A/N: This is one year after the finale. The events of "the Promise" have happened. Aang and Toph are 14, Katara is 16, Sokka, Suki and Mai are 17 and Zuko is 18. Mai and Zuko are back together, Sokka and Suki are still together as well as Aang and Katara. Enjoy!
The Gaang is sitting on the beach at Ember Island. They had decided to take a weeklong vacation from their various duties. Zuko, Aang and Sokka, who is acting as ambassador to the southern water tribe, are taking a break from the tiring meetings they have had to endure, Toph is letting her metalbending students take a "break", they have A LOT of homework, Suki, who has been training Ty Lee to take her place is going 2 stay with Sokka after their vacations and Mai and Katara, who have stayed with their boyfriends are just enjoying some quiet time. Aang and Katara are having bending battles in the water, Toph is practicing her sandbending, Sokka is making yet another horrible sand sculpture of Suki while she watches amusedly, and Zuko and Mai are just laying on the beach enjoying each other's company. Suddenly a stray wave crashes into Sokka's statue completely obliterating it and soaking Sokka in the process.
"What is it with you people and ruining my art?" Sokka whines
"Face it, Snozzles, it wasn't even art?" Toph replied in her usual raucous manner. Everyone laughed accept for Sokka. Even Mai.
"Sorry, Sokka" Aang said "want me to help you fix it?"
"Naw, it's time to eat anyway. So what are we having?"
"Why don't we change and eat at that new restaurant?" Zuko chimed in
"Great idea, Zuko. Come on Sokka let's get you dried of." Suki replied grabbing Sokka's hand and walking to the house. They are using Zuko's Ember Island house. Zuko gets his own room since it is his house, Sokka and Aang are sharing as well as Mai and Katara and Suki and Toph. The rest walked up to the house to get ready.
