(The episode opens with a shot of a meteor shower flying across the night time sky. The camera tilts down to the ground.)

_

Suki: wow that's really pretty.

Toph: yeah it is.

_

: Wow, this is amazing to watch.

(Cut to a shot of Aang and company lying on a makeshift roof covering Appa and staring up at the sky.)

: Kind of makes you realize how insignificant we are.

: Eh, you've seen nothing once, you've seen it 1,000 times.

_

They all chuckle.

Toph: Well I'm happy I was able to see it now.

_

(There is a sparkle in the sky as a large meteorite enters the atmosphere and falls toward the earth.)

: Oh, man. You've never not seen anything like this.

(Sokka, Aang, Momo and Katara all sit up and stare at amazement at the meteorite, engulfed in blue fire. The camera follows the meteorite as it whistles through the air and passes over their heads.

_

Suki: oh-

Zuko: no

_

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

Sokka turns around and watches as the meteorite crashes in a huge, blue explosion off in the distance, causing him to shield his eyes. Toph stands up in surprise. The camera zooms out of a shot of the group all looking at the smoke rising from an orange glow. Aang, Katara, and Sokka look to each other nervously.

Cut to a shot of a town nestled in the mountains. The camera zooms out to show Appa flying down towards a large, fire filled crater where the meteorite landed.)

: The fire is gonna destroy that town.

: Not if we can stop it.

(Cut to a shot of Appa landing close to the fire. Aang, Toph, and Sokka jump off of Appa while Katara slides onto Appa's neck and takes his reigns.)

_

Zuko: how will you stop it without being detected.

Aang: it was night time.

Zuko: true but that doesn't necessarily mean that no one's awake.

Sokka: true but we nothing happened to us so I guess no one saw.

Suki: luckily.

_

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

: There's a creek over here. I'll bend the water on to the fire. (Katara whips Appa's reigns and flies off.)

: Toph, let's make a trench to keep the fire from coming any closer.

: (dejectedly) What should I do?

_

Zuko: take care of momo?

Sokka:....

_

(Cut to a shot of Aang and Toph looking back. Momo flies past the screen and chirps.)

: Keep an eye on Momo (Momo flies to Sokka and lands on his head.)

_

Zuko: oh. eheh

_

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

: So what, I'm just a lemur-sitter

_

Zuko: no but in this situation yes.

Sokka: not helping

_

(petting Momo's head) There, there. Feel better?

_

they all chuckle.

Suki: you did a good job though.

Sokka: yeah I guess I did.

_

(Cut to Aang and Toph running toward the fire. They both swing their arms down and cut a fissure through the ground in front of the fire. Aang and Toph raise their hands, then fling their arms to both sides, bending the fissure into a trench and pushing the fire back. Cut to Sokka and Momo. Flaming embers fall around them. Sokka frantically stamps one out with his club while Momo stamps out the rest and jumps back on Sokka's shoulders. Sokka looks back to see all the other fires put one and gives Momo a sour expression.

_

They all chuckle at momo.

Zuko: how did momo do that so quick and nit get burned.

Sokka: I think he used his spit.

Zuko: oh...ew

_

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

Cut to Katara and Appa flying over the nearby creek. Katara bends a huge orb of water out of the creek and high into the air. Cut to a close up of Katara bending the water behind her, stabilizing it. Cut to Sokka watching Appa fly over the fire while Katara sprays a shower of water from the orb, putting out most of the flames.

_

Suki: that was pretty cool.

_

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

Cut to Toph moving her hands from side to side, bending a large, rectangular slab of stone to roll over its edges and stomp out more flames.

_

Suki: that too.

_

Cut to Sokka and Momo as they watch the stone slab pass by. Cut to a shot of Aang taking the orb of water from Katara with his waterbending as Appa flies past him.)

: (bending the water around) Sokka, stand clear.

(Cut to Sokka and Momo.)

: (disappointedly) Right, stand clear. Got it.

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

(Sokka stands up, picks up Momo, and begins to walk away. Cut to Aang. He bends the water behind him and takes a deep breath before pushes his arms forward, throwing the water the water at the fire and exhaling a gust of wind. Cut to Sokka carrying Momo. Momo quickly flies away before Sokka is caught by surprise by the torrent of water. Cut to an overhead shot of the flaming crater. A globe of water grows out from the center and explodes, spreading a light shower of snow all over the area, putting out all the fire. Cut to Aang as Appa and Katara land nearby and Toph walks up to him.)

_

Zuko: you made snow.

Aang: yup :p

Zuko: won't people notice.

Katara: they would but the snow didn't last long.

_

: (dusting his hands off) Good work, everybody.

(Cut to an overhead shot of the snow covered crater. The camera zooms out before cutting to a shot of Sokka emerging from a pile of snow. Momo slides past him on the ice covered ground.

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

The scene cuts to a shot of the outside of the Fire Nation prison. Cut to the inside of a very dark cell. The door opens and light pours in over Iroh. He is leaning against the wall, eyes glazed over and drooling.

_

Aang: woah what happened to iroh.

Sokka: yeah he looks like ozai when aang took away his bending.

Suki: oh yeah he kinda does.

_

Cut to a shot from floor level of Warden Poon walking up to the bars of the cell. drops a bowl of mush on the floor in front of the cell and kicks it over to Iroh, spilling it. Iroh scrambles at the food, desperate and gasping. He falls face first into the mush and begins to slovenly shovel it into his mouth.)

: (descending) Look at you. You're just a fat, disgusting old man. You do nothing, you say nothing. You just eat and roll around in your own filth like a pig. You're a disgrace.

(Warden Poon spits on the floor before turning away and exiting the cell. Cut to a close up of Iroh.

_

Zuko: I'm going to have to fire that guard.

_

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

He smiles and flicks the stray strands of his hair back. Iroh picks up the bowl of mush and assumes a much more dignified, cross legged position and continues eating.

_

All: oh.

Zuko: oh that was just-

Sokka: an act.

Aang: but why?

_

The scene cuts to a shot of the small Fire Nation town Shu Jing situated in the

mountains next to a cliff overlooking a river. Cut to Aang, Katara, and Toph seated at an outdoor table at a local restaurant, each with trays of food.)

: These people have no idea how close they were to getting toasted last night.

_

Toph: no kidding.

_

: (eating a dumpling) Yeah, the worst thing about being in disguise is we don't get the hero worship anymore. I miss the love.

: (off screen, sarcastically) Boo-hoo, poor heroes.

(Cut to a shot of Sokka sitting at the edge of the floor by himself, a tray of steaming smoked sea slug next to him.)

_

Zuko: your not eating?

_

: What's your problem? You haven't even touched your smoked sea slug.

_

Suki: yeah that's very unusal

_

: It's just...all you guys can do this awesome bending stuff like putting out forest fires, and flying around, and making other stuff fly around. I can't fly around, ok (sadly) I can't do anything.

_

Suki: well that's not true.

_

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

: That's not true. No one can read a map like you.

: I can't read at all.

_

they all chuckle.

_

: Yeah, and who keeps us laughing with sarcastic comments all the time I mean, look at Katara's hair, right (grabs a lock of Katara's hair and gestures to it) What's up with that?

: (embarrassed) What? What's wrong with my hair? (Katara looks left and right nervously, trying to cover her hair.)

: (apologetic) Nothing, I was just trying to...

_

Sokka,Suki,toph and zuko: 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Katara: was there something wrong with my hair?

Aang: No No there wasn't anything wrong.

Katara: then why did you say that.

Aang: I was trying to prove a point and I proved it pretty well.

Katara: oh...okay?

_

: Look, I appreciate the effort, but the fact is each of you is so amazing and so special, and I'm not. I'm just the guy in the group who's regular.

_

Zuko: sure you don't have any bending. But you can do many things a normal person can.

Sokka: like.

Zuko: using your boomerang and sword.

Sokka: so?

Zuko: no "normal" person can use those things like you can.

Sokka: you do make a solid point.

_

: (sits down next to Sokka) I'm sorry you're feeling so down, but I hope you know none of us see you that way. (pauses a moment, then places a hand on Sokka's shoulder) I know something that's gonna make you feel better.

: (depressed) You do?

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

(Cut to a quick zooming out shot of Aang, Sokka, Katara and Toph standing in the doorway of a weapons shop.)

: (clapping his hands excitedly) Shopping!

_

Suki: noted.

_

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

(Sokka runs forward. Cut to a shot of him examining the various weapons displayed on the tall racks.)

: Maybe a little something to reinvigorate my battling. (pulls a nunchaku from the rack) Hey, how about these (begins twirling the nunchaku) Ho-ya! Smack-a-dacka-doo!

_

Zuko your going to hit yourself.

_

(Sokka accidentally hits himself in the head and falls over, knocking over a few of the poles weapons on the rack and making Toph flinch. )

_

Zuko: there it is.

_

(Cut to Katara fitting on a pair of gloves.)

: (off screen) What do you think? (cut to a titling

up shot of Aang wearing an extremely stylized and complex suit of heavy, shiny armor) Pretty slick, huh?

_

Zuko: no

_

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

(cut to a close up of an alarmed Katara) All I need to complete the outfit is a wind sword.

: (shielding her eyes from the shine of the armor) What's a wind sword?

: It's where I get a sword handle. And then I just swing this around and bend air out like a blade. (Aang raises a sword handle a swings it around, making wind noises.)

_

Sokka: you can do that?

Aang: yup.

Sokka: That's cool!

Aang: it is!

_

: Yeah...nice.
