Yeah... I think so?

Ignore Azula's taunting. She just wants a reaction out of us.

I'm sure the girl is safe. You have friends back in our world, right?

But how did she know?

I guess Katara could be with Appa, if she went back, and we're supposed to be meeting with everyone else.

Names disappear off the doors when someone is sent back to their world. I just checked, so she must have seen before anyone else did.

We still need a plan. I'm not going to wait for her to actually follow through with her threats. Staying together is a start, but now we have to stop her.

What about that Haru guy?

Oh... So we would've seen it if we'd all stayed in one place longer?

But what do we now, Zuko? We probably can't tie her up and watch her, right?

Haru? He wasn't there with us where we were, but he has to be somewhere back home, too.

I'm not sure. But staying in once place all together is our best bet.

Sokka mentioned something about putting some sort of spell on her room. If that doesn't work, we might have to watch her ourselves. ... If we do run out of options, we might have to end her. She'll come back in two weeks, I think, but it will give us some time to re-group and organize our plans.

He told me that he was with you before he was sent to this place. I think he went back home, too, though.

Can we get someone to do that? Sokka's idea sounds pretty good. Maybe it'll work.

Oh, it could be the same thing as what Katara was telling Sokka and me when we got here. Somehow, we came from different times.

Something needs to be done soon.

I wonder if someone from the far future arrives. Someone from after the war is over..

If they do, we could find out what we need to do, right? Unless it'll happen anyway.

That's it.

We'll have to confine her. We can catch her off guard and use Toph to trap her. She doesn't have any Dai Li agents to help her.

I'm up for that. Can I beat her up while I'm at it?

We might have to in order to restrain her.

I just need to figure out what to do with her...

All right. I still can't use my airbending yet, but I can help with that.

The sooner the better. Maybe not tonight, because she might be expecting it.

...Seriously?

And she didn't say bye?

... I'm sure she would have said goodbye to you if she had the chance.

...So... she's not coming back? Ever?

We don't know that. We were here previously, you know...

I don't know how it works, but don't get too disappointed if she doesn't. We'll get home one day. If she went back, we'll probably be sent back soon enough.

Yeah, I know.

...I guess so. At least we know your crazy sister can't get her, right? But Sokka's gonna be mad that she's gone.

Our world isn't exactly safer than this place, but you're right. My sister can't touch her now.

He'll be fine. We have to focus on getting out of here as well though.

Come on. If Katara left without a warning, there's no way she could've found her way out by herself. She would've told us and helped us escape, too.

The castle just did it randomly.

Then we have to figure out how and why the castle picks randomly. We have to get back home and stop the war. We're wasting too much time here.

...What do you think's happening? With the war, I mean.

Most likely, nothing much has changed, which is why we need to get home soon in order to make change happen.

How are we gonna do this? Do I make a never-ending tunnel and just go from there?

That won't work. We can't use the library, either.

We'll have to find out what we can from people who have been here longer.

... Katara?!

{running noises, he's going to go double-check}

Wait! [running noises as well ;)] Don't leave the group unless you have someone with you!

She can't be gone! I have to go check!

[catches up with him!!! long pause] I'll go with you.

.. Fine.

{continues walking!}

[walks a little behind him, silent]

{says nothing until they get up to Katara's room.}

What --

No way.

This castle is dangerous. It's better if--

... [sucks at consoling people] I'm sorry.

{totally ... not paying attention}

... She might come back. It's happened before, apparently.
