In honor of the holiday seasson, three weeks off of school, and my utter boredom i decided to write a holidy fic. It will probably be four or five chapters or more or less. im not that good at estimating.

"Why are we doing this?" Zuko asked. He personally hated the holidays beyond human capacity but the young air bender insisted (forced) Zuko to attend.

"Because it's the holiday season. A time to forget about troubles and" Aang was interrupted

"We are in the middle of a friggin war. The battle of our lives is barely two months away and your saying to forget about our problems!" Zuko exclaimed.

"One day Zuko. Take one day to relax and enjoy this" Aang said slowly. Zuko sighed but followed the boy to the room the others were.

Katara and Sokka sat with their father laughing over something. Toph was telling stories about the Earth Rumble tournaments to The Duke, Haru, and Teo. Chit Sang sat with them but looked seemingly uninterested. Sokka and Suki were making out. Ya typical holidays. Zuko took a seat somewhere in the corner.

"Typical fucking holidays" he muttered.

Aang smiled and walked up to Katara. "Um hi" he offered giving a sheepish grin.

"Hi Aang" Katara replied relaxing a bit. "I think this was a good idea. We all needed the break."

On the other side of the room Toph challenged Haru to an earth bending match the next day and everyone was placing bets. All on Toph, of course.

"What's your problem?" Sokka walked up to Zuko.

"You know. My usual issues with the world. Nothing to worry about" Zuko said shrugging. He hadn't meant to ruin everyone's day especially Sokka who was now practically his best friend.

"Loosen up Zuko. You make it like something horrible is going to happen" Sokka said

"What are the chances of something horrible not happening?" Zuko asked

"Very very low" Sokka admitted.

Aang called everyone over for dinner. "I'd have to say this is the best holiday season I've ever had." Toph admitted. "It's also the only one I haven't had to wear a dress for" they toasted to that.

"I'm just happy we're all here unharmed, for the most part, and I want to give thanks for being reunited with my father" Katara said. Another toast.

"Happy holidays. I hope nothing explodes and nobody attacks. Let's eat" Sokka said. Katara and Aang rolled there eyes but everyone began laughing.

"Anyone have anything to add?" Hakoda asked

"The war will soon be over. I'm surrounded by friends. I'm content" Aang said. Haru, The Duke, Teo, and Chit Sang all muttered an agreement.

They all toasted and everyone went back to what they were doing. Laughing, making out, betting, sulking, and trying to be involved everywhere at once. I think we can tell who is who.

Then Aang did something half the room would have punched him for. Aang set up music and asked Katara to dance. Next thing you knew Sokka and Suki were out there too. Now the fact is that there were three girls. And a whole lot of guys. Not at all fair. And the only available girl……Toph Bei Fong.

"You've got to be kidding me" Haru muttered sitting next to Zuko. Eventually all the remainder of guys did so and Toph was not impressed. The only guy who hadn't tried her was Zuko and that kind of bugged Toph though she didn't know why she cared so much.

Aang decided to be fair and give Haru a chance with Katara. "That was nice of you" Zuko said raising an eyebrow as Aang took the empty seat.

"I try" Aang shrugged

"Toph you wanna dance?" Aang asked. Toph shrugged and walked up with him.

The two men, two young kids, and angst teen sat there in muse. Completely bored. And utterly annoyed.

Well Hakoda seemed to enjoy his children so happy though for some odd reason his eyes kept drifting to the scarred teen at his table. Though almost everyone's did. The gaang got used to Zuko's withdrawal and anti-social attitude. They also realized how un-Zuko-like this party was though they were still drawn back by the fact he didn't speak a word or even move all night.

It was rightfully so as Zuko knew his uncle was somewhere having a grand celebration. The whole fire nation was honoring Ozai and Azula. And his mother was somewhere doing something. Not to mention that the last holiday Zuko remembered he was in the infirmary on a boat. And the one two years earlier and funeral/coronation.

Katara was dancing with Aang again. "Sparky get your angst ass over here and dance" Toph yelled over the music. Everything stopped. It was weird. Zuko reluctantly walked over to Toph.

"Must you ruin my day?" he asked

"Please you ruin it fine all by yourself. Besides payback remember." Toph said. Truthfully she had other intentions but would never dare to show that Toph the reining champ of Earth Rumble Six has teenage girl hormones. Nope not gonna happen.

"Can you dance?" Zuko and Toph asked each other at the same time.

"Being from a family as such I was forced to learn" again together

"GUYS STOP" everyone else said simultaneously.

"We know your like siblings but please don't do the talk together thing." Haru said.

"SIBLINGS DON"T DO THAT" the two yelled back

"No offence Zuko but your's is psychotic and Toph you're an only child" Aang said smiling while everyone gave him weird looks. "It's true"

Zuko nodded and looked at Toph. "So can we get this over with?" he pleaded.

She smirked at his uncomfortable situation. "Sure"

Well that's part one. i'm pretty happy with it. The next chapter gets more interesting. i also tried to keep everyone in character but im not sure how well i did.
