Author: Hi! I hope this chapter seems like it's a chapter too soon. It's been a while since I've wrote a fanfiction. But I hope you like it. . Now…ONWARD!

Chapter 1: Surprise!

Loud crashes, and shattering rang through the halls of the palace, with small screams of maids flowing with the loud noises. The source of all the noises came directly from one room alone. A room in the palace that had once been a place of structure was now a room a chaos. The room belonging to none other than Prince Zuko himself.

"How dare they! I won't go through with it!" Zuko shouted, slamming his fist against the scorched wall. He had spent the past hour wrecking havoc within his room. Walls scorched by angry flames, maps that once had decorated the walls were now nothing but ashes. The furniture made of fine wood were now shattered fire wood, feathers that once had stuff silk pillows scattered the floor, and expensive bedding turned into burnt pieces of fabric. The room had suffered Zuko's wrath undoubtedly.

"Calm down Zuko, it's not as bad as it seems." Iroh said in an attempt to help Zuko be calm. He was one of very few who knew Zuko well enough, and probably the only brave enough to try and calm Zuko. Iroh sat on a chair that Zuko somehow was unable to destroy.

"How can you say that? Of course it is! I'm being forced to marry!" Zuko shouted, angry at the unfairness in all of this.

"Zuko, there are many worse things. You could have been forced to die instead." Iroh said, trying to look on the brightside in all of this.

Zuko replied with an annoyed grunt, as he ran his hand over his face, frustrated. Why did he have to be the one betrothed? It didn't seem fair to him at all. Was this some sort of sick way to punish him for something? He knew he'd have to find a bride someday, and he hadn't been trying all too hard to find one. But to go as far as betrothal. Zuko gave a frustrated sigh, as he sat down on his bed.

"And I heard your bride was quite beautiful." Iroh added giving a smile.

Zuko sighed. "I guess that's something to look forward too when I see her..."

"Who said it was a her?"

Far, far away, in another nation. In land surrounded by water and ice, came the frustrated complaints of another adolescent.

"Aghh! Why do I have to be the one to get married? Why couldn't it be you?" A young man shouted, wiggling his arms around. He was covered head to toe in blue fabrics, from a sky blue to a dark blue. The dressmaker slapped his thigh, signaling him to stop moving, or else they might just accidentally pin him, or make a mistake. The fabric was expensive, and took sometime to make; a mistake could set the dress making back for days. These garments were far too important to be put on hold. He stubbornly refused open his eyes and watch the horror of dress making unfold.

"Because Sokka, I'm not of age to get married. AND! I'm engaged to Aang, you know that." Katara said as she flipped a few pages of her book. She gave her brother an understanding look for his stupidity. Katara couldn't help but feel sad for her brother. He had been told only a few days ago that he was betrothed, to marry another man even. But what Katara thought the worst, was the fact that her brother was being forced to marry someone of the Fire nation. Sokka and Katara both held a grudge against the Fire nation.

Sokka sighed. His sister was giving him that look again. "Look, Katara, I don't need you or anyone else to feel sorry for me ok?" Not being told until now, that he had been betrothed since he was 4 was bad enough, without having Katara feeling sorry for him. He didn't want pity; he just wanted a way out of this arrangement.

Katara sighed. Her brother was a moron at times. Of course she's going to feel sorry for him; he's going to be torn away from his nation. His family and friends, and married to someone he doesn't know. It didn't seem fair to Katara that just because her brother was blessed with a special gift that he'd have to ripped away from everyone so quickly. But she wasn't going to start an argument; she knew Sokka was only trying to shield how he was really feeling. Katara counted her blessing for being lucky enough to be engaged to someone she loved.

"Urgh, I just don't understand why if couldn't have been someone else."

"Sokka you're the son a high status, lord. Not to mention you're a bearer, so of course it'll have to be you." Katara wondered about it too, she guessed it was because Sokka was a bearer the Fire nation wanted their heir to wed him. Bearers were extremely rare in this era, so she supposed they saw the value he upheld.

"Hrm…" He crossed his arms, and slouched forward, giving a defeated sigh. He'd lost the battle, and had to face reality, there was no way out of this arrangement. His father had told him that the arrangement was set in stone. This marriage would be the treaty to the alliance of the Water and Fire nation.

A few days before Sokka was told by one of his father's advisors had approached Sokka.

"Sokka, your father wishes your presence in his study." The older man said in a gruff voice.

Sokka nodded dismissing the advisor. As he headed toward his father's study, through the blue tiled hallway, he wondered what was it her father wished of him. It was rare for his father to asked Sokka to his study. Usually his father would come to him instead if he wanted to talk about anything. "I guess I did something really bad…well here goes nothing." He slowly pushed the door open.

"Who is...? Ah! Sokka!" He quickly arose from his chair as soon as he saw his son enter his room. "Come Sokka, take a seat. I have something very important to speak to you about." He gestured to a chair infront of him. Sokka nodded and sat down. It was a while before his father actually said anything. He was clearing his throat constantly.

"Sokka as you know you were blessed with a very special gift."

"Of course I do, how could I not…" How could Sokka not know of his so called, "Special gift." He was reminded about it almost every day of his life. Everyone seemed to fret about it, that he was born delicate, and that it was a gift from the gods. But to Sokka it was anything but a gift, more like a curse. He faced years of torture by his peers, because of this so called " Special Gift." Teased that he was a girly man, or he-woman, anything cruel and unpleasant. But the worse was the discrimination he received by the adults and some of the other kids. They would always speak under there breath, "there goes the bearer." Or "there goes that cursed child." His mother had always told him he should be grateful to have such ability. It was rare and a beautiful thing, and Sokka should learn to cherish it. But Sokka refused to accept the fact that he had this ability. He refused to accept that he was a bearer. A man able to give birth to children.

"It's a very special gift Sokka. You will have learn to cherish it….possibly more quickly than you would like too…" His father closed his eyes sighing.

"What do you mean?" Sokka asked questionably. He was starting to dislike how this conversation was going. Why all of the sudden talk about something like this?

"Sokka." His father's tone grew serious, his eyes were closed. "You are soon to be of marring age, in a mere few weeks…which is a very grateful situation that our nation is in right now, with the Fire nation. You see, the fire nation's heir, is already of marring age. Somewhat older than you, give or take a few years…And you see the Water nation and the Fire nation has taken an opportunity to become alliances with one another…" His father sighed as he rubbed his eyes. Almost frustrated.

"…I don't understand….what does any of this have to do with me?" Sokka asked, giving his father a suspicious look. Something didn't feel right with this whole entire conversation.

"….My son…you play a very, Very important role in all this. Because you are needed for this alliance to take place…as your duty to this nation you are to wed the fire nation's heir…"

It took Sokka a few minutes for his brain to actually register what his father had said. Maybe he didn't hear his father right. He couldn't have possible said that Sokka was to marry another man. The fire nation heir at that. Yes! That's right he must had hear wrong. There was just no way. "Yeah, right and I'm a Earth bender. Nice try dad."

"Sokka…this is not a joke. This is a very serious matter. I'm wasn't joking with you when I said you have been betrothed to the fire nation heir."

"B-but that's not possible! Why am I hearing about this now!" Sokka demanded, still not believing that he was betrothed.

"Because we saw it best not to tell you until you were of marring age…and now that you are, the fire nation has sent word to us that they wish for the alliance to take place in a matter of months. You must marry the Fire nation heir for our nation's sake! Sokka this is a very serious matter if we don't comply with them, they could take siege to our nation." His father said, with his hands clenching each other tightly. Could Sokka not see that he himself was suffering through all this? His one and only son was to be married of to the Fire Nation.

"I will not! No! I won't take any part in his!" Sokka shouted, as he stormed his way out of his father's study.

"Sokka!" It was no use, Sokka answered with the slamming of the door.

Sokka eventually had to go with the whole betrothal thing….But the dress was just going too far. He was a man for heaven's sake! It was bad enough he was marring another man! He shouldn't be wearing a dress. Even if he didn't have a manly body, a dress was too far. He sighed. "Katara, tell again why I have to wear a dress?"

"Sokka…"Katara was getting irritated. Her brother was complaining about almost everything. "…because the gown is a water nation tradition. As well as everything else that you will have to do. And since you will be representing the whole entire water nation you must up hold all tradition….are you listening to me?"

Sokka drowned his sister out. She always went on and on about morals and such. He was to busy to listen anyway, he started wondering about what the fire nation heir was like.
