Switched

[Aubrey Pedersen]

Basically Sokka and Zuko from the Modern Day have gotten switched with their past selves from the TV show just after the season finale! Isn't it fun?

*In the Past with Future!Sokka*

Sokka: *sits up* Ow, bright light! *opens eyes and sees he's in a meadow* Huh?...This isn't my room....

Katara: Good morning Sokka. I started breakfast, are you hungry?

Sokka: Katara? Where are we?

Katara: Uh...in the earthnation...where we have been for about...2 weeks.

Sokka: *so confused* Earth Nation...how'd we get here? Where's our house?

Katara: We got to the Earth Nation because of Appa....and Aang..and our house is still back at the South Pole. Are you feeling ok Sokka? Did you hit your head?

Sokka: I feel fine, but we've never even been to the South Pole! Our house is on the island, with Zuko's and...where is Zuko anyway?

Katara: Zuko? Zuko is our enemy, Sokka! The South Pole is our home, what are you talking about?

Sokka: What are YOU talking about?

Katara: Aang! Sokka's finally lost his mind!

Aang: Katara? What are you talking about?

Sokka: That's what I'M trying to figure out. Since when is Zuko our enemy?

Aang: Wow Katara you're right. Zuko has always tried to capture me, Sokka. Since Day one.

Sokka: No, he hasn't. Zuko's been my friend since we were kids...*stands up and looks around* How are we supposed to get to school from here anyway. Who's bright idea was this?

Katara: School?

Aang: Friends?

Sokka: *looks at them* Yes, school! I have a math test today and I'm sure I'm already late...

Katara: We don't go to school...

Aang: What's school? Is that like my bending classes?

Sokka: *stares at both of them, and then suddenly realizes how he's dressed* Huh? ...These aren't my clothes...these look like something in a museum...

Katara: Sokka...those are clothes of our tribe. The Southern Water Tribe.

Aang: Museum? What's that?

Sokka: *sits down* Oh man...I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore...*closes eyes and shakes head* The last thing I remember, Zuko and I were running through a forest. He was chasing me because...I don't remember...we ran into a cave and now...I'm here...That doesn't make any sense.

Aang: You and Zuko where running through a forest?

Katara: *kneels next to him* Sokka? Are you ok?

Sokka: Not okay...definitly not okay....*puts hands on head* There has to be some kind of logical explination for this! I'm hallucinating, that's it! I've been listening to too many of Uncle Iroh's past life stories...

Katara: Uncle Iroh? PAST stories? Sokka, we're in our normal time.

Aang: that's Zuko's Uncle!

Sokka: No! No we're not in normal time! If this were normal time Dad would be yelling for me to get up and get ready for school, Bato would be making pancakes, and I would be in my bed! This. Isn't. Normal.

Katara: Maybe you should lie down Sokka...

Sokka: *shakes his head* What's happening...

Katara: *frowns at Aang*

[Neko]

Poor Sokka. He must be so confused.

My friend and I started something like this! Only, it had to do with Fruits Basket and it's going on through e-mail. And it all started because of a e-card she sent me for Valentine's Day....

[Aubrey Pedersen]

*In the past with Future!Zuko*

Zuko: *sits up and squints, putting a hand to cover his eyes with a groan*

Iroh: Good morning, Prince Zuko.

Zuko: *blinks and moves hand so he can give his uncle a weird look* Good morning Uncle...what's with the title?

Iroh: Weird title?...Perhaps you hit your head harder than I thought, Prince Zuko. How are you feeling?

Zuko: *puts his arms down and sits up* I'm feeling fine Uncle...*looks around* Where are we?

Iroh: I have no idea.

Zuko: Oh that's comforting...Where's Sokka? And why am I on a raft?

Iroh: What is a Sokka? We've been on this raft for several weeks now, Prince Zuko. Chasing the Avatar as you instructed.

Zuko: *blinks at him* Sokka...son of Hakoda...brother of Katara....*pauses* Avatar? Do you mean Aang?

Iroh: Are we calling him by his name now? That will make for a nice change...Sokka still does not ring any bells, though. Are you sure you are alright, Prince Zuko? The mast fell on your head during the storm last night. I was worried about you.

Zuko: Storm? What storm? And why do you keep calling me Prince? It's creepy...Sokka...he always has a boomerang, he's my best friend...

Iroh: There was a terrible storm last night, Prince Zuko, and it was all I could do to keep the raft afloat. I call you Prince because that is what you are...and I know a boy with a boomerang but he has never been your friend.

Zuko: *sits silent for a moment, before continuing* I am not a prince, and that boy, who is named Sokka, is my best friend and has been for a long time. Are you sure you aren't the one who hit your head?

Iroh: *sits beside him* What is the last thing you remember before this morning?

Zuko: I was chasing Sokka through a forest, though the reason escapes me, and he ran into a cave. when I entered it, there was a light...and here I am. Where ever here is. *looks around*

Iroh: *stands up and goes to adjust the sail* I think you are from a different life, then.

Zuko: *stares at him* What?

Iroh: You are from somewhere that is not here...because Prince Zuko was with me all yesterday.

Zuko: *grins* Well if that's true, than you're just like the Uncle Iroh in my time, because nothing phases you.

Iroh: Well, there isn't much point in letting it bother me for there is nothing I can do to fix it for the time being. Why don't you tell me about yourself while I try and direct us toward land?

Zuko: Alright then. I'm sixteen. I live my uncle iroh and my sister Zula after running away from home to escape from my abusive father who gave me this scar. I have a best friend who is fifteen year old named Sokka who lives with his sister Katara and his adopted brother Aang. They live with their Dad Hakoda and their Uncle Bato. I go to high school and I'm in orchestra.

Iroh: *didn't understand a word of that* Sounds...interesting....

[Aubrey Pedersen]

*In the Future with Past!Sokka*

Sokka: *wakes up with a jolt* Ah! *falls off bed* AH!

Hakoda: *runs to his room* Sokka? What's wrong?

Sokka: *stares at him* Dad?

Hakoda: Yeah. What's wrong, Sokka?

Sokka: *jumps up and hugs him* How did you get here? I thought you were in the Earth Kingdom! We checked the rendezvous point, but there wasn't a note so I don't think Bato made it! Where are Aang and Katara? What's going on?

Hakoda: *blinks at him* Woah, slow down tiger. Aang and Katara are at school. Uncle Bato is fine, what's a rendezvous point and an Earth Kingdom?

Sokka: *blinks* School?

Hakoda: Yeah. The place you go to learn.

Sokka: *stares at him in confusion and looks around* I don't get it...this isn't where we camped last night...

Hakoda: *blinks* Camped? Sokka are you ok? Did you hit your head?

Sokka: *scratches his head* Well, yeah, I did. We were in a storm last night, so Appa- that's Aang's flying bison- was flying really low. My head hit a branch, that's the last thing I remember.

Hakoda: Flying bison? Appa is a St. Bernard. And there was no storm last night, Sokka.

Sokka: *blinks* What's a St. Bernard? And there was to a storm, I was in the middle of it! I still don't know where I am, this isn't any place I've seen before...

Hakoda: A St. Bernard is a dog. There was no storm and you're in your room which is our house which is in the city of Daisuke.

Sokka: No, our house is at the South Pole. Where I lived all my life before Aang showed up. Dad, are you feeling alright?

Hakoda: I could ask you the same. We have never gone to the South Pole.

Sokka: Yes, we did, that's where we live. That's where you left from two years ago to go fight the fire nation. Remember?

Hakoda: Fight the firenation? Sokka, you must have really hit your head. Look. *opens window* No snow.

Sokka: *is fascinated with the window* How does it slide up like that? What's the stuff covering it? Shouldn't it just fall back down again? *is inspecting the window*

Hakoda: *smacks forehead* It's just a window with glass, Sokka. Now can we please focus!

Sokka: *knocks on the glass* I've never seen this before! I'll bet it keeps the cold out really well!

Hakoda: It does, now focus, Sokka. Look OUT the window!

Sokka: *looks outside* Hey! This looks like part of the fire nation! Where we captured again? This doesn't seem like much of a prison...

Hakoda: Captured? Again? Sokka, this isn't the whatever nation. It's Daisuke. And those are houses and cars...

Sokka: *suddenly staring around with wide eyes* Oh...man...

Hakoda:...*not sure how to take his reaction* And there's Zuko's house...you know, your second home...

Sokka: *eyes narrow* Zuko...he's behind this, I know it! Somehow he...changed...everything...

Hakoda: What?

Sokka: He's doing this to get to Aang, I know he is! Somehow he's screwed everything up...

Bato: *puts his head in the room* How's Sokka? He and Zuko looked like they'd taken a nasty fall...

Hakoda: He's not doing so well. He seems to think Zuko is evil. *to sokka* Zuko doesn't want Aang Sokka. Zuko is your best friend...

Sokka: *turns around* Me?! Friends with the Prince of the Fire Nation? You must be crazier than I thought!

Bato: *stares* Uh...I'm going to call Iroh to see if he's having the same problem....

Hakoda: Prince? Zuko isn't a prince.

Sokka: He is too! He's the Prince of the Fire Nation! You know...the one that's trying to take over the world. The one that....that...*can't bring himself to say it*....that attacked our village.

Hakoda: Sokka...there is no war. No one has attacked us...There is no Fire Nation. There hasn't been one for centuries!

Sokka: But...but...*is very confused* There has to be...we were just fighting against them...and they....

Hakoda: ...No Sokka...the war ended a loooong time ago.

Sokka: *sits on the lower bunk looking like the world turned upside down. He looks down at his clothes and shakes his head* This doesn't make any sense...I was fighting that war yesterday...

Hakoda: *sits next to him* As Soon as Bato comes back with an answer from Iroh, I'll have him come over and explain everything.

[Neko]

"rondvue"

....It's "rendezvous". ^_~ I know it looks nothing like it's pronounced, but you skipped a syllable!

[Aubrey Pedersen]

But I like our way

[Neko]

At least use three syllables like it's supposed to have!

(Sorry, I haven't said anything grammar-wise to anyone in a long time...)

[Aubrey Pedersen]

*In future with Past!Zuko and then both*

Zuko: *groans rubbing his head and sitting up*

Iroh: ^_^ Good morning, Zuko. How are you feeling?

Zuko: Like I got hit by a log....*looks around* Where am I?...

Iroh: You're home. Bato found you and Sokka last night...it looks as though you have a nasty bump on your head. Would you like some tea?

Zuko: Who found who? And no, I don't want tea!

Iroh: Calm down, Zuko. Bato found you and Sokka last night, in the woods.

Zuko: Why are you calling me that and who's Bato and Sokka?

Iroh: *sighs* You must have hit your head harder than I thought. *steps into the room* Zuko is your name, remember? And Bato is Sokka's Uncle...Sokka is your best friend...

Zuko: *shakes head, frusturated* I know my name is Zuko, but I have a title. It's *prince* Zuko, remember? And I don't even know this Sokka! I never had friends!

Iroh: Prince of what?

Zuko: The firenation! I know I was banished, Uncle, but that doesn't mean I don't have my title anymore.

Iroh: *blinks in utter confusion* The Fire Nation has not existed for hundreds of years, Zuko. That is why you were so upset with your Father's fascination with it.

Zuko: What? *stands up* What do you mean the Fire Nation doesn't exist? Of course it does! The Fire Nation is winning the war and it's my job to capture the Avatar!

Iroh: *blinking again* That war ended centuries ago, Zuko! You know that.

Zuko: *shakes head angrily* No! It's still going on! I was fighting Zhao and we were on the raft...there was a storm...

Iroh: *leaves to go answer the phone*

Zuko: *sits down and looks around more, before walking over to the wall where the blue spirit mask is hanging. Touches the notch that the arrow made with a frown*

Iroh: Hello?

Bato: Iroh? How's Zuko doing?

Iroh: He doesn't seem well. In fact, I would say he's very confused. *crash in the background*

Zuko: Stupid Stairs! Why didn't anyone warn me of these?!

Bato: Same with Sokka...he keeps rambling on about a war and how Zuko is his enemy...I don't get it.

Iroh: Yes, he is talking about a war. Zuko doesn't even know who Sokka is.

Bato: *listening to Sokka try and explain to his dad* Well, he knows who Zuko is and hates him.

Iroh: That....is bad.

Zuko: What is all of this stuff?

Iroh: That's a coffee pot, Zuko.

Bato: Do you think we should get them together? See if that helps?

Zuko: What is coffee?

Iroh: If Sokka hates him, it may not be smart...but...

Bato: I don't know that we have much choice....Your place is fire proof so I'll bring him over there.

Iroh: Good idea. I will see you here soon then.

Zuko: What were you just using?

Iroh: It's called a telephone. You use it to contact those who are farther away then regular talking distance.

Bato: Alright, Sokka, put on your shoes. We're going to try and get this sorted out.

Zuko:...like soldiers?

Hakoda: This should be good.

Iroh: *blinks* I supose...

Sokka: *allows himself to be led over, staring at the
cars in fascination as they cross the street*

Zuko: So...what is this place?

Hakoda: We're almost there Sokka...what do you think
of this place?

Iroh: It's my house ^_^.

Sokka: *stopping to watch a sprinkler* I've never seen anything like it...is it waterbending or mechanical?

Zuko: you have a house? Like a palace? It doesn't seem like a palace.

Hakoda: It's mechanical actually.

Iroh: It's not. It's just a house.

Sokka: *watches it in fascination some more* That's fantastic.

Zuko: Why would you want *just* a house? You're the Dragon of the West!

Hakoda: Yeah...it is quite handy.

Iroh: *stares at him* Uh....

Bato: *exchanges a look with Hakoda before knocking on the door*

[Aubrey Pedersen]

*Future with both continued*

Zuko: What? You're the legendary General Iroh of the Fire Nation, brother of the Fire Lord Ozai.

Hakoda: *shrugs and waits*

Iroh: *still staring at him in complete confusion as he answers the door* Come in and we'll see if we can't get this sorted out.

Sokka: *eyes narrow when he sees Zuko* You! I knew you were behind this!

Zuko: You! What are you doing here?!

Sokka: I don't know! You're supposed to tell me! You're the one that's done...done...whatever this is.

Zuko: I haven't done anything!

Sokka: Well then how do you explain all that? *motions outside*

Zuko: I don't even know what all that is!

Iroh: You must be from a different time.

Sokka: *stares at him* Say what?

Zuko: *gives him the same look*

Iroh: Some how, a rift in the time stream caused the Sokka and Zuko we know to go into your time and you into ours.

Sokka: Wait...there's two of me?

Iroh: Yes, there is two of each of you.

Zuko:...what do they look like?

Sokka: *stamps foot* There can not be two of me! That's impossible!

Bato: *ignores him* Just like you look now...

Hakoda: Sokka, please try to understand.

Zuko: So he had the scar to huh? Uncle, how do we fix this?

Sokka: What's there to understand? I'm out of my mind, that's it! I've gotten sick again, I'm delusional.

Iroh: I....have no idea ^_^

Hakoda: Sokka, calm down!

Zuko: Oh! That's just great! Now I'll never catch the avatar!

Sokka: I will not calm down! You're all insane!

Iroh: ^_^;;; well it would be a great help if I knew how the rift was created in the first place.

Hakoda: Sokka, we're not insane.

Zuko: All I know is that there was a big storm and I got hit on the head.

Sokka: Well the other alternitive is that I am, because this can't be real.

Bato: That's what Sokka said too.

Hakoda: It's real Sokka...you need to accept it..

Zuko: I don't care what he said unless it helps Uncle Iroh figure out how to fix this!

Sokka: *can't think of anything to say, so he doesn't and settles for glaring at Zuko*

Bato: snappy, aren't you?

Zuko: I am not! *glares at Sokka* What? Do you still think this is all my fault?

Sokka: ....No....

Iroh: The head hitting must have something to do with it...*strokes beard*

Zuko: *bites lip and turns away from Sokka* Well can I go into my room?

Iroh: If you wish ^_^. We'll discuss this further...

[Aubrey Pedersen]

Back with Future!Sokka in the Past

Sokka: *staring up at Appa with an open mouth*

Aang: Isn't he great? His name is Appa!

Sokka: Last time I checked, Appa was a dog...*shakes head* I wish Dad where here. He always knows what to do. Zuko would be good too.

Aang: Trust me, if Zuko is still Zuko, it wouldn't be good.

Sokka: Oh man...

Katara: We better get to the nearest village so we can get supplies.

Sokka: *trying to figure out how to get on Appa* Don't you have a ladder or anything?

Aang: You're funny other Sokka! You just climb! *airbends onto Appa's head*

Sokka: Climb...right...*starts trying to climb up*

Katara: *reaches down to help him up*

Sokka: Thanks, Katara.

Katara: No problem.

Aang: Yip yip!

Sokka: AH! *grabs onto the saddle* We're flying!

Aang: Yep! Appa's an airbending bison!

Sokka: Whoa...

Katara: Pretty amazing isn't it?

Sokka: This is totally awesome! I told Zuko it was possible to fly without an airplane! *leans over the side a little to look down* Whoa...

Aang: What, did Zuko not believe you?

Katara: *scanning for a village*

Sokka: Well...he stopped beliving me after I jumped off the porch and didn't fly....

Aang: Ouch.

Katara: Found one! Everyone hold on we're going in for a landing!

Sokka: *is absolutly loving this*

Appa: *swoops down and momo jumps out and grabs Sokka's head*

Sokka: Ah! Get it off, get it off!

Katara: Momo! *pulls him off* Momo, don't scare Sokka like that.

Sokka: THAT'S Momo?

Aang: Yeah! He's a leemer!

Sokka: *pokes him* Huh. Last I checked he was a cat...but then last I checked I wasn't living in a history book...

Katara: *stares at him*

Aang: Everyone off whos going off!

Sokka: *climbs off* That's fun! Zuko's gotta' try that!

Aang: Sure, if Zuko isn't out to get me, he can

Sokka: Great!

Katara: Ok, we're here to get food. Sokka, stay with Aang and make sure he doesn't buy anything silly. I'm going to the other end of the village. We meet back here when we're done.

[Aubrey Pedersen]

Future!Zuko meets up with Future!Sokka in the past

Zuko: *very bored* Where are we going? Are we close to land?

Iroh: *as they reach land* Yes, in fact, we are. There is a village not far from here. Put on a cloak, and we'll go check it out.

Zuko: Why do I need to put on a cloak? *puts on a cloak*

Iroh: Because, in this time I am wanted as a traitor and your sister is after both our lives

Zuko: ooh...now that you put it that way...*pulls up hood*

Iroh: *leads way to village*

Sokka: *is staring around* I don't get it...where are all the cars?

Aang: What are cars?

Sokka: They're machines that take you places. I'm still learning to drive them....

Aang: Cool! We just have animals!

Zuko: *blinks, walking next to Iroh when he spots Sokka* Hey! That's Sokka.

Sokka: *hears his name and looks around* Did someone call me?

Iroh: Looks like it.

Zuko: Come on! *walks over to Sokka* Hey.

Aang: Sokka? Is that person talking to you?

Sokka: Zuko! You're here to! *hugs him* Oh man, is this place crazy or what?

Iroh: *looking around nervously*

Zuko: I know! I'm soooo glad you're here. Apparently in this life Zula is after my life.

Aang: *stares at them both*

Sokka: Wait, Zula? As in my Zula? Why would she be after you.

Iroh: *to Aang* It would appear we have the same problem.

Zuko: I don't know, but all I know is that this Uncle Iroh said she wants to kill us both.

Aang: Yeah, that's what I think.

Sokka: Well, here Appa is a flying bison and Momo is a lemur. And Aang, apparently, isn't my brother either.

Zuko: Really? I never thought that would happen....wait. Did you say flying bison?

Sokka: *grins* Flying. Bison.

Zuko: That's just weird...is there a Katara in this world?

Sokka: Yeah, she's off getting supplies. Apparently we're on a quest...or something...

Aang: We're off to save the world.

Zuko: *blinks at him* From who?

Sokka: *trying to remember* Wait...I think I wrote this down in my notes once...Avatar Aang...the Avatar my brother was named after was saving the world from...from....

Aang: The fire lord Ozai.

Zuko: *stumbles away from Aang with confusion on his face* Did....did you just say Ozai?

Sokka: No. Way.

Iroh: It is true, I'm afraid.

Zuko: No...it's not...*touches the left side of his face* *after silence* So...Prince Zuko was hit by his father as well? What for?

Iroh: Because he spoke out of turn in his father's war room, which was an act of complete disrespect.

Sokka: *gives Zuko's shoulder a squeeze*

Zuko: Oh...wow. My father just hated me...and I stood up to him.

Aang: *stares at Iroh and Zuko*

Iroh: *shrugs at Aang* It would seem these two have crossed over from another time.

Aang: oh..so where are our Sokka and Zuko?

Zuko: So...what's Prince Zuko like?

Iroh: In the other time, apparently...Prince Zuko is...er...impaitent.

Zuko: He should have fun with Uncle then, huh Sokka?

Sokka: *snorts with laughter* I feel bad for my Dad, personally.

[Aubrey Pedersen]

Future!Boys in the Past Continued still more!

Zuko: If he's anything like you, than me too.

Sokka: Oh ha, ha, ha.

Zuko: You're my best friend. *grin innocently*

Sokka: I know. That's why I'm glad you're here with me....*reaches into pocket* Hey! It's that necklace we found yesterday!

Aang: This is weird. They look the same, but they're totally different...at least this Zuko is.

Zuko: *looks at it* Hey, it is!

Iroh: I am enjoying the change. You should as well.

Sokka: *snaps his fingers* I remember, that's why you were chasing me! You wanted to take the necklace back to where we found it but I wanted to give it to Zula as a present.

Aang: I do.

Zuko: Oh yeah!...I still think mine is better. At least morally.

Sokka: *inspecting the necklace more* Well, she probably wouldn't have liked it anyway...it's blue...I remember holding it when I blacked out in the cave...didn't you have a hand on it to?

Zuko: *frowns in thought* Yeah...I think I did...

Aang: Aw man, does this mean you're going to go to your home?

Sokka: Not unless we can figure out exactly what happened...though I think that this necklace has something to do with it...which means....*drops the necklace in Zuko's hand* Ack! Magic! I've been contaminated!

Zuko: You are such a dork. *stuffs it in his pocket*

Aang: *snorts with laughter*

Sokka: Yeah...well...just keep it there.

Zuko: Oh I will. It would look great on Katara!

Sokka: You can't give a magical amulet to my sister!

Zuko: I was joking relax. *laughs*

Aang: Zuko is able to laugh?

Sokka: I hate you.

Iroh: On occassion.

Zuko: no you don't.

Aang: I like his laugh...we should probably go to Katara now that I think about it...you guys could come with us!

Sokka: Didn't she tell us to stay here?

Aang: I thought we were supposed to meet her at Appa.

Zuko: *snickers at them before turning around and grinning at Iroh* This world is soooo weird.

Iroh: I hope you are enjoying it.

Sokka: Well...where's he at?

Zuko: I'm learning alot, that's for sure.

Aang: This way. *turns to Iroh* Are you coming?

Iroh: *shrugs* Might as well.

Zuko: *lets out a small whoop*

Aang: Great! This way!

Sokka: *follows Aang* Wait'll you see him, Zuko, he's huge!

Zuko: I can't wait. *walks beside Uncle Iroh* You know, it's funny, but now that Sokka is here with me, this place seems more like home.

Iroh: That is good to know.

Zuko: So...do you miss Prince Zuko?

Iroh: *smiles a bit sadly* Yes...he is like my own son...

Zuko: I think my Uncle said the same thing to me once. I was often at his house before the incident.

Sokka: We're here!

Zuko: *stops to stare* Woah...

Sokka: Zuko, meet Appa. Appa, Zuko.

Zuko: Hi Appa. You're a lot smaller in our time.

Appa: *licks him*

Sokka: *starts laughing*

Zuko: *scowls and is about to retort when he is splashed by a wave of water*

Katara: Aang, run!

Sokka: *starts laughing harder*

Aang: Why?

Katara: Isn't that Zuko?

Zuko: *dries himself off* Zuko, yes. Prince Zuko? No. *grins at her* Hi Katara.

Sokka: *can't stand up he's laughing to hard*

Zuko: *scowls at him* Laugh it up shorty.

Iroh: *blinks and she looks at Iroh* Did I miss something?

Sokka: *giggling* I am.

Iroh: They have traded places in time. Surely you've noticed something different about...er...him *gestures to Sokka*

Zuko: *sticks out his tounge*

Katara: Oh...I have. Apparently, this Zuko has a somewhat better temper.

Sokka: *does so as well*

Iroh: So it would seem.

Zuko: *smiles at him* Get up you.

Katara: *blinks* He's cuter with a smile. *not realizing she said this outloud*

Iroh: ^____^

Sokka: *picks himself up* Okay, so...now what?

Zuko: I dunno, we find a way to go back to our time?

Katara: *smiles at Iroh* What?

Sokka: You make this sound easy.

Iroh: From what they have said, it would appear that in their time you and he are...a...shall we say...thing.

Zuko: It probably is, just to spite us.

Katara: *blushes* A...a thing? Wow...

Aang: *blinks and looks around* Do you guys smell something burning?

Sokka: Uh...

Zuko: *stumbles back when he hears a yell* Zula...

Sokka: Uh-oh....

Iroh: *grabs Zuko and hauls him up onto Appa so they can run and/or hide*

Zuko: *quietly flattens himself against Appa's saddle*

Katara: Who's Zula?

Sokka: His sister...who in this time is apparently trying to kill him...We need to get out of here! *hesitates anyway*

Katara/Aang: *quickly get on Appa*

Katara: Sokka, what are you doing?

Zula: *comes into the opening* Are you sure he came...*pauses when she sees Sokka and other two* The avatar...

Sokka: *gapes at her for a minute before scrambling up*

Zula: Get them!

Zuko: She's scarier in this time. *whispers to Iroh*

Sokka: Come on! Lets go!

Aang: Yip yip!

Zula: *shoots fire at them*

Sokka: *watching her over the saddle as they fly off*

Zuko: *sits up shortly after and whistles* Wow she's scary.

Sokka: *sits back down* Man.

Zuko: *looks at him confused* You're so sad I can feel it through our link. What's up?

Iroh/Aang/Katara: Link?

Sokka: What if we can't get back home? I'll never....

Zuko: We'll get home. I promise. *turns to the others* Wanna' hear a story?

All: *nod*

Zuko: *quickly tells the story than pauses* Oh wow...I just messed with time. I just told them what's going to happen in their future.

Sokka: Way to go, genius. I wonder what that does.

Zuko: Hopefully nothing. I like my life the way it is. Besides, if it's just them that knows at not Mr. Princely and your other half than nothing should change right?

Iroh: We'll all just forget we ever heard any of that, alright?

Aang/Katara: Oooookaaay.

Zuko: Alrighty then.

[Aubrey Pedersen]

Past!Zuko and Past!Sokka in the Future...

Zuko: *scowls as he starts grabbing clothes from the closet* What is half of this junk?

Sokka: *who followed him* It looks like clothing to me, genius.

Zuko: *glares at him* Why did you follow me? *pulls out jeans a t-shirt and a hoodie*

Sokka: *folds his arms across his chest* I'm making sure you don't cause any trouble.

Zuko: Why would I bother? *pulls off his shirt*

Sokka: *shrugs* I don't know. But if this IS the future, which I doubt, anything you do here could cause problems back in our time and I don't want you even trying it.

Zuko: There's not one ounce of trust in your body is there? *pulls on the other shirt*

Sokka: Why should I trust you?

Zuko: I'm not saying trust me. I was thinking more of that bigger guy downstairs...

Sokka: *scowls* He looks like my Dad, but he isn't.

Zuko: Alrighty then. *pulls off his pants*

Sokka: *looks away* Since I can't exactly blame him for just being here, I'm going to make sure you don't do anything to screw up my chances of going home.

Zuko: Fine. But don't be surprised if I decide to kill you. *pulls on the jeans*

Sokka: *growls* I'd love to see you try it, fire boy.

Zuko: Don't tempt me. *pulls on the hoody before opening the door and walking down the stairs*

Sokka: *scowling deeply follows him*

Zuko: Can someone get this tag-along away from me?

Sokka: *scowling more* I am NOT a tag-a-long!

Bato: Uh...want some breakfast boys?

Zuko: As long as it isn't ramen or tea or fish, I'm fine.

Bato: We have french toast...

Zuko: Ok then. *sits down*

Zula: *opens door* Uncle I'm home early to check on Zuko...

Zuko: ! *jumps back* Zula!

Sokka: *confused* Who?

Zula:

Zuko: What do you want from me? Why are you here?!

Zula: Uh...I'm here to check on you. Make sure you're still sane...which apparently you're not...

Zuko: *glares at her* This is my sister. Look Zula, I don't know what you're after, but why don't you just go home and continue to be Dad's favorite?

Zula: *stares at him* I AM home, Zuko, what are you talking about.

Zuko: .....oh great. I hate this time! It's so confusing! Uncle, explain!

Iroh: ^_^;;; To which of you?

Zuko: Me preferrably.

Iroh: When you ran away from home after your father gave you the scar, you took her with you. She lives with us.

Zula: Great. My turn?

Zuko: I'm prince Zuko. I've been put here in the place of the Zuko you know.

Zula:......Sokka! *hugs him*

Sokka: ?!??!

Zuko: !

Hakoda: Uh, Zula. That's probably not a good idea.

Zula: *sighs and lets go* Let me guess, he switched to?

Hakoda: Yes...you guessed right.

Zuko: Can we go back to our own dimension please?

Sokka: ....

Iroh: We are trying to figure out how you got here...but it would appear that our Zuko and Sokka triggered it...in which case it will be up to them to figure out how to get back.

Zuko: Oh great. *sits down on a couch* How reliable are these guys anyway?

Zula: Um...depends.

Zuko: That makes warm fuzzy feelings come to my stomache. *sarcasm*

Zula: ^_^ I like him.

Sokka: *is still in shock*

Zuko: You like who?

Hakoda: *pokes him* Sokka?

Zula: You. My brother isn't nearly so dark.

Sokka: *whispers* I was just hugged by a firebender....and I LIKED it....

Zuko: Oh what? So he's Mr. Happy-hug-a-tree?

Hakoda: *pats his shoulder* Well, she is a pretty girl...

Zula: Well, no, not exactly. He's more go with the flow I suppose.

Sokka:.....but she's a firebender. I can't like a firebender....

Zuko: Hmph. Why would you want to do that?

Hakoda: Why, because you're at war with them?

Zula: No idea.

Sokka: Yeah...and....they....*looks down*.......

Zuko: *quirks an eyebrow at her* So, you must be more of the rebellious type.

Hakoda: They hurt those you love?

Zula: *folds her arms over her chest* What of it?

Sokka: *nods*

Zuko: Nothing. I don't really care what you do.

Hakoda: My Sokka was hurt by firebenders in the same way. And he still loves her.

Zula: *tries not to be hurt and remind herself that it isn't REALLY her brother speaking* Well, good, because I don't care about you either.

Sokka: I don't understand your Sokka at all.

Zuko: Good. *is confused by Zula*

Hakoda: I find it hard to understand him sometimes too..that was Kira's job....*shakes head* Maybe it's because he had a friend that was there for him...

Sokka: *sighs* After she...you...my dad...left right after that. To go help fight. Katara and I were left in charge until Aang showed up...

Zula: *shakes her head and sits next to her Uncle*

Hakoda: That's a heavy burden...

Zuko: *scowls and folds his arms in front of him*

Sokka: *eyes narrow* It wasn't fair.

Zula: *starts to reach for a peice of french toast* The others were going over to check on Sokka, but since he's not there I guess...

Aang: *comes zooming in on his air scooter* They're over here!

Hakoda: I'm sorry your father chose to do that to you.

Zuko: O-O! The Avatar!

Aang: ^_^ Hi Zuko!

Katara: *comes running over* You couldn't have at least left a note?

Yue: *follows her* Is everything okay?

Zuko: *tackles Aang*

Hakoda: Sorry Katara, we didn't think you'd come check up on him.

Bato: *decides to go seperate Aang and Zuko*

Aang:

Sokka: *stares at Yue with his mouth hanging open*

Yue: Sokka? Are you alright?

Zula: Oh, this isn't Sokka...well...it is...

Zuko: *has Aang in a head lock*

Bato: Zuko! Er...Prince Zuko...he's not the Avatar you're looking for...really...

Katara: Huh? Of course he's Sokka! He's got that same dumb look on his face.

Sokka: Hey!

Zuko: *looks at him before he releases Aang* You're right. He'd be of no use to me in this time anyway.

Zula: No, he's Sokka from the past.

Aang: *is very confused*

Katara: Huh?

Sokka: *looks back at Yue* You're not...You didn't...You're not the moon!

Zuko: *looks akward so he pats Aang on the head* Sorry about that.

Zula: Yeah. That made perfect sense, Sokka.

Yue:....No...I'm not...

Aang: Uh...no problem? Are you really from the past?

Sokka: *looks like he wants to hug her, or kiss her, or both* That's...great....

Zuko: Yes. I am. I'm also the Prince of the Fire Nation.

Yue: Yeah...it is...*blinks*

Aang: I think we learned about you in history ^_^.

Zula: *melts her fork*

Sokka: *looks down*

Zuko: I'm in histroy books?

Yue: *looks to the side*

Katara: *walks over to Zula and puts her hand on her shoulder trying to be comforting*

Aang: Yeah! I think you were the Prince that...

Bato: *puts hand over his mouth* Aang...that would be messing with time...and that would be bad.

Zuko: *blinks at him* What? What did I do?

Bato: ^_^ You'll find out.

Zuko: *scowls at him*

Hakoda: Nice save.

Zuko: *sits on the couch again* What are we all just sitting here for?

Iroh: Do you have another suggestion, Zuko?

Zuko: ....*ignores the lack of title* Well, we don't have to be so quiet unless I'm meditating.

[Aubrey Pedersen]

Future!Boys and their past traveling companions

Sokka: Are we there yet?

Katara: Do we even know where we are going?

Sokka: Nope!

Katara: Of course.

Zuko: *on his back looking at clouds and talking to Uncle Iroh* And that one almost looks like a dragon.

Iroh: *is very much enjoying this because it's like having young Zuko back* I thought it looked more like a snake.

Sokka: *shakes his head*

Aang: *whistles*

Zuko: *tilts head* But if you turn your head just this way, you see wings.

Iroh: *mimics him* Ah, I see it now!

Zuko: *looks at another cloud* And that one looks like a water bender.

Aang: So are we going to find an earthbender or are we going to try and find a legend or something to help us with these two?

Katara: Well, we can't just leave them stranded here, can we?

Sokka: *joins in* I think it looks like that girl back home...what's her name...Kivan?

Aang: No, I guess not.

Zuko: Kivan? She's mean. She kind of reminds me of what my mom would look like.

Sokka: Yeah...I guess...

Iroh: =(

Zuko: *looks over at Iroh* My mom left before I was five, I think. I don't remember what she looked like.

Iroh: If she was anything like your mother here, she was a very beautiful person.

Zuko: You knew Prince Zuko's mom?

Iroh: Of course! What kind of Uncle do you take me for?

Zuko: Well, if you are like my Uncle, you're the best in the world.

Iroh:^_______________^

Sokka: Not at all sappy, are you, Zuk?

Zuko: Never.

Sokka: *rolls his eyes* Do we have a plan?

Aang: We can always find a fortune teller that knows alot of legends to see if there's anything on that necklace of yours.

Sokka: Do we have a PRACTICAL plan then?

Aang: *pouts*

Zuko: We could always ask around...

Sokka: Except...isn't this world kind of at war?

Zuko: Oh yeah.

Aang: I could always bug Avatar Roku.

Sokka/Zuko: Who?

Aang: The Avatar before me.

Sokka: Um...isn't he, you know, dead?

Aang: Yeah, but the Avatar is the bridge between the spirit world and the real world.

Sokka: Spirit world...uh-huh...*flops over* Someone wake me up when I'm back in reality.

Zuko: Welcome to the past, Sokka.

Sokka: I wanna' go home to where stuff makes sense.

Katara: Are you sure that they aren't the same?

Zuko: What do you mean?

Katara: He sounds just like my idiot of a brother.

Sokka: Hey!

Zuko: *snickers*

Sokka: Oh, whatever...*stomach growls*

Zuko: You're always hungry, aren't you?

Sokka: Hey! I haven't eaten all day.

Iroh: Why not?

Sokka: Because I've been a little weirded out by all this.

Zuko: Of course. You are against anything supernatural.

Sokka: With good reason.

Zuko: True....so what do you guys have to eat?

Katara: Um...*starts digging through the supplies she just got*

Zuko: So, Uncle Iroh, do you want to talk about yourself now?

Iroh: There is not much to talk about.

Zuko: You sure? There has to be something.

Iroh: *thinking* No...nothing.

Zuko: Huh...

Katara: *pulls out fruit* I've got these.

Sokka: *grabs them and starts eating them*

Zuko: So...did we figure out a plan yet?

Aang: I'll talk with Avatar Roku...if I can...

Zuko: Have fun with that?

Aang: Okay.

Sokka: *finishes his fruit and lays down*
