The next day, Katara and Zuko got married in front of a small crowd of people, not including Sokka, who was on a business trip somewhere in the earth kingdom, or Aang, who nobody had spoken to in months. Zuko and Katara, who were now expected to sleep in the same room, were getting ready for bed.
"So, who is this mystery girl?" Katara asked while she and Zuko, who were now expected to sleep in the same room, were getting ready for bed.
"It's a long story, but for now, lets just go to bed." Katara climbed into the bed next to Zuko, facing the opposite direction, their backs touching, and turned out the light.
"This is so awkward…" Katara said.
"Tell me about it."
Katara woke up early the next morning and went into the bathroom to change out of her nightgown. Zuko awoke soon after her and minutes later they heard Toph banging on their door.
"Hey, I felt that you guys were awake, are we gonna eat breakfast soon?" She yelled. Katara laughed and Zuko rolled his eyes. Katara and Zuko opened the door to see Toph leaning against the wall.
"Aw man, I didn't wake you… I mean… yeah, now let's get something to eat!" Toph said.
"Have you been hanging around Sokka?" Katara asked jokingly.
"Actually, I have. I saw him a few weeks ago near where I lived. Now, back to the idea of breakfast." Katara laughed as they started to walk toward the dining hall.
After being served an unnecessarily huge breakfast, Toph asked,
"So where are you guys going on your honeymoon?" Katara didn't have enough time to start saying that they didn't know when Zuko said,
"Ba Sing Se."
"Oh, really…" Toph said kind of worried. "That's gonna be awkward."
"What?" Katara asked.
"Nothing." Toph said very quickly. "But hey, I needed to go to there, do you think you could give me a lift? I mean, unless you guys wanted the ship all to yourselves…"
"No, you can come with us." Katara said, completely forgetting Toph's earlier comment.
"Do you guys want to leave today?" Zuko asked them.
"Yea." They said simultaneously.
"Great, I'll go get a ship ready."
Only a few hours later, Zuko, Toph and Katara were on their way to Ba Sing Se. Katara and Zuko tried to get away with sleeping in separate rooms, but when Toph started asking questions, they just decided to play it safe and sleep in the same place. They woke up early the next morning when the ship came to a jerking stop. They all ran to the deck to see that they had arrived at the northern dock of the great city. They got of the ship and Toph started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Katara asked her.
"I dunno." She responded dismissively without even looking back. Katara looked over a Zuko who just shrugged.
"So, where are we staying?" She asked.
"Don't know, probably in some empty room in the palace…" Zuko said. "Do you want to go there now, or walk around the city for a while?"
"We can see the city after we know where we're sleeping." Katara insisted. A few minutes and pulled strings later, they had their own cozy room in the palace. Zuko and Katara almost immediately split, Katara going off to the same spa where she and Toph went years ago, and Zuko off to find his mystery girl.
