| The comic opens in the Fire Nation, with Team Avatar lounging in an abandoned dwelling. Aang and Katara sit facing one another, while Sokka lays down on the floor. To his companions' shock, Sokka rises up and dramatically poses. | |
| Sokka | That's it! I can't take it anymore! If I don't eat some snacks soon I'll literally die! |
|---|---|
| Katara | [Covers her brother's mouth while gesturing for him to be quiet.] Shhhhhhhhh! We are all going to die if you get us caught! You need to pull it together, Sokka. |
| Aang | [Rubs his stomach.] Mmmm, snacks! |
| Katara | If you want snacks so bad, then go get them yourself! |
| Sokka | That is the best idea I've heard all week! |
| Katara | You aren't going out like that, are you? |
| Sokka | Uh, no, Katara. Leave it up to the master of disguise! |
| Turning away, Sokka fusses about with his face, turning back around to display and stroke his extended mustache. | |
| Sokka | What do you think? |
| Katara | You look like a weirdo. |
| Sokka heads to the door as Aang and Katara guffaw at his appearance. | |
| Sokka | Yeah. Very funny. Well, this weirdo is about to save you all from starvation! [Steps outside.] Wish me luck. |
| Katara | Good luck, weirdo. |
| Sokka | [Walking down the path, singing.] Don't need luck when you have a mustacheeee! |
| Cut to Sokka rubbing his hands as he looks at a marketplace food stall. | |
| Sokka | Come to Sokka. [To the stall's vendor while twiddling his mustache.] Hello, young man. You don't know me, I'm just a loveable old man with a great big sweet tooth and an even bigger mustache! Hoo hoo! |
| Vendor | Uh...hi. What can I get you? |
| Sokka | I'll take two packs of mochi, two cartons of ice cream, two dozen cookies, and, uh... ten fruit tarts will do! |
| Now carrying his sweets in a bag, Sokka casually walks through the marketplace, as, unbeknownst to him, two Fire Nation guards notice him. | |
| Sokka | Sometimes I'm amazed at how amazing I am. |
| Guard #1 | [Points toward Sokka.] There he is! [Shows Sokka a poster.] This is you, isn't it? |
| Sokka looks at the poster, advertising a teacher for hire who sports the exact same ponytail and mustache as him. | |
| Sokka | As a matter of fact, that is me! You can see how wise I am because I have such a great mustache! |
| Guard #1 | Wow. What are the odds! Come with us. |
| Guard #2 | Our local teacher stopped showing up. Kids can be a little rough sometimes. |
| Sokka and the guards arrive at the building the children are based in. As the sound of rumbling intensifies, Sokka stands at the door while the guards remain at a distance. | |
| Sokka | What could be so bad about a couple of kids? |
| Guard #2 | Incoming! |
| Suddenly, a crowd of students rushes forward past Sokka, in the process causing his groceries to go flying in the air. | |
| Sokka | Give me those snacks you little freaks! |
| Guard #1 | [Leaves with her companion.] Good luck! |
| Sokka | [Rushes toward the students.] Get back here with that mochi! [Notices several of the students chewing on his cookies.] No! Not the cookies! [To himself as a lone student watches.] Got to play it cool. I can't risk them finding out I'm not who I say I am. |
| Student #1 | My mama taught me that people who talk to themselves are weirdos! |
| Sokka | Why does everyone keep calling me a weirdo? I've just got a lot on my mind, okay? |
| In a view of his imagination, Sokka fantasizes himself holding and smooching a human-sized piece of mochi. | |
| Sokka | Oh mochi, never let me go. |
| Breaking out of his reverie, Sokka enthusiastically turns toward the kids. | |
| Sokka | Hey! Who wants to learn how to sword fight! |
| Momentarily taken aback by Sokka's impromptu lesson plan, the schoolchildren look on in befuddlement only to quickly raise their hands in unison.
In a practice duel, Sokka engages with one of his students using wooden poles, while the onlooking students cheer. | |
| Student #2 | Taste my blade, you furry-lipped fiend! |
| The student swipes at Sokka with her weapon, knocking off his mustache. | |
| Student #3 | Hey! You aren't our teacher! I'm telling! |
| Sokka | [Puts his mustache back on.] No! I can't go to jail! Look how handsome I am! I'll do anything! Please! |
| Student #3 | [Smiles.] Anything, huh? |
| Cut back to the food vendor's stall as Sokka dejectedly orders food for his students. | |
| Sokka | Sigh. I'll have some cookies and bean cakes and mochi... |
| Student #4 | Don't forget rice candy! |
| Student #5 | I want sizzle crisps! |
| Student #6 | Oh! Fire gummies! Fire gummies! |
| Vendor | Man! You sure are a great teacher! Spending all your money on these cute little kids! |
| Sokka | [Dejected.] You bet. |
| Cut to Sokka leading the children back. | |
| Students | Snacks! Snacks! Snacks! |
| Cut again to the children playing outside as Sokka kneels on the ground, hanging his head. | |
| Student #7 | Woo! |
| Student #8 | Ha ha! |
| Student #9 | Yay! |
| Cut to the students' classroom as, tired from their various activities, the children doze off sitting at their desks.
Cut to the students' parents picking up their drowsy children, in some cases literally, all the while complimenting Sokka's work, who responds with a thumbs up. | |
| Parent #1 | Wow! I've never seen them this quiet in years! |
| Parent #2 | You are a miracle worker! |
| Parent #3 | You are so good with kids! |
| Cut to a slouched-over Sokka walking the path back to Team Avatar's living quarters, entering as Aang and Katara sit on the floor. | |
| Aang | Who ate all the snacks? Hello? |
| Katara | What happened to you? |
| Fake mustache in hand, Sokka falls back against the floor, exhausted. | |
| Sokka | Children! |
