Zuko wakes up and looks out the window. The memory of what was and what started it all, he said. He could see the sun just barely over the horizon with some pink clouds surrounding it. "Good morning my nephew! Do you want some juk and tea?" Iroh said smiling at the tea part. "Ew uncle, juk...wow." Zuko gets back to looking at the window (A/N-Juk is actually really good xD). "Alright, suit yourself. Well, in a few minutes, the ship is going to dock at a village so I will get off and get some more food and tea:D and maybe play a game a Pai Sho!" Iroh walked out of the room and Zuko just scoffs. Even if it's morning and the breeze is coming in, Zuko still feels a bit tired and right when he is about to close his eyes again, he sees the Avatar's bison. Zuko stands up suddenly "THE BISON!" he yelled and he fell. "UNCLE!" he ran and almost tripped a few times but finally got to his uncle. "Uncle! I just saw the bison!" "What? c'mon! I really want to play Pai Sho," "You can do that later uncle! Now lets go!" Zuko then ordered the captain to head east, the direction the bison was heading to. They follow the bison to another small village and a few minutes later, they leave and Zuko, follows them. They arrive at an island and Zuko gets his men ready to ambush the Avatar and friends. Probably 10 minutes later, Zuko sees Katara walking out towards the water and sees her with Sokka and Toph. He listens to their conversation:
Katara- So Toph, how's Aang's earthbending?
Toph- He's doing great, how's his waterbending?
Katara- He seems to be doing better than me haha
Toph- Haha let's go TwinkleToes!
Sokka- You know, whose going to be his firebending teacher?
Katara- Oh. Jeong Jeong could be...
Sokka- We won't find him on time though...
Katara- And every firenation person is going to want to kill us...
Sokka- we should talk to Aang about this, let's go
Katara- you guys go ahead, I'm going to practice my water-bending
Sokka and Toph nod their heads and they walk into the forest
Zuko heard the conversation, well at least up to the point where they talk about wanting a firebending teacher. Zuko hatches a plan and he sneaks up behind Katara. But right before he could grab her, he sees someone approaching and all he could do is think of another plan. And fast!
