As always thank you for reading. Thank you for the review. It did seem like an epilogue, now I look back. There are about three or four chapters still to go in this part.

I have add a link to what Toph's wedding dress on my profile. If anyone wants to have a look, it is under the where we go from here part, under gold wedding dress.


The sun had risen, and the preparations for the wedding were well underway. Sokka was meant to go and wake Aang, as part of his best man duets, but he had slept in. Zuko therefore took it upon himself to wake Aang. He knocked lightly on the avatars door. When he got no response, he crept the door open, and peaked his head in. He found Aang and Toph sleeping in the same position they had taken up that night. He walked over to the bed, and gently woke them. Once awake he also helped Toph sneak back to her room, before Katara went to wake her up.

He thought he was being very good, he didn't say a word, he held his tough. Then she spoke. "I may be blind, but I can tell your giving me a look."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are, a what were you thinking look."

"Fine, what were you thinking."

"That we needed to talk."

"Did you."

They had now reached her room. "Yes. Nothing is any clearer really." Before he could say anything more she entered the room and closed the door on him.

Just over an hour later Katara and Suki had Toph dressed for the wedding. She was wearing an ornate dress of faint gold. Her hair was pulled up, and she wore a gold headdress, that from the second Suki but it on itched her forehead horrible. She hated it, it was what her father had wanted her to wear. As the wedding was only happening because of him, there didn't seem to be much point in changing any of the plans that had already been made.

"Toph you really do look pretty." Katara was doing her best to cheer Toph up, about the dress. She just looked so uncomfortable in it. Katara had for a while sectary hoped that Aang and Toph would end up together, they just seemed to fit. It also would make her worry about them a little less, and feel less guilty about how things had gone with Aang.

Sokka was trying his hardest not to laugh, almost drawing blood from his lip as he bite down on it, as Aang entered the room dressed in his wedding rope. The rope was also gold like Toph's, but it had clearly been made for someone else. Aang was worried that if he moved too much he would rip it, as it was too small for him.

"It's only for a today." Zuko's calm voice having to shout slightly to be heard, over Sokka's laughter. He just couldn't contain it for any long. He just looked to funny, unable to bend his knees or elbows out of fear of ripping the robe.

A few years ago Zuko would have been as happy about this wedding as his wife. Now he was worried for Toph, the girl really just seemed to have no sense of self preservation. Being married to the Avatar, however that was going to be worked out, was only going to put her in more dangerous situations. This made it even harder for him, as he say her as a little sister. He didn't want to lose another one.

"But I will remind you of it for a life-time." Sokka had gained control of his laughing now, and with a big grin on his face, draped his arms around Aang's neck.

"Thanks Sokka, but I don't think I will need reminding." Aang had also learned sarcasm from Toph.

Sokka wasn't sure if Aang was making a joke too, or being romantic. He had learned when it comes to Aang and Toph the best thing to do is leave them to it, and be ready to pick up the pieces after. He also had more pressing things to worry about, like his family.

"Suten, stop hitting your little brother." Suki was leaning out of the window, watching her two sons playing with their great gran gran. Her voice was stern, but pleading to. She so badly didn't want them to act out and embarrass her, like their father. A little hesitantly she pulled herself back into the room, and crashed into the nearest chair.

"I don't know how you cope with two kids" Katara said, her hand lightly and unnoticed running over her stomach as she did.

"And Sokka." Toph chimed in, a slight grin on her face.

Suki wearily lifted her arm, and shrugged her shoulders. "What can I say I love my three boys." Her sister in law, gave a soft laugh at this. "So Katara…."

"Don't even go there." She did her best to force a laugh. "The last time you brought that up it ended up in this big thing." Katara did want to tell them, now was just not the right time. "This is Toph's big day. Let's focus on that."

Suki gave a nod of agreement, though she was not going to let the matter drop completely. Katara let out a faint sigh of relief. As she turned her head away from Suki, she caught a look at Toph, who was clearly trying to stop a smirk from spreading across her face. Toph had been smirking under her breath the whole time they had been talking.

"What are you grinning at." Katara turned on her. "You are going to be in the same situation too soon, the wife of the Avatar." She knew that Toph must know, provoking her like that was not a good idea, she could say something. She just wanted to stop her grinning like that.

"Shut up!" This had been the first moment that it finally hit Toph, she was going to marry Aang. She was going to be someone's wife. It had taken all of her will power not to let this fact sink in, to ignore it. Focus on each step, small thing that happened, rather than look at the big picture. That was no longer an option.

"Two, no kissing for longer than..."

"Sokka that's enough leave him along." Aang looked gratefully at Zuko. He was a little shocked, he had expected Zuko to be the one to give him the take care of our little sister speech. Instead he was sticking up for him "Why don't you go and make sure the kids aren't destroying anything important."

"I already apologized for what happened at your wedding. When are you going to let it go."

"When my family produces another two hundred years robe, passed down for generation. I might consider it." He turned and left the avatar and the fire lord to talk.

Zuko moved closer to Aang as he spoke "If you do anything to hurt her again, then there are no more second chances."

"I promise, I am not going to do anything to hurt her ever again"

"Ok then." Zuko gave Aang a warm smile, and a pat on the shoulder, to let him now that he was back to being his friend again.

Aang went over to the desk, and picked up a piece of paper, folded it, then turned back to Zuko. "Can you take this to Toph for me."

Zuko was reminded of the reaction the last letter he had given Toph from Aang had been. He nodded and took the letter, leaving the avatar alone. It was when he was left on his own that it really all sank in for Aang. Unlike Toph he felt a real sense of joy at what was about to happen. Though a part of him atill could quite believe that it was relay happening. Till me met Katara he, as a monk ahd nevr thought he would end up getting married.

Toph let herself fall onto the chair behind her. Katara and Suki moved over to her, with concern on their faces.

"Toph are you ok." Suki used her most gentle voice. She hadn't really seen how weak Toph had been almost two years ago, before Aang left again, so was taken aback. She had never seen Toph so vulnerable, she had only seen the strong blunt take on the world Toph.

"I'm going to marry Aang." Her voice was an odd monotone. It was meant as a statement, but came out as a question.

"Yes you are." Katara wrapped an arm around her, rubbing her shoulder. "Do you what to talk about it."" Katara too was being as gentle as she could. Neither of them really knew what to say. So they secretly hoped she would say no, they didn't want to say the wrong thing.

"No, do you mind leaving me on my own for a bit." Her voice was still so monotone.

"Of course." Katara gave Toph a hug as best she could, as Toph was still sitting in the chair. Then left.

Toph was on her own as she slowly started to get her head around what was about to happen.


Thank you for reading. I know nothing really happened, but I just wanted to get add a little bit with the whole gang as I haven't really done anything with all of them since part one.

Might as-well give it another try, so the questions for this chapter

Did the splitting up of the story from the boys to the girls work, or was it confusing and messy.

Are the characters in character. I always worry about that.

In the future should I not write chapters like this one, that nothing happens in, as a chapter on its own. Should I have had this as just part of another chapter, rather on one on its own.

Did the little bits of humour work.
