"Ahh! Easy!" Appa licks him from bottom to top – twice.

"Down boy! Ahh! No! Up!"
" Looks like you haven't been giving Appa enough attention."

Sokka struggles to try and free himself from Appa's embrace.

"So how does this work?" Yue asks

"You hangin' on tight?"

"Mmm hmm."Yue answer

"Yip....yip!" Appa soars into the nearly cloudless sky.

"Oh...my...goodness!" Yue yelled

Appa flies effortlessly through the sky

"Wow! I can't believe you do this every day!" Yue said

"Yeh, we pretty much live up here." Sokka answered

"Is it always this cold in the sky?" Yue snuggles up against Sokka.

"Not when you're with someone."

"It's beautiful up here." Yue gasped

"Yeh."

Pause while they look at each other with adoration. They come close to kissing before they break off.

"Whoo! Yeh! Good times! Good times!"

Around them, what looks like snowflakes begin to fall.

"Hey, look!"

Appa flies into a squall of these "snowflakes". Strangely, most of these "snowflakes" are black.

"What's happening?" Yue asked

"Oh no."

Aang laughs as he rolls around in a circle in the snow. Momo is nearby. Within a few seconds ash starts to fall around him, but he doesn't notice.

Aang notices the ash and looks up, Katara and Katzumi also realize the snow.

"Soot."

Sokka kneels on the ground, the ash and snow still in his hand

"What?" Yue asks

"I've seen it before. Right before my village was attacked. It's soot mixed with snow."

Sokka stands.

"But why?" Yue asks again

"It's the Fire Nation. They've closed in on the North Pole. And from the looks of the stuff..."

"...I'd say there's a lot of them."

many city dwellers running up the steps of the citadel. The Princess stops, bringing Sokka to a halt along with her.

"What's wrong? We have to go!" Sokka insists

"No, Sokka, wait. I can't see you anymore. Not at all." Yue says

"What? We're just friends."

"I wish we could just be friends, but I like you too much and it's too confusing to be around you. I'm marrying someone else." Yue explains

"You don't love him, do you? You don't even seem to like him." Sokka suggested

"But I do love my people."

"You're not marrying them."

"You don't understand. I have duties to my father, to my tribe. I have to do this, goodbye!"
