Unfortunately, I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender. It belongs to Nickelodeon and its original creators.

All of the Kioshi Warriors marched in to sit next to Suki. "We were one centimeter away…" Suki sighed.

"Don't worry Suki; we are here for a week. I know you will have other chances." One warrior stated.

"Yeah I guess your right." Suki smiled. "Well I think I'm going to rest for while. You all should too." Suki said looked all around at the warriors that surrounded her. They all agreed and headed off to their quarters. Suki smiled and laid down still a little upset.

Sokka came walking back down the hall and entered Suki's room. "Ok, Song is asleep…" Sokka said walking through her door way. He noticed Suki turned on her side sleeping peacefully. Sokka sighed a little but let out a small smile. "Sorry…" He whispered and slowly and quietly closed the door. On the outside of the door, Sokka sighed once again and began walking away. The other warriors never did return to their quarters but stood off to the side watching Sokka walk away.

"Oh yeah, he likes her." One warrior stated. The other girls just giggled as they separated off to their quarters.

The reception has ended and Aang, Katara, and her father Hagoda are traveling back to the Southern air temple to drop off Hagoda.

"Your air bison is magnificent." Hagoda commented.

"Thanks." Aang said. "We aren't far from the temple now."

"Oh Aang, I forgot."

"What?"

"Suki and the other Kioshi warriors should be there by now."

"Oh yeah, well I hope you wont mind a couple more people Hagoda." Aang asked.

"Not at all. I've heard great stories about the mighty Kioshi warriors. It would be an honor to finally meet them." Hagoda responded.

"That's great." Katara said as they finally had the southern air temple in sight. "There it is."

"My goodness, it's more beautiful than you two described." Hagoda said.

"Just wait till you see the inside." Aang said. Hagoda starred in amazement. They landed at the entrance of the air temple.

"Dad?" Sokka said surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"What you're not excited to see your old man?" Hagoda said holding his arms open for a hug. Sokka just smiled and ran into hug his father.

"Nice to see you dad." Sokka said.

"Nice to see you too Sokka." Hagoda said. "My goodness Sokka what happened to you?!" Hagoda said examining his son.

"Nothing, really it was just a small fight."

"A small fight? It looks like you got into a fight with a saber-tooth moose-lion, and it won."

"Really, I'm fine dad." Sokka smiled.

"Well we best be off." Aang said jumping back on Appa.

"You two be careful and mind one another." Hagoda said waving goodbye.

"Have a safe trip."

"Don't worry, we will. See you in two days." They lifted off the ground and began their trip to Ba Sing Sai.

"Now then, where is my beautiful granddaughter I've been dying to see?" Hagoda said with excitement.

"She's sleeping right now, but she should be awake anytime." Sokka responded.

"Ok, I won't disturb her."

"But you can meet the Kioshi warriors."

"It would be an honor."

"Right this way." Sokka said leading his father into the temple. "Meili, Shan, Yusheng, Daiyu come out here for a minute! I have someone who wants to meet you." The Kioshi warriors popped out of their rooms and entered the sitting area.

"So these four girls are the mighty Kioshi warriors. It is an honor to meet you all." Hagoda bowed before them.

"Thank you." The five girls bowed.

"Well there are actually five Kioshi warriors." Sokka said looking off to the side and placing his hand behind his head.

"Well then, where is the fifth?" Hagoda questioned.

"She's sleeping." Sokka said.

"Well then looks like I will have to meet her later. What is her name?"

"Suki."

"Ok and what are all of your names?"

"I'm Meili."

"I'm Shan."

"My name is Yusheng."

"And I'm Daiyu."

"Well it's a pleasure to meet all of you." Hagoda bowed again.

"Well how about we go into the kitchen and grab something to eat." Sokka suggested.

"Sounds good to me."

"Yeah."

"Let's go."

"I'll go wake up Suki." Meili insisted.

"No! I mean, I'll do it." Sokka said. Meili smiled and walked into the kitchen. Sokka watched her walk away before heading towards Suki's room. He opened the door and walked inside. "Suki?" Sokka said walking into the room further. He sat on her bed and shook her shoulder. "Suki, wake up."

"Huh?" Suki moaned.

"We are going to have some dinner, would you like to join us?"

"Sokka? Um…sure." Suki said sitting up. She let a long yawn go.

"You sleep well?" Sokka said still sitting on her bed.

"Yeah, I really needed that." Suki smiled. Sokka just starred at her. She starred back with passion in her eyes. They both leaned in a few inches but were interrupted once again.

"Sokka!" Hagoda called for his son. Sokka just closed his eyes and got to his feet.

"That's my dad. I better go." Sokka ran out of the door. Suki just frowned and lowered her head.

Back in the kitchen, the four warriors noticed Sokka returning alone and let out a sigh. Sokka began preparing a small meal and sighed a couple times as well.
