Hello?
Who are you?
[laughing]
Hey, come back!
[laughing]
The key to earthbending is your stance.
You've got to be steady and strong.
Rock is a stubborn element.
If you're going to move it,
you've got to be like a rock yourself.
Like a rock. Got it.
Good. Now, the actual motion of this one is pretty simple.
Okay. You ready to give it a try?
I'm ready.
Ahh!
[grunting]
Rock beats airbender.
No one dares to face her?
I will!
Go, Aang!
Avenge the boulder!
Do people really wanna see two little girls fighting out here?
Ooh!
I don't really wanna fight you.
I wanna talk to you.
Boo! No talking!
Don't boo at him.
Somebody's a little light on his feet.
What's your fighting name? The fancy dancer?
Alright, what you need is a good old-fashioned back pounding
to relieve your stress.
Pound away.
Ah! Ow! Ah!
Toph! I think this... is bruising me!
[groaning]
[grunting]
Sorry. I forgot you have baby skin.
Well, there's one other thing we can try.
Acupuncture!
[screaming]
Keep your knees high, Twinkle Toes!
[straining]
[grunting]
[indiscernible]
Ahh!
[grunting]
What should we do today?
I am tapped out.
I already picked my toes. Twice.
Twice?
The first time's for cleaning.
But the second time is just for the sweet picking sensation.
Sokka's been in charge of the schedule.
I am not sure what we should be doing.
Plus, it's so hot today.
How hot is it?
I don't know. Real hot?
It's so hot!
It's so hot
Momo, is shedding like Appa. Huh?
Huh?
I guess the joke's don't run in the family.
Oh. Everyone's a critic.
[growling]
[screaming]
[grunting]
What are you doing here, Twinkle Toes?
How'd you know it was me?
Don t answer to Twinkle Toes.
It's not manly!
You're the one whose bag matches this belt.
How did you find me?
Well, a crazy king told me,
I had to find an earthbender who listens to the earth.
And then I had a vision in a magic swamp and
What Ang is trying to say is, he's the Avatar,
and if he doesn't master earthbending soon,
he won't be able to defeat the Fire Lord.
Not my problem.
Now, get out of here or I'll call the guards.
The palace will be packed.
We can sneak in with the crowd.
- Won't work. - Why not?
Well, no offense to you, simple country folk,
but a real society crowd would spot you a mile away.
You've got no manners.
Excuse me.
I've got no manners?
You're not exactly lady fancy fingers.
[burping]
I learned proper society behavior and chose to leave it.
You never learned anything, and frankly, it's a little too late.
But you learned it!
You could teach us!
Yeah, I'm mastering every element.
How hard can manners be?
Good evening, Mr. Sokka Water Tribe, Ms. Katara Water Tribe,
Lord Momo of the Momo Dynasty.
Your Momoness.
Avatar Aang, how you do? Go on.
Ow!
Katara might be able to pull it off,
but you two would be lucky to pass as busboys.
I'd like to defeat the Fire Lord by the end of summer.
But I can't do that without finding
an earthbending teacher first.
Well, Master Yu is the finest teacher in the land.
He's been teaching Toph since she was little.
Then she must be a great earthbender!
Probably good enough to teach someone else. Ow!
Toph is still learning the basics.
Yes, and sadly, because of her blindness,
I don't think she will ever become a true master.
Oh, I'm sure she's better than you think she is.
[grunting]
Ah choo!
What's your problem?
Aang, I found these nuts in your bag.
I figured you wouldn't mind.
And besides, even if you did,
you're too much of a pushover to do anything about it.
As a matter of fact, I don t mind.
I am happy to share anything I have.
You know, I'm really glad you feel that way.
Because I also have this great new Nutcracker.
Actually, I prefer if you didn't
That's an antique! Hand crafted by the mosque.
It's a delicate instrument!
It's not the only delicate instrument around here.
Hey, you guys picked a great campsite.
The grass is so soft.
That's not grass. Appa's shedding.
Oh gross.
That's not gross.
It's just a part of spring, you know, rebirth,
flowers blooming, and Appa gets a new coat.
Ah. The beauty of spring.
Stop! Appa stop!
[coughing]
It's not that bad, Katara.
It makes a great wig.
And a great beard.
[laughing]
I'm just glad we finally have
another girl in the group because you two are disgusting.
Excuse me. Does anyone have a razor?
Because I got some hairy pits,
[laughing]
Ah choo!
[laughing]
Check out my Appa sand sculpture.
[growling]
Not bad, Baldy.
But I've been working on my sandbending.
You're gonna love this.
Whoa!
Wow. You even made a little Earth King and Bosco.
We're safe, Sokka. You can take off the mustache now.
Oh no, I can't.
It's permanently glued to my skin.
Way to go, Dancy Pants.
I think you really did help those kids.
You taught them to be free.
I don't know. It was just a dance party, that's all.
Well, that was some dance party, Aang.
Muah.
Flameo, Sir. Flameo.
I learned there was another way to defeat him
and restore balance.
I took his bending away.
Wow! Who taught you that?
A giant Lion Turtle.
You have the craziest adventures when you disappear.
What are you doing here?
Just enjoying the show.
What? You were there the whole time?
Pretty much.
Why didn't you do something?
Sokka was in trouble!
I was in trouble!
You could've gotten him out and helped us get away!
Guess it just didn't occur to me.
Enough! I want my staff back!
- Do it now! - What?
Earthbend, Twinkle Toes.
You just stood your ground against a crazy beast.
And even more impressive, you stood your ground against me.
You've got the stuff.
- But... - Do it!
[grunting]
You did it!
- You're an Earthbender! - I can't believe it.
Aw. This is really a wonderful, touching moment.
So, could you get me out of here
so I can give you both a big snuggly hug?
No problem, Sokka.
Actually, you should probably let me do that.
You're still a little new to this.
You might accidentally crush him.
Yeah, no crushing, please.
Oomf.
Toph! What are you doing here?
My dad changed his mind.
He said I was free to travel the world.
Well, we better get out of here
before your dad changes his mind again.
Good idea.
You're going to be a great teacher, Toph.
Speaking of which, I wanna show you something.
Okay.
Ahh!
Now we're even.
Um, I'll take the belt back.
Ow!
Sorry.
