A/N: Um, wow. Long time no write, eh?

Well let's get to the point of this message. This story belongs to Jade. I helped and we both enjoyed creating it but the fact is that were different people now and she's not interested in completing it. She has asked me to try and complete it and I'd really love to. I really hate it when stories never update and I am willing to complete this story if you guys give me a little time. It's been so long that I don't exactly remember where this story was going but I can try my best to finish it.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, even if it is a little short.

Chapter 21:

The large room was alive with voices and blaring music. The smell of burned pizza and over used cleaning products wafted through the stuffy air, filling Zuko with both despair and nausea.

"I just have one question… why?" Aang laughed at Zuko's question and threw his hands above him.

"Why not? This place is great! The food, the atmosphere and can you go wrong with a guy in a bear suit?" Aang asked, gesturing towards the lumbering mascot who was currently being thrown up on by a small child.

"Yeah, this place is real classy." Toph remarked before placing her bare feet on the table. Aang made a face and crossed his arms.

"It's not so bad, I think it's kind of cute." piped Ty Lee. She nudged Sokka who refused to look at anyone and he huffed in response.

"Yeah well, I think I'll go back to micro waving peeps if you don't mind." Zuko said casually as he began to sit up.

"Oh no you don't." Toph snapped as she grabbed his arm. "You're going to stay here, and you're going to enjoy yourself."

"Besides, Katara will be here after her rehearsal." Ty Lee teased. Zuko re-crossed his arms and sat down with a grunt.

"I hate you all."

"Bertie the Bear's Berry Good Pizza Palace?" Katara asked with a grin as she approached the lopsided table. Zuko's face lit up as she came closer but as he stood to greet her, a sharp pain connected with his foot.

"Control yourself, prissy pants." Sokka warned in a low voice. Zuko glared at him and slammed his fists onto the table.

"What's your problem? We weren't doing anything last night. It was completely innocent!"

"Innocent? You call sleeping with my baby sister innocent?"

"We didn't sleep together! She just stayed the night, that's it!"

"Like I'm supposed to believe that?"

"Anyone with a functioning brain would understand that nothing happened!"

"That's it you're going down fire boy!" Sokka exclaimed as he threw back his fist.

"Bertie the Bear says that fighting is wrong." Sokka was stopped mid-punch as the large bear suit hovered over him.

"Excuse me, but I really think you should stay out of this." Sokka replied through clenched teeth.

"Bertie the Bear says that if you fight in this establishment, he will ring your scrawny neck and then file a lawsuit."

"O…kay, I think it's time to go now." Toph said backing up with her hands in front of her.

"Bertie the Bear thinks that is a great idea."

"I can't believe that you two just got told off by a guy in a bear suit. Best. Day. Ever!" Toph shouted, throwing her hands into the air. Aang skipped along the sidewalk and hummed a soft tune before taking Toph's hand and spinning her around.

"I think so too," he said sheepishly. Toph blushed.

Both Zuko and Sokka walked on opposite sides of the street and refused to look at anyone.

"You two are being ridiculous," Katara exclaimed in frustration.

"Your face is ridiculous!" Sokka yelled at her, while keeping his gaze to the ground. Katara rolled her eyes at her brother's lack of maturity.

"That's it, okay. I'm done." Katara growled. She stopped walking and crossed her arms tightly. "Look, you too need to get over it." She turned to her brother first. "Sokka, I did not sleep with Zuko. You need to trust me." She told him sincerely before turning to face her boyfriend. "Zuko, ignore him!" with a frustrated yell she threw up her arms and walked away.

A/N: So yeah, expect more updates :] I'm sorry it's taken this long.

R&R: No flames please.
