Katara goes up on her toes and kisses Aang he kissed back and pulled her closer
Aang:geez
Katara:what's wrong sweetie
Aang:remembering how i was such a dork and idiot to you when were younger
Katara:okay name a few examples
Aang:i remember my deepest regret it was when i burnt you just because i wanted to learn firebending and skip the other elements
Aang looked ashamed at himself and Katara notices
Katara:Aang sweetie you had apologized so many times for that mistake i know it was an accident i know it was never on purpose i know you would never want to hurt me like that ok you're my husband now and i forgive you okay let's just put this behind okay
Aang:okay

Katara:i know you never will you a good man and if you hurt me i know it is an accident okay sweetie
Aang:okay
Katara wraps her arms around Aang and kisses him and he pulls her tightly around the waist then the door opens
Sokka:AANG KATARA SERIOUSLY?!
Katara:what were married and we can do whatever we want anyways
Sokka:but as you're my younger sister you shouldn't be kissing anyone in front of me especially in that way and you're still giving me oogies
Katara:firstly you have been using that word since you first saw Aang and i kissing in ba sing se like 28 years ago and secondly you 43 for goodness sake get a grip on yourself i've seen you kiss toph suki and yue!
Sokka and Katara argue and argue
Aang:hey Sokka?Sokka!
Sokka:okay break yea Aang
Aang:so what did you want to ask
Sokka:oh yea Zuko said that we're having a meeting with him all alone just to discuss some things
Aang:okay tell him that we will be there in 20
Sokka:okay and Katara no more kissing in front of me
Katara:you're so immature
Sokka:yep never gonna stop being this way
Sokka leaves the room smirking Katara sighs in relief
Katara:finally my older brother is gone
Aang:sometimes i can actually find him amusing
Katara:i know
Katara:hey you did say 20 minutes so let's get ready and all
Aang:yea you're right i guess we should start or we could be late
Aang takes off his shirt and Katara kinda stares
Aang:umm Katara?
Katara:oh um yeah Aang
Aang:what are you looking at
Katara:umm just your 6 pack have you've been working out they look stronger than before
Aang:yep always making an effort want to see my biceps
Katara:ha ha show off your hilarious
Katara gets her water tribe dress and pants
Katara:umm Aang can you turn around
Aang:okay
Aang turns around as Katara gets dressed
Aang:you know Katara i already know what you look like
Katara:so?
Aang:i was joking i'm not a pervert who looks at his naked wife
Katara:i already know you're not like that okay if you were i wouldn't have married you
Katara:you can turn around now i'm already done
Aang:okay
Aang goes and finds his shirt and undershirt and goes and puts it on from the top and Katara kisses him Aang laughs at the fact he's got a top stuck on top of his head
Aang:let's go down now
Katara:okay
Aang holds Katara's hand as they walk down the stairs and to the firelords chamber
Zuko:hey Aang hey Katara
Aang:hey
Zuko:so i basically gathered you all here for a meeting about the future and you are the one of the only people who i can trust i've trusted you all as kids remember
Sokka:yea all tho you did try to capture Aang and try to kill us
Katara waterbends and throws snow at Sokka's face
Sokka:GAH cold!
Katara:you can be so rude sometimes
Sokka:okay sorry Zuko for saying that comment
Zuko:no worries
Zuko:anyways continuing i have wanting to ask you all of what should we do for the future how can we protect those we love and the nations we live in
They all thought for a moment and then Aang broke the silence
Aang:maybe we could ask the help of the white lotus they are all masters and they have been protecting my family for a long time now i think we should let them help you as fire lord and we could ask our old friend king kuei if he needs any security in his nation
Zuko:that actually sounds like a bad idea i can arrange a meeting with him sometime after the funeral probably in a week or so thank you all for your opinion
They all leave the chamber and head straight up to there room Katara yawns
Katara:i'm going to sleep you going to?
Aang:yea might as well
Katara snuggles up to Aang as he went into the bed
Aang:hey Katara
Katara:yea
Aang:i have no idea how i have survived in the iceberg for 100 years without you keeping me warm
They both fall asleep and wake up the next morning and find they're black clothes
Katara:Aang have you seen my black dress anywhere?
Aang:i thought i saw it in the bathroom check there but have you seen my black tux and jacket
Katara:i ironed it out and left it outside on the railing to freshen it up and you jacket is hanging up in the closet
They both put on there funeral clothes on and start walking meeting up with Sokka and Toph
Sokka:good morning love birds had a nice sleep in
Aang:it actually kinda feels nice to sleep in for once
They all meet up with Zuko Mai and izumi at the caldera and some of his servants showed them where to sit
Fire sage:we are all gathered here today to celebrate the life of iroh of the fire nation he was a loved son,brother,uncle and a great friend and member to the white lotus he had sadly passed a few days ago in a peaceful sleep at the age of 93
There was more talking and worship until it was Zuko's turn to speak
Zuko:hey everyone as you know i'm Zuko nephew of Iroh i remember when i was 13 i was scared on my eye by my father the only person who had supported me for 3 years when i had to try and capture my friend Avatar Aang my uncle was the only person who was always there for me always keeping me calm and happy my only and biggest regret was in ba sing se when i worked with my sister and betrayed my uncle the person who cared and supported me through those years because i always thought if i ever went home if ever things went back to normal which never happened and when i went home to see my father have my place and honor i felt so angry and confused because i didn't know what was right or wrong anymore and then i realised it's not the throne or place i wanted i wanted my own way not someone else's destiny put on my life Iroh showed me what it is to have my own path and i am eternally thankful for his wisdom care and support
Fire sage:we shall now let Iroh rest in eternal life
They close the coffin and put eternal flame in it Zuko had tears in his eye's Mai confort Zuko
A couple of hours later was a big dinner Aang and Katara still had to get ready
Aang:hey sweetie can you please do my tie
Katara:okay coming but firstly can you see if my dress is okay?
Aang:okay let me see- whoa!
Katara wore a beautiful water tribe formal dress with swirls of blue and dark blue in it
Aang:Wow Katara you look beautiful
Katara:aww thanks sweetie
Katara kisses Aang on the forehead and he blushes
Katara:here let me do your tie
Katara does Aang tie and she smiles and Aang sneaks in a kiss on Katara's lips
Katara:come on sweetie your tie is on put on your jacket and lets go
Aang:yea okay
Katara holds Aang's arm and meet Toph and Sokka Toph holding Sokka's hand
Sokka:oh wow Katara you actually finally wear a nice dress
Katara:finally you can be your nice self you don't look that bad yourself
Toph:too bad i can't see anything
Katara:Toph i actually like your dress when was the last time i saw you in a dress
Toph:on your wedding day
Katara:that was like 10 years ago
Toph:i know but i feel like there's a lot of sneaking around but it looks so fuzzy everywhere
Sokka:maybe it's just your shoes
Toph:i guess you're right lets just go to dinner
They all walk to this big hall meeting Zuko Mai and izumi with all these other fire nation capitols and leaders and members of the white lotus they all find there seat's and Zuko speaks out
Zuko:welcome everyone here i am so grateful that all of you came in my uncle Iroh's funeral i am so honored and happy to see everyone here-
There was a big explosion and saw people wearing similar robes to the white lotus but they were red
Xai Bau:my name is Xai Bau leader of the red lotus you may think who are the red lotus we used to be part of the white lotus until i find out we're treated like an Avatar's or high people bodyguards this is not what i wanted to be in a the white lotus so i made this new society of people who has the same intelligence as me and think like me and our mission is to kill the Avatar and make sure that he isn't born again
Zuko does a huge fireball at them and most people run out
Zuko:Mai get Izumi out of here now EVERYONE OUT QUICKLY Aang Katara Toph and Sokka stay here with me we're going to do this like the old times let's show them who we are
Katara Zuko Aang Sokka and Toph got into position ready to fight then Aang's eyes glowed once
Xai Bau:AIM FOR THE AVATAR DON'T MIND EVERYONE ELSE
Katara:there's no way you're getting to my husband
Everyone runs towards each other and fight Katara does a tidal wave at one of them pushing them down unfortunately he was a firebender and electrocuted the water almost hitting katara and then Aang runs in front and redirects it
Aang:you okay you didn't get hurt or electrocuted
Katara:yea thanks sweetie LOOK OUT
Katara does a water punch up to a red lotus person trying to stick metal on Aang
Katara:you need to watch Aang
Toph senses red lotus footsteps that were closest to her and made them stuck in earth Sokka gets out boomerang and throws it hitting at least 5 people and then zuko electrocuted some people and made a big ball of fire
Xai Bau:WHERE ARE YOU GOING COWARDS FIGHT THEM FINE I WILL DO IT MYSELF
Xai Bau without Aang looking shot lightning at him on his back making Aang falling and hitting the ground still shaking
Katara:AANG NOO!
Katara surrounds water and Toph surrounds him with earth and runs straight to Aang holding him and gets some spirit water and tries to heal him
Katara:A-Aang can you h-hear me
Katara was crying and healing him then his arrow glowed once and made a groaning noise while he was waking up Katara hugged his head and he hugged her arm and then passed out
Toph:don't worry Katara he's still alive he's just passed out
Katara:thank god i'm just so scared i'm scared of him you know
Zuko looks around the place
Zuko:looks like we have a new threat Katara do yo want you guys to stay until Aang is better
Katara:yes i think that would be a good idea i will just call Ty lee to please stay with the kids for another week or two it shouldn't really bug her anyways she loves the kids
Some of Zuko's servants carried Aang's body and put him on his bed after the call with Ty lee she wakes up Aang for a bit and opens his eyes
Katara:hey Aang look what i made for you i made you those little vegetable dumplings you love open your mouth
She opens his mouth and puts a dumpling in there and he kinda chews it Aang tries to get up put Katara lays him down
Katara:Aang sweetie you need rest you're hurt very badly it could take weeks to heal you but for now i just want you to sleep so i can heal you okay sweetie
He kind of nods and she kisses him on the lips and shuts his eyes
