A/N: I'm fixing up this chapter. Nothing new happening here; just not satisfied with it.

*O*O*O*O*O*O*

It was a chilly morning in the Southern Water Tribe, as usual. The snow usually grants its inhabitants a kind of unusual confidence. Sokka, with his newfound 'confidence', was now participating in the Water Tribe's annual Moon Festival Snowball Fight.

"Aang! You're dead meat!" He threw another deadly snowball at the Great Avatar.

Unfortunately, Aang just dodged it and ran behind his and Toph's makeshift fort while the snow ball hit some poor kid behind them.

"I wish Katara was here!" Suki whined behind Sokka's back. With the sound of snowballs whizzing in the air, he could barely make out what she said.

"Too bad she's busy with Zuko! Sucks for her! She's missing everything!" Sokka chuckled as he threw another snowball at Aang.

Aang had to go to another meeting a week ago, but Katara took his place. She thought he was working to hard and as his fiancée, she should be able to take his place for a while.

SMACK! The feeling of cold snow hit his tan face.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TALKING, MEATHEAD!" Toph screamed from their side and high-fived her avatar friend. She hit too hard and the oh so great Avatar fell into the snow face flat.

"Oh, you're gonna get it!" Sokka hissed and ran over to the younger girl. The three of them were engaged in such a hard fight that they were soaking wet on the way back to the house. Suki had left the fight midway through the fight claiming she didn't want to catch a cold.

"Guys," Sokka placed a hand on both of his friend's shoulders, "I'm so glad you guys could make it here!" And hugged them till Toph couldn't breathe.

"Love ya, man." Aang and Sokka embraced each other brotherly while Toph just laughed on the side.

"You guys are girlier than Katara!" She smirked. Aang and Sokka devilishly looked at each other and nodded. An evil smirk came over the monk's face and they both tackled Toph, "We love you too Toph!" and enveloped her in the tightest hug ever. After thirty seconds, the poor girl was finally let go.

"I can't breathe now!" And she punched Aang's arm. He didn't even wince. Then again, the two and Katara had been travelling together for a while now so he must be used to it.

"I know you love us too, Toph. You don't need to say it." Aang smirked and picked her up and swung her onto his back with a big green blur. He'd become much taller and stronger through the years.

"Put me down, Twinkle!" And she thrashed her arms onto his back, but in vain.

With much struggling, the three finally got to the palace. Sokka, being the chief's son, lived in luxury. He didn't let the royalty get to his head, though. He was still a 'simple guy with simple needs'. The only thing he absolutely yearned for was his little sister. Of course, the big reunion in the Fire Nation was only few days away and he would see Katara there, but he still missed her to death. Meanwhile, he's been passing his time by worrying over his upcoming proposal. Aang was the only one who knew about it and had been giving him pep talks and all of that stuff.

*O*O*O*O*O*O*

(Sokka's POV)

"Oh Kyoshi! You guys must be so cold! Come on in!" Suki pushed the three of us inside and sent us to the bathe. Toph, of course, went the ladies' bathrooms while Aang and I went to the guy's one.

"So, when is it going to be?" Aang asked me about my proposal.

"I want to do it before going to Zuko's for the reunion. So it'll be announced there… if she says yes." My heart sank at the thought that she would say no.

"Why would she say no? What's wrong?" His gray eyes softened with worry.

"Suki and I have been having some problems lately." I could hear him sigh in understanding, "She isn't as close to me as she used to be. She always declines any date I ask her on. She's never there anymore. I'm scared she's hiding something."

"Well, maybe you should talk with her?" Aang suggested.

"I will. So how bout you and Katara!" I was desperate to change the topic and this was the only big thing left.

"Oh, I miss her." He stared into the warm water.

"Miss having her in bed?" I smirked. He immediately shot up and gave me that look that screamed: If you want to talk about this, I can make it become bad for you.

"Yup, Sokka. She was awesome!" GAG! I don't want to know about my sister!

"Shut up, you idiot. I don't want to go there." I smacked his arm and we just laughed.

*O*O*O*O*O*O*

(Toph's POV)

"So, Suki. How's life?" I asked my friend who was chilling beside me. WOW! The Southern Water Tribe has the best bath tubs. I've got to tell Aang to get one just like this in the Air Temple. I bet Katara would like that too.

"Not good. I think Sokka's going to propose." She whimpered. I spit out the drink I was sipping on and screamed, "WHAT? How is that bad? You guys have been together for years! Shouldn't you be happy?"

"Can you keep a secret?" Suki moved closer to me and I could tell things were becoming more serious.

"Trust me. I've learned to keep many secrets and I haven't let out one." I sighed.

"Doesn't that suck?"

"I've learned to cope." I shrugged, "Go on."

"I want to break up with Sokka." I spit out even more of my drink and Suki gave a disgusted face to the puddle of it on the side of the big tub.

"Why would you want to do that?" I asked.

"I can't stand to lie to him every day. I don't love him. I love someone else."

"Who is it?" I cautiously ask her.

*O*O*O*O*O*O*

"SO YOU HAVE THE POWER?" Aang was giving me one of those pep talks again.

"Yup!" I screamed back as I grabbed my towel and wiped myself down.

"You're going to ask her tomorrow?" He was really good at these things!

"YEAH!" My fist pumped into the air.

"And she's going to say yes and you two are going to be together just like how you wanted! I'm proud of you, man."

We wore our warm clothes and bid good night. You can do this, Sokka. You love her, and she'll hopefully want to do this too and we can forget about the fact that she's further away now.

*O*O*O*O*O*O*

"Hay, Twinkle." I waved to the Avatar as he passed my room.

"What's up Toph? You seem shocked." He walked in and gave that classic concerned father routine.

"I'm fine. So what were you guys doing while talking a bath? I heard screaming and that isn't good."

He laughed, "Oh, I was just giving a pep talk to Sokka."

"He seems to need those a lot nowadays." I pointed out and he laughed in agreement.

"Yeah he does. But this one was different. He's going to propose to Suki tomorrow!" I could feel Aang's excitement.

Oh no.

*O*O*O*O*O*O*

"I don't think we should do this." I whispered into his ear.

"Why? You love me, right?" His husky voice sent shivers down my back.

"Aang." The vision of my fiancée broke into my brain.

"He'll learn that in life, you don't get everything you want." He threw his red robes off and showed off his toned chest.

"But we're engaged!" I screamed in defense and pushed him off.

"We'll fix that later, but I'm not scared of the monk. Are you?" I denied it when deep down, I actually felt guilty.

"I've left Mai for you. Now it's your turn." His amber eyes stared into mine as I fell, defeated.

Love is supposed to be pure. That's what I feel with you.Aang's proposing words ran through my brain while I felt a pang of guilt in my heart.
