Now, as you all remember, Sokka was in Ba Sing Se. He had found himself frequenting The Jasmine Dragon quite a bit, heavily enjoying the affordable tea.
He had had a few days of complete peace and quiet and he was taking full advantage of them, knowing they were fated to end soon. He didn't know when, but he did know it would be very, very, very soon.
He knew it was going to be so soon he just might die the minute Zuko and Mai walked into the tea shop and sat across from him. What could they possibly want from him?
"Sokka, I have a stalker," stated Zuko. Mai, sitting beside him, nodded in the affirmative.
Sokka, wholey not caring in the slightest, looked at the Fire Lord with a blank expression.
"And you're telling me because...?"
"You owe us!" said Mai, crossing her arms.
"Well, you owe me," Zuko corrected. "I was completely humililated at that dinner party because of you. And the Avatar even said that you have to do any reasonable favor for me to compensate."
"It was your fault you even listened to my advice! Compensate yourself. And anyway, getting rid of your stalker doesn't sound like a reasonable favor."
Zuko stared at Sokka for a few long seconds. "Anyway, her name is Jin and she lives in Ba Sing Se. Luckily, you're here already so you already have one thing down. She thinks my name is Li for reasons that would take too long to relay to you, but please, just get her off my back..."
He leaned towards Sokka, glancing at Mai from the side. "Mai's been getting real pissed off lately because of it and well, let's just say I'm very frustrated."
Sokka's face literally turned green. "Woah, man. I did not need to know that. And did you listen to a word I even said?"
The Fire Lord gave the warrior a grateful smile and patted him harshly on the shoulder, causing the boy to flinch in pain. "Thanks! I'd say I owe you one, but...I don't! Make sure you get rid of her soon, 'cause my Uncle is holding a small party here next month. I don't want her crashing, know what I mean?"
Sokka stared at the couple's retreating backs and stared at the empty chairs across from him, registering what had just happened.
"I've just been jipped! By Zuko!"
Iroh lumbered jovially on past the young adult and patted his belly, laughing. "My nephew has selective hearing. Believe me, he's impossible."
Sokka slammed his head on the table in defeat.
So this was karma.

Mmkay, so this little story-line will probably span a few chapters with a little sprinkling of add-ons that can allow them to stand on their own as well.
Haa, I've always wondered what would happen if Jin and Mai and Zuko all ran into each other. Ahaha.
"Li?"
I luffles Zuko! Yay XDD
Sokka, too, whom this anthology is mostly centered around.
And don't fear, Toph will make an appearance...sometime in the future. Don't know when, but she's my favorite female character next to Azula. Can't not include her, you know?
Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed. This is just a small farewell present to the summer break that I'm going to miss dearly. School starts in less than 24 hours. Sad.
Don't forget to review and remember, any suggestions will be appreciated and for the most part used. Hahaha, I've been kinda blah on plotlines lately XPP
Sankyuuuu :)
PS. Tege: Answer - You'd be surprised XDDD
