The Jasmine Dragon

3 Years Ago: The Ending of The Century Long War

The world was peaceful once more. Avatar Aang has defeated the Fire Lord, and Azula had been put behind bars, and all the Four Nations were at peace. Two kids were kicking a soccer ball over the stacked Fire Nation Tanks, each time using earth bending to toss the ball back and forth. A collapsed part of the great wall lay in the background. The joys of children ran through the streets, giggling and playing with the collapsed Fire Nation Tanks. The Century Long War had ended yesterday, and the world enjoyed its first day of peace in decades. The heroes were all staying in Ba Sing Se, at Iroh's tea shop, The Jasmine Dragon. The heroes were planning their last moments together before they would return to their new lives. Zuko would head back to the Fire Nation to begin his new responsibilities as Fire Lord Zuko. Toph was planning on going back home and confront her parents once and for all and prove that she wasn't the little girl they thought she was, even after her Blind Bandit Career. Suki was going to be dropped off at Kyoshi Island while Aang was planning to head to the South Pole with Katara and Sokka. Iroh was just going to stay in Ba Sing Se and work at his Tea Shop.

Iroh was playing the tsungi horn as Zuko passed a cup of tea to his uncle and his friends. Zuko was wearing a dark brown Earth Kingdom robe. Toph was lying on a table with her hands behind her head and legs crossed wearing a green and yellow dress. Aang was wearing the traditional Air Nomad robes with the same carving as Monk Gyatso while hovering a small air ball up and down as Momo tried to grasp it. Zuko walked to a table where Mai, and Suki were playing a game of Pai sho as Katara watched, to give them their tea. Suki was wearing also wearing an Earth Kingdom Dress that had a dark green top with lime green sleeves and pants. Mai was wearing a somewhat Lime and tan dress. While Katara wore a light green dress with a flower in her hair.

"Zuko, stop Moving! I'm trying to capture the moment." shouted Sokka as he painted a picture of the Gang.

"I wanted to do a painting, so we always remember the good times together." He said as he continued painting.

Katara walked up to him, "That's very thoughtful of you, Sokka." Her face then turned to an annoyed expression "Wait. Why did you give me Momo's ears?" she demanded.

"Those are your hair loopies." Sokka protested as Zuko walked up also giving his criticism, "At least you don't look like a boar-q-pine. My hair is not that spiky." "I look like a man." Added Mai.

"And why did you paint me fire bending?" Suki asked demanding an answer. "I thought it looked more exciting that way." Sokka protested as Momo jumped onto the table chittering.

"Oh, you think you could do a better job, Momo?" Sokka said in a questionable tone.

Aang looked down with a smile and stood up to walk onto the balcony, patting Appa's nose on his way out. "Hey, my belly's not that big anymore. I really trimmed down." Protested Iroh in the background.

"Well, I think you all look perfect." Exclaimed Toph as everyone laughed.

Aang looked out into the view of Ba Sing Se as he exited to the balcony, with Katara following shortly. They both glanced smiles at each other as Katara blushed and softly pulled Aang into a deep hug. As they pulled away, they took another look at the view of Ba Sing Se. After about two seconds Katara turned to face Aang as Aang did the same.

Then Katara leaned into a kiss as she wrapped her arms around Aang's neck and Aang wrapped his arms around her waist. They deepened the kiss they both longed for and after a few moments they broke away from the kiss, needing to take a short breath.

"Katara, I've wanted to tell you this ever since we were trapped in the cave of two lovers." Aang couldn't help but blush while speaking the truth.

"Katara I...I love you." He then placed a small kiss on her lips. Blushing, Katara looked him in the eyes and began to speak. "Aang, I love you too." Then they both kissed passionately. After a few moments they broke away to breathe.

"Aang, I hope you will come live with us at the South Pole, I want to be with you as much as possible." Katara knew he would come live with them, it wasn't as much as a hope, but more of a reality to put into his mind.

"Of course I will be, Katara. You think we should go inside and tell everyone about us?" Aang hoped she wanted to tell everyone the truth instead of hiding it for a while, but as he was about to speak up about it, Katara said, "Of course we should, Sokka may have mixed feelings about it but it's our relationship." Then she grabbed his hand and they walked back into the Tea Shop to give everyone the news.

Meanwhile...

Azula lay in her prison cell at the Boiling Rock, thinking of a way to escape and a new plan to kill the Avatar and Katara. The Dai Lee are still loyal to me, and also are some of the rebelling fire nation citizens. All I need to do is get out of this prison, and find the avatar. Then my new plan will unfold. Azula began to laugh maniacally as one of the guards passed her cell. "That water tribe girl must've really screwed up Azula." said the guard thinking that Azula was losing her mind. As he passed Ozai's cell he also heard him talking to himself and making a sinister laugh. "Wow, They both must've taken a large beating." The guard continued walking down the halls, Unaware of what both prisoners were planing in 3 years. They were planning to build up their strength, and bust out of the Boiling Rock, find the Dai Lee, and kill the Avatar, but they still needed a plan to do so.

That night after Aang and Katara told everyone the news that they were together now and forever, Iroh suggested they had a celebration. Iroh made some fine ginseng tea, as it was his and everyone's favorite, and they had their own music night. Everyone enjoyed Iroh's "Four Seasons" song, as Aang and Katara danced happily that night. Aang and Katara, and the rest of the Gang were staying in Iroh's house in the upper ring of the city. Aang and Katara decided to sleep together that night, just one night since they didn't feel like being apart tonight.

"Goodnight, Katara." Aang said as he placed a kiss on Katara's head.

"Goodnight, Aang." Katara replied as she returned the kiss on his cheek.

Katara's Dream...

I was running and running but before I could even try to get away I was grabbed by chain cuffs that came right from a vent underneath me forcing me to lay face down on the vent. Then Aang was trying to get to me as cuffs shot at his wrists from out of nowhere as he was pulled up to the roof. Sokka was just strolling around the palace, when he was knocked out by some rock fists and cuffed and dragged away. Toph lasted the longest as she used the vibrations to know when and where to move. Although eventually she couldn't dodge all the metal chains as they grabbed her waist, ankles, and wrists.

At the same time they all yelled "BE READY!" as they screamed away their last words as they slowly vanished.

Katara screamed as she suddenly shot straight up from the bed. Dripping in sweat she realized it was just a dream. But why did it feel so real, and why do I have to be ready? And why was it just like the coup in Ba Sing Se?

She figured it was just a nightmare that reminded her to that the war was over, but to still be ready if any rebels decided to rise. Aang awoke to her screams and asked what was wrong.

"Nothing, it was just a bad dream. I'll be okay." she assured him before they both drifted back to sleep.

The next morning the gang started packing and getting ready to head home. First, they would drop Toph of at Gaoling. Then take Zuko back to the Fire Nation Palace, where the gang are now honored guests of the Fire Nation. Suki was going to go back to Kyoshi Island to address the new leader of the Kyoshi Warriors. Aang, Katara, and Sokka were all going back to the South Pole, which was from what Master Pakku's letter told them was now a huge city like in the Northern Water Tribe.

Iroh gave everyone a nice cup of ginseng tea before they left. As they all loaded on Appa they waved their 'goodbyes' to Iroh. As they were nearing Gaoling, Toph laid depressed at the far side of Appa's saddle, away from everyone else.

"Hey Toph, are you alright?" Katara asked in a worried tone.

"I'm fine sweetness." she replied with a stern voice. "I was just wondering what they would think of me now."

"Who, your parents? After all you helped us with, teaching Aang earth bending, help taking down the airship fleet, and being the only earth bender in the world to bend metal, I would be surprised if they still didn't accept you for who you are." as Katara talked she scooted over to Toph.

"Well, I guess you're right. I'm just worried that's all. Thanks Katara" she gave Katara a light punch in the shoulder, as it was her way of showing affection.

They stopped right at Toph's house at Gaoling as The rest of the gang all gave her hugs and 'Farewells'. She walked into her home, not expecting her parents to grasp her in a hug as soon as she walked in. "We are soooo proud of you, Toph. We never knew you could really take care of yourself. Could you ever forgive us?" her parents hugged her tightly as she whispered to them "I do, and thank you for accepting me." A tear fell down Toph's cheek, happy that her parents finally accepted her.

Then the gang dropped Zuko off at the Fire Lord's Palace. After about a week of traveling they finally reached Kyoshi Island. "I'll send you all a letter when I'll be ready for you to come pick me up." Suki said before she gave Sokka a peck on the lips and gave Katara and Aang hugs.

A week later, they finally made it to the Southern Water Tribe. It was a big city now like its sister Tribe. The new couple announced their relationship to the rest of the tribe, receiving 'Congratulations' and acceptance.

The War Was Finally Over Thanks to these heroes.
