"Lee! Or…I guess that's not your real name."
Sokka stood and smiled at his friend. "How long have you been listening?"
"The whole time. I woke up to you guys sitting down at the table. Thank you, Sokka, by the way."
"No problem."
Jin squirmed around in her chair, twiddling her thumbs. "So, you're really him, huh?"
Zuko scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah, and, uh, I know this might be another punch in the gut, but I've also…kinda got a girlfriend."
Jin nodded. "Mai. I know."
Zuko went around the table, pulling out the chair next to Sokka and sitting down. "I'm sorry."
Jin held her hands up. "Oh, no, don't be sorry! I think it's amazing! I mean, your story is amazing, and I know you're going to make the world so much better and it's so cool that I actually went out to dinner with you…and you…lit up those lights…with…firebending…" she trailed off.
Sokka smirked. Lit up those lights? he mouthed to Zuko, who elbowed him in the stomach.
"Are you going to be okay?" Zuko asked her.
"Oh yeah! I'm going to be fine. Don't worry about me!"
But Zuko looked pretty worried.
And Jin looked like she was not going to be fine.
On their way home, they ran into a guy who was rambling to another guy about a beautiful girl named Jin that had come to his tea shop.
Zuko froze in his tracks, mouth half open. Then he leaned down, whispering to Sokka, "Do you believe in destiny?"
"What? Uh. I guess…?"
"Because I do. I think that you were destined to take me on this vacation." Then he went over and tapped the boy on the shoulder.
Yeah I know...super short and kinda a cliche ending, but...I wanted it to be all happy and destiny-like. Hope you enjoyed! :D
