Luz the Last Airbender

Book 1 Chapter 9 The Waterbending scroll

Amity's intro

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years passed, and me, Willow and Gus discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Luz. And although her airbending skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone.

But I believe Luz can save the world.

Scene opens with the camera zoomed out showing Appa flying in above the mountains with a few viewable trees, carrying Luz, Amity, Gus, Willow, Eda and King.

(Luz is pacing around on Appa's saddle, breathing heavily.) "Would you sit down?" (Turns around from her perch on Appa's head.) "If we hit a bump, you'll go flying off. What's bugging you anyway?" Eda asked

(Worriedly.) "It's what Avatar Moku said. I'm supposed to master all four elements before that comet arrives." Luz said

(In a sarcastic, amused tone while facing Luz.) "Well, let's see. You pretty much mastered airbending and that only took you a hundred and twelve years. I'm sure you can master three more elements by next summer." Willow said

(Frightfully.) "I haven't even started waterbending and we're still weeks away from the North Pole. What am I gonna do?" Luz asked

(Grabs Luz's arm.) "Calm down, it's going to be okay." (Luz sits down in front of her.) "If you want, Gus can try to teach you some of the stuff he knows." Amity said

"Come again?" Gus asked turning from the clouds

(Smiling.) "He'd do that?" Luz asked

(Nods and looks over the side of Appa's saddle.) "We'll need to find a good source of water first." Amity said

(Grinning, sarcastically.) "Maybe we can find a puddle for you to splash in." Willow said only to get a water whip from Eda which surprised the others

"Eda's a waterbender!?" Luz exclaimed

"She told me to promise not to tell anyone" Amity said

"They were gonna find out about it anyway" Eda said

"So are we gonna find a puddle?" Willow asked

Cuts to Luz, Amity, Gus, Willow, Eda and King standing in front of a large waterfall and river.

(Frowning beside Luz and Gus' ecstatic faces.) "Nice puddle." Willow said

Appa flies down into the river and creates a huge splash that soaks and almost knocks King of the rock he is standing on, turns over, and floats on his back.

(Takes off her shoes, smiling.) "Yeah! Don't start without me, boy!" (Begins to run toward the water only to be pulled back by Eda.)

(Somewhat blankly.) "Remember the reason we're here." Eda said

(Stops short and looks at Eda.) "Oh right. Time to practice waterbending." (Puts her clothes back on.)

(Sarcastically.) "Great. So what am I supposed to do?" Willow asked

"You could ... clean the gunk out of Appa's toes." Luz said (Hands Willow a branch with a bushel of leaves at the end.)

(Frowns and crosses her arms.) "So, while you three are playing in the water, I'm supposed to be hard at work picking mud out of a giant bison's feet?" Willow asked
