First I like to apologize to all my loyal fans who actually waited...i hope you didn't hold your breath

This is my favorite chapter so far because Zuko finally asked Katara to marry him. Also there's a lot of good brother-sister bonding moments with the twins and Katara and Sokka

Disclaimer: I don't own the avatar.....if I did , do you think I'd just be writing it all on a website with out making ANY MONEY!! I think NOT:P

"Look the kids are gone so you guys can stop acting so fake." Toph suggested with an annoyed tone while reading her magazine. "Yeah and the kids are actually really smart; they'll find out you guys were lying sooner or later." Aang added as he was slicing carrots.

"Hey we're actually not lying." Sokka pleaded

Aang and Toph dropped everything they were doing; Aang turned around to look at Toph. "…his telling the truth." She stated in awe.

"You two...not fighting anymore." Toph started chuckling along with Aang. "That's it, it takes a little snow to making you guys stop fighting. You guys had been fighting since years ago and you guys just stop…that's a miracle." Aang laughed

"That's the understatement of the year. " Toph laughed. The two of them just broke down and couldn't stop laughing hysterically.

" Ha Ha you guys laugh it out all now because when Katara comes in here I'm going ask her to marry me." Zuko cheered. Aang and Toph all immediately stopped laughing. Both of their expressions dropped then and there.

"I don't think she's coming out. I mean I tried to talk to her but," Toph said.

"She just made everything worse. I could her yelling 'You don't need him anyway.'" Aang interrupted.

Toph just scratched her head, licked her finger, and flipped the page of magazine. When she noticed all three guys were looking at her she just sighed.

"Fine I could have done better. But what were you thinking sending me, out of all people, in there to COMFORT HER. I wasn't the ones who started her swallowing pit of depression." She ranted. She looked up one more time at Sokka and Zuko. "Jerks." She mumbled as she flipped the page of her magazine.

"I gotta get in there," Zuko said pacing back in forth in the living room. "I mean what if she doesn't love me anymore. I have to get in there now." Zuko yelled as he charged at the door. Seconds later you could see him pacing back and forth again.

"Come on all mighty and powerful Fire Lord Zuko. You go in there and show her the true man you can be." Sokka said proudly.

Katara's bedroom door up as Iroh came out of her room. "Uhh, So much tension. I pity the day that girl has to deal with you both on the same day AND kids. I need some tea." Iroh said heading for the kitchen.

"What about Katara, is she okay?" Both the men asked urgently.

"Yea probably, I mean she's only mourning about the fact that the most important men in her life hate each other, other than that she's peachy." Toph yelled while reading the magazines.

Both the boys looked more depressed. Toph rolled her eyes and dropped the magazine.

"Look you guys, Katara loves both of you guys and she will forgive you no matter what, so stop acting like wimps and apologize." Toph said lightly pushing the men towards the door.

Both Zuko and Sokka looked at Toph with a surprised expression. "That was surprisingly warming, Toph." Zuko said looking back confused. "It's not like I can't be warm and fluffy… I just choose not to most the time. Come on give me some credit; I am a mother." Toph said with a cheesy grin, pushing the boys closer to the door.

"You know I still wanna know what made her scream in the first place." Aang questioned loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Uhh that's not important right now. Katara wants to talk to you Sokka." Iroh said trying to change the topic.

Sokka took a deep breath and looked back at the group of people and then he started walking for the door; he feared that his sister hated him but he knew there was only one way to see. He slowing opened the door and sneaked inside.

Katara's room was a beautiful shade of light blue. She was staring out of her small window that showed the most beautiful sunset.

"Katara," he asked cautiously

Katara took a deep breath. "Sokka, I know how much you dislike Zuko…you probably even hate him. Iroh told me to do what I think is best and," Katara started stumbling over her words. She stopped rambling and look up at her brother with her lifeless eyes.

"You know, he was even going to propose to me." Katara only had more trouble looking at Sokka while she was talking, so she decided to look back out the window.

"But I'm going to have to refuse his offer," "Katara don't do this to yourself." Sokka exclaimed, begging her to show some emotion. He couldn't stand seeing his sister so blank.

"Katara, listen, I'm sorry for fighting with Zuko but you acting like this isn't just because of me and Zuko. I know you're sad about dad dying and I am too…but we're not alone." Katara's eyes stared to water and turn red and puffy. "But Sokka I can't spilt us up because of Zuko because..We're all we got."

Sokka eyes started to water to as he walked closer to his sister." Katara we were never alone! Remember when dad was always on his missions we had all our friends and there like family….but better. I mean I hope they are…do you remember how many times I sleep in the same bed as Aang and Zuko…do you know how creepy that would be if we weren't." Sokka chuckled.

Katara couldn't resist from laughing a little too. "The point is, we're never alone. And even with dad gone…he'll always be there for us." He paused and rolled his eyes. "He'll be super excited about you marrying Zuko…he's in heaven right now hugging mom telling her to watch." Sokka smiled ignoring all the tears running down his face. Katara wiped more tears then ran over and hugged Sokka.

There was a sudden knock on the door; seconds later Zuko peeked through the door. Katara just giggled and stopped hugging her brother to face the door. "Come in Zuko." She replied.

Zuko slipped through the door looking around, then his eyes settled on Sokka and Katara. "If I'm interrupting something I can go." Zuko stated as he headed back towards the door.

"Wait." Katara said as she and Sokka wiped their eyes. "We just finished." Sokka said as he walked out of the way.

"Let me first say that I'm terribly sorry for fighting with your brother. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." He said awkwardly not looking her in the eyes. "Zuko I forgive you, you can look me in the eye; I won't bite." Katara giggled

Zuko turned red and struggled to continue. "Thank you and here sit down." Zuko said leading Katara to her bed. Zuko took a deep breath and began.

"Katara when I'm with you I feel complete. I would give anything to be with you…my honor is only half as important as the chance to make you smile. When I realized someone like you exists, I fear that God will keep you all to himself." Zuko was glazing into Katara's eyes and Katara was returning to favor.

"I know I have some scars in my life that I'm not proud of, but you make everything better." Katara couldn't help to blush and looked away.

*MEANWHILE*

"Shh…be quiet after all that mush his going to ask her to marry him." Toph whispered with her ear up to the door. "Finally I mean how long does it take any way!" Aang said with his ear up against the door too. "Wow Zuko has been planning this for a while; I mean everyone in the palace knows except the bride!" Iroh chuckled.

There was amount of silence. "Um, where are the twins. I don't hear them sleeping." Toph rolled her eyes and went to look in the kid's room. "Great what are they doing now?" Aang asked lifting from the door. "I don't know but whatever it is it doesn't required sleep." Toph groaned. Aang rolled his eyes and got up from the door. "Here we go again, great! Maybe we should have taken up your parent's offer; it can't be too bad over their house, "

"And let them be pampered and spoiled to death; I think not." Toph yelled. Aang grabbed her hand to calm her down and took a deep breath. "Ok, after we hear the 'Yes I will marry you' we go congratulated the folks and then start looking for the kids." Aang said (The funny thing about it is that they're more annoyed than worried. Don't worry the twins done this thousands of times; there's no need to be worried).

Toph just sighed and then agreed. Then they both raced back to the door to hear the rest of the conversation. Iroh just rolled his eyes then join Toph and Aang.

*While all the excitement down stairs was happening *

Takari and Takuto are on the roof wearing Eskimo outfits with a camcorder in hand.

"K, let's see here." Takari said puzzling around with a print of the house's blueprints. "Katara's room is right here." She said taking out a chucky black marker and making an X (OMG this girl's prepared).

"Ok Takuto. I want you to blow a hole right here. That way if Katara's plucking Zuko's eyes out we have it all on camera." She said mischievously with an evil smile.

Takuto rolled his eyes and exhaled a huge amount of air on the one X. Takuto then stopped and looked back and Takari. "Won't Sokka see the water?" Takuto questioned.

"No, don't worry; I mean him and Zuko are probably beating the living day lights out of each other." Takari glared with pure evil at her brother. Takuto just sighed and starting blowing at the X again. After a few seconds of blowing the hole was completed. "Success!" Takari screamed as she jumped up and down almost slipping.

There was still light outside from the sunset and it reflected in such a beautiful way off of the ocean. Light was flashing through the window reflecting off of Katara's long hair and Zuko's golden eyes. Zuko closed his eyes and decided to ask the life changing question. He dropped to one knee and reached down in his pocket and pulled out a fuzzy black box and reviled the breath taking diamond inside. Her eyes water and she covered her mouth.

Everything went quiet for a moment and it seemed like the world was revolving around the two lovers. With a big smile and tears streaming down his face he asked her. "Please marry me." Katara was overjoyed and started shaking her head up and down. She started having trouble speaking but then she just screamed. "Yes, yes of course I'll marry you." Zuko jumped up and bear hugged Katara. Sokka just couldn't stop smiling. "Finally!" He continued mouthing to himself.

Finally I finished this chapter!! I've been putting it off for half the summer and I knew I had to make myself sit and finish!! It's kinda funny that I finally finished and Zuko finally proposed!lmao!! Anyway make sure to try and review for me:OThanks!!
