[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Episode opens with an early morning scene that begins with a wide shot of a shoreline. The shore is largely composed of cliffs that drop shear into the sea. The tops of the cliffs in the foreground are forested, those in the background are grass covered. The shot tilts down to reveal Appa, Katara and Sokka asleep. The water tribe siblings each sleep atop a large tree stump.

Cut to a view from inside Sokka's mouth. Sokka breathes heavily with his mouth wide open. A spider has built a web in his open mouth and sits patiently at its center.

_

Everyone: ewwwww.

Zuko: why is that in your mouth.

Sokka: I don't know.

_

A moment later, Momo's face appears. His ears stand straight up on his head and he chitters as he sees the spider. He blinks. Shift to a quick profile view of Momo standing up on his hind legs, beginning to lean forward toward Sokka, who is drooling out of the side of his mouth. Cut to Momo's p.o.v.; the camera closes in on the web as a fly enters the frame and lands on the web. The spider moves to get the fly.

Cut back to the profile shot of Momo and Sokka, where Momo cocks back his hand, and the shoves it into Sokka's mouth. Sokka's eyes bug out. Cut to a shot from Sokka's chest looking forward. Sokka lifts his head, chucking Momo over his face and at the camera. He disappears from the frame, leaving an irate Sokka.)

: (spitting and startled) What are you doing in my mouth!

_

Everyone except sokka: chuckles.

Toph: getting the spider and the fly.

Aang: momo did that to eat it.

suki: yea he did eat it after getting it.

Everyone's face looked semi-deisgusted.

_

: Momo, you need to be a little more sensitive to my boundaries.

(As Sokka speaks, Momo hears something that isn't Sokka. He flips upright, chitters and jumps on Sokka's face and then out of the frame. Cut to a brief wide shot of the camp, then a shot of Aang sleeping on Appa. A galloping sounds is heard from o.c. as Aang awakes. He looks off screen in horror.)

_

suki: oh no. That does not sound good.

_

(he camera pans right at very high speed creating a rushing effect. It stops on a patch of open ground nearby. A Fire Nation war rhinoceros jumps into the screen and lands with a ponderous "thud." Atop the beast a Fire Nation soldier rides. Cut to Katara, halfway out of her sleeping bag. She gasps, then cut to another rhino emerging from the brush. Cut to a muscular, cruel looking soldier atop one of the rhinos. He wears a nose ring and a short sleeve uniform.)

: Give up! You're completely surrounded!

_

zuko: the rough rhinos.

aang: yup.

_

(As he speaks, cut to a wide, overhead shot of the camp. The camera zooms back at high speed to reveal four rhinos circling Appa and the kids. Cut to a shot of a long haired Fire Nation archer with three flaming arrows on his bow. He fires them. )

(Cut to Sokka, still in his sleeping bag, moving in earthworm type fashion. )

_

suki: why are you still in the sleeping bag?!!!

Sokka: I panicked!!!

Toph: that does'nt seem like panicking.

Sokka: well. I was so in panic that I didn't know what to do

_

(The three arrows pin the end of the sleeping bag to ground. Sokka frees himself and runs out of the frame. Cut to a shot from above Aang who sits in Appa's drivers seat. In front of him, Sokka and Katara run into the frame towards Appa.)

: Come on, come on, come on!

(Cut to a frontal shot of Katara running towards the camera. Her eyes widen and she stops. She turns to look at the tree stump behind her as a rhino passes by in the background.)

: My scrolls!

_

toph: just leave them its just paper.

Katara: i can't just leave them. They are my waterbending scrolls.

Toph: so? your a master aren't you.

Katara: they aren't for me. they are more for aang.

toph: oh yea twinkletoes.

_

(The rhino stops at the stump and its rider twirls a halberd and then plants it into the stump. Cut to Aang, who leans forward with a look of alarm on his face, as Sokka crawls up onto Appa in the background.)

: My staff!

(His face twisting in anger, Aang jumps airbends himself off Appa and out of the frame.

Cut to a frontal shot of a determined Katara running at the camera as it zooms backwards, keeping her in the frame. She opens her water skin as she runs and bends a jet of water o.c. Cut to a shot of the tree stump. )

(The water enters the frame and hardens to ice around the soldier's halberd. Tilt up to reveal the surprised Fire Nation soldier, then cut a shot from the soldier's p.o.v. looking down as Katara scoops up the box of scrolls on the stump and runs out of the frame. Cut to a wider shot as Katara runs o.c. with the box hugged to her chest. )

_

suki: nice. That was close.

katara: yeah.

_

(In the background, the soldier breaks the ice and retrieves his weapon.

_

Toph: ha too late.

_

( Cut to a masked Fire Nation soldier for a second, then to a close up of his hand and belt. He snaps his fingers, removing a cap from a dynamite like stick, one of many, on his belt. Removing the cap seemingly lights a wick. )

(He throws the device. Cut to Aang arriving at his staff as the bomb drops into the frame next to him. He sees it, and with a grimace and twirl of his staff his bats it deeper into the forest. )

_

suki: phew that was close.

aang: way too close.

toph: why did you still have to do all that twirling before hitting it.

aang: uh I don't know. For style

Toph: why would you need style. if you didn't hit it in time you would've been bye bye.

Aang: true but i wasn't. 😁😁😁

_

(He airbends out of the frame and it explodes in the background.)

Cut to a wide shot of Appa surrounded by the four rhinos once more. In the foreground on a rock, close to the camera's p.o.v, Colonel Mongke's rhino sits looking down at the battle. Aang lands atop Appa.)

: Yip, yip!

(With a flap of his tail, Appa takes off. Cut to Colonel Mongke, who fires a blast of flame at Appa's retreating figure. Cut to Katara, Sokka and Momo in Appa's saddle. They duck as the fireball passes overhead.)

: Ahhh!

: Wait, my boomerang!

_

toph (said sarcasticlly): oh no the boomerang

sokka: my boomerang 😢😢😢. OH what dark times what dark times.

_

(Cut to a spinning, zooming backward shot of Sokka's boomerang still on the ground below.)

: There's no time!

: Oh, I see. There's time to get your scrolls and time to get your staff, but no time for my boomerang?

: (cheerfully) That's correct!

: (resigned) Oh.

_

toph: hahaha. that was pretty funny.

suki: sorry sokka but katara is right there was no more time.

sokka: 😤😤

_

_

(Cut to a shot from near Colonel Mongke's shoulder. He looks out over the scene below and Appa flying away in the distance. He turns and looks off camera with an angry expression.

_

suki: ooh he angry.

_

Screen fades to a pan right shot of a daytime scene. A walled town lies nearby. A trail leads to it out of the forest on the right of the screen. On the other side the town abuts a cliff that looks over the ocean. In the foreground, Appa has landed in a forest clearing near the trail that leads to town. A small building is also nearby.)

: (initially from o.c.) Sorry about your boomerang, Sokka.

(As Aang speaks, cut to the kids inside the town. Katara is talking to a vendor in a stall behind Aang and Sokka, who is sitting on the ground, mourning the loss of his boomerang. Aang wear's a coolie hat to hide his tattoo.)

: I feel like I've lost part of my identity. Imagine if you lost your arrow, or if Katara lost her... (cut to Katara, looking confused) ... hair loopies.

_

sokka: yea what if zuko lost his scar or if suki lost her....... i don't know. or what if toph lost her big bun thing.

Zuko: well I wouldn't mind that much if my scar magically just disappeared.

Sokka: ok but that scar is how you became you and so was boomerang for me.😢😢😢

_

(Sokka walks over to the stall, where Katara hugs him. The merchant puts a basket of food on the counter.)

: Here's your produce, ponytail guy.

: (picks up basket, then, dejected) I used to be boomerang guy...

_

toph: yea ponytail guy is zuko.

Zuko: hey i don't have that ponytail anymore.

toph: yea but still.

_

(Katara pays the nice merchant.)

(scene ends at 1:16)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

: (surprised) Hey, Water Tribe money.

: I hope that's okay.

: So long as it's money.

_

toph: wow that guy was reasonable.

suki: yea. pretty surprising.

katara: yea lucky for us.

_

(closes shop and begins to walk away) Have a nice Avatar Day!

_

Suki, Toph and Zuko: hmmmmmm

_

: Avatar Day?

: (turning around) You guys are going to the festival, right?

(Aang, Katara and Sokka look at each other. Sokka, who has been crying over his boomerang still looks distraught, but Katara and Aang smile.

_

Toph: ha look at their faces.

Suki: yea aang and katara look excited then sokka is just crying.

sokka:😢😢😢 boomerang......

suki kisses sokka on the cheek.

_

Cut to a wide, overhead shot of the sky. Tilt down to reveal the walled town. Festival music plays in the background. Cut to a shot of the three kids in a crowd on a street. Green banners fly suspended on strings across the streets. They look around in wonder, Sokka carrying Momo in his arms.)

: There's a holiday for the Avatar. Who knew?

_

suki: yea thats pretty cool.

_

(Behind them a hug float of Avatar Kyoshi rolls by. They turn to see it.)

: Look! They made a giant Kyoshi float.

_

suki: wow that's one big avatar kyoshi

toph: no kidding.

_

(The kids run to the main square.)

: And here comes Avatar Roku.

_

zuko: thats one big avatar roku.

_

: Having a huge festival in your honor is great, but frankly, it's just nice to be appreciated.

_

Suki: alot of people already appricate you.

Aang: I know its just nice to see it.

_

: And it's nice to appreciate their deep-fried festival food.

_

toph: of course.

Suki: maybe we should go there.

sokka, aang and katara look at each other and they nodded no.

suki: why?

sokka: well-

katara: shhh you'll see.

_

(Sokka takes a huge chomp out of a cake he is holding.)

: Aang, look!

(A huge Aang float passes next.)

_

Aang: that sure is one big me.

_

: (smiling) That's the biggest me I've ever seen.

_

toph: no kidding

_

(Cut to a profile shot of the three Avatars now abreast of each other in the main square. Pan right to reveal a muscular and scantily clad young man running into the square with a lit torch.)

: Now a torch; that's a nice prop. It's bright, dangerous... (inhales deeply)... smells manly.

_

Zuko: how are you going to light it up?

sokka: aang can firebend the fire.

katara: aang can't firebend yet.

sokka: he CAN firebend.

Aang: yea now but not before.

sokka: oh yea.

suki: well technically aang can't firebend cause she took your bending for now.

Aang: yea that too.

Toph: so to smell manly you have to smell like a burning torch.

sokka: Yes....... No

_

But I'm not sure I could carry it off.

_

toph: you can't

sokka: how would you know that?

toph: i just know. You can't

_

: Hey, what's that guy doing?

_

suki: yea what is he doing??

_

(The torch man jumps through the bottom of the Kyoshi statue and lights it on fire.)

: Yaaaah!

_

Toph, Suki and Zuko: HUH?????????

Suki: What The HECKKKKK!!!! WHY DID HE JUST TO THAT TO KYOSHI!!!!

_

(He lights Roku on fire as well.)

: (chanting in unison) Down with the Avatar! Down with the Avatar! Down with the Avatar!

_

Suki, Toph and Zuko: what the heck?!

_

(Cut to a zoom in shot of the kids. Sokka's mouth drops open in surprise and food starts falling out.

_

suki: sokka your food.

Sokka: WHAT?! I was eating and I was shocked.

Suki: why isn't aangs burned too?

aang: hey

Suki: sorry its just avatar kyoshi's was burned down too.

sokka: and avatar roku.

Suki: yeah and avatar roku.

Aang: no i get, i get it.

_

Shift scenes to another town that rests on top of a hill, then cut to a man and woman walking down a deserted street. He is carrying two baskets suspended by a pole across his back. A shadow passes in front of the camera, )

_

Everyone but zuko: OH?

zuko:😬😬😬

(then the Blue Spirit appears in front of the couple, swords drawn.)

_

katara: oh zuko.

Zuko: yeaa.......

Suki: are you gonna?.......

_

(He cuts the baskets away from the terrified man, scoops them up and runs.)

_

suki: oh phew..

Zuko: did you think I was gonna......

suki: well kind of.

_

Cut again to a forest shot. A fly or other insect is snapped up by the lengthy tongue of a nearby tree chameleon. Shot tilts down to show the Blue Spirit climbing over a log with his baskets of loot. A green clad arm places the mask in the hollow a tree. Zuko looks out from around the tree, then cut to a shot of a cave.

_

sokka: why would you need to hide the mask?

Zuko: Wellllll.....

_

Iroh sits cross legged within the cave. Zuko throws the baskets from o.c. which land in front of him.)

: Where did you get these?

_

Toph: I don't think iroh knows.

Suki: that would make sense.

sokka: yea cause iroh wouldn't allow zuko to do this.

zuko: yea.....
