"No you don't need my protection
But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking
I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes"

"You mean after all Roku and Sozin went through together... even after Roku showed him mercy, Sozin betrayed him like that?" Katara asks

"It's like these people are born bad." Toph says

" No, that's wrong. I don't think that was the point of what Roku showed me at all."

"Then what was the point?" Sokka asks

"Roku was just as much Fire Nation as Sozin was, right? If anything, their story proves anyone's capable of great good and great evil. Look at Katzumi, She's the Firelord's daughter and she's the best person we know" Katzumi blushed upon Aang's statement "Everyone, even the Fire Lord and the Fire Nation have to be treated like they're worth giving a chance. And I also think it was about friendships.'

'Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?" Toph asks

"I don't see why not." Aang says grabbing Toph hand.

Katzumi takes his other and Katara takes Toph's hand

"Well, scientifically speaking, there's no way to prove that.."

"Oh, Sokka, just hold hands."

"Okay so you're going to extend your arm. Let the Fire from your core flow though and-" Katzumi is teaching Aang some mini fire bend lessons but was cut off by flying rock that Aang manages to catch. Katzumi slumps over and walks away clearly annoyed

Aang ties his headband over his eyes and assumes a fighting stance and stomps on the ground with one foot.

Toph bends several columns of rock in his way and he dodges them with ease. Katara attacks with a water whip and Aang evades this as well, recoiling it back onto her and simultaneously hurling a boulder at Toph. Toph catches it on the end of her fist

"Good job, twinkle-toes. Visualize - then attack!" Toph says

She propels the boulder back towards Aang, who corkscrews into the ground to avoid it. The boulder, obeying Newton's first law, continues on its trajectory and collides with Katara's chest, bowling her over.

"Maybe you should take your own advice, Toph." Katara yells

"What's the matter? Can't handle some dirt, Madame Fussy Britches?"

Katara drenches Toph with a wave.

"Oh, sorry, did I splash you, mud slug?"

Furious, they career towards each other on ramps of rock and ice, respectively, collide, and fall to the ground with shrieks of rage.

"Are we taking a break?" Aang asks

Sokka looks with an evil grin on his face. He rushes towards Aang from behind, yelling.

"Yaaaaaah, sneak attack!"

Aang bends a column of rock in his path, then removes the blindfold.

"Sokka, sneak attacks don't work if you yell it out loud." Aang explains

Katara and Toph continue wrestling in a pool of mud.

"Hungry for a mud pie?"

She kicks mud in Katara's face.
