Zuko and Mai's Story Part 2:
It was a few hours later, and Zuko and Mai had found a small cave as their shelter. There were near by trees with fruit on them, and there was a small spring next to the cave. The tropical breeze of the island made the ground in the cave soft over time.
"Well, I hate to say Zuko, but you actually picked a spot I liked."
"So, I usually don't make decisions you like?" Asked Zuko.
"No, it's not that. I just… usually don't like a lot of things…"
"So I'm guessing I should take that as a compliment then?" Zuko asked.
"You could…" Mai replied.
She walked over slowly to him and whispered in his ear.
"You want to guess one of the other few things I actually like?"
Zuko smiled lightly.
"Hmmm…. You don't usually smile." Mai quirked.
"Your one of the few things I smile at."
A little while later, Zuko had gone out to check the near by area to see if the rest of the gang was near by. Mai stayed behind to make sure nothing bad happened to the camp. She tried making a small campfire in the middle of the area they were staying at. While she was making it, she noticed a few small stones that had a some wood inside of it. She suddenly had an idea…
Zuko came back about 10 minutes later and looked around the camp. The campfire was burning brightly, but Mai was nowhere to be found.
'Where is she?' Zuko thought.
He then noticed the inside of the cave was glowing lightly. He slowly walked toward it. Inside the cave, he saw a few stones that seemed to be shaped like candles. A small fire was burning in each of them. The candles were circling the canopy of the couple's parachute, which was currently being used as a blanket.
"I didn't know you were into all of this." Zuko remarked.
"I'm not." Mai replied, laying on the soft ground. The canopy covered her body, with only her head sticking out.
"I guess my next question is… are you…"
Zuko looked over towards the back of the cave. He noticed Mai's clothes were laying back there. Mai smiled.
"I thought that I would have been able to do this at the resort we were going to go to… but I guess I'm going to have to deal with this."
"Mai… are you sure you want to do this…"
Mai smiled.
"We're engaged, remember? That's why Aang had everyone go on this trip he won, he wanted all of us together to celebrate our engagement."
She sat up slowly; making sure the chute still covered her hidden treasure.
"I think I'm ready to do this with you. Zuko… I want to exchange your inner fire... with mine…"
Zuko smiled.
"The fire of life…"
Mai nodded.
"Now… won't you come under here with me… where it's nice and warm?"

Suki's Story Part 2:
Suki walked across the island. She felt alone…. vulnerable…. scared. She wanted to be with her friends… she wanted to be with Sokka. This was supposed to be her vacation with him… not Toph and him. Why didn't she see this before? Why didn't she see the signs that she liked Sokka? Why didn't she see it before? Why did she have to be so nice to her…?
It was a little while after the gang was hanging out and talking. Suki, Katara, and Toph were walking down a street,, continuing to talk about their previous conversation with the rest of the group.
"All I'm saying is that it's not a bad idea to take a risk, Toph."
"It's suicide, Suki. It's just too risky." Toph replied.
"But then you'd be missing out on a wonderful experience. The feeling of doing something no human being can do. To fly."
"If we weren't meant to fly, we'd have wings. I'll stick with reality and stay on the ground, thank you very much."
Katara smirked. "Is that why you won't even go near the water?"
Toph groaned. "Don't even get me started there. I don't even want to be near it. Ever."
"But Toph, even if you couldn't swim, wouldn't you want to just hear the sound of the waves? Wouldn't you want to just touch the soft, cool water?"
Suki suddenly had an idea. She smiled.
"Hmmm…"
"I hate it when you do that, if this is a plot to make me go skydiving…" Toph remarked.
"No. Not at all." Suki replied.
"Then what is it?" Asked Katara.
Suki smiled. "Let me ask you Toph. Do you want to hear the sound of the waves, and feel the touch of the water?"
Toph looked at her confused. "Sure..."
"Girls, meet me at the beach tomorrow…"
"I'm not letting you teach me how to swim."
"Don't worry… You won't have to swim in the ocean at all. But trust me, after tomorrow, you'll like the air a little better."

Aang and Katara's Story Part 3:
Katara walked back to the campsite. She looked around and noticed Aang wasn't there.
"Where is…"
Aang suddenly snuck up behind her.
"Boo."
Katara almost dropped the food she collected.
"Aang!"
Aang chuckled and she smiled. She walked over and put their food supply over by the shelter Aang had built.
"Your nuts you know that?"
"I've always been nuts. What's your point?" Aang asked in response.
Katara laughed. "Don't I know that…"
Aang walked over to Katara and wrapped his arms around her.
"I've always been nuts about you."
Katara smiled.
"Hey Katara…"
"Yeah…"
She wanted him to say it. Those three little words she was dying to hear since they stated dating.
"I…."
'This is it!' She thought.
"I think the others on those three other islands over there."
Aang let go of her and pointed to them. Katara sighed in disappointment for a moment, then looked at where Aang was pointing.
"Aang, those islands are really far away. We each jumped out nearly seconds apart…"
"Our jet was moving quickly!"
"Even if you're right Aang, there's no way we can get to those islands, at least not yet. We'll need to wait."
Aang sighed as Katara went to go make dinner.
"There has to be a way…"

Sokka and Toph's Story Part 3:
Toph sighed. She had been waiting for Sokka to come back with the wood for almost 30 minutes. She wanted to be with him. She sighed and blew away the hair covering her eyes. She wished she was still in that tree with Sokka. Sure, they were dangling a few feet above the ground. But she was with him. She had an excuse when they were freefalling to wrap her legs around Sokka's legs. She was able to see every little bit of him. Every… little bit of him…
She blushed, knowing that she probably shouldn't have used her special senses to look at his… thing. But she was curious. She was awake before him anyway and she was bored. What was a girl suppose to do, right? She had thought about their adventure, which she did admit was slightly fun; thought she promised never to let Suki or Katara know she thought that. But then she thought about Sokka, and being able to be alone with him. One thing led to another, and then she saw… it. She quickly stopped sensing it, but that was because Sokka was waking up, and she quickly pretended to be unconscious again. She had learned the trick from when her parents used to make her go to those stupid parties. All she had to do was fake being ill, and she could skip it. But this… this was her best act yet.
She suddenly heard Sokka coming back and acted natural. She slowly got up and looked around, looking for some kind of flower she could quickly put in her hair to woo Sokka. She felt something small on the ground and touched it. She felt leaves, and there was a small circle in the middle of the leaves.
'Perfect…' She thought.
She grabbed it and picked it up quickly…
Sokka was carrying a ton of wood to build the shelter. He walked into the campsite and noticed the chute's canopy was covering Toph.
"Umm… why is that…"
She cut off his question. "I don't know, Meathead. I thought I saw a flower on the ground and I was reaching for it. I don't know how this got on me."
"Why were you reaching for a flower?" Sokka asked.
"Well I was… trying to see what kind of plants were around here. Everyone in the earth kingdom does that. It's what we do…. Yeah…"
"Ooookkkkk…" Replied Sokka.
He walked over by Toph and noticed what she picked up.
"You pulled the chute's ripcord."
"No I didn't. This thing had leaves."
"Yeah, there were leaves around the cord."
Toph blushed in embarrassment under the chute. "Oh."
Sokka took the chute off of her, causing Toph to quickly look down to hide her embarrassment.
"What's up with you?" Sokka asked.
"W-what?"
"You've been acting weird since we've been on this island."
"W-Well I… that's none of your business."
"What's going on…"
"Forget it. Just leave me be."
Toph then walked over and put the chute over her again. Sokka walked over to her, but she just stuck her hand outside of the chute and held it up to stop him.
"Don't bother me for a bit. Just…"
Toph sighed. "Just go make the shelter…"
Sokka shrugged, and did as she told. Toph sighed.
"Oh Sokka…" She whispered to herself.
