Five years after Zuko was crowned Fire Lord
"Fire Lord Zuko." The Fire Lord's trusted General bowed to his knees.
The Fire Lord gestured him to rise.
"An invite was sent from Goaling, Lady Beifong is expecting the Fire Lord's presence." The general announced.
Finally! The Fire Lord mentally groaned. It's been a long time since he had contact with his friends, knowing that they were also invited.
The Fire Lord nodded his head.
"Chiu."
A middle aged woman stepped forward and bowed to his Majesty.
"Prepare everything I shall be needing for the voyage and my stay at Goaling." The Fire Lord spoke.
The woman bowed and left the throne room.
Meanwhile..
"Come on Sokka!" The waterbending lady groaned as she waited for her brother.
"Relax, The earth kingdom isn't going anywhere." The warrior shrugged.
"Take care and look after each other." The siblings' grandmother advised.
"Don't worry Gran-Gran, I'll kill even the slightest insect that'll hurt my sister." Sokka smiled.
Katara rolled her eyes and held Gran-Gran's hands.
"We'll be careful, We promise." Katara assured.
After receiving their grandmother's goodbye, they boarded the ship and waved goodbye as they slowly inched away from their home once again.
"Do you think Aang's gonna be there?" Katara asked her brother as he escorted her to her quarters.
The warrior gave out a small sigh.
"I don't know, but if he gets to be I'll be here." Sokka smiled.
Katara hugged his brother. She loved how her brother matured, well seeing that he'll be becoming the next chief maybe it was to be expected.
"Milady." The servant breathed for the nth time.
The blind earthbender giggled as she snuck out of the window. Toph was still the playful girl she was, she's been running around the Beifong's home refusing to wear their oh-so traditional dress.
"Milady, you have to atleast try on the dress." The servant tried to persuade her.
"I'm turning eighteen and I demand not to wear such clothing." The blind lady said as she stood above the roof.
"Toph Beifong! Get down from there!" The older female Beifong nagged as she sighted her daughter above their house.
Having no mood at arguing with her mother she obliged and jumped down from the roof.
"I'm still not wearing a dress." Toph insisted and ran back to her room.

Katara smiled widely as her brother knocked at her door.
"We're here." Sokka grinned.
Katara walked past him and ran to the ship's dock. There she peered at Gaoling, their friend's home.
"Come on." Sokka called out as he carried their packs.
Sokka couldn't stop glaring at the men who kept on whistling as they passed by.
"Let them be." Katara placed her hand on Sokka's shoulder.
"I swear if it were legal to kill I would've ended their lives already."
Katara giggled at Sokka's overprotectiveness.
The waterbender really have changed a lot, her chest grew, hips widen, face matured, and even got taller. Making her easily attract men.
It's her first time to go outdoors again since her brother would lock her up back at the South Pole mumbling about predators lurking among their tribe.
Finally, after walking for fifteen minutes they've reached the noble home of the Beifongs.
"Greetings Lady Katara and Chief Sokka." A servant greeted.
Katara smiled at the female servant as Sokka just ignored her. The male warrior grew to be "allergic" to women- which his sister imagined impossible- after he got dumped by the female warrior he fancied so much. He then realized that maybe Yue is the only girl for him.
"Katara! Sokka!" Toph lunged in and hugged her friends.
"We miss you too." Katara smiled and returned the embrace.
"You've grown." Sokka smiled at the blind earthbender, making her cheeks grew red which was only noticed by Katara.
She was aware of Toph's crush towards her brother even if her female friend always denied it.
"Toph's friends, welcome."
The trio turned to the voice.
"Mr. & Mrs. Beifong." Sokka greeted with a bow as also done by Katara.
The couple smiled at their daughter's friends and invited them in.
"Wow, Katara! You've changed." Toph spoke in awe.
Though being blind, the siblings were aware of their friend's clear sight.
"Right back at 'ya." Katara smiled.
The blind Beifong had changed, her long hair flowed freely and just like Katara, physical features can be easily noticed as a change in her body.
"I had the servants prepare you a bath in your respective rooms." Toph stated after leading the siblings to their rooms.
"Thanks." Sokka sincerely spoke.
"Well, find you after we're done preparing." Katara smiled.
With this, Toph took her leave and allowed her friends to clean theirselves up.

The Earth Kingdom's people bowed as the Fire Lord walked along Goaling's streets. At this moment, Zuko has also arrived Gaoling for his friend's invitation.
I really should've come in disguise. The Fire Lord thought and continued making his way to the Beifongs.
"Zuko, is that you?" Toph beamed after the firebender entered the noble family's home.
Zuko just smiled.
"I thought you weren't coming." Toph uttered.
"I missed you and the Fire Kingdom was killing me." Zuko let out a deep breath.
"I almost regret being Fire Lord." He spoke lowly but his friend succeeded to hear it.
"What made you not?" She asked.
"You guys." He paused.
"I thought that if I gave up on being a Fire Lord everything we fought for would turn out useless, for me that is." He added.
"Still being a lazy bum." Toph shook her head.
The Fire Lord just chuckled.
"Zuko?!"
Zuko failed to see the person who shrieked as two arms warped him.
"I missed you."
Recognizing the sweet voice he returned the hug. He closed his eyes and inhaled her scent, her icy scent. The two managed to break the hug after hearing the deep clearing of throat.
"S-Sokka." Zuko stuttered.
Why are you feeling nervous? The firebender asked himself as he kept eye contact with the warrior.
"It's been a while... Fire Lord." Sokka teased.
"Haha, you too Chief." He insulted back.
"Seems like we're all here. So, where's the Avatar?" Zuko asked and eyed the room.
No one uttered a word.
"Twinkle Toes hasn't arrived yet." Toph disappointedly responded.
"Shall we have dinner?" Toph asked breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"That's after the Fire Lord takes a nice bath." Katara smiled then winked at Zuko.
"Sure, she hugs me then states that I smell bad." Zuko pouted.
"Go on already." Katara laughed at the firebender's childish act.
