Song: Your'e ex-lover is dead
Song by: Stars
Toph and Sokka where sitting in the living room of their house in the earth kingdom. It has been 7 years since the war and they were married and had 2 children. A young earthbender girl named Yuu and a boy named Hiroshi. Yuu was playing with her friend, Suzu, in the back yard. Suzu's mother was due to come shortly.
Knock knock. "Sokka, can you get that?" Toph asked. Sokka nodded and got the door. "Hi Sokka!" Suzu's mother Tamiko said.
"Hey Tamiko, Suzu is playing with Yuu in the backyard."
"Oh, Sokka, before I forget. One of my friends from when I lived back on Kyoshi Island is visiting and I think you would really like to meet her!"
"Who?"
"She was my friend Suki." (Sorry but Sokka. doesn't remember Suki all that well.)
"Sure."
The two 3 year old girls ran into the room. "Mommy!" said Suzu, "Do I have to go NOW?!"
"Yes dear, but you can have rock candy when we get home."
"Yay! Okay I'll go."
"Oh and Sokka, go to the Jasmine Dragon at 6 o'clock tomorrow. Kay?"
"Okay."
The next day was raining. Toph was happy that Sokka was going out. He barely left the house since his father died. "So, Tamiko is introducing you to her friend from Kyoshi eh?"
"Yeah but the girls name sounds so familiar. When we were traveling with Aang, did we run into anyone named Suki?"
Toph did remember the girl Sokka loved. "Umm, no. We didn't." she lied.
"Okay just wondering."
"Tamiko. Why do you think I'd be such good friends with this Sokka guy." Suki said. The name sounded familiar. Who was this guy?
You have a lot in common. You both are warriors. You have a LOT of similar personality traits and you would probably be pretty equal in a spar."
Suki nodded.
Sokka was sitting at a table in the Jasmine Dragon when the girl arrived. She was fairly pretty and she was wearing a Kyoshi warrior uniform. Make-up and all. Than he recognized her. "Suki?!" he said surprised. After 7 years he saw his old girlfriend again. But now he was married and had kids. This is gonna be weird…
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before
In that instant it started to pour.
"Hi. Sokka." She said Quietly. "It's been a while hasn't it?"
"Yeah. I guess." I said.
"How are you?"
"Good, you."
"I'm married now… to a earth bender. Haru."
"I married Toph"
The two sat in silence for a long time. Neither of them expected to see eachother.
Captured a taxi despite of the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name…
She hadn't seen Sokka in so long. Why was it so awkward between them. She remembered when they first met. How she thought he was a spy. She smiled to herself on the way home. She and Sokka had so much fun together when they were teenagers. Suki had to put that behind her now. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go back, and have a life with Sokka.
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to dig deeper but you couldn't get in
She wondered what it would be like to be with Sokka. Her children be his instead of Haru's. She remembered how she came on to him in the serpents pass. The next day he kissed her.
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
She decided, she was happier with Haru than she would have been with Sokka.
On the way back to his house Sokka wondered. Did he really make the right choice? He loved her. A lot. But now she was married to this Haru guy. She is probably happy.
It's nothing but time and face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love…
It killed Sokka that he forgot about Suki. Especially hen she meant so much to him only seven years ago.
Live through this and you won't look back…
There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
When he got home Hiroshi greeted him. "Daddy! You're home! Mommy said that now you'll teach me how to use the boom-ang! PLEASE"
"Sure Hiroshi!' Sokka patted his son on the head. He loved training with his son. He loved his family. It was than Sokka decided he mafde the right choice.
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry It's Over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
Suki hugged her husband when she got home. "how was the visit?"
"I met up with more old friends than I expected."
"Must have been fun!"
"It was. But I missed you."
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save…
I am usually a SokkaxSuki shipper but that didn't work for this fic.
Also on a burned CD the beggining of the song says "When there is nothing left to burn you have to set youreself on fire" If I am the only one who finds that funny... Warn me.
