"No! Sokka, don't pull on your sister's hair! Katara! Stop that waterbending this instant!"

Kaiya looked up from where she was trying to get her two children to stop fighting to smile at Chief Arnook. Unlike Sokka and Katara, his daughter, Yue, was behaving quite well. Despite the differences though, they had more in common than the rest of the people here. Aside from her husband, Hakoda, the five of them were the only Water Tribe members there that day for the Fire Nation prince's birthday.

"But, Mom! He started it!" Katara yelled. Sokka fumed silently.

Kaiya sighed in exasperation. However, her daughter had bended the water back into the pond and Sokka was keeping quiet, so Kaiya took this as a sign that most of the fighting was over.

"Now listen, you two," Kaiya said softly, crouching down so that she could pull them in and talk to them at eye level. "You guys have to behave well today. Our family and Princess Yue's family are representing our entire tribes, so do you know what that means?"

Katara tilted her head while Sokka bit his lip. After a few moments of pause he said, "If we mess up, then everyone messes up?"

"Right," Kaiya said smiling. "Though… Even if you two manage to cause a war, I suppose I'll still have to love you." She hugged the two of them briefly, letting go when they did, and then stood up to face Chief Arnook.

"So," she said. "Shall we? I bet the rest of the families have already gathered."

"Yes, being late would not be good," Arnook said taking hold of Yue's hand. Sokka and Katara followed her example and each grabbed one of their mother's. He sighed. "I can only hope that what you have said will not come true."

AN:So yes, I start my first AU of drabbles. Yes, that's right. An entire AU in drabbles. Why? Because I get tired of extended scenes and I like to switch around, and yet I like staying on the same timeline. Um… Things to know.

1. Sozin never went power-hungry or at least Roku managed to prevent him, so there never was a war.

2. This would take place around ten years before canon, so right now Sokka is five, Katara is four, and Yue is five or six.

Everything else that unfolds will probably be explained/revealed in the actual story.

Read and review, please?
