Unfortunately, I do not own Avatar: The Lat Airbender. It belongs to Nickelodeon and its original creators.

"Thanks for the fighting lesson Suki." Sokka said wiping the beads of sweat from his face.

"Don't you mean dance lesson?" Suki laughed. Sokka joined her.

"I can't believe you still remember that."

"Believe me that will stick with me the rest of my life." Suki laughed again. The two tired 'friends' walked into the temple with the other warriors anxiously watching behind them. Sokka grabbed onto Suki's hand and blushed. Suki turned to Sokka and smiled sweetly.

"Hey girls, look." Shan quietly pointed to Sokka and Suki. The girls gathered around and watched the two about ready to kiss.

"I guess we were wrong. I guess they are a couple." Yusheng said. The rest of the girls agreed. Sokka and Suki leaned in ready to kiss, but they stopped half way. They frowned, let one another's hand go, and looked away.

"Or not." Meili said and all the girls frowned.

"Hey buddy, how are you doing?" Aang asked patting the mighty bison on the side. Appa just grunted and stood to his feet. He gave his whole body a great shake before licking Aang across the face. "Ha! Good morning to you too!" Aang patted Appa on the side once more before being distracted by a loud shriek.

"Shoot!" Katara yelled from within the forest. Aang quickly grabbed his staff and ran to her.

"Hang on Katara! I'm coming!"

Katara heard this and stood still for a minute. "Aang?" All of a sudden a cloud of dust hit her, followed by Aang. "Ah!" She screamed while the two fell into the lake. "Ow!" Katara screamed as her arm twitched with pain. Aang stood to his feet and spit out a mouth full of water.

"Where are they?! I'll kill them!" Aang said with a serious face. Katara cried a little and held her arm close.

"Where are who?! We are the only ones here you imbecile!" Katara screamed still holding her arm close. Aang looked down at her and smiled stupidly while blushing. Then he noticed her continuous tears and knelt down and helped her to her feet.

"I'm sorry, I-I thought you were in trouble." Aang said hugging her close.

"What made you think that?"

"Well I heard you shout and…"

"Shout? Oh, well I was trying to practice waterbending and, well right now, I am kind of powerless with this broken arm." Katara frowned and wiped away the few tears that slipped down her cheek. Aang frowned as well. He carefully placed his hand over her broken arm.

"I'm sorry." Katara looked up at him and placed a small peck on his cheek.

"Stop apologizing. None of this is your fault. It's just our luck." Aang looked down at her. His face still blank. He grabbed her good arm and held it so close to his heart.

"I fear for your life Katara. That's why I keep apologizing. All these 'I'm sorrys' and 'please forgive mes' are also for anything that might happen in the future. I don't want you to stop loving me or to die because of me. I love you too much to let that happen." Aang starred at Katara. "I just can't afford to lose you." Aang broke down. His eyes were beat red with tears. His face was soaked within minutes. Katara felt for the airbender and held him instead.

"Shh…you don't have to worry about me. I will always be yours and you will always be mine. Nothing could ever change that. And if I would die, I know it would never ever be your fault. Also if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you. Always remember that." Katara stroked Aang's bald head and kissed his gently on his arrow. "I love you."

"I love you too." Aang snuggled up into Katara even more.

Sokka slumped into the kitchen and sat down at the dinner table with the medical kit. He tore away his old bandages to expose his still hurt arm, stomach, and leg. Suki was walking past the kitchen, but stopped to watch Sokka.

"Sokka?"

"Oh, hey Suki." Sokka said in a depressed tone.

"What are you doing?"

"Just redoing my bandages."

"You need help?"

"No, no I-I got it." Sokka frowned and sat back. Suki watched for a minute. Sokka struggled to get the bandage to wrap all the way around his stomach. She smiled and entered the kitchen.

"Here let me help you." Suki said grabbing hold of the bandages that Sokka once held. She began to wrap up Sokka's stomach. Sokka blushed a few times because of this.

"There we go." Suki said snipping off the extra bandage. She placed it in the medical kit and sat silently.

"Thanks." Sokka said placing his shirt back on. They both sat quiet twirling their fingers and starring around the room.

"Suki…"

"Sokka…"

"I'm sorry…" They both blurted out at the same time. Both of them blushed.

"Sokka why are you sorry. I should be the one…"

"N-no, I was the one that encouraged that kiss earlier when I knew you didn't want to take that route."

"I was the one who made up that stupid rule. I should have never denied our love."

"I…" Sokka paused. "w-what did you say?" Sokka was shocked. Suki blushed and starred back at Sokka.

"That stupid rule was really making this visit a wreck. I should have never made it up. I have now seen our love is too strong."

"R-really?" Sokka was so excited.

"Really." Suki agreed and latched onto Sokka's lips fast. Sokka happily returned the kiss.

"Hehe." A noise was heard from the entrance of the kitchen.

"I swear Daiyu, you can never be quiet!" Shan said whacking her in the back of the head. "Oh crap! Go, go, go!" The girls all scrambled to their room but Sokka and Suki stopped them all.

"Stop!" Suki said. "Heel…" All the girls stopped in their tracks and returned to Suki and Sokka.

"O-oh! H-hey Suki! H-hey Sokka! W-what are you two doing out here?" Yusheng asked nervously.

"Uh huh, yeah. The better question is what are all of you doing in a group peeking into the kitchen?" Sokka asked with a smile.

"U-us? Never! Why I am appalled that you would even think that way." Shan said trying to make her fake act believable. All the girls tried to play along.

"Y-yeah S-Suki, why would you even think that way?" Yusheng tried to back Shan up.

"Yeah! Besides we weren't in a group! We were in a bundle. There is a big difference." Daiyu said crossing her arms. All the Kioshi warriors slapped their foreheads and looked back at her. "What?"

"Haha, its ok girls. We don't mind, right Sokka?"

"Yeah, just don't make it a hobby." Sokka said smiling.

"Ah!" The girls screamed with glee and ran up to the couple and gave them both a life threatening hug.

"T-thanks, your t-to kind." Sokka struggled to get free from their grip.

"Oh sorry. Come on girls, lets give those two love birds some privacy." The girls giggled and ran away. Daiyu, on the other hand continued to hug the two of them.

"Uh…" Suki smiled.

"DAIYU!" Shan yelled. "Come here!" Daiyu let go and looked up at Sokka and Suki.

"Hehe, um I'm gonna go that way." Daiyu said blushing and bolted away. Sokka and Suki just smiled and took one another's hands and starred passionately into one another's eyes. They began to lean in for another kiss, but were interrupted once again by a giggle, followed by numerous doors slamming.

"I swear Daiyu, if you weren't part of the Kioshi warriors, I would so hurt you." Shan said grabbing her by the collar. Daiyu just let go a giggled.

"Those Kioshi warriors are crazy." Suki shrugged her shoulders and giggled.

"What do you say we go the balcony? No more interruptions." Sokka said holding his arm out.

"That sounds great." Suki took hold of Sokka's arm and ventured out to the balcony.
