Amity's Intro
Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years passed, and me, Willow and Gus discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Luz. and although her airbending skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone.
But I believe Luz can save the world.
The episode opens to a body of water, a small ferry cruising through the ocean. The head of a large sea lion emerges from the water and the creature is shown to be pulling the boat.

(Cut to a closer view of Lilith and Lai. Angrily.) "Doing nothing is a waste of time." (Rises from her seat next to Lai.) "We're being sent away on a forced vacation." (Walks over and grips the railing of the boat.) "I feel like a child." Lilith said

Cut to a close-up of a campfire. The picture of the Royal Family is thrown into the fire. Cut to a close-up of Lilith in the picture as it begins to burn.
"What are you doing?" Ky Mee asked
(Frontal view.) "What does it look like I'm doing?" Lilith asked
(Close-up aerial view of Lilith standing next to the fire.) "But, it's a painting of your family." Ky Mee said
(The camera pans up to Lilith's face, angrily.) "You think I care?" Lilith asked
(Off-camera.) "I think you do." Ky Mee said
"You don't know me, so why don't you just mind your own business?" Lilith asked (Walks away.)
(Close-up. Scoffs.) "I know you." Ky Mee said
(Frontal view.) "No, you don't." (Close-up.) "You're stuck in your little 'Ky Mee world' where everything's great all the time." Lilith said
"Lilith," (Frontal view.) "leave her alone." Lai said

"Here we go." Kikimora said
(Aerial view of the camp site.) "Do you have any idea what my home life was like?" (Frontal view.) "Growing up with six sisters who look exactly like me?" (She stands.) "It was like I didn't even have my own name." (Side-view. Kneels down, crying.) "I joined the circus" (Close-up side-view.) "because I was scared of spending the rest of my life as part of a matched set. At least I'm different now." (Frontal view, she lifts her head, angrily.) "'Circus freak' is a compliment." Ky Mee said
(Frontal view.) "Guess that explains why you need ten boyfriends, too." Lai said
(Frontal view from over Lai's shoulder, balls her hands into fists and points them on her hips.) "I'm sorry, what?" Ky Mee asked
(Frontal view.) "Attention issues. You couldn't get enough attention when you were a kid, so you're trying to make up for it now." Lai said
(Close-up.) "Well, what's your excuse, Lai? You were an only child for fifteen years, but even with all that attention, your aura is this dingy, pasty, gray …" Ky Mee didn't finish
(Frontal view.) "I don't believe in auras." Lai said
(Camera pans right. Getting up.) "Yeah, you do not believe in anything." Lilith said
(Close-up, sarcastically.) "Oh, well, I'm sorry I can't be as high-strung and crazy as the rest of you." Lai said
(Aerial view of the campsite. Walking up to the campfire.) "I'm sorry, too. I wish you would be high-strung and crazy for once instead of keeping all your feelings bottled up inside." (Frontal view.) "She just called your aura dingy. Are you gonna take that?" Lilith asked
(Aerial view of the campsite. Leaning back.) "What do you want from me? You want a teary confession about how hard my childhood was? Well, it wasn't." (Close-up.) "I was a rich only child who got anything I wanted ... as long as I behaved" (Cut to a shot of the sky.) "and sat still, and didn't speak unless spoken to." (Close-up of Lilith.) "My mother said I had to keep out of trouble. We had my dad's political career to think about." Lai said
(Side-view of the campsite.) "Well, that's it, then." (Close-up.) "You have a controlling mother who had certain expectations, and if you strayed from them, you were shut down. That's why you're afraid to care about anything, and why you can't express yourself." Kikimora said
(Frontal view.) "You want me to express myself?" (Stands up and yells.) "Leave me alone!" Lai yelled
(Side-view of the campsite. Frontal view of Lilith.) "I like it when you express yourself." Lilith said (Approaching, attempting to put a hand on her shoulder.)
(Frontal view.) "Don't touch me! I'm still mad at you." Lai said (She sits.)
(Side-view of Lai.) "My life hasn't been that easy either, Lai." Lilith said
"Whatever. That doesn't excuse the way you've been acting." Lai said
"Calm down, you guys." (Frontal view of her and Kikimora.) "This much negative energy is bad for your skin. You'll totally break out." Ky Mee said
"Bad skin?" (Frontal view.) "Normal people worry about bad skin. I don't have that luxury." (Leaning forward.) "My mentor decided to teach me a permanent lesson on my face!" Lilith said (Points to her scar.)
(Frontal view of Kikimora and Ky Mee from behind Lilith. Apologetically.) "Sorry, Lilith, I …" Ky Mee didn't get to say
(Turning around.) "For so long I thought that if my dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now, the Fire Emperor talks to me. Ha! He even thinks I'm a hero." (Close-up of Kikimora, who smiles.) "Everything should be perfect, right?" (Aerial view of the campsite.) "I should be happy now, but I'm not." (Turning back to the others.) "I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!" Lilith said
(Frontal view.) "There's a simple question you need to answer, then. Who are you angry at?" Kikimora asked
(Close-up.) "No one. I'm just angry." Lilith said
(Side-view of the three girls.) "Yeah, who are you angry at, Lilith?" Lai asked
(Close-up.) "Everyone. I don't know." Lilith said (Becoming frustrated.)
(Frontal view.) "Is it the Fire Emperor?" Kikimora asked
(Close-up.) "No, no." Lilith said
(Frontal view.) "Your ex-lieutenant?" Ky Mee asked
"Me?" Kikimora asked
(Close-up.) "No, no, n-no, no!" Lilith said
(Close-up.) "Then who? Who are you angry at?" Lai asked
(Camera pans left, past Ky Mee, to Kikimora.) "Answer the question, Lilith." Kikimora said
(Close-up.) "Talk to us." Ky Mee said
(Extreme close-up.) "Come on, answer the question." Lai said
"Come on, answer it." Kikimora said
(Frontal view from behind the girls. Losing it now, furiously.) "I'm angry at myself!" Lilith yelled

"Why?" Kikimora asked
(Close-up.) "Because I'm confused. Because I'm not sure I know the difference between right and wrong anymore." Lilith said
"You're pathetic." Kikimora said
(View from behind Lilith.) "I know one thing I care about." (Walks up to Lilith. Frontal view.) "I care about you." Lai said (They kiss.)
(Claps. Camera zooms out to show her as Lai and Lilith turn.) "Well, those were wonderful performances, everyone." Kikimora said
(Frontal view.) "I guess you wouldn't understand, would you, Kikimora?" (She puts an arm around Lai.) "Because you're just so perfect." Lilith said
(Frontal view.) "Well, yes, I guess you're right. I don't have sob stories like all of you. I could sit here and complain how your mom liked Lilith more than me, but I don't really care." (Gazes into the fire. Close-up view of the fire pit.) "My own mother" (Close-up.) "thought I was a monster." (Close-up of Lilith and Lai. Close-up of Ky Mee. Side-view of the campsite. After a momentary pause.) "She was right, of course, but it still hurt." Kikimora said
"What Lo and Li said came true. The beach did help us learn about ourselves." (She picks up a rock and rubs it, smiling. Close-up.) "I feel all smoothed. I'll always remember this." Ky Mee said
(Side-view of the campsite. Standing up.) "You know what would make this trip really memorable?" Kikimora asked
Cut to a close-up of Kikimora. Cut to Chan's front door opening to reveal Chan.

She jumps off screen and the second one falls too. Cut to a close-up of Chan, in tears and with mucus draining from his nose, as Kikimora smiles behind him. Fade to a painted picture of the foursome smiling, arms around each other, with a roaring fire in the background.
