Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, been reading some books by Ted Dekker... Anyway, enjoy the chapie and please R&R!

Sokka searched his teeth for left overs with his tongue as he stood in the kitchen. Chan had been right about those tacos. They were wonderful! He had gotten back to the large house the gaang shared about an hour ago, which had been empty except for Suki who was busy with organizing Aang and Kataras' wedding plans. The house was half girls half guys; each side had a bathroom and three separate bedrooms. The room for Zuko was only used when he needed a break from ruling the Fire Nation.

Suki peeked around the corner and smiled warmly at Sokka.

"What?" he asked as she strode in slowly.

"Sokka, when are we going to tell the others that we're getting married? I think Katara's starting to wonder why I'm so involved in her wedding plans." Sokka drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly, thinking his answer through, something he was trying to do more often now that he would be getting married.

"Let's tell them tonight. I invited Chan over for din-" Suki cut him off with a tender kiss to his lips and an excited smile. Sokka raised an eyebrow, trying his best not to look as pleased as he was.

"What did I do to deserve that?"

"I'm just happy we're finally going to tell them, that's all..."

"I see." He leaned in to kiss her again. Suddenly they heard a gust of wind quickly followed by a slammed door.

Aang's home

He walked into the kitchen looking on the verge of collapsing.

"Rough day?" asked Suki, a light smile on her lips.

"Not the day so much as the walk, er, run home..."

"Man! Those fan girls never give up!" remarked Sokka.

"I know! If only they used their time doing something useful rather than chasing me..." Aang poured himself a glass of luke-warm water, blowing in the glass lightly, causing it to form tiny ice crystals. He brought it to his lips and took two long swallows before ending with a satisfied, "ahhh". Suki chuckled.

"Better?"

"Much!" he replied,his usual happy-go-lucky voice back in the right tone. "Is Katara here?"

"No, she went to the market. Good thing too. Sokka invited Chan over for dinner." Aang blinked.

"Which Chan are we talking about? I saw at least five Chans just today." Sokka laughed before replying.

"Chan peng, you know, Taco?"

"Oh yeah! Haven't seen him in a while. That's great! Too bad Zuko's busy tonight or I'd suggest that he join us." Sokka thought back to only hours earlier when Chan had made a remark about Zuko. Something to do with Zuko's shady past, and that he shouldn't have taken the throne. Sokka, not wanting an argument, had dropped the subject. After all, he would've said the same if asked the question a few months ago, right? His thoughts were interrupted by Aang's voice, which now sounded oddly cautious.

"Just to keep you guys in the loop I should tell you this," he sighed as if bothered by what he was about to say next. "We've gotten word that someone's going to try and poison either Zuko or... me..." Suki sucked in a small breath in shock. Sokkas' eyes grew wide.

"We have no clue who is planning this or when they're going to do it." He chuckled almost angrily as he spoke. "Not to mention how they plan on slipping poison to the Fire Lord of all people... me, I'm an easier target, but Zuko is the most highly guarded person in the Fire Nation..."

"Or why they would want to kill the people who've brought so much peace to their country," said Suki sadly.

"Well, I'm guessing they're the people who were closer to Ozai and truly believed they were doing something good for the world," Sokka said with a rarely heard seriousness in his voice. Aang nodded in agreement with Sokka.

"Anyway, please don't tell Katara about this, I don't want her to worry about me. Okay?" Sokka and Suki nodded grimly, both thinking the same thing,

"When the war is finally over, someone else rises up to cause more trouble... The war will never truly be over. Will it?" Aang sighed before speaking, trying to sound as up-beat as possible.

"Sorry for ruining your good moods. But I thought it might be good for you guys to know so you can keep an eye out."

"Don't be sorry, you're right. Thanks for telling us," Suki said, putting her hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

"Well, time's awasting, I'm going to clean up... I feel dusty..." Aang said, looking down at his orange and yellow clothes, now tinted light brown. Suki lifted her hand from his shoulder to find that her hand was now that same shade.

"Good idea," she wiped her hand on Sokka's shirt and giggle at his reaction.

"Ew! You're getting me all dirty!" Aang rolled his eyes and headed toward the guys side bathroom, thinking about the meeting he had had with Zuko earlier.

The man slowly inched down from the window sill, and took out the tiny bottle of light green liquid, twirling it in his hands.

"Avatar Aang, I hope your avatar state can withstand poison." He smiled, turned and walked away calmly. It was going to be a interesting evening.
