Haru arrived at a strange building in a Earth Kingdom town. It looked mysterious. He read a flyer the lied near the shop and read it.
"Aunt Wu's Fortunes... huh?"He talked to himself and decided to enter. He waited in the wait room, not looking for anyone in specific but looking for someone.
Ty Lee held a flyer in her hand and found herself standing at Aunt Wu's Place. Something lead her here, as if by magic. She didn't have much to do and wanted to find something. She pushed the door open and was greeted by a young boy who probably worked there.
"Why hello there."She said, as he held the door for her to walk through. She went to explore the house, which was probably a mistake.

Zuko shook his head and grinned as he walked into the courtyard, still quietly sharing memories with his sister. It felt...strange that he was talking so easily with her. But it was a change he was willing to accept. As clouds slowly crept across the sky, Zuko nervously itched the scar on his stomach. Ever since his Agni Kai with Azula, he had been terrified of thunderstorms.

Sokka jumped up when he saw Zuko and Azula walk through the archway they had left through. "Zuko, you might wanna put a shirt on, you ladies-man!" Sokka said as he stood up. He lept up onto Appa's saddle and grabbed his friend's shirt and boots. A thick cloud passed over the moon, covering the ethereal light source. Sokka paused to glance up, but then proceeded to slide down his furry firend's back with Zuko's clothing. Then he noticed Azula. His moth dropped open and just hung there, and everyone gave him strange looks.

Katara stayed quiet, still remembering the Agni Kai that pitted Zuko and Azula against each other. It was her fault that Zuko almost died... Her fault. It was too close.
Yue moved the cloud with her waterbending as quickly as possible when she lost her view of the few.

Zuko took his clothes from a frozen Sokka with a smile. "Thanks, Sokka, I was getting a little cold." He shrugged on his tunic and slipped on his boots. Seeing Katara's look, he walked over to her. "Katara? Are you ok?" he asked, and small concerned lines appeared on his face. A low rumble of thunder took his attention away from his friend as he glanced around. Deep clouds were forming in the eastern horizon, and the sea air had made them strong. Although they were many miles away, fear overtook the young Fire Lord as his open tunic flapped around in the light breeze.

Sokka shook his head when the thunder growled from the horizon. Frowning, he estimated they were quite a ways off, but they were headed towards them. He walked over to his sister and Zuko, and noted the scared expression on his friend's face. "Hey, Katara, it would be best if we found somewhere to spend the night. Some of out froup probably wouldn't want to be caught in the weather." he said softly, and motioned in the direction of the thunderheads. And although he said "Appa hates storms, dont'cha, buddy?", he was really thinking of Zuko.

Katara smiled softly, reassuring them. She nodded. "Maybe someone could ask Aunt Wu about someplace to stay."
Yue noticed the storm clouds in the distance, and shined some light on the hotel in town.

Sokka nodded. Suddenly, a beam of light streamed out of the moon and onto a building down the road. Sokka stared up at the moon, and sheer admiration filled his face. He blinked and for a moment thought he saw Princess Yue smiling down at them. Sadness now replaced the admiration. To occupy himself, he shook Zuko and dragged him over to Appa. "Come on, Your Majesty" he said sarcastically, "Even you have to carry something." He climbed up onto Appa's saddle. "Hey Katara, I think the light might be pointing to somewhere we can stay. Should we go check it out?"

Zuko was shaken out of his state of fear as he was dragged over to Appa. "Sure thing. Where are we gonna stay?" he asked Sokka as he climbed up as well. He grabbed a pack and slid back down. He could literally feel his fear level rising, and the blood draining from his face. He gulped and ruffled his hair as his nerves dissolved.

Azula stared at her brother and his friends as they gathered their things from the bison's sattle. She noticed Zuko's face was unusually pale... even for one of royal blood. 'Wonder what he's so worked up about.' There was a rumble of thunder that kept getting closer and closer. Although she had a hunch, Azula didnt want to push her luck with Zuko... especially after they were getting along so well. She decided to go out on a whim and ask him. "Hey, Zuzu... I mean Zuko." she corrected as she grabbed his arm to stop him. Old habits are hard to break. "Why are you so freaked out? It's not like the lightning is going to come down and hit you just for spite." Azula smiled and tried to laugh to make it seem as a joke, but she knew it wasnt funny.

Katara nodded. She grabbed Appa's reins and walked him to the moonlight motel.
Yue smiled brightly, glad she could've helped.

Zuko froze as he followed Katara out of the courtyard. He could feel himself break out in a cold sweat, but he tried to ignore that. "I don't really know myself, Azula. I always had kind of...a rivalry with storms. When Uncle taught me how to redirect lightning, I went out to a storm to find some to test the move out on." Zuko looked away. "With all the rain, and light, and sound, something just kinda....clicked. Like I could feel the emotions in the clouds, but I couldn't control it. It was scary, like being glued to a spot on a beach, but not knowing when a big wave is going to wipe you out." He shivered and readjusted his pack before heading out of the archway and down the dirt road.

(out of the arch way like leaving the town??? i thought you guys were gonna stay in the hotel)
Azula watched her brother walk away. It was weird seeing him like that. She always used to think of him as always a hothead, never scared of anything, not even their father whom she herself had come to fear. "It is getting late and that storm will be here anytime now... I'd better find a place to stay." She would happily have gone to the hotel with the rest of the, but that look that Sokka had gave her made her think that she wouldnt be welcome. Azula smiled to herself and made her way out of the city, humming the song her uncle sang. She had always secretly admired it, but didnt dare tell a soul. 'Leaves from the vine, falling so slow...'

{I just meant the arch over the entrance to the courtyard... 3nodding }
Zuko watched Azula walk off in the corner of his eye, then rapped sharply on the large wooden door. Ac ouple thumps were heard from inside, and Zuko turned around and gave Katara a quizzical stare, then shrugged. A small sliding window opened, and a man stared out at them. Zuko took a breath and addressed him. "Hello, we were wondering if you had any spare rooms? And a place for our bison?"
{does someone wanna play the innkeeper???}

(I will, but I wanna be a mean old man twisted )
The old man stared through the window coldly at the young man. "That depends, how much are ye willin' to pay? Cant have ye stayin' here for free now can we?" The innkepper had a husky voice, not the sexy kind like Zuko has, but the old nasty husky voice that sounds like your gonna hack up a lung any day now.
Azula was far away from the village now, deep into the forest. She had been thinking about her mother and how they always had so much fun on Ember Island, even if they Ember Island players murdered her most beloved play every year. A single drop of rain fell onto the bridge of her nose. "Oh, come on!!!" she yelled into the sky. "I've apologized to Zuko, I'm even starting to like him just like a sister is supposed to and your going to do this to me!" She had no clue what she was yelling at but she didnt care. The rain had started to fall fast and hard, drenching her almost dried clothing. 'Maybe spending a night at that hotel with the goodie gang might not be a bad idea after all.' She turned around and stared at the dense forest in front of her. 'Now which way is the village....'
