Beach cave

The party cave is a system of underground caverns beneath an outer island of the eastern Fire Nation. It has at least two entrances. Located near a school, this cave was the site of a large dance party conceived by Avatar Aang. Local attendants of the school participated in the event.

History
Team Avatar stayed in the cave for a short time during the summer of 100 ASC. Here, Katara envisaged the idea of finding Fire Nation clothes and accessories so they wouldn't have to hide in a cave all day. In the morning, they left the cave to look for some, and then went to a restaurant at a bazaar to eat.

Unknown to the rest of the group, Aang accidentally enrolled himself into a local school. He did not return to the cave with everyone else, which worried them. Aang came back at nighttime, and told everyone the surprising news that he had gone to school. He encouraged his friends to let him continue going to school so he could learn more about the Fire Nation, and they reluctantly agreed. The next day, Aang left for school and attended it for the full day, but got in trouble for fighting Hide and was required to bring his parents to the school for a conduct meeting. Back at the cave, Aang asked Sokka and Katara for help, so they disguised themselves as parents and went to the meeting.

That night at the cave, Team Avatar prepared and organized a secret dance party at the cave for Aang's friends at the school. Many students came, and although they felt a bit uneasy about dancing at first, Aang was eventually able to persuade them into expressing themselves in the fullest. He impressed everyone with his dance moves, and performed some of them with On Ji and Katara. However, the party was interrupted by the Headmaster, who was informed by Hide of the illegal event. He and other school officials searched the cave for Aang, whom they had to intentions to send to reform school, but failed to find him in the vast crowd of students. Team Avatar escaped the cave through a back exit and flew away on Appa.

Description
The party cave is located on the coast of a small, crescent-shaped island. It lies at the foot of a grassy hill that sharply gives way to a rocky, black beach. The area of the hill in immediate vicinity of the cave's entrance is a steep, partially inverted cliff, though it is a more gentle slope further away from the entrance and up. The cave and the surrounding area is mostly uninhabited and devoid of fauna, though a few toucan puffins and cavehoppers can occasionally be found.

The cave's interior consists of black rock, which is fairly smooth on the floor but much more bumpy and rough along the sides and ceiling. In certain places along the cave wall, the rock is sharp and pointed, though this is seen only sporadically. The entrance is large and shaped roughly like a half-circle. Overall, the cave is quite spacious, and can comfortably accomodate many people all at once.

For the dance party, Aang and his friends decorated the dreary cave to make it look more inviting. They lit several candles and scattered them across the cave wall so there would be more light. Toph created circular, earthen podiums for a musical band to perform on while Katara made fountains. A to Z Fire Nation Landforms Locations
