Cold Flames: Chaprer One- A Brand New Start
Sokka sampled every exotic and unusual Fire Nation food he could fit into his mouth. Suki stared Sokka in disbelief wondering how he could stay in shape. As she walked to her piggish boy friend, Suki looked around the beautiful Fire Palace ballroom. The walls were a dark crimson red complemented by the gleaming gold dance floor. She sat next to Sokka at the dark wood table with fire lilies as the center piece. "Hey Suki, what do you think of my new joke, why did Momo cross the rode?" Suki sighed, obviously knowing the answer, "Why Sokka?"

Katara sat at her table looking out a wide window wishing she was beneath the full moon practicing bending. She knew she should come because it would only be proper, you can't turn down a request to come to a ball/meeting from the Fire Lord, and a good friend. As she looked around the room there was leader from every nation, treating each other as equals. There were still hard feelings held between the nations, but today they all discussed their opinions in peace. Soon the crowds started leaving, and Aang escorted Katara to her room
The young couple walked down the hallways of the palace. As they made it through the complicated maze of corridors and passage ways Aang arrived at Katara's door. " Goodnight, Katara." Aang said, Katara replied, "Goodnight, Aang" anxious to get out of the uncomfortable dress shoes. Aang knew the moment was right, he leaned toward her, closed his eyes, and.. "Aang!?!" Katara couldn't believe it, Aang tried to kiss her. "I'm sorry, Katara…"he muttered as he his face took on a bright shade of red. "Well, good night." Katara said in a rush to get into the comforts of her room. Aang walked to his room dejected, unaware of the trouble stirring out side.

Zuko lay restlessly in his bed wondering about his earlier conversation with Mai."Zuko, this isn't going to work.", Mai said looking as board as ever. "Why?" Zuko stammered comfused. "I'm going to teach a fighting class in Ba Seng Sai, and long distance isn't going to work. And... I've met someone while I was in prison. Goodbye." Mai began walking swiftly to the Palace gates. Mai was gone. He always cared for her, and now she left him. Then he wondered about his mother. Ozai obviously knew something but refused to tell him something. If only he could... "Fire Lord Zuko! There has been a incident!" He could tell by the look on the usually stern guard that something was very wrong.
