Chapter 4
Happenings over breakfast
"Uh, ah ha" Zuko gave a nervous laugh "How about I get my cooks to make us all some breakfast and we can discuss that over breakfast!" "Katara? What have you been up to?" Sokka asked, Aang grinned nervously at Katara he had a feeling he already knew what had happened last night Katara just grinned at Sokka "You'll find out later Mr. Pushy pants" "HEY! I'M the name giver around here!" but Katara just walked away gracefully, planting a kiss on Zuko as she passed. Sokka raised an eyebrow and made a gagging face looking at the others "did she just? And he's the, well, I'm lost! This just doesn't make any sense! I mean Aang I thought, but she she" Aang patted Sokka's shoulder grinning and trying to suppress a laugh "What? What happened? Why is Sokka choking on his tongue" Toph asked "I have a feeling we're all gonna find out in the next hour or two" Aang replied
Later at breakfast everyone was eating (Sokka rather noisy) "Sokka must you eat loud enough for the whole fire nation to hear you! Ugh, you're so gross!" Sokka didn't even seem to hear her so they all finished eating and after the last pancake had been eaten Zuko and Katara stood up
"We have an announcement to make" Zuko declared "uh, did he just say 'we'?" "SOKKA STOP INTERRUPTING!" Katara snapped, Zuko continued "Last night, I broke up with Mai" everyone gasped, Zuko continued "Because I found out, that I loved Katara more, and last night, I proceeded to make her my queen!" Sokka dropped his fork and it clanged loudly to the floor but he remained quiet and Katara was the next one to speak "I know what you're all thinking, and I know how much Zuko has harmed us in the past, but as you all can see he's changed! And…what you guys DON'T know is…a few months back when he first joined the group, when I was still acting harsh towards him, he took me to the man that killed our mother, I didn't do anything rash I promise! But that's when me and Zuko began to talk, and connect, and I found out that we really weren't that different, and also…that I loved him, I hope that you all will respect my choice, because I said yes!" and for the first time Sokka spoke up "WELL! This has been an interesting breakfast! But…" he stood up and walked over to Katara and wrapped her in a hug "I'm glad you got things figured out" and then he turned to Zuko "As for YOU," he said shoving a finger at Zuko's chest "if you ever, EVER, hurt her, you better run! I may not be a bender but NO-ONE will hurt my sister and get away with it!" "SOKKA!" "No, Katara it's ok" he turned to Sokka "Sokka, I give a fire king's promise, that I will NEVER, hurt Katara, I'll protect her with my life" "Thanks Zuko, and you have already kinda proven that you will protect Katara, when you jumped in front of Azula's lightning bolt to protect my careless sister" "HEY I wasn't being careless, I just wanted to help!" "WELL ENOUGH!" Zuko broke in "I'm sure the rest of you are tired from your travels so if you'd like you may all take your things to a room and rest if you'd like, I'll have some of my guards take care of Appa and Momo for you" then he turned to Katara "And then I'm taking you to the seamstress' so that they can prepare you're fire nation queen coronation robes and I'll also have them prepare a decent wardrobe for you, but if you'd rather continue to wear your water tribe attire that will be fine as well, don't change because of my nation's traditions" "No, it's fine, I don't mind" she wrapped her arms around Zuko's neck and they kissed "UGH! At least WARN me before you go all kissy kissy in front of me!" Sokka exclaimed. They just ignored him
