Zuko and I were giving Toph a tour of the palace, her favorite spot being the Agni Ki stadium, figured I guess, when Sokka and Suki showed up. Oddly enough they showed up at the door. Suki ran up to hug me immediately as Zuko and Sokka exchanged smiles and nods. Partially hilarious and partially companionate. A guy thing, I guess. Sokka looked really, really good. He seemed impressed in how Toph looked the most though.
"Hey cutie" I waved receiving a shaky one back from Sokka. Suki busted out laughing at Sokka's face and Toph, probably at my stupidity. Zuko stood dumbfounded. He knows nothing about being a kid, or even a teen for that and I exchanged glances from Sokka's freaked look to Zuko's still one.
"Anyways" Zuko said interrupting the awkward moment. He looked to me. "Why don't you go catch up with Suki." I took the hint and led her up to my room.
"So how's the plan working" she asked as soon as we were out of everyone, Toph's, earshot.
"Pretty good actually. It seems like things haven't gotten weird yet. Well Katara's coming next and then Mai and her new boyfriend so I have a feeling the drama has no where near started." I answered truthfully.
"At least we have good seats for the show." Suki said nudging me. Agh, to much time with Sokka.
"When's Katara coming?" Suki asked.
'She should be here within a minute or so." I answered and went to the window to see Katara walking up. "Or now! Come on!" I was a bit overexcited.
"Katara!" Suki and I ran up to her all three of us embracing. What, its been a year since I've hugged someone. Zuko's not into that stuff and Mai left.
"It's been to long" Katara agreed. She looked amazing too. A sapphire colored dress, her necklace, and her hair was down.
"Toph, Sokka, and Zuko are somewhere in the palace. We were so nicely excused." I said.
"Or kicked out" Suki added "Whatever you choose to take of it"
"Come on. I know you haven't seen Sokka in a while." I said. Katara and Suki followed me to the main room I expected them to be in. Instead we got a bit of a surprise.
"Mai!?!" I yelled/asked running up to hug her. What? its a reunion! "And who's this?" I gestured to the teen next to her.
"Jet?!?!" Katara yelled/asked.
"Katara" he embraced her, much to the dislike of Mai.
Katara was nearly in tears. 'I thought in Lake Logai you..."
"So I take it everyone knows each other?" I asked. Then Zuko, Sokka, and Toph walked in.
"Jet" Sokka said almost as happy as Katara.
"Jet? But he" Toph shrugged.
"Sokka, Toph" Jet greeted. He turned around. "Lee?"
"Lee?" the rest repeated
"Right....Lee was a false name." Zuko explained.
"Well Zuko meet my boyfriend" Mai said smiling.
"YOUR BOYFRINED" Sokka, Zuko, and Katara all yelled.
"Ya" Mai said in a monotonous tone.
"Right" Katara said "Just a bit shocked"
"I'm so out of the loop" Suki said
"Dido" Toph said "And I was there!"
More silence. "Why don't we go get something to eat?" I suggested. Random okays and uh huh's were heard so I led everyone down to the tables we intended t eat at.
