Complete story — includes the ending

The group arrives at the rendezvous point for the invasion, with four days to spare. This realization causes Aang to become increasingly stressed about confronting Ozai. After having a nightmare about a failed invasion, Aang comes to believe he is not fully prepared and sacrifices his sleep and sanity in order to train. After three days of no sleep and continuing nightmares and hallucinations, it takes the collaboration of Sokka, Toph and Katara to convince Aang to trust his preparation. Meanwhile, Zuko enjoys time spent with Mai and a pampered lifestyle in the palace, but becomes anxious upon learning that Azula has been invited to an upcoming war meeting while he has not. Not wanting to show up uninvited, Zuko decides not to go, but is ultimately requested to attend with a seat at his father's right hand. After the meeting, Zuko leaves visibly shaken, and confides with Mai that it was what he always wanted, but he did not feel like himself.
