Boredom creeped in on her mind, as she absent mindedly did her daily chores. Song was utterly bored, Mom went to Gaoling to get Ling and Chei Lin, while Dad went off hunting with Kuruk, and told her to stay home and do her chores. After she finished there was still nothing to do, but, listen to the wind howling against the walls, and keep the fire going. Around mid-day Kishi padded into the living room and sat on her lap, when there was a soft knock at the door. Song pushed the pigmy snow leopard off of her, grabbed her favorite scarf, and went to answer the door. Standing out in the bitter cold, grinning stupidly, and holding a badly wrapped package in his hands, was her boyfriend Lu Ten. She let him in and shut the door quickly. "What were you thinking! You look frozen!"

"Does it feel like I'm frozen?" Lu Ten asked her, pressing his hands around hers, they were perfectly toasty. "Well . . . no" She mumbled, blushing furiously. "Here," He handed her the package. "Happy birthday." Song just looked at him for a moment, dumbstruck, how could she forget her own birthday? Then she unwrapped the present. It was a box full of White Dragon tea, and it was really from Uncle Iroh.

"Taking credit for your uncle's present, are you?"

"Nope mine's much better" Lu Ten replied smugly. Song rolled her eyes. "Oh really? Show me."

"Close your eyes."

Song did as she was told, then she felt him tie something gently around her neck. She knew exactly what it was, having seen them countless times around the women of the tribe, on her mother, and on her aunt. He'd finally popped the question. Before Lu Ten could even get a single word out of his mouth, Song spun around(so fast that he stumbled and fell over) and kissed him on the lips. She breathed one word in his ear."Yes."

They sat there on the sofa for a while, Song dozing off with her head on Lu Ten's chest. After some time the door opened loudly, causing Song to awake with a start and rise from her fiance's chest. Song's father, and brother had gotten back form their week-long hunting trip with loads of meat. She settled against Lu Ten again once it was quiet, and drifted back off to sleep.

Not long after Song fell back asleep, Sokka sank into a chair opposite the sofa and glanced at the young couple. "I take it you did it then?"

Lu Ten nodded slowly.

"Then Toph owes me."Sokka replied with a crooked smile.
