Complete story — includes the ending

Aang, Katara and Sokka come across a village that relies solely on the predictions of its fortuneteller, Aunt Wu. Sokka is skeptical and refuses to believe anything she says, trying to discredit all of her predictions. Katara, on the other hand, is obsessed and keeps returning to Aunt Wu for more predictions on her love life. Aang, who has developed feelings for Katara, attempts to win her attention throughout, with no success. Eventually he attempts to fetch a rare Panda Lily flower from the lip of a nearby volcano, which is revealed to be on the verge of erupting — a direct contradiction to Aunt Wu's cloud-reading predictions. Katara and Aang use waterbending to manipulate the clouds as a warning to Aunt Wu and the villagers, and the group manages to evacuate the village before the volcano erupts. As the lava comes toward the town, Aang pushes it back with strong airbending, causing Sokka to comment that Aang is a "powerful bender". This catches Katara by surprise, as Aunt Wu had earlier predicted that she would marry a "powerful bender". The trio depart the village, with Aunt Wu reminding Aang that just as he reshaped the clouds, he has the power to shape his own destiny.
