AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I don't own Avtar the last air bender...sadly...The series was created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who served as executive producers along with Aaron Ehasz.
FLASH BACK:
"My lord, the Avatar and his companions has arrived as well…as well as their un-human friends…"
"Thank you Mushu" retorted Zuko who tried to peer over his stack of unfinished scrolls to the short, thin man with the lengthy mustache. Being FireLord consisted of excrucatiating duties that held rewarded him with emotonal and physical stress.
"You know Sir…about my salary…"
"Not now Mushu…"
Zuko got up from his second throne in his office, and passed Mushu who stood there with a frown implanted on his ratty face as he watched the beloved young Fire Lord rushed in great haste to meet his friends who he haven't met in quite a long time. And her...
His soft-spoken footsteps hurriedly encountered the marble floor of the home he grew up in and the nightmares that resided of his past life slowly being replaced by dreams. He cut through the passageways quickly with such excitement...and then he found them. And her...
"My best man! You know these walls could use a splash of blue."
Zuko smiled at the untimely sarcasm and spirit of Sokka. "Hey Sokka." he said as he rushed to greet him, with Sokka pulling him in a bear hug.
"I should have really rented you this palace…"
"You wouldn't do that to your best bud who is infamously getting married like in three weeks."
"It's just the engagement party right…" asked Zuko quite nervously as he managed to say the words.
"Is that a problem, ohh dear Fire Lord?"
Zuko eyes averted to the stunning woman who was surprisingly engaged to Sokka. Well not surprisingly, because he always managed to stumble on their great love affair back in the Southern Air Temple. He still tried to erase the memory, but he was mentally scarred. He was just flabbergasted Suki actually liked Sokka let alone love in terms of romance. Everyone liked Sokka but still…
"Suki!"
"Don't Suki me! I said before I got here I want the lilies up around this palace! Come here you sparky guy!" Suki as you know was ignoring Toph's command in leaving the nicknames to her. It was't quit beneficial for her.
Suki rushed on Zuko pulling him in a tight hug and before he had the chance to pull away, kissed him on the cheek mildly teasing him.
"I think I am the one getting married to this little warrior!", said Sokka humorously but hinted with jealousy as he wound his arms around the petite, fierce, lady, who Zuko mentally marked as " Cute but Deadly".
"What about the chairs and tables over here!" said a certain earth bender roughly referring to herself and the others. The remaining who stood, watched the reunion with the Fire Lord and the engaged couple.
"Aang."
No words could have been said as they pulled each other in a hug, displaying of true and eternal friendship.
He then moved toward to the girl, who was blind and appeared fragile. Zuko knew better, for she was as strong as Sokka's love for meat and again...sarcasm.
"Wanna hug?" she said with a hint of humor and mischief in her voice.
"I don't think so...But-"
Toph pulled him into a such tight embrace, his lower body became paralyzed, with his face turning red and eyes protruding from it's sockets, at the effect of the earth bender's enormous, unbelievable strength.
Squirming away from the little muscular arms, he escaped Toph and approached...Her. Her...
"Has the Avatar been treating you good lately?"
"He tries..." she said with a smirk playing across her face and her sapphire eyes glowing intensely as those of Azula's deadly flames. However the girl's who was adjacent to him were welcoming. They were enticing.
"Woudcha hug al'ready!" said Toph impatiently. "Sokka's already follow the fancy pansy chefs around here!"
Katara neared him so quickly, and put her slender arms around him so suddenly, that he wore an astonished look on his face. His mouth became dry, as he smelled her wild hair hinting roses. Did he smell good? He then tightens her embrace and whispers into her ear, causing her a fit of giggles "Your brother is drooling already. By the way, WELCOME."
They quickly parted allowing Katara to go to her boyfriend, the Avatar, Aang. Him...
"Let's eat some pork stake!"
Reality
"He's lucky.", said Zuko a bit remorse.
"If you mean Aang, how so?" Sokka replied who was obviously oblivious of Zuko's tone in his previous statement.
"He's marrying your sister...Goddamnit!"
"Woahhh...Someone's kinda cranky. You said it your self. She's a bi-"
"Are you calling your sister a female dog?"
"Do you see what I'm drinking? Does it matter? I am already high on cactus juice. So how's he lucky?"
Zuko quickly regretted his statement. He was talking to HER BROTHER for Agni's sake! Anways, Sokka was right. He was a bit tipsy on the intoxicator. Sokka or neither Zuko for the matter would remember their discussion. The cactus juice was consuming his system already.
"Your sister is... amazing", Zuko said taking a wild gulp of the drink.
Sokka drank a glass of the cactus juice first before e had a chance to retort. As the cactus juice ran down his esophagus, his senses went wild. The liquid's taste itself was strong holding a tangy taste and a bitter after taste along with it. As it entered his mouth, it gushed to his cheeks, which were burning with such sensation in response. It finally found its way to his gullet, which began to tickle as the liquid flame down, rubbing and purring down his throat. "So is yours", he finally said.
Zuko and Sokka look at one another quickly as they wonder at Sokka's burst of madness. After a few seconds of confusion, they burst into laughter. Zuko's sister was one of helluvajob.
"She is hot you know."
Zuko's golden eyes widened at Sokka's second, well err...other outburst.
"You calling my sister HOT?"
"You calling my sister AMAZING?"
"AMAZING doesn't have to be HOT...LIKE MY BABY, INSANE, BUT BABY SISTER!"
"Amazing can still be hot..."
"So you really think my sister...is hot?"
"Azula is pretty good-looking. Nice hair, nice skin, nice li-"
"STOP IT!"
"Just saying dude..."
"You my friend are getting married."
"I can still fantasize."
"You fantasize about MY SISTER!"
"Just kidding man...She is still smokin' hot though."
"Whatever...But don't ever say that again. Or-O-Or I will slit your thr-"
"Now you see where 'm coming from. I do not want any thing happen to my sister. Angel or demon."
Zuko gulped at the thought. However, he could relate. Azula was his sister who he hated, with all his heart. However, he did not want some perverted guy come on to her.
"So my sister is amazing?"
Zuko winced. "Yea..."
"How so?"
"Amazing water bender, Amazing Cook, Amazing humanitarian, Amazing-
"Anything physically amazing?" Sokka asked suspicously as he sipped the juice.
"She is beautiful...amazingly beautiful", Zuko said dreamily and softly, despite the protective glare from Sokka's eyes.
"You like her don't you?"
"WH-Nahhh.."
"Don' fool with me Fire Lord"
"What does it matter? Aang's marrying her?"
"Because I said so."
"And because he wants to."
"Here's the deal. Tell my sister."
"She is romantically involved with Aang! And probably engaged right now!"
"Who cares? Tell her. You won't be marrying her though. Or ANTHING ELSE..."
