Disclaimer: I still don't own it.

A/N Erm, special stuff. Sorry if this sucks, I try my best but I can't know if it's any good if you don't review! So please, please do! I don't care if you hate it, just tell me and I'll change (to a certain extant). Once again, sorry this is so short.

Chapter 3: Surprise

Sokka was prepared to be shoved away, to be told never to show his face again. It would almost be better than being accepted and feeling like a fool. Then he would be right in saying that the Fire Lord had changed Katara, for his baby sister would never have done something like that. But he also hoped that she could forget what he had done to her, that everything would go back to normal. So he was undecided about his feelings when Katara ran up to him with open arms and welcomed him to the Fire Nation Palace.

"Sokka! You're here! You actually came!" Katara exclaimed excitedly but also sort of sadly. "Suki said you were but I just wasn't sure…" Sokka looked into his sister's face and immediately felt guilty. If what he had done was so bad that Katara wasn't sure if he was actually coming when he said he would, then it must have been even worse than Suki had made it seem. "I'm so sorry Katara." He said. Her face suddenly lightened and Sokka felt the guilt lift slightly from his features. Suki looked over at him and smiled, coming up behind him and placing a delicate hand on his shoulder. It still astounded her sometimes how much she loved him, as idiotic as he was sometimes. Even if Sokka couldn't understand what Katara saw in the Fire Lord (besides the fact that he was amazingly attractive), Suki could see in their eyes when they looked at each other; not only were they head over heels for each other, but they completed each other perfectly. Just in the short time that they had been in the Fire Nation, Zuko had smiled more. And even Sokka could see that Katara was happy. That, if nothing else would convince him that their marriage was for the better.

It was obvious that Katara had forgiven Sokka, but her husband was a different matter.

Zuko walked cautiously up to his brother-in-law, a look something akin to revulsion on his face. The Fire Lord extended his hand slowly and to his surprise, Sokka took it, an almost identical expression on his. Katara's face broke into a wide smile and both of the men, as different as they were, were pleased to see it. Now if I can just get them to smile at each other… Katara smirk broadened as a plan formed in her devious mind. And neither of them are leaving until it is carried out.
