A/N: I just finished watching Hook, I love the original Peter Pan, as in the book, its so interesting… so in other words I'm all giddy from watching Peter Pan and instead of spreading my joy I decided to sit in the dark and type fanfiction stories while my mom makes me brownies! Yay brownies! So yeah… here is the next chapter!

The Sunshine came into the window awaking the newly appointed fire lord. He stirred from his slumber and gently placed a kiss on his fiancés nose, then headed to the bathroom to take a bath. He took off his pajamas and slid into the warm bath water. (omg pajamas is the funniest word!)

He closed his eyes as he cleaned his hair. He thought about everything that had happened in the last few years, chasing the Avatar meeting Katara, getting tricked by Azula, cutting his hair and finally when he got lost in the woods with his would be bride. Of course she wasn't then, that was when he had finally let all his emotions that he bottled up inside out.

He gave a slight smile when he remembered the very first time he felt anything for Katara. He had just captured her and had her tied to a tree, he realized she was extremely loyal, a very good quality, and very pretty, another good quality. After that whole ordeal he decided quickly that what he felt was lust not love, and these thoughts needed to be rid from him as he was a prince and she was a water tribe girl, not a good mix. But hard as he tried he just couldn't get her thought from his mind. He remembered when the bounty hunter girl, Jun, had referred to Katara as his runaway girlfriend. This made him angry and embarrassed, to not show his true feelings he simply ignored her, even when she had told him Katara was to pretty for him. That made him realize even if they could make it work, that it wouldn't do to his hideousness from the scar. That particular memory made him cringe.

He opened his eyes when he heard the door open and his lovely fiancé was standing there with her arms crossed.

"Katara!" He smirked not bothering to cover up. "And you scold me."

Katara matched his smirk and rolled her eyes. "I just thought you might want to know you have been in here for an hour."

Zuko was a bit shocked he hadn't realized he took so long. "I'll be out in a minute."

Katara gave him a funny smile as she turned and left the bathroom. Zuko let the water out and refilled it for her as he put on his robe. He shook his head like a shaggy dog letting water spray everywhere. When he left the bathroom Katara sat on the bed patiently.

"About time." She teased getting off the bed and passing him to the bathroom. But his arm was fast as he grabbed her and pulled her bag so that she could kiss him. He loved that feeling. That feeling she gave him when she kissed him, it was like a mixture of bad food and ridding on a bumpy ostrich horse.

Katara went into the bathroom and began to take her bath while Zuko headed to the closet to decide what he would wear for the day. After much searching he just decided he would wear something comfy, something not so fancy.

Just as he was coming from the closet, (he's not gay) Katara came from the bathroom. She bended the water from her hair and made her way to the closet to pick out some clothes. She decided just to where her old water tribe outfit, it became sentimental and she couldn't part with it. She did her hair they way she always did and came into the bedroom to join Zuko.

They smiled at each other and linked arms trying to seem like the fancy couple that they just were not. They made their way down to the dinning room, when they arrived Iroh was already there sipping his tea as usual. They both said good morning to the retired general as they sat down in their respected seats.

"So, when do these parties start?" Iroh asked, it was a small attempt to break the ice.

Zuko grumbled remembering about the parties he so desperately didn't want anything to do with. "I don't know."

Katara rested her hand on the prince's and smiled at Iroh. "Around seven, but basically it can start for whenever everyone is here."

Iroh nodded. "By the way, one of your friends is already here, just pulled into the dock this morning."

Katara was stunned. "What? Who?"

The doors smashed open and slammed against the walls. "That would be me!" A short girl pointed to herself proudly.

"Toph!" Katara jumped from her seat and ran over to the blind earth bender.

"Easy there." The girl said trying not to fall over. Katara released her short friend and offered her a seat beside her.

"What brought you here so early?" Katara asked shoving eggs into her mouth excitedly.

Toph shrugged. "You know me, anything to get away from home."

Katara smiled and began to dig into her food quickly so that she could go with Toph.

"It is very nice to see you again Toph." Iroh smiled from the other side of his teacup.

"Like wise." Toph replied.

Katara finished her food and grabbed her glass of milk. "Oh Toph, this will be so much fun!"

Toph gave an evil grin. "Yeah, especially what I have planned."

Zuko looked up from his meal to say his first words to the earth bender. "Why, What have you planned?" His voice had a hint of worry but wasn't really noticed.

Toph sensed it though and her grin became wider then ever. "Nothing to worry about Mr. Sun."

Always with the nicknames. Zuko thought to himself, he hated all the weird nicknames he gave her, but they were pretty creative.

After breakfast the two girls went for a walk in the gardens and Zuko was stuck in a large dark room, sitting at a large dark table, leaning on his left hand listening to his uncle talk about the towns peoples complaints.

"Uncle, I am a horrible ruler. My nation hates me." Zuko's words stopped his uncle in mid sentence.

"Fire lord Zuko, you know that isn't true." Iroh scolded as he put down the papers.

Zuko looked away with a face saying he felt horrible. "I know that they all think I betrayed my father, they think I only did it to get the thrown, they hate me."

Iroh shook his head. "That is definitely not true, you stopped the war, Families thank you for reuniting them! Mothers and wives can finally rest in peace and they owe it all to you! Not to mention the other nations who wipe there brows in relief knowing the war is finally over and they wont need to fight any longer." Zuko just looked away. "In my own opinion, I think you are the best Fire lord there has been in about a hundred years." He gave his nephew a smile and Zuko looked at him and returned it.

"Thank you uncle."

The two girls strolled through the gardens looking at the turtle-ducks in the pond and the various little birds that flew around.

"I can't believe you and Zuko are getting married. A year ago I didn't see this coming…" Toph told her the water bender walking next to her.

Katara looked into the sky. "Love is full of surprises that way I guess."

"That line is lame. Don't say that again." Toph joked as they walked to the doors.

Katara just laughed and opened the doors. "It's a bit after noon, how about we go down to the docks and see if we can see anyone coming."

Toph agreed and the two of them made their way through the building.

Toph dangled her feet in the water. "You know, this feels really weird on my feet."

"Maybe it would wash them off." Katara giggled. Toph shoved her a little and Katara shoved back, then Toph shoved her into the water.

Katara popped her head out of the water and lifted her hair loopies from her face. She just couldn't help but laugh historically and neither could Toph. Katara pulled herself out of the water and water bended all of the wet from her.

Katara looked up at the horizon and saw a black dot. "Toph! I think I see Appa!"

"How far away?" Toph asked not moving her head at all.

"They'll probably be here in a few minutes!" She then began waving as the speck got closer and closer.

Finally the flying bison landed on the dock with a thud and three figures jumped off.

The first one, (the shortest one) ran up to Katara and hugged her. "Katara! We missed you!"

"Hey Aang, I missed you too." Katara replied, Aang let her loose and her older brother came over and hugged her.

"So this is it, my little sister is getting married… to the fire lord!" Her brother began to sob into her shoulder.

"Oh Sokka," She comfortingly purred. "You'll get over it." Sokka frowned and moved out of the way as the third guest ran up to her with arms wide open.

"Suki! So glad you could come!" Katara hugged her friend and then pulled out.

"I am so happy for you Katara! This is like the biggest deal! We are going to have so much fun tonight!" Suki smiled. "Hey Toph!"

Sokka and Aang saw Toph sitting on the deck.

"Hey Toph!" Aang said surprised she was there.

Toph acknowledged them to show she knew that they existed and continued splashing her feet.

"Come on let's get you guys back to the palace! Zuko's doing some business with Iroh and should be down shortly." Katara told them as she leaded them to the palace.

"This party is going to be so awesome, Sokka!" Aang whispered.

Sokka looked around inconspicuously. "Especially since we stopped in the desert and collected some cactus juice." Sokka gave him a nudge and a wink. Aang just gave a nervous laugh and followed the others.
