… Well… This is awkward. I promised not to let time get away from me, but it happened anyways… Nonetheless, although I cannot yet make any promises to update regularly, I'll try to make up for my long absences.
Beach
Sokka was having mixed feelings about this trip. Part of him was glad for an excuse to wear his banana hammock, while another part was upset that he would have to restrain himself, and NOT flirt with any girls. But his loins acquiesced to the demands of his brain, for it was a natural consequence of having a girlfriend in monogamous society.
He just hoped that Toph wouldn't be there. She was still bitter that Suki had survived the final battle against the Fire Nation.
And of course, Ty lee and the other Kyoshi warriors would most certainly be there. And Ty lee hadn't yet grasped the fact that it wasn't okay to flirt with Suki's girlfriend, i.e. Sokka.
Then there were the other couples. Aang and Katara would be love-dovey, Zuko would probably run into ANOTHER old girlfriend, which would piss Mai off and probably result in everybody choosing sides and joining the fight.
Finally, there was the very distinct possibility that Zuko would invite his little sister, even despite what had happened the last time Azula had seen Sokka.
'Yes,' Sokka thought, 'This beach party will be a disaster.'
"We're here!" shouted the cart's driver.
"Well, here goes nothing," Sokka grumbled, before getting onto the beach.
"…" Everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at Sokka; the men with envy, and the women with lust.
And suddenly, Sokka remembered why he loved the beach.
