A/N! Well…. Here is number 3… oh btw their about to land at the palace. Sorry this chap took sooooo long! But its here now! Yay!

Normal POV

"Whoa…." The all said in unison. The entire kingdom had been decorated for the holidays, red, gold, and green everywhere! It now being dusk, street lamps started to light up on the road as they flew over. There was a person fire bending each one lit down below. The person waved up at the group as they all waved back. As they got closer to the palace, now going down at a slow steady, downward pace. Zuko came into vision, with Mai clinging to his side waving with barely any emotion. They landed on part of the greens within the palace walls. Zuko started running towards the landing bison, oddly over excited leaving Mai still gloomily standing there, as soon as they touched down everyone jumped off and ran to give Zuko a big group hug.

"Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph!" Zuko said with barely any breath. But suddenly Appa groaned and Momo chattered.

"Oh, and Appa and Momo." He said walking away from the group to pet Appa and give Momo some fruit. Toph whispered into Aang's ear.

"What's got him so peppy?" Aang covered his mouth and laughed a little.

"Well don't just stand there!" Zuko said arms wide. "Explore find your rooms!" A smile spread across all of their faces as they all looked at each other and nodded knowing what they were all thinking.

Suddenly, like the group was kids again, Zuko was tackled to the ground in a playful way as everyone piled on.

"Thank you Zuko!" They all hollered as they got off to grab their stuff from Appa's saddle. As they walked towards the hall where all the important guests stayed, their names started to appear on carved doors. The order went Katara, Sokka, Toph, and then Aang. Quickly they all explored their new temporary homes. First Aang rushed into his room, being faster then everyone else. His room was obviously the most elegant and the best, being the avatar. His bed had a canopy made of fine silks; he had a screen to a courtyard, a fine tea set, a Pi Sho table, a meditation area and more. Quickly he ran to his huge bed and jumped on to its nice soft mattress. "First things first, sleep!" Aang yelled loud enough for them all to hear as he pulled the covers over himself.

Toph quickly ran after him, her room being right next door. She opened the door to be amazed at all the decorations. Her bed wasn't nearly as fancy as twinkle toes but she didn't care. Toph looked around to see a good-sized tree in the corner all ready decorated. Exploring she found a make-up table which she of course immaturely gagged at, but Katara was going to make her do her make up so might as well ignore it for now. In all her room was gorgeous, she barely looked around when she collapsed on top of her bed. Toph drifted off to sleep, following Aang's lead.

Katara rushed into her room taking it all in, she started to packed away all her things in a small dresser, she didn't have any fancy clothes which disappointed her but Toph and her would go shopping soon enough. Correction, Katara would go shopping and drag Toph along.

Sokka didn't even look around his room just found the bed and passed out.

It was nearing dusk as everyone including Zuko walked the halls getting a tour. Zuko was about to show the royal garden when he heard the bell that meant to get ready for the royal dinner. It wasn't the holiday feast, but simply a meal where many important citizens dined during the holiday season.

"Time to get ready!" Zuko called.

"But Zuko!" Katara yelled.

"We have nothing to wear but this!" She said pointing out her water tribe clothing. "Don't worry I sent some servants up to your rooms, they dropped some dining wear." Zuko said as he walked towards his room.

Suddenly everyone stole a quick glance at each other, as they all rushed down the hall pushing each other as they went. Trying to be the first to see what they were to be wearing tonight. Toph and Aang were neck and neck running next to each other pushing each other playfully. But Katara, worrying so much about her appearance left the two in the dust. Sokka was a couple of feet ahead of Toph and Aang as they continued to playfully distract each other. Finally they all knew what they were to be wearing. Sokka was wearing simple red silk robes with gold accents. Katara was wearing a red kimono with gold accents. Apparently the servants have a thing for brother sister themes Toph was wearing just the opposite, she was wearing a gold kimono with red accents. And you could probably guess what Aang was wearing. When they all walked out from their rooms a butler was waiting for them.

"Eh-hem" The butler cleared his throat. They all listened up to what he had to say.

"I am here to tell you who will be escorting who." The butler pulled out a scroll and read,

"Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe will be escorting Miss Katara of the Southern Water tribe." Sokka looked over at Aang with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"Avatar Aang," The butler did a slight bow towards him, "Will be escorting Miss Toph Bei Fong" Aang and Toph looked at each other with light smiles as they hooked each others arms together as Aang straightened up trying to look regal. Immediately Toph burst out laughing, and Aang loosened up and joined in.

"That is all." The butler closed up the scroll and walked away with a bow.

As everyone hooked their arms up again they set out to the dinning hall.
