Chapter Four

Zuko asked his servants to get some food to cook on the open fire. His servants came back with roasted duck meat, already cooked, Aang had a salad and they were sitting around the campfire talking.

"So Zuko, what was…. your childhood like?" Katara asked munching on some bread. She was sitting next to Aang and leaning into him.

"There's not much too say. My dad said I was lucky to be born at all, and Azula was born lucky. My father never liked me. He thought of me as an embarrassment to the fire nation." Zuko looked away. "What about you Katara? What was your childhood like?"

"Mine was ok. Before the fire nation invaded the South Pole, my life was fine. But when I met Aang, I had hoped that the fire nation would be destroyed…" Katara explained.

"Speaking of the fire nation, how is our Mr. Fire Lord doing?" Sokka grinned goofily.

"Ugh, I hate it. So many responsibilities, so much work, everyday there's about 10 meetings…And—" Zuko began.

"Zuko! Stop worrying. This is your vacation. Relax." Mai said and snuggled closer to Zuko.

"I have an idea! We should play truth! I love that game!" Suki exclaimed.

"Ok! So, Zuko. How did you and Mai meet?" Aang Asked.

Instantly, Mai and Zuko blushed, and everyone leaned in knowing something good was going to be heard. "Well, I was Azula's best friend, and I knew Zuko." Mai answered.

"That's not the whole story!" Zuko complained.

Mai sighed. "It's a brief summary. Deal with it."

"So here's what happened. I knew Mai because she was friends with Azula. She was the only girl who I thought was normal. She was laid back and I liked her because of it." Zuko said.

Mai blushed. "I also had a little crush on him too…" Mai smiled and snuggled closer to Zuko who wrapped his arms around her.

"Aang, the truth. When you first met Katara, did you know she was the one?" Suki asked.

Aang blushed and Katara grinned widely. But Aang simply answered, "Yes. I do love you Katara." Katara smiled and kissed Aang.

Everyone stayed close to each other for a long time. But soon they were all telling really funny stories again.

"So, one time at the village, there was this guy. And he was so cute too, but he was full of himself thinking that just because he's a guy doesn't mean he can beat a girl in a fight. So, I proved him wrong." Suki exclaimed.

"Really? Who was it?" Sokka asked.

Everyone giggled. "Who do you think?" Suki asked grinning.

"Hmm, OH! I GOT IT! Foaming mouth guy!" Sokka yelled.

"Yeah, you're so right." Suki said sarcastically.

"Wait…then who…oh, that's real mature." Sokka said.

Everyone laughed. "You know Zuko, if you ever need any help with the meetings, I can always fill in for you." Aang offered.

Zuko sighed. "No, you can't do that. I wanted to be Fire lord, and it's my job to know what's going on in my kingdom."

"I see." Aang replied.

"C'mon guys! Lighten up! Don't talk about work, let's talk about funny things." Suki exclaimed. "Ok, let's play truth again! Ok, Sokka, what is the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to you at the South Pole." Suki asked smiling innocently at Sokka who held her close.

"Umm, I don't want to say." Sokka confessed blushing.

"What! What is it?" Katara asked leaning in. Everyone had wide grins on their faces.

"Ugh, one time at the village, I, I saw gran gran naked. And I didn't leave right away, just until she noticed me standing there…" All of a sudden, all of the girls buried there faces into their boyfriends chests.

"EWWWWW!" Everyone cried.

Suki stood up and slowly backed away and sat with Katara and Aang.

"I have a pretty funny story to tell too." Zuko exclaimed.

"Oh agni, this is going to be good." Mai said.

"You will like this because it involves you—"Zuko began.

"'Oh joy." Mai said.

"And Ty Lee and Azula…" Zuko smirked.

"Are you really going to tell the fountain story again? Ugh, Zuko…Everyone knows the story, it's embarrassing." Mai complained folding her arms and leaning away from Zuko.

"Ok, so when we were all kids, Mai was invited over to the palace because she was Azula's friend," emphasizing on friends with air quotes, "So one day, Azula decided to play a new game. She took an apple and put it on Mai's head, and shot fire to knock it off. She didn't, and the apple was on fire on her head. So I couldn't just let it burn on her head, so I kinda pushed her into a fountain…" Zuko lowered his voice at the last words.

Everyone burst out laughing; Mai's face reddened and she buried her head in between her legs, silently giggling. "Is that Mai, laughing? I didn't know she had a sense of humor. Huh Mai?" Zuko asked picking up her head which was even redder then before.

Everyone laughed. "That reminds me of the time when there was this boy at the village and I tried to show off and try and ride the elephant koi…" Suki smiled goofily.

"No way! I did that at Kyoshi Island. It was so much fun, but what happened?" Aang asked eagerly.

"Well, the Unagi didn't get to me, but the elephant Koi threw me off and I broke my arm because of it. But it was so romantic, how he picked me up out of the water…" Suki dazed off smiling.

"Hey! What about meee?" Sokka screeched.

"Sorry Sokka." Suki said and kissed Sokka sweetly on the lips.

XOXOXOXO

Everyone continued talking at the beach. They decided to sleep at the beach. The first that went to sleep were Suki and Sokka. Then Zuko and Mai. Katara and Aang decided to stay up for a while.

Katara and Aang lay next to each other and looked out at the ocean. "I love Ember Island. Don't you?" Katara asked.

"Yes it is." Aang replied.

"I love you Aang."

"I love you too Katara." They kissed and fell asleep, close to each other, hearing the beat of their hearts.
