I'm a jerk. I know. An idiot. Sorry.
I'll make it up to you people… like updating another two chapters that I have already done. Yea. And for the record, holidays are coming so if I don't finish the story by these three chapters, I'll be updating.
Sorry again.
Disclaimer: I dropped a coin into a well and wished that I own Avatar. But the well turned out to be a really long box dug in sand, not a wishing well… get it?
Summer's End
Aang sneaked along the corridor to Sokka's room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard moaning. It sounded like Suki! Aang was in deep thought, his mind forming an idea of what was happening inside. He chuckled and his head accidentally hit the door loudly. Regretting what he did, Aang wanted to walk away quickly, but it was too late as the door opened.
"Hey Sokka! Um, what were you doing inside with Suki?"
Sokka looked as though he'd been busted. He looked left and right, then pulled Aang in hurriedly. "Please keep it a secret. Don't tell anybody, especially the cook!"
Aang had his eyes covered, thinking of something else. He blinked hard when he heard the word 'cook'. "What do you mean? I thought you and Suki were…? Huh?"
He looked around. There on the bed were cakes, cookies, pretzels, egg tarts and apples! "What are all these food doing here?"
Sokka raised his eyebrows as Suki appeared behind him, both holding the same confused expression at Aang. "I thought you knew?"
"Knew what?"
"That we snuck food out!"
"Stop shouting!"
"Sorry Suki," the two boys said childishly.

"So you need us to think of a plan for you to get together with Katara?" Suki asked, the three of them sitting on Sokka's bed surrounded by food.
"Yea. I really want to make it up to her. but I got nothing!"
"Suki, you're a girl. What would you like someone to do to make it up to you if they've hurt you really really extremely bad?"
"Thanks Sokka…" Aang rolled his eyes at Sokka's sarcasm. He was right though. The two looked at Suki. Suki bit her lip as she said, "Well, honestly, it depends on the girl. But, what I would want, if is the guy bought me out. Maybe on a dinner, or for a walk. Whichever suits."
Aang brightened at the suggestion and Sokka commented, "I know! You could bring her out, take her to dinner, then end it with a walk! It foolproof!"
Suki and Aang rolled their eyes. So it was settled, thought Aang.

Katara sat on bed with Shang. "Ok, tomorrow, while we're all out at breakfast, you could walk by and ask me to go to for dinner with you in front of them. That would make Aang really-"
"Are you sure about this? I mean.. from the look of Aang's face you can see how much he's really sorry and how he wants to make it up to you. I mean, he's practically desperate for you to forgive him," Shang paused to shift his gaze from his feet to Katara's face. "Can't you at least think this through? Do you really need to make him feel this pain?"
Katara looked at Shang, swallowing his questions. "Maybe you're right… but I really feel like I need to do this."
Shang sighed, "Whatever works for you.." He smiled at Katara, showing that he's not at all angry with her.
"So, what's the plan?"
"Ok, tomorrow at breakfast, you walk by and ask me to go out with you for dinner that night in front of Aang."

After a while, Shang walked out Katara's room, unexpectedly bumping into Toph. He jumped and turned around, blushing when he saw her. Her unemotional showing face stared blankly into the air as Shang bent his head down to look at her straight. Wondering whether she was lost or if she knew who she bumped into, he asked, "Um, I'm sorry Toph. Do you want help with anything? Can I escort you back to your room?"
"I need to talk to you."
remember when I said that there would be Teoph, yea I take that back. Sorry but I can't fit Teo in anywhere. This is the south pole and he is at the Northern Air temple… ok but there's an interesting twist coming up. Don't worry. No need to wait for next week, just click on the arrow pointing next!
