The kids were all gathered in the tea shop, drinking some tea and enjoying the sunset.
"I just can't believe that this war is finally over," said Sokka.
"Yeah, I mean, what are we gonna do now?" Toph said kind of worried of the fact that she would have to come back to her boring life with her parents.
"Well, you could come to the palace with me for a while," Zuko realized that by saying this, he had gained everybody's attention," I mean; bringing everything back to peace isn't going to be easy, I don't think I can do it by myself."
"And I had thought that you were a little more confident about yourself" said Katara while laughing, "a little more optimistic."
"¡I am optimistic, I am the most optimistic person!" There was a silence, "Well, maybe not the most optimistic person."
"Hey guys calm down, I think that Zuko is right, I seriously doubt that everyone in the fire nation agrees with what has happened. The best thing would be to go to the fire nation for a while," Aang, as usual, was the one who had to bring sense into the group.
"I'm in," said Toph.
"I have to go anyway" said Mai
"Yeah, I think that would be the best too," agreed Suki.
"Then I'm going too," said Sokka.
"You are right guys, besides, I'm sue it will be fun. You know, living in a palace," after saying this, Katara started imagining that life.
"So…" said Iroh, "Does this mean that everybody is going?"
"Yes sir," Toph told him, "are you coming too?"
"Well, I'm not sure, I've just reopened the teashop," He made a pause while thinking, "I'll go later, after I've made sure that everything is fine here. I will go as soon as I can, so that I can supervise that you are not messing up"
"Hey uncle, we are not stupid, remember, we, won the war"
"Of course, I didn't mean you were stupid; err, just a little…. Inexperienced, in the matter of having meetings, and talking to the citizens."
"We sure know Zuko isn't good at that," Sokka said while laughing and pointing the boy, who was giving him a hard look." Do you remember the speech he gave us when he wanted to join us?" Zuko blushed, remembering. "He had no idea of what he was doing."
The rest of the group started laughing with him, "Hey I was nervous, I was facing very angry and powerful benders…. And sokka"
Sokka stopped giggling, but Toph started to do it louder.
"That is, not, funny," Sokka defended himself.
"It sure is snoozes, and Zuko, you stole my joke"
Zuko was about to say something when his uncle stood up and stared to talk, "well kids, this old man retires to sleep, and you should do the same, tomorrow you are going to the fire nation, and it's a long rip, you should rest"
"Yeah, Yeah uncle, will go in a minute"
"Very well, goodnight everybody."
"Goodnight," said the group.
