We are sitting by a lake. We are looking at the lake. When a large se tu suddenly bursts from the surface, leaps through the air, and lands with a splash into the water.

"Look." Katara said

Sokka stands up and looks at it. The fish, a se tu, leaps into the air again, facing the group in mid-jump before landing in the water again.

"He is taunting us. You are so going to be dinner." Sokka said

Sokka grabs his fishing pole from his tent that is set up nearby and attempts to cast the pole into the water unsuccessfully. Sook looks at his fishing pole.

"Hey, where's the fishing line?" Sokka asked

"Oh, I didn't think you would need it, Sokka." Aang said

Aang holds up an intricately woven necklace decorated with a red flower.

Sokka walks over and looks at the necklace.

"Aw, it's all tangled." Sokka wines

Aang stands up.

"(Rises to his feet) Not tangled. Woven. I made you necklace, Katara. I thought since you lost your other one…" Aang said

Aang stops mid-sentence and displays the necklace, holding it between his hands as he flashes a toothy grin. Katara smiles and approaches Aang.

"Thanks, Aang. (takes the necklace) I love it." Katara said

"(Sarcastically) great, Aang. Maybe instead of saving the world, you can go into the jewelry-making business." Sokka said

"I don't see why I can't do both." Aang said

The se tu continues its acrobatic display. Sokka tosses the fishing line into the water in an attempt to spear the fish. He only grows more frustrated when he sees the se tu leap from the water, unharmed.

"Stop taunting me." Sokka yelled

Sokka runs into the water, holding his jawbone dagger.

"So, how do I look?" Katara asked

I turn around to see Katara, Aang looks at her with a loopy grin.

"You mean, all of you or just your neck. (Puts his right hand behind his head on embarrassment.) I mean, because both look great." Aang said nervously

Sokka emerges from the water, holding the se tu.

"Smoochie, smoochie, someone's in love." Sokka said

Sokka starts making kissing noises before the se tu breaks free from his grasp, slapping Sokka in the face with its tail and disappearing under the water.

"I…well, uh…" Aang said very much embarrassed

"Stop teasing him, Sokka. Aang's just a good friend. A sweet, little guy. Just like Mom." Katara said

"You have just been friend zoned Aang. Have fun getting out of it." I said

"Thanks." Aang said

Sokka emerges empty-handed from the lake, soaking wet and cross. Momo suddenly flies off Aang's shoulder upon hearing a loud noises in the distance. Momo leaps onto a rock followed by Aang, who observes what is going on. He points to something in the distance. I move over to his side.

"Someone's being attacked by a platypus bear." I said

The platypus bear is standing on it's hind legs and swings at a man clad in blue, who smiles merrily, his hands behind his back. The man manages to avoid the bear's swings by calmly stepping backwards. The creature continues its attacks as Aang leap onto a rock directly behind it. We move towards the man and the platypus bear.

"Well, hello there. (Dodges another swift sing of the bear's claws) Nice day, isn't it?" the man asked

"Make noises. He'll run off." Aang said

Sokka and Katara walk over.

"No, play dead. He'll lose interest." Sokka said

The bear swings its claws only to miss striking the man once again.

"Whoa, close one." the man laughs

"(cups a hand to her mouth and makes gestures with her other hand) Run downhill, then climb a tree." Katara yells

"No, punch him in the bill." Sokka said

"And then run in zig-zags." Aang said

"No need, it'd going to be fine." the man said

The platypus bear attempts to land a blow, cutting a large chunk of wood from the trunk of a nearby tree, the clam man dodges the attack. Aang leaps into the air and ands onto the ground, placing himself between the calm man and the platypus bear. The blast sends the creature back slightly.

"Whoa there." Aang said

Aang brings his hands out in front of him and assuming a fighting stance. The platypus bear only rears on its hind legs further, letting out a loud cry. Appa suddenly appears from behind the bear and bellows, causing the animal to bristle in fear. The bear lays a large, spotted egg and runs down river.

"Well then. That we fun." I said

"(Joyfully picks up the egg) Mmm, lunch. Lucky for you, we came along." Sokka said

"Thanks, but everything was already under control. Not to worry. Aunt Wu predicted I'd have a safe journey." the calm man said

"Aunt who?" Aang asked

"Is that like Doctor Who?" I asked

"No, Aunt Wu. She's the fortuneteller from my village. Awful nice knowing your future." the clam man said

"Wow, it must be." Katara said

"That explains why you were so calm." I said

"But the fortuneteller was wrong! You didn't ha safe journey, you were almost killed." Sokka said

"But I wasn't. All right, have a good one. " the calm man said

He bids us a farewell and begins to walk away only yo turn back to us.

"Oh, and Aunt Wu said if I met any travelers to give them this." the calm man said

He hands Aang a wrapped parcel seemingly containing a long thin object and leave. Sokka eyes the man suspiciously.

"Maybe we should go see Aunt Wu and learn our fortunes. It could be fun." Katara said

"Oh, come on. Fortune telling is nonsense." Sokka said

"Aang unwraps the mysterious parcel, which turns out to be a red umbrella. He opens it and holds it over is head.

"What do you know? An umbrella." Aang said

Not even a second later, the sky darkens and it begins to rain. A low rumble of thunder can be heard. Katara steps under the umbrella with Aang, while bend a ice shield above my head so I don't' get rained on.

"That proves it." Katara said

Sokka holds the egg above his head to shield himself from the rain.

"No, it doesn't. you can't really tell the future." Sokka said

"I guess you're not really getting wet then." Katara said smugly

Sokka loses his grip on the platypus egg as if flies through the air. He attempts to catch it, however, it merely flies a few feet into the air and lands on his head, cracking and causing the egg to run down his face.

"So, are we going to Aunt Wu's or not?" I asked

Aang, and Katara nodded. We are walking along the river towards the village.

"Of course she predicted it was going to rain. The sky's been gray all day." Sokka said

"Just admit you might be wrong, and you can come under the umbrella." Katara said

"Or I'll bend you your own ice shield." I said

"Look, I'm going to predict the future now." Sokka said

He stops walking and hops from foot to foot in an exaggerated way.

"It's going to keep drizzling. (the rains continues to fall) See?" Sokka asked

"I predict that the rain is going to stop." I said

The rain suddenly stops falling and the sky lightens up. Aang tilts his umbrella back to look up at the sky.

"Not everyone has the gift, Sokka. Kida has the gift." Aang said

"No I don't I'm a water bender we can feel the water in air." I said

We continue walking along the path in a strong yet calm, breeze which rustles the grass on the side of the path. Aang and Katara continue to stroll leisurely under the umbrella ahead of Sokka. Appa plods behind, pausing briefly to shake his wet fur out, soaking Sokka in the process and causing him to flinch.

"Agh." Sokka yells

It doesn't take us much longer for us the reach the village. The village, lies at the mountain's very base. The team walks through the entrance into the village, turkey ducks quacking as they pass. We see a man dressed in a black robe standing by a round doorway.

"Aunt Wu is expecting you." the man said

"Really?" Katara asked

We walk through the doorway, Sokka expresses his disgust. We enter a room with four pillows situated on the floor to the right of the room. The strange man closes the door. A young girl walks into the room clad in a pink robe and wearing her braids that stick out from the sides of her head.

"My name is Meng and I'm Aunt Wu's assistant." Meng said

Meng eyes suddenly widen as she looks at Aang.

"Well, hello there." Meng said

"(Rubs nose in disinterest) Hello." Aang said

We all sit down on the pillows.

"Can I get you some tea r some of Aunt Wu's special bean curd puffs?" Meng asked

"I'll try a curd puff." Sokka said

"(Holds up index finger in gesture) just a second. (to Aang) So what's your name?" Meng asked

"Aang." Aang said

"That rhymes with Meng. And you've got some pretty big ears, don't you?" Meng said

"I guess." Aang said

"(waves hand in dismissal and jokes) Don't be modest. (Spreads arms outward in emphasis) they're huge." Sokka said

I hit Sokka in the back of his head.

"Don't be rude." I said

Meng begins to walk away.

"Well, Aang, it was very nice to meet you. Very nice." Meng said

"Likewise." Aang said

"I can't believe we're here in the house of nonsense." Sokka said

It hit Sokka in the back of his head again.

"Try to keep an open mind, Sokka. There are things in this world that just can't be explained. Wouldn't it be nice to have some insight into your future?" Katara asked

"It would be nice to have some bean curd puffs, and for Kida to stop hitting me." Sokka said

"I'll stop hitting you when you stop being an idiot." I said

Meng comes back into the room through a nearby hallway with a tray of bean curd buffs. A door in the hallway opens and a woman clad in green exits. She approaches Meng excitedly.

"Oh, Meng. Aunt Wu says I'm going to meet my true love. He's going to give me a rare panda lily." the woman said

"That's so romantic. (Dreamily, while casting Aang a flirtatious look.) I wonder if my true love will give me a rare flower." Meng said

"Good luck with that." Aang said

"Is that the big-eared guy who Aunt Wu predicted you'd marry?" the woman asked

I started to laugh. I look over at Meng who has an embarrassed by this statement, Meng pushes the woman aside and continues on her way to the other room. She approaches the us, her fixated on Aang, I look at Aang to see him staring off into space. She trips, Aang attempts to help her recover, accidentally holding her hands in his in the process. The two look at each other. I start laughing.

"Enjoy your snack." Meng said

She gets up and quickly leaves the room. I go to reach for one of the bean curd puffs, when an old lady walks into the room.

"Welcome, young travelers. Now, who's next? Don't be shy." Wu said

Sokka looks away uninterested and Aang casts a look at Katara.

"I guess that's me." Katara said

Katara gets up and leaves the room with Aunt Wu.

"Mm. not bad, not bad. Mhm?" Sokka said

"I'm good on puffs. So, what do you think they're talking about back there?" Aang asked

"Boring stuff I'm sure." Sokka said

"They are probably talking about. Love, who she's going to marry, how many children she's going to have." I said

"Yeah. Well, I've got to find a bathroom." Aang said

Aang gets up and leaves the room. Once he out of ear shot I turn and look at Sokka.

"You know he's not going to the bathroom." I said

"Yeah I know." Sokka said

A few minutes pass before Aang comes back into the room. When he enters the room he has a huge smile on his face.

"Looks like someone had a pretty good bathroom break." Sokka said

"Yeah…when I was in there…." Aang said

"I don't even want to know." Sokka said

I shake my head. A few more minutes pass before Aunt Wu comes back into the room with Katara.

"Who's next?" Wu asked

"Okay, let's get this over with." Sokka said

"You future is full of struggle and anguish. Most of it, self-inflicted." Wu said

"(holding up his hands in protest) But you didn't read my palms or anything." Sokka said

"I don't need to. It's written all over your face. (Points to me) You there, come with me." Wu said

I got up and followed her out of the room. We walked down a hallway then into her chamber. The chamber is a fairly spacious, dimly lit room. Four pillars support the ceiling and four cushions are situated in the center of the room, surrounding a small fire. Off tot eh side is a jug of bones. Aunt Wu and I approach the jug.

"This is the most reliable method of telling your fortune. The bone never lie. Go on, pick one. Now throw it on the fire. The heat makes cracks in the bone and I read the bone cracks to tell your destiny." Wu said

I do as I'm told. The bone cracks, splitting the bone in half.

"Wow, is that a good or bad?" I asked

"Depends let's look at it." Wu said

She picks up the bone and looks at it.

"I've never seen this before." Wu said

"So I take it, it's bad." I said

"Not really. It shows that you are spilt down the middle. You are in two worlds. Your heart and mind are spilt. Let me see your hands. ( showed her my hands) Your hands are different. The lines on each hand are completely different. Well except for your love line. It shows great love, but there will be obstacles, but it will be worth it. Your power lines are also very strong. But divide…" Wu said

"I can band two elements. Ice and fire…white fire." I said

Aunt Wu just looked at me for a few seconds.

"Can I see?" Aunt Wu asked

I nodded my head and I made a ball of white fire appear in my hand. Wu had a surprised look on her face.

"There is a old prophecy as old as the original Avatar. 'when the time comes and the world is in a turmoil that even the Avatar can't fix. They will be a girl born of both ice and fire. Who gifts will unlike another. She will be able to give life to ice make move come alive and protect. Her fire will be unlike any other, it will be hottest ever seen, but like her ice she will be able to give it life. Make it move and dance. And with this she will help the Avatar when.'." Wu said

"And you think this person is me?" I asked

Aunt Wu gave me this look like.

"So what if this person is me? What then?" I asked

"You embrace it. Let the power flow through you." Wu said

I nodded my head. We both stood up and left the room. We headed back to the sitting area. We entered the room Aang got up and followed Aunt Wu out of the room. I just sat down and thought about what Aunt Wu said. A few moments passed before Aang came back out into the room with a smile on his face. Once we has back we headed outside.

"Well, now you got to see for yourselves how fortune telling is just a big, stupid hoax." Sokka said

"You're just saying that because you're going to make yourself unhappy your whole life." Katara said

"That woman is crazy. My life will be calm and happy and joyful." Sokka said

Sokka roughly kicks a nearby stone, which soars into the air and comically ends up ricocheting off a hanging metal sign and striking the Sokka who had been standing with his arm crossed. He covered his head in pain and falls to the ground. I start laughing.

"That doesn't prove anything." Sokka said

"Well, I liked my predictions. Certain things are going to turn out very well." Katara said

"They sure are…" Aang said

"I wasn't to happy with mine. It was very confusing." I said

"Why? What did she tell you?" Katara asked

"Doesn't matter." I said

"Some stuff. You'll find out." Aang said

We start to walk away from each other. I decided to stick with Katara we walking through the village when we see everyone looking up at the sky.

"What's with the sky?" Katara asked

"We are waiting for Aunt Wu to come and read the clouds to predict the fate of the whole village." the calm man said

"That cloud kind of looks like a fluffy bunny." I said

"(Slightly worried) You better hope that's not a bunny! The fluffy bunny cloud forecasts doom and destruction." the calm man said

I stat laughing. The man just looks at me.

"Oh you were being serious." I said

"Do you even hear yourself?" Sokka asked

"(gesturing to the mountain) The cloud reading will tell us if Mt. Makapu will remain dormant for another year or if it will erupt." a village woman said

"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 twenty years ago, we have a tradition of not doing that." the calm man said

"I can't believe you would trust your lives to that crazy, old woman's superstition." Sokka said

"Shhh. She's coming." Katara said

Aunt Wu and her guard walk up, onto the ascending a staircase. The four of us stand by each other. The crowd starts clapping. Meng walks up and stands next to Aang.

"Hey, Aang. Don't you think that cloud looks like a flower?" Meng asked

"Huh? Sure, I guess. Hey, Katara, don't you think that cloud looks like a flower?" Aang asked

"Shh." Katara said

I look over at Aang to see a look of disappointment at being hushed. Aunt Wu spreads her arms outward dramatically. We look up at the sky, there is an arrow-shaped cloud hovering above us. I look at Aunt Wu to see her looking at a cloud reading book in her hand.

"Bending arrow cloud…good crops this year. Nice big harvest." Aunt Wu said

"Darn good news." a farmer said

"Wavy, moon-shaped cloud…let's see. Gonna be a great year for twins." Wu said

"Yes." said a set of twins named Poi and Ping

"And a cumulus cloud with a twisted nod coming off the end of it…(spreads arms outward again) the village will not be destroyed by the volcano this year." Wu said

Crowd around us cheers ecstatically.

"Since I got you here, uh, there's something I want to tell you. I like you, but more than normal." Aang said

I heard what Aang said to Katara but from the look of things Katara did not. She is to enthralled with Aunt Wu and her predictions, and the runs off to follow the fortuneteller, clearly paying no attention to Aang.

"Never mind." Aang said crushed

I turned and looked over at Aang.

"Don't take it to heart. She gets like this sometimes." I said

Aang nodded his head. We head to go find Sokka. We see him by Aunt Wu's building. We walk up to him.

"I can't believe all these saps. Someone really needs to scream some sense into them." Sokka said

"Good luck with that." I said

"They seem happy, Sokka." Aang said

"Not for long, I'm going to prove Aunt Wu's predictions are nonsense. (Pulls over a man standing nearby) Hey you, I bet Aunt Wu told you to wear those red shoes, didn't she?" Sokka asked

"Yeah. She said I'd be wearing red shoes when I met my true love." the man said

"Uh huh…and how many times have you worn those shoes since you got that fortune?" Sokka asked

"Every day." the man said

"Really?" I asked

"Then of course it's gonna come true." Sokka said

"Really? You think so? I'm so excited." The man said

In a fit of anger, Sokka kicks a nearby stone, it flies and hits a turkey duck, which flies over and attacks Sokka. Sokka crouches over and tries to ward off the bird.

"I think that's universe 3, Sokka 0." I said

"How is it 3?" Sokka asked

"Egg this morning, the stone that him in the forehead, and now the turkey duck." I said

"Yup that is the correct count." Aang said

Aang and I are standing with Sokka, who is clearly ready to lose his mind, holding his hands up to his head in frustration.

"I don't care what Aunt Wu told you. You have to take a bath sometime." Sokka said

Sokka is currently talking to a middle-aged man covered in dirt and grime from head to toe. The man shrugs, grunts a bit and walks off smiling.

"So, Sokka, you know some stuff about ladies, right?" Aang asked

"Aang I don't think you should be asking Sokka about ladies." I said

Sokka glared at me, and put a hand on Aang's shoulder.

"Some stuff? You've come to the right place. What can I do you for?" Sokka asked

"Well, there's this girl." Aang said

I look over Aang's shoulder to see Meng looking at us.

"I think you know who you mean." Sokka said

"No I don't think you do." I said

"You do? And you're okay with it?" Aang asked

"Of course I am. And to tell you the truth, I've been picking up a subtle vibe that she likes you, too." Sokka said

"She does?" Aang asked

"Oh, yeah, she's crazy about you. All you have to do now is not mess it up." Sokka said

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

"You stop asking for help from Sokka." I said

Sokka once again glared at me and with his other hand pushed.

"The number one mistake nice guys like you make: being too nice." Sokka said

"You can be too nice?" Aang asked

"Yep. If you want to keep her interested, you have to act aloof like you don't really care one way or the other." Sokka said

"Well, okay…" Aang said

Aang walks away. I turn to Sokka.

"Just to clarify who do you think he was talking about?" I asked

"That Meng girl." Sokka said

I just shake my head and left to go find Aang. I see him walking towards Aunt Wu's building. I head towards him but when I see Meng I stop.

"Hey, Aang, I was wondering…" Meng said

"See you later…" Aang says

He walks away casually and waves his hand breezily. I follow behind Aang once he gets near Aunt Wu's door he leans against the wall. I see the door open and a clearly impatient Wu shoving Katara out the door. A couple of idle Turkey ducks scramble away.

"And you'll be fine as long as you've got a scarf. Bye-bye now." Wu said

"Okay, okay, but one more thing." Katara said

Aunt Wu looks horrified at Katara before sighing and leaning forward in surrender.

"All right, what is it?" Wu said

"Should I eat a mango or a papaya for breakfast tomorrow?" Katara asked

"Papaya." Wu says angrily then slams the door.

"Aww, I hate papaya." Katara said

Katara walks past Aang who is slumped against the wall, trying to act aloof on Sokka's horrible advice.

"Oh, hey, Katara. I didn't see you there." Aang said

"Hey, Aang." Katara said half-heartedly

"That's okay. I'm busy with my own stuff." Aang said

Aang stands idly before a turkey duck flies over and lands near him. After a brief moment of looking at each other the duck quacks. We go to find Katara. We see her at a fruit stand.

"Ugh, papaya please." Katara said

Aang walks over to Katara.

"So…papaya." Aang said

"Uh huh. Would you like some?" Katara asked

"(Causally, picking an apple from the stand) You know me. I don't really care what I eat." Aang said

"Okay then. See you later." Katara said

Katara walks away.

"Aang I thought you hated apples." I said

Aang bites into the apple only to spit out the contents in disgust.

"I do, maybe aloof isn't my style." Aang said

Aang looks over at a man and the woman sees in Aunt Wu's building earlier, the man had just given the woman a flower.

"Kida what was the name of that flower?" Aang asked

"Panda lily." I said

Momo fly's over to us.

"Did you see that?" Aang asked

Aang quickly moves over the couple who are still hugging. He pushes them apart.

"Excuse me. Where can a guy fond one of those things?" Aang asked

The man answers the question. Aang smiles grabs my wrists and pulls me behind him. We got to find Sokka. Once we find Aang drags him along as well.. We head up Mt. Makapu to the top which is where we the panda lily's are.

"I can't believe you're dragging Kida and I all the way up here for a stupid flower." Sokka said

"Not just any flower, a panda lily, I've seen it in action and boy, does it work." Aang said

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

"And that right there is why you are never going to get married." I said

Sokka glared at me.

"But my heart is telling me to get this flower. (He looks up towards the rim of the mountain) and Aunt Wu said id I trusted un my heart, I will be with the one I love." Aang said

"What? Don't tell me you believe in that stuff, too." Sokka said

Aang sits down on a boulder.

"Well, Aunt Wu hasn't been wrong yet. Why should she be wrong about love? (jumps upward and points in delight at the rim) There. On the rim." Aang said

Aang runs up the short distance to the rim of the volcano. Sokka and I move towards him. He is frozen in place looking down at the volcano. When we get to his side we see why he is frozen.

"Oh no. Aunt Wu was wrong." Aang said

The panda lily that was in his hand floats down and sinks into the lava, a flame appears in its wake. We all look down at the lava.

"Those people all think they're safe. We've got to warn them." Sokka said

"There's no to walk." Aang said

Aang whips out his glider.

"Grab on." Aang said

"I got my own way down." I said

Aang nodded his head. Sokka grabbed onto Aang and they used Aang's glider to get down the mountain. I make a slid out of ice, and slid down the hill, once I get to the bottom the ice slid disappeared. Aang and Sokka land next to me, we quickly run and find Katara.

"Hi, Katara." Aang said

"Can you believe she won't let me in? And after all the business I've given her?" Katara asked

"But she doesn't even charge." I said

"I know, but still…" Katara said

"Well, we have other things to worry about. Aunt Wu was wrong about the volcano." Sokka said

"Sokka, you tried to convince me she was wrong before. It's going to take an awful lot to change my mind-" Katara said

Katara eyes widen in surprise and she lurches forward suddenly as the volcano rumbles violently. We all look up at the volcano.

"Oh no." Katara said

We head to the courtyard where the villagers have come together.

"Everyone, that volcano is gonna blow any second. Aunt Wu was wrong." Sokka yelled urgently

"Yeah, yeah, we know you don't believe in Aunt Wu, Mr. Science and reason lover." a village woman said

"If you won't listen to him, maybe you'll listen to me. I want to believe Aunt Wu and her predications as much as you do, but my brother and Aang and Kida saw the lava with their own eyes." Katara said

"Well, I heard Aunt Wu's prediction with my own ears." the clam man said

"(Leaps onto the awning of a nearby building) Please listen to us. You are all in danger. And we have to get out of here. You can't rely on Aunt Wu's prediction, you have to take fate into your hands." Aang said

Another rumble is heard from the volcano. The villagers are mildly alarmed.

"Look. (Points to the volcano) Can your fortune telling explain that?" Sokka asked

Smoke is rising from the top of the volcano.

"Can your science explain why it rains?" the man in the red shoes asked

"Yes. Yes, it can." Sokka said

The villagers walk away, oblivious to the danger.

"They just won't listen to reason." Katara said

"But the will listen to Aunt Wu." I said

"I know that's the problem." Sokka said

"No, it's the solution." I said

"She's right. We're taking fate in our own hands. First, I need to borrow Aunt Wu's cloud reading book." Aang said

Sokka and Katara, who stand in front of Aunt's Wu's building, trying to act casual. Aang and I are on the rooftop. He jumps down onto the porch of highest story. He makes his way to Aunt Wu's chamber. He goes through the drawers.

I stuck my head though the window.

"Did you find it?" I asked

"Shhh. We don't want anyone to hear us." Aang said

Aang continues to snoop about, his back facing the door. He looks up to see Meng's reflection in the mirror hanging over the dresser. He turns around, stands up straight.

"Oh, I didn't see you there." Aang said

"You don't like me, do you?" Meng asked

"Of course I like you." Aang said

"But not the way I like you." Meng said

"Oh, I guess not." Aang said

"It's okay. It's just really hard when you like someone, but they don't think of you that way." Meng said

"I know what you mean." Aang said

"She's beautiful, by the way." Meng said

"Huh?" Aang asked

"The water tribe girl, the one with brown hair. I can see why you like her so much. She's sweet, she's a bender, and her hair seems so manageable. " Meng said

"Don't worry. You're going to meet a great guy who's going to completely fall for you. I know it." Aang said

"Thanks. Wait. Don't you want this?" Meng asked

Aang looks surprised, Meng hands him the cloud reading book, revealing she had it in her possession. I entered the room.

"How did you know?" Aang asked

"I've kind of been stalking you. Heh…" Meng said

"Oh, thanks…I guess." Aang said

I grab the cloud book and leave the room, Aang walks in behind me. Once we get outside we get onto Appa. We fly into the sky. Aang, Katara, and I are on him. Aang is at the reins and Katara and I are sitting on his saddle.

"Clouds are made of water and air, so between the three of us, we ought to be able to bend them into any shape we want." Aang said

Katara and I were looking through Aunt Wu's cloud book.

"We found it…" Katara started

"…the symbol for volcanic doom." I finished

Katara turns to book around, but keeps her hand placed on the image for volcanic doom. We stand up and start to shape the clouds into that of the volcanic doom. Once the symbol has been formed, we quickly land and run to the square. Sokka is standing with Aunt Wu.

"Aunt Wu, look. Something is happening in the clouds." Sokka said

"That's very strange. It shouldn't…" Wu starts

A shadow falls over the square and the sky darkens, suddenly terrified.

"Oh my." Wu said

We look up to see the new skull-shaped cloud that we formed. The volcano starts to spewing smoke into the air. Aang runs to the front of the crowd.

"We still can save the village if we act fast." Aang said

Aang motions to Sokka who is standing on the pagoda.

"Sokka has a plan." Aang said

"Lava is gonna flow downhill to this spot. If we can dig a deep enough trench we can channel all the lava away from the village to the river." Sokka said

"If any of you are earthbenders, come with me." Aang said

The twins from earlier move towards the front.

"I'm an earthbender." Poi said

"I'm not." Ping said

"Everybody else grab a shovel." Sokka said

An explosion sounds and the volcano erupts again.

"Come on! We've got to hurry." I yelled

The crowd disperses very fast, now desperate to put Sokka's plan into action. We are all moving very fast, the trench begins to form. We continue to dig the trench, using both bending and manual means. Two earthbenders, make earthbending motions with their arms and legs. There are another pair who move boulders out of their way. Appa is transporting loose boulders from the trench. Using a net attached to his body. An explosion makes us stop and look at volcano which is now throwing lava.

"Dig faster. Dig Faster." Sokka said

"I'll try to slow it down." I said

Sokka goes to protest but I'm already gone. I throw up a wall of ice. I turn my head to look back at the others.

"I don't know how long the ice can hold." I said

I see Poi, who runs and sweeps his arms forward. A torrent of boulders is cleared and sent down the river as Poi creates a channel towards the river.

"Everyone needs to evacuate! We'll come for you when it's safe." Aang said

Everyone runs. The volcano continues to spew lava. I can see my ice wall cracking, a few seconds later my ice walls break and get thrown back. The lava burns through the village gate. Lava, passing through the cemetery, destroys headstones as it flows. The lava reaches the trench and begins to fill rapidly, , its progress temporarily stopped.

"It's not big enough it's going to overflow." I said

Another explosion rocks the village. Burning rocks begin to rain down in addition to the ash. Katara and Sokka begin to run for safety, but stop and turn. A huge boulder falls out of the sky and lands in the trench, exploding. Aang and I run forward. Aang propels himself into the air and begins airbending. I used my ability to bend fire to push the lava backwards. It wasn't pushing anything back as much as it was keeping it in place. Aang blows the lava straight up, not allowing it to advance on the village. I stop bending, the lava. Aang draws in a mighty intake of breath and expels it, airbending it as it exits, cooling all the lava to stone. We head back to the square. The towns people are back in the town square. A tall, jagged wall-;like formation of cooled lava towers over the square. Aang now stands in front of Aunt Wu, offering her back the cloud book he took.

"By the way, we kind of burrowed your book." Aang said

"So you messed with the clouds, did you?" Wu asked

Wu grabs the book in anger while Katara looks guilty and Sokka smiles and points at Katara and I, indicating that we had a part in the cloud manipulation.

"Very clever." Wu said while laughing in amusement

"No offense, but I hope this taught everyone a lesson about not relying too much on fortune telling." Sokka said

"But Aunt Wu predicted the village wouldn't be destroyed and it wasn't. She was right, after all." the calm man said

"(Gets in the calm's face, through gritted teeth.) I hate you." Sokka said

Katara and I move, we each put one hand on one of his shoulders. We lead him away from the calm man.

"It's okay, Sokka." I said

"Everything's going to be all right." Katara said

I left Katara to deal Sokka, while went to look for Aang. I saw him talking to Aunt Wu.

"Can I ask you something?" Aang asked

"Of course, honey." Wu said

"You didn't really see love in my fortune, did you? You just told me what I wanted to hear." Aang asked disappointed

"I'll tell you a little secret, young airbender. (Gestures to the sky) Just as you reshaped those clouds, you have the power to shape your own destiny." Wu said

I see Aang smiles. He then bounces off towards Appa. I go to follow but Aunt Wu walks up to me.

"What I told you about the prophecy is true. But just like with the young airbender, you also have the power to shape your own destiny." Wu said

I nodded my head. I followed after Aang. We all climb onto Appa. Meng walks up in front of Appa, Aang airbenders himself onto Appa's saddle, Katara is at the reins.

"Goodbye everyone. It was so nice to meet you. Take care, Meng." Katara said

"(waving) Take care. (Appa turns away. Meng's face, whose smile disappears and is replaced by a frown) Floozy." Meng said

We are high in the sky.

"Well that was fun. So are you guys always getting into life threatening situations?" I asked

"Seems like it." Katara said

"Great, just great." I said
