Last time, Katara and Sokka were heading home with the boy they found in an iceberg next to a large bison.
CUT TO:
EXT. SOUTH POLE WATER TRIBE VILLAGE – EVENING
Katara and Sokka come back into the same Eskimo village as seen in the first Scene. Many of the villagers shy away from the large animal, but Gran-gran comes out of her tent/home and sees the children. She goes running up to them. She seems shocked at the boy they've brought back. On her signal, several people rush forward to take him away and care for him.
GRAN-GRAN
You returned earlier than expected.
(She glances after the boy)
And with such strange travelers?
(She looks back at Katara and Sokka)
Tell me everything. Then we will go to the other Elders.
Katara nods enthusiastically. Sokka doesn't share her enthusiasm.
CUT TO:
INT. SOUTH POLE WATER TRIBE HOME
Katara enters a tent, and finds Aang awake and just finishing dressing.
KATARA
(Blushes slightly)
Oh, sorry.
AANG
It's okay.
He smiles brightly at her.
KATARA
Well, we never introduced ourselves. The paranoid boy you met earlier is my older brother Sokka. I'm Katara.
AANG
(Bows deeply)
Thank you for rescuing me. I'm sorry to be a burden.
KATARA
Oh no! You're not!
SOKKA
(Enters the tent behind her)
Yeah he is. It's hard enough to find enough food for the village, let alone lost travelers. You're really lucky we found you.
Katara shoots a dirty look at her brother.
AANG
Yes, I am.
(He bows again)
I'm very grateful.
KATARA
I've never seen clothes like those before. Where do you come from?
AANG
The Southern Air Temple.
Katara and Sokka both look utterly shocked, and do a double take.
KATARA
You're an Air Bender?
AANG
Yeah.
He smiles a happy,innocent smile full of pride.
SOKKA
I don't believe it!
Aang looks confused.
SOKKA
If you're an Air Bender, prove it!
KATARA
Sokka!
AANG
Very well.
He takes a stance, and then breathes deeply. As Katara and Sokka watch, he begins to perform a dance-like move that sweeps through the air. Suddenly a wind blows by Sokka and Katara, ruffling their hair and clothes, as well as the tent flaps. Every candle in the room goes out, leaving them in relative darkness.
He finishes and turns back to face them. Both of them are staring at him with slack jaws. Katara recovers first.
KATARA
You are! You really are an air bender!
(She runs up to him and grabs his hands)
Then maybe you know what happened to the Avatar!
AANG
(Suddenly looks uncomfortable)
Um...no. Not really.
KATARA
(Her face falls)
Oh.
AANG
(Still looking uncomfortable)
I have taken advantage of your hospitality for too long as it is. I will-
A shout from outside catches their attention.
PERSON 1
A Fire Nation ship! A Fire Nation ship! Sound the alarm!
Panic immediately erupts outside as bells start ringing.
PERSON 2
Keep the children safe!
KATARA
No...
SOKKA
(Grabs Katara and looks her in the eye.)
Take him somewhere safe, and you stay there too.
KATARA
No!
Sokka releases her, and looks taken aback.
KATARA
I'm not just going to sit around while my village is in danger!
SOKKA
Well he'll put the village in more danger!
(He gestures angrily to Aang)
Take him somewhere! Hurry!
Sokka hurries outside, heading towards the front of the village.
CUT TO:
EXT. SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE – MORNING
Katara leads Aang outside, and into a snowfall of black ash and scrambling people. She looks after Sokka angrily, then glances up fearfully at the black ash before taking Aang's arm.
KATARA
This way! Hurry!
Aang, looking worried, follows her. She leads him to a tent where a woman pushes a child through just before they get there. Katara turns around and grabs his hood, drawing it up and over his head.
KATARA
Aang, stay here. I'm going to go find Gran-gran.
She pushes him half-way through the tent flap before he can say anything, then runs off.
AANG
But-
He realizes that it's no use, and looks out of the tent flap after her for a moment before retreating into the tent.
CUT TO:
INT. FIRE NATION SHIP BRIDGE ROOM – MORNING
Bridge room is mostly made of metal with several pipes and control panels, knobs and wheels. One person stands at the helm. Next to him stand two men, one older and without a helmet, one younger with a helmet. The younger one has a very obvious burn scar over his left eye.
The older man speaks softly, a touch of worry to his voice and in his eyes as he gazes at the teenager.
IROH
Why are we coming to search this village? We have already been here. What makes you think the Avatar has surfaced here now?
The younger man speaks with a harsh, cold tone and his eyes remain thoroughly fixed on the village they're approaching.
ZUKO
This is the nearest civilization. The light I saw earlier was him. I know it.
IROH
How, Prince Zuko?
ZUKO
(Speaks through gritted teeth)
I just do! Now, he has to get his food somewhere. The villagers will know!
IROH
Even if they do know, why would they give him away, especially if he's remained hidden all these years?
ZUKO
(Darkly)
I'll make them talk if I have to.
Iroh sighs and looks out the window at the village and the assembling troops below, all in dark black and red armor.
Sorry it's so short, guys, but I don't have a whole lot of time. However, I will have time shortly, so please send reviews!
