Sokka awoke in the mourning happier than usual. He normally hated getting up, if he could he would sleep all day, but he wanted to get up and see Ai. He got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, he brushed his teeth, combed his hair, pulled it into the usual 'wolf tail', and did various other things. He ran to the door then realized he didn't get dressed; he ran back to his room and quickly got changed. Just as he got to the door, and started to open it, Katara noticed him.
"Where do you think you're going? You were gone all day yesterday, too." She said with an annoyed look on her face and her hands on her hips. Sokka also noticed the raised eyebrow.
"Out." Was his only reply.
"Not specific enough." She replied getting more annoyed.
"Out with...a girl." He said blushing lightly.
Katara Looked surprised, than she winked at him, smiling. "Good luck"
"Thanks." Sokka said as she turned and left. He ran out the door and to the market. He wondered around for a little bit, but he couldn't find her. 'I'm so stupid, I don't know what time she's coming or anything' He thought, mentally smacking himself in the forehead, and then he spotted her wondering around. "Ai!" he called out running to her, waving.
She gasped and smiled. "Sokka." She said as he hugged her lightly. "Hi, I missed you."
"I missed you, too." He replied letting her go. They just looked at each other, then Sokka's stomach growled; he had forgotten breakfast in his rush. "Do you wanna go out to lunch?"
She giggled. "Sure."
"Sounds good." They walked to the nearest, good restraunt.

Azula sat on her bed as Ty lee stood in front of her.
"Please?" Ty lee begged.
"No." Azula replied. Ty lee had been trying to get her to go to this club, the place where a lot of people 'hook-up'.
"Please!" Ty lee begged more.
"No!" Azula yelled.
"PLEASE!?" Ty lee looked to the point of crying.
Azula sighed. She had lost this battle. "Fine."
"Yay!!" Ty lee shouted jumping up and down excitedly. "Let's go get ready!"
"Ok." Azula sighed. 'How did I get dragged into this?' She thought to herself. Ty lee made her wear a dark red tank-top that let her stomach show, and a skirt that stopped right above her knees, also dark red. She put heavy black eye liner and red eye shadow on her eyes, and her usual red lipstick. Ty lee wore a matching outfit only it was pink and the skirt was shorter. Soon the girls left. It was truly amazing that Ty lee managed to get Azula into the club. It was packed. People were dancing to the blaring music; there were snacks, games, music, dancing, and of course flirting, kissing, hook-ups, etc. A dream come true for any teen, except Azula.
"Isn't it cool?" Ty lee asked over the music.
"I guess." Was Azula's reply. It only took ten minutes for Ty lee to go off with some guy, leaving Azula alone. She wondered around examining everything, and then she saw a guy walking up to her.
"Hey there." The boy said, he looked around eighteen. He had short black hair, golden eyes, tan skin, and he looked strong. He was tall and had on a black shirt that clang to his skin and dark gray shorts.
"Hello." She replied nicely enough.
"You know, I'm alone tonight." He started.
"Wonderful." She replied sarcastically walking away.
"I wasn't finished." He said stopping her.
"Look, I don't want a boyfriend." She told him strictly, and then walked away. She saw Ty lee walking up to her. 'She must have seen.' Azula thought to herself rolling her eyes.
"Why didn't you go dance with him or something?! He was a hottie!" Ty lee scolded. One of the only times she could scold anyone was when it was about boys.
"I told you I don't want a boyfriend." Azula replied.
"But Azula!" Ty lee whined.
"I'm leaving." Azula said heading for the door, leaving Ty lee standing there.

Sokka and Ai had gone to lunch and he was now walking her home, they walked hand-in-hand. Sokka wished this day would never end, but he knew it would as soon as they reached her house. They walked slowly, but eventually they reached her house.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Sokka asked as he let go of her hand.
"Yea. Sounds good to me." She smiled. "Tomorrow do you want to go out to dinner?"
"Sure. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll meet you at the market." He replied as she was opening the door. "Bye."
"Bye." She said back closing the door. Sokka began walking back to the inn they were staying at. 'Three dates in a row, I'm a lucky guy.' Sokka thought to himself.

Azula got back to her room and lay down on her bed. She stretched out and covered one of her eyes with her arm. She sighed. "It's days like this that I wish Sokka were around." She whispered to herself. She rolled over on her side and slowly let sleep claim her.
Azula was wondering through the hallways of the palace, the weird thing was she didn't know her way around, she looked over and saw a boy standing about 100 feet away.
"Can you help me? I'm lost." Azula called, but the boy ran, he looked about fifteen. "Wait!" Azula called out chasing him. She ran around the corner and saw the boy with another girl, and they were holding hands. This made her very mad, then she realized it was Sokka. "Sokka what are you doing with that girl?"
"Are you lost, little girl?" Sokka asked.
"Little girl?" Azula said confused. "I'm fourteen."
"You're funny." Sokka said with a chuckle. Azula looked down at herself, and she was indeed a little girl, about the age of six. Sokka bent down and picked her up. "Are you lost? What's your name?"
"I'm not lost this is my home. I'm Azula don't you remember me? Who is that girl?" She was starting to get angry.
"This is my girlfriend. Should I know you?" Sokka asked.
"I want to be your girlfriend!" Azula yelled.
"You're far too young." Sokka chuckled. He sat her down. "Goodbye, Azula." He replied and with that he left.
"Wait!" Azula called out as she tried to chase him, but it was no use, he was gone. "Where are you?" Azula called out. It was so dark she couldn't see, she was scared. She felt her eyes get wet as a tear slid down her cheek.
"Sokka!" Azula yelled waking up, her eyes wide. She looked around to see her regular room, her regular home. It was a bright mourning. She looked down at her hands, and at her body, to see her sixteen year old body had not changed. "Just a dream." She said to herself. She lay down and thought about the weird dream she had just had. She wondered about a few things, Why was it about Sokka? Why had she gotten jealous? Why did she tell him she was fourteen instead of sixteen? Why was she so young? Why did he not remember her? Why did she say she was lost and then later said she wasn't? She just simply shrugged it off and got up to start her normal routine. Get up, Eat, Practice, A few meetings, and listen to Ty lee as she tried to get her to meet some guy.

Sokka awoke that mourning and looked out at the sun. "Hm...About twelve-o-clock, I don't normally wake up this early." He yawned and got up to go get some food.

Did you like it? Sorry you waited so long and sorry it's short! Anyway I hope you enjoy!! I guess the reason why in her dream Sokka was 15 and she said she was 14 was cuz that's when they were 'together' if you would want to call it a relationship, I was going to make more to this but I couldn't cuz the chapter would be too long. reveiw please!! and I've been working on the next chapter of 'A.M.L' but I've been busy. Hopefully I'll post that soon, are we on 14 now? or is it 12? wow it's getting long, hopefully 'Together again' can be as successful as 'A Mother's Love' turned out to be!! I love all my readers and reveiwers!!!
