Five Years
It's been five years.
Five years since the Aang destroyed Fire Lord Ozai.
Five years since the war ended.
Five years since we all worked together to save the world.
Five years since I realized I loved him.
Five years since he went back to his girlfriend.
Five years since he broke my heart.
I've waited long enough. I've done too much for other people. It's time for me to go after what I want. And nothing is going to stop me.
Initiative
Just because the war was over did not mean that there was peace in the world. There were a lot of bitter feelings towards the fire nation and a lot of fire nationals who were not inclined to their new Fire Lords way of running things. So, in an attempt to keep order, Aang teamed with members of the White Lotus Society and brought people from every nation to the Western Air Temple. It was our headquarters. The Avatars most trusted friends acted as liaisons between him and the spokespersons of any town that had a grievance. They listened to everything the people had to say and reported it to Aang. Then he would do his best to grant the townspeople things that they needed to survive. It is a daunting task and often filled with a lot of woe and anger when the Avatar couldn't grant a request.
However it wasn't all business. Once every other month, Aang invited the leaders of the largest cities in the world to get updates on all the provinces. Bumi, The Earth King, Toph, Suki and, of course, Fire Lord Zuko were all about to descend upon the Western Air Temple for one such meeting. The first day of which is reserved for social visits. We have a large party and catch up on our personal lives. And when he comes up and asks me how I'm doing (as he always does) I'm going to tell him that I'm in love. And hopefully he'll ask with whom, and then I'll tell him, "With you Zuko."
