I've decided to ignore the review thingy, if you wanna review then do so on your own accord, I'm not forcing anyone to do so, and am not going to continue to put those who really want to read the story in anticipation because a few people refuse to review!

Ok this chapter is not very good, but enjoy!

Tears and farewells

Katara set Aang down on the bed, and asked him, "What did Sokka say to you? More threatening? Or maybe a warning? I know, he told you to leave me alone, don't touch me, blah, blah, right? Well, let me warn you now, do not EVER leave me alone, ignore me, or... I'm threatening you, aren't I?" she sighed. She didn't want Aang to fear her. She sat down on the bed beside him, and then leaned to her left, falling onto the pillow. Aang's sweet voice floated in her ear as he stroked her hair lovingly. "Katara, this is our wedding night, don't let Sokka spoil it. Though, he wasn't threatening me, he was telling me something about waiting until you're 20, although really I had no idea what he was getting at." he was rushing his words now, because he was nervous. In fact, he knew exactly what Sokka had been talking about. The Monks had taught them all that at a ridiculously young age. Ironic as it may seem, it was true. He turned from his memory to look into his true love's eye. As if on instinct, he leaned in, falling right beside her, and turning around, he kissed her. Katara opened her eyes to see a blue arrow, and then closed them, leaning in to deepen the kiss. Their bodies intertwined, arms wrapped around each other. With every kiss, the scent of the other body flooded into their lungs. Katara never felt as blissful as this, and was enjoying the scent and feel of her love's robes under her fingertips. Sighing happily, she inhaled more of Aang's sweet yet overwhelming scent, feeling the aura of peace and love surrounding him. The kiss broke as Aang held her close to him, loving that this was finally happening: just him, Katara, and the quiet. She pushed him away, wanting to look into his gray eyes, and to get lost in them. He granted her desire, and in turn stared into her ocean blue eyes as well. Spirits, he loved them, for they conveyed messages he could never write down in words, expressed emotions as though the blue in them could fit even the grayest moments of her life, expressing them really well. And so, they fell asleep like this, in each other's embrace, without a care in the world.

All inhabitants of the tea house awoke to a terrible truth. They would have to leave that day. A few, in fact all the girls but Toph cried at not knowing when they'll see each other again. They got dressed somberly, and went out for breakfast, after which they packed up. Before they left, they shared one last group hug, including Appa. "I know! We can meet up every year here, and spend about 2 weeks catching up!" Sokka exclaimed. "Sokka you genius!" Suki went over and gave him a bit hug. Everyone chattered excitedly at the idea. As they all got ready to leave, Sokka pulled Katara aside. "I'm going to miss you, sis. After putting up with you for nearly 17 years, I can't believe we are finally parting ways, following our hearts. Take care of yourself and Aang for me, ok? And don't think you two can do funny stuff when I'm not around!" he added the last part sternly. Katara laughed and slapped him on the back, glad that he wasn't off threatening Aang, although it was almost just as bad that he was doing it to her. "Ow!!! We're about to leave and you had to leave me like that! Some sister you are!" Sokka rubbed his back, whimpering. He returned to Yue's side, where she rubbed it for him. Then out in the horizon, he saw familiar figures. "Chief Arnook!!! I mean Dad!" Yue shouted, waving wildly, jumping up and down. Unknowingly, she had been laying pressure on Sokka's recently acquired injury. "Sorry!!!" hastily, she began to massage him again. He smiled at his beautiful wife, glad of his luck.

Toph listened as their voices faded into the distance, and felt their vibrations getting fainter by the second. The fliers, Appa, Aang, Katara and Suki who was hitching a ride back to Kyoshi Island disappeared first, followed by the ice couple. They were going back with the Northern Water Tribers who came to the wedding by ship. Last to go were the fire royalties, who were going to the dock, where their ship was still docked from two months ago. Suddenly, Toph felt lost and alone. She went back to her room, blasted the door close, and flopped onto her bed. She didn't care about being totally blinded there, only wanting the quietness without disturbance. My friends are gone, I can't go back home and I can't stay here forever; she thought, distressed and out of ideas. She broke down all of a sudden, despite her trying to hold them back. She was glad that the shop was closed that day, in lieu of the departures and the wedding last night. Iroh went out with his friends to talk about the old times. That's it! She couldn't stand it anymore. She got up, and suddenly it hit her. She rushed up and out of the house, using earthbending to run all the way to Gao Ling, and to the earthbending academy there. She had not considered the possibility of running into her parents there.


Ok they spilt up. So please review and tell me if you think it's a good idea to spilt up this story and write 5 separate stories, one for each of the split-up characters, or I should continue to write all under the same story, which will be quite confusing. I think I'll put up a poll, so please vote! I'll continue writing, don't worry, whatever the result is. Still, REVIEW!!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!!
