The battle against the Fire Nation was not an easy one. After Zuko joined the group, things seemed different. He changed how we thought about the battle and what to expect, he put it in perspective for them. Everything went down, battles were fought, and Aang took down the Fire Lord in his own way. Katara and Aang were together for a short while after the war, Aang wanted to travel around helping refugees and settling disputes while Katara wanted to go live in the Northern Water tribe as a teacher of defensive water bending and healing. They couldn't come up with an agreement, so they went there separate ways but remained friends.

Zuko was crowned as the next Fire Lord and soon restored his country to the glory. All of his time and energy was put in to hearing his people and how to plan for the future, and helping out any way he could. Mai couldn't see past the fact that he actually had a job to do and couldn't sit around eating fruit pies all day. Being the selfish person she was, left and returned to live with her family. Zuko tried to make her understand that he did get some down time, but he had a lot of work after his coronation, and he had to get on it. Approving work schedules and making sure the welfare of his country was in order before he went on a date with his girlfriend. He would have made her number one eventually but there were more important things, to handle before that.

Toph returned to the Earth Kingdom and set up a school for Earth Bending, only accepting a couple students at a time. Every once and a while when Aang was in the area he would come over and help out, more and more he was coming around. Toph noticed this, but didn't make a comment. She was waiting for the best time, to say something she had admitted she enjoyed his company more and more and found her self wanting to spend time with him, and missing him when he was gone. One day, after all her students had left for the weekend, Aang was waiting around for dinner, when Toph decided to say something.

"So Aang is there something…"

"…Yeah there is…I don't know why it has taken so long…I just haven't found the courage to talk about it I guess…"

"…talk about what?"

"You." He said in a small voice

And the tiniest of blushes came up to her checks, "Me…what about me?"

"You have grown up…and you have…curves…" Aang said blushing him self, rubbing the back of his neck.

"You have too…grown up that is…I could tell your voice…it's deeper…"

Aang took a step closer to Toph; he reached over and put his hand on her cheek. Toph came close to him. She could feel his heart beating very fast, "Aang…I think I like you…"

"I like you too Toph…" he said bringing her face closer to his, and sealed his lips over hers.
