HotXbun: Oh my word! I am so sorry that it has been nearly four months since I last updated! I was working on other stories.

Fair warring. This is going to be a sad chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar The Last Airbender. Nickelodeon does.

Chapter 12 Saying Goodbye [Avatar Extra: That doesn't sound happy.]

Suki's POV [Avatar Extra: This is the first time the story's in Suki's POV.]

The Next Day

Appa landed on the shore of Kyoshi Island.

Everybody ran up to us.

Katara hugged both Aang and Sokka.

"Thank goodness you guys are okay", she stated. "And you got Zuko back!"

"Not just Zuko", Aang said before Mai walked up to him. "This is Zuko's girlfriend Mai!"

"Really", Katara asked before bowing her head to Mai. "It's an honour to meet you Mai."

"It's an honour to meet you too Katara", Mai stated.

I hated to ruin this moment...but I had to say something. [Avatar Extra: Say what?]

I walked up to the group.

"I hate to interrupt the greetings", I stated. "But we still have the Fire Nation to worry about! They're going to come back here any moment to come and get Aang!" [Avatar Extra: Ahhh!]

"She's right", Sokka agreed in dismay. "What are we going to do?"

"You guys need get out of here", I commanded. "The Kyosi Warriors will hold the Fire Nation while you guys get out of here."

"What", Aang yelled before running up to me. "You can't do that! I won't let you!"

"There's no other way", I stated.

"There is always another way", Aang stated. "Come with us!"

"No", I said sternly. "I will not abandon my home! Plus...you guys need to get away!"

"I can't", Aang yelled as he started crying. "I can't let you guys suffer for my mistake!"

I looked at Aang sadly.

I knew he was talking about helping the Fire Nation.

I grabbed his hands causing him to look at me.

"Aang", I started. "What happened was not your fault. Fire Lord Ozai pretend to love you to get him to do what he wanted. Sometimes...we love people who don't deserve that love, and they use that to their advantage."

This made Aang look at me in shock.

"Go Avatar Aang", I commanded. "Go so you can fight another day."

Aang looked at me sadly before he gave me a hug.

"I am so sorry", I apologised. "I will save you from this someday. I promise."

I just nodded.

I knew he would. [Avatar Extra: It's sweet that after all Aang did, Suki still has faith in him.]

One Hour Later

Aang and his fleet were ready to leave.

Sokka walked up to me.

"Guess this is goodbye", he stated.

I just nodded sadly.

"Will I ever see you again?"

I looked at Sokka in shock before I looked down sadly.

"I don't know", I replied. "I hope so."

"Me too."

I once again looked at Sokka in shock.

"Sokka", his father yelled getting our attention. "It's time to go!"

With that Sokka looked at me sadly.

"Well", he started before he held out his hand. "Goodbye."

With that I grabbed Sokka's hand.

"Bye."

Then...I did something bold.

I pulled Sokka in...and kissed his cheek. [Avatar Extra: (Mouth hangs open.)]

This caused him to blush and look at me in shock.

I too blushed.

"Well", I started nervously. "You should get going."

"Right", Sokka said nervously before he looked at me sadly. "See you around Suki."

"See you around Sokka."

With that the fleet left...and I had only one thought on my mind.

I hope we get to meet again Sokka. I really do.

HotXbun: I also hope Sokka and Sufi will meet again.

Challenge: Tell me if you think Sokka and Suki will meet again.

My Answer: They will. But it's going to be a while until they do.
