001 § Accidental Video § Arrival

[aangin_loose]

[When the feed comes on, there's part of a face filling the screen... A big, white, furry face. Appa sniffs at the PCD and noses it aside. He wants the grass, not weird smelling things. He keeps nosing it aside as he goes.

A sleepy voice comes from a bit away. Aang had been asleep in Appa's saddle.] Are we there already?

[Appa makes a noise. It's a little uncertain and he noses the PCD again. After a moment, the camera shifts as it's picked up. Aang's face comes into view... upside down.] What'd you find? [He looks around. Surely, whatever this thing is belongs to someone who's probably still around.] Appa... where are we?

Well... We were all at the Jasmine Dragon. Appa and I left to go to the Southern Air Temple for a little while. And now I'm here.

[An odd look. Wasn't The Jasmine Dragon --]

-- that tea shop, in Ba Sing Se?

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[Video]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

Why were you there?

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

To have tea. [He grins.] Your uncle makes great tea and he's fun to play Pai Sho with.

...

[Okay, he's seriously lost. Might as well own up to where he's from.]

The last thing I remember, before coming here, was the day of Black Sun.

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

That...

[His face falls a little. That explains that 'Ava' bit...]

Oh.

[He grins again.]

Then we can become friends again!

[Solution found.]

[...seriously?]

[salghdslhgd that makes him feel so much better than he thought it would.

BUT SHOWING IT? WHATEVER. MOVING ON.]

-- whatever. Did Katara find you yet?

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we're going to take Appa back!

[Video]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

Don't crush the house. We already have a stupid badgermole.

And a cat.

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

He won't crush the house.

Ooh, you have a cat? What's its name?

[Video] 1/2

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

It's not my cat, it's Katara's cat.

[HE WILL STICK TO THIS UNTIL THE DAY HE DIES.]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

... Lu Ten.

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

[Given that I don't think Aang knows Lu Ten's name... he's not going to call Zuko on it.]

I bet Appa will like him!

[Video]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

... Appa likes everyone.

[Including Zuko, sob.]

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

Well... yeah... but Momo didn't end up here with us, unless he was already here.

[Video]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen him.

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

So then Lu Ten will really make Appa happy! He really does miss Momo when Momo's not around.

[Video]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

The cat isn't a flying lemur.

[Besides, more importantly:]

You're from the future?

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

No, but he'd still be an animal friend for Appa!

[He nods.] Yeah, I am.

[Video]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

... do you do it?

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

I didn't kill him, but I defeated him. He won't be a threat to anyone ever again.

[Video]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

[That... actually gets the tiniest flicker of a smile out of Zuko.]

Figures.

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

[He smiles.]

I knew there was another way.
