So, I'm working on this, like, "For Dummies" guide thing for Earth and I keep getting stuck. I mean, for people like me who are from an Earth world, it's all kind of, you know, normal.

Cars are like -- they're like a way of getting from one place to another. They're like horses were. It's faster than walking, but cars aren't animals. They're machines, built by people and operated by a really, really complex engine. People drive them on roads and it cuts down travel time, like, twenty fold.

I'll be sure and include that one in the guide. With pictures. They even have lights on them so people can still use them after it's dark. If you've got any other words that you're not clear on, let me know. It'd be good to know what all I should include.

So its some kind of proto-floater that runs on mechanics rather than magnetism. Crude, but effective, I suppose. How fast do they go?

Airoplains are similar devices, correct?

Uhh ... yeah, I guess? They usually go up to 80. Legally, anyway.

Airplanes. But, yeah, except instead of moving on roads across the ground, they take the quick, more direct route through the sky.

Peter's in the Fire Nation? --Oh, to visit Aang, right.

Sure, I can come get you. I wouldn't mind watching another movie.

That's what he told me. Something about getting his original ability back ... I don't know.

I'll grab a movie and you can come get me tonight? Any requests on what kind of story it should be about?

His original ability? The one that made him pick up powers from other people?

What about one of those ones you mentioned at the park... uh, Disney movies.

Yeah. He could have more than one then, and now he's only been able to hold onto one at a time. Or ... well, apparently he fixed that somehow.

Oh! Disney, good idea. I'll hunt some down.

I know where he lives with Sylar and Spike. Long story. Point is that whatever he uses to get around with -- what he used to get away after he got to me -- I bet we can go there and get it from him. Keep him from getting around and hurting anyone else.
