off. Aunt Wu looked at the sky again and said "Wavy moon-shaped cloud... Let's see." she then looked at her book and said "Gonna be a great year if your twins."

Two twin teenage brothers in the crowd high-fived each other before saying "All right!" Aunt Wu looked at the sky once again saying "And a cumulous cloud with a twisty nub coming off the end of it." she then spread her arms wide shouting "The Village will not be destroyed by the volcano this year!"

The whole crowd cheered in celebration while Sokka and Dijin frowned at the villager's ignorance. Aang seemed to be just going with the flow and he tried listening to the advice he got from Aunt Wu. So, he attempted to tell Katara his feelings but she wasn't listening to him at all instead she was listening to Aunt Wu's every word with absolute faith.

xxLine Breakxx

After the cloud reading Katara left the others to go see Aunt Wu again while Dijin and Sokka were determined to make these people understand that relying on fortune telling isn't safe or good for anybody. Aang however, was just walking with them since his attempt to tell Katara how he felt failed. Sokka looked around at the people living in blissful ignorance as he said "I can't believe all these saps. Someone really needs to knock some sense into them."

Dijin spoke next saying "While there are some things I can't explain about Aunt Wu there is one thing I know for sure, leaving a volcanic eruption up to fate is dangerous."

Aang seeing everyone smile and enjoy themselves said "They seem happy guys."

Sokka just stubbornly said "Not for long. I'm gonna prove Aunt Wu predictions are wrong and just a hoax."

Dijin then said "And I'm gonna tag along just so I can try to make sense of some of these predictions." Dijin then quickly grabbed a random man saying "Why are wearing those dumb red shoes?"

The man wiggled his shoes before replying with "Aunt Wu said I would meet my true love if I wore red shoes."

Sokka spoke up then asking "And how long have you worn those shoes since you got that fortune?"

The man smiled and said "Every day."

Dijin and Sokka both screamed in his face saying "Then of course its gonna come true!"

The man just smiled like an idiot saying "Really? Do you really think so? I can't wait." he then skipped away happily while Dijin thought to himself "Well, that just proves these people are dumb not how Aunt Wu knew I was a bender."

Sokka then kicked another rock which hit a rooster-goose and then the animal started to attack him as he tried to crawl away from the bird. Dijin and Aang just followed him since they had nothing better to do.

After Sokka "fought off" the bird they came across another villager who got a fortune from Aunt Wu only this one was slightly more disgusting. Aang and Dijin were standing behind Sokka while plugging their noses as he yelled at a man who claimed Aunt Wu said he would die if he bathed. So, in response the man has not properly washed himself in over six months. Sokka finished yelling by saying "And I don't care what Aunt Wu said you have to take a bath sometime!"

The man shrugged his shoulders before trying to walk away but Dijin slammed his right heel down creating an Earth-pillar under him and launching him in a nearby fountain washing his disgusting body to a degree.

The man started screaming hysterically saying "I'm going to die; I'm going to die!" before running away like a lunatic.

Sokka then growled out "What is wrong with these people!"

Aang spoke up trying to change the subject asking Sokka "So, Sokka, you know some stuff about ladies, right?"

Sokka happy for change in topic put his arm around Aang's shoulders saying "Some stuff? You've come to the right man. What can I do for ya buddy?"

Aang then raised his hands while tilting his head and saying "Well, there's this girl..."

Sokka looked behind Aang and saw Meng staring at the Air-bender dreamily. Sokka smirked getting the wrong idea as he said "I think I know who you mean."

Aang looked at Sokka surprised never guessing that Sokka figured out he was in love with his sister before saying "You do? And you're ok with it?"

Dijin knowing Aang had feelings for Katara and starting to see a misunderstanding beginning to form tried to say "Hey, Sokka I think you've got-"

He was cut off by Sokka who said "Quiet Dijin, you may be the expert when it comes to Lava-bending but I'm the expert when it comes to the art of love."

Dijin a little ticked off just kept quiet and thought "Fine. This should be entertaining to watch anyway."

Sokka then turned his attention back to Aang saying "Now, back to your earlier question. Yes, I'm ok with it, in fact I've been picking up subtle vibes that she likes you, too."

Dijin had to cover his mouth to hide his laughter watching the mess unfold before him before Aang said excitedly "She does?"

Sokka nodded his head with a smile saying "Oh, yeah. She's crazy about you. All you have to do now is not mess it up."

Aang confused asked "Well, how do I do that?"

Sokka then said "The number one mistake nice guys like you make... Being too nice."

Aang still confused asked "You can be too nice?"

Sokka smiled and nodded his head saying "Yep. If you want to keep her interested, you have to act aloof, like you don't really care one way or the other."

Dijin kept trying to hold in his laughter especially since Sokka was unconsciously giving girl advice for Aang to hit on his sister. However, Dijin did know one thing and acting aloof around Katara was not the way to go. After traveling with her and becoming her friend he has picked up a little bit about her personality and that is that she is caring person and she likes people who are the same way, which is one of the reasons Dijin found this whole display so funny.

Aang unsure of Sokka's advice said "Well, ok if you say so." Just then Meng walked up to them saying "Hey, Aang. I was wondering-"

Aang cut her off saying "See you later." before he walked away to try and woo Katara while Meng dropped her head depressed.

Sokka looked at the exchange with a hand on his chin and said "He's better at this than I thought."

Dijin couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing at the misunderstanding while Sokka just looked at him funny unable to understand his laughter.

xxLine Breakxx

After Sokka's lady advice he and Dijin continued to talk villagers to either get them to admit relying on fortune telling was dangerous, or trying to convince them they need to go check on the volcano. They were talking to another stubborn man who refused to believe Aunt Wu could be wrong when Aang approached them and asked if they would come with him up to the volcano.

Dijin thinking it was to check to see if everything is safe asked "So, you also think we should check on the volcano?"

Aang looked away awkwardly while saying "Actually, I need your guys help finding a flower."

Sokka and Dijin shouted "A flower!"

Aang waved his hands defensively saying "Trust me guys it will be worth it. It's not just a flower and with Dijin's Earth-bending we can get up there really quick while you can also check to see if it's safe."

Dijin and Sokka sighed before saying "Fine." and then they started to begrudgingly follow Aang up towards the volcano.

The trio could currently be seen on a giant stone slab as Dijin moved his arms and fists back and forth moving the slab upwards like an elevator to the top of the volcano.

As the climbed up Sokka spoke saying "I can't believe your dragging me and Dijin all the way up here for a stupid flower."

Aang just looked at the nearing summit in excitement saying "I told you guys. It's not just some ordinary flower, it's a panda-lily and I've seen them work in action."

Sokka just crossed his arms saying "Flowers are fine once you're married, but at this early stage, it's critical that you maintain maximum aloofness."

Dijin just sighed loudly before saying "Ok Sokka, quick question. Have you ever dated anyone before?"

Sokka blushed with his voice cracking as he yelled "Of course!"

Dijin nodded his head saying "So, no then." Sokka just glared at Dijin's back while Aang laughed.

Dijin then continued speaking saying "Now that we have that out of the way. I think we should let Aang do his own thing because right now he has better chance at getting a girlfriend than you or me. Oh, look we're here."

Just as Dijin said they had arrived at the summit while Sokka's jaw had hit floor at his earlier comment. Aang then started to Air-bend to the mouth of the volcano with Dijin following suit but using Earth-bending. Aang instantly saw a group of panda-lily's and grabbed one while saying to himself "Katara's going to love this."

However, he suddenly heard Dijin yell at him distressed saying "Aang, you'd better get over here now!"

Aang quickly Air-bent to his position and what he saw next made him drop the flower he came to get. Down below them not even 10 feet deep was a giant lake of hot lava and the magma looked like it would erupt very soon.

Dijin looked at Aang seriously before saying "We have a few hours maximum to get everyone out of the village. This volcano is going to erupt today no question."

Aang looked down at the magma before saying "You were right guys. Aunt Wu was wrong."

Dijin then took charge immediately saying "Aang take Sokka on your glider and try to get everyone to evacuate. If you can't, send me any Earth-benders you can find."

Aang curious asked him "What are you going to do?"

Dijin looked at the magma then at the village before saying "I'm going to try and dig a big enough moat to stop the oncoming magma and hope it's enough."

Aang nodded his head before grabbing Sokka saying "let's go." He then opened his glider and flew off with Sokka.

Dijin took his robe off letting it hang at his waist as he got to work. He twisted his feet sideways and thrusted his arms out bending the earth under him and digging a trench for the lava to travel down to reduce damage. He kept going till he was about 30 feet from the entrance to the village before stopping. He then rotated his arms in a circle before thrusting his arms and fists out creating a rock-wall that curved backwards slightly. He repeated this process until he made a solid wall that blocked off the whole village. Dijin suddenly felt a breeze and saw that the clouds were beginning to change shape before settling on the image of a skull. Dijin was too busy doing his task to question what was going on as he just stood up and slammed his right foot sideways while thrusting his arm forward. This caused the dirt to cave-in and go deeper as he began digging a moat in front of the wall. It wasn't until he was almost to about half-way done did the two twin teenagers from the town sqaure launch themselves over his wall and run up to him.

He stopped what he was doing when they got close enough and they stood at attention before one said "The bald kid in the village said you needed Earth-benders?"

Dijin smiled thankful for help before saying "I want you two to go to summit and start Earth-bending some trenches down the mountain that lead to this bigger moat I'm making. Then start creating an exit point for the magma to go into the water. We are trying to reduce as much damage as possible. Do you understand?"

The twin brothers said "Yes, sir!"

Dijin smiled again before saying "Get to it!" The twins quickly ran off and got to work.

It wasn't until they only had about 30 minutes to spare did Dijin and the twins finish creating their trenches, the large moat, and the exit point. The Gaang was currently standing by the edge of town. Aang and Dijin were standing on the wall while Sokka and Katara stood a few feet behind them.

Aang looked up and saw that ash was filling the sky he then looked at the volcano in slight worry before saying "You think this will work?"

Dijin just had a hard gaze before saying "We'll make it work."

Suddenly the ground began to shake and just as Dijin predicted the volcano erupted, magma filling the sky. Thankfully due to Dijin and the twins trenches they reduced the damage to the surrounding forest and wildlife to a minimum. Aang and Dijin stared at the magma in trepidation as it started to gather in Dijin's moat and fill up fast.

Soon the magma was almost to the top with Katara screaming "It's not gonna hold!"

Then as if to add insult to Injury a flaming boulder erupted from the volcano landing in the pool causing a massive wave so large that it was about to cover the whole village but Dijin took a horse stance and thrusted his hands out trying to hold back the wave. However, despite his skill it was just too much for one bender to handle.

Sokka and Katara then screamed in terror while Dijin shouted "Aang, I can't hold it!" Aang used his quick thinking and launched himself in the air with his bending to create as much Air as possible so he had a full view of the wave. He then launched himself at the wave before slamming his feet into the stone wall while clapping his hands, a sonic boom being heard as he roared in effort screaming "Raaaaahhhhhhh." The Air-wave he generated was so large it instantly hardened all the magma present.

Dijin seeing most of the danger was over with curled his fingers hardening the rock more before he turned his hands into fists turning all the lava rock into black sand.

Dijin then heard Sokka say from behind them "Wow, Sometimes I forget just how powerful a bender Aang is."

Katara instantly looked at her brother saying "What did you say?"

Sokka just shrugged saying "Nothing, just that Aang is powerful bender."

Katara remembering what her fortune said looked at Aang in a new light as she said "I guess he is."

Dijin remebering her fortune as well thought to himself "If that's true than who is this blind bandit I'm supposed to meet?

After everything was cleaned up from the volcano the village was giving the Gaang a royal sendoff giving them food, supplies, even a little travel money.

Aunt Wu approached them as they were leaving and Aang walked up to her with a book saying "by the way we kind of borrowed your book."

Aunt Wu accepted the book saying "So, you messed with the clouds, did you?" She then smiled at Aang while pinching his cheek saying "Very clever."

Sokka then said "No offense, but I hope this has taught everyone a lesson about relying on fortune-telling for everything."

The old man from before was about to say something until Aunt Wu said "Yes, from now on we shall have someone check the volcano annually and I shall only give fortunes once a week."

The old man fainted after hearing that while the Gaang said their goodbyes and flew off to their next stop on the way to the North Pole.
