Chapter 26
Zuko's POV
The restaurant was packed once we got there. Parties of people were dressed in all white. Cameras flashes blinded as you got up close to the restaurants. Laughter and food filled the air. It was a wedding.
"Suki just texted me," Katara said, getting out of the car. "We have to hurry. We're always late for something."
I scoffed, pulling out the keys and getting out of the car. "We have plenty of time, Katara. Calm down. It's not even close to 6:00."
"What do you mean not close?" she asked. "We got five minutes to get into the restaurant. And look at this line!"
"Didn't we get reserved?" I asked, catching up with her.
She nodded. "I don't think these people will let us through."
I grabbed her hand. "We'll see, c'mon."
We walked closer towards the hectic line. Voices got louder and louder once we reached the door. A young woman stood there with a checklist. She looked irritated as a man tried to explain something to her.
"Please, my name should be on the list," the man said. "My last name is Smith. Garret Smith. Please, check again."
"Sorry, sir," she said plainly. "Your name isn't on here. I have other people waiting so if you will," she pointed to the end of the line.
The man frowned and walked away holding his head down.
We walked up to the lady.
"Can I help you?"
"Uh…yeah, we're here with a party," I said, rubbing my neck sheepishly.
She sighed. "Last names."
"Sozin," I said. "Oh…and Marine."
She flipped through some pages, slowly taking her time as if we had all day. "Are you Zuko Sozin?"
I nodded.
"I have you, but in here it is down as Zuko and Katara Sozin," she looked up from the clip board. "Did you guys just get married?"
I saw Katara roll her eyes. She was starting to get impatient. "Uh…well."
"Just go inside," she said with a sigh. "Next time, have the right names down, please."
I nodded. "Thanks." I took hold of Katara's hand and we went inside. "So much for getting here on time." I smirked.
She rolled her eyes and spotted the table everyone was at. "There they are." She hurriedly walked towards the table.
I looked over everyone. Aang and Sokka both were dressed in smart black suits, shiny black shoes and crisp white shirts. Huh, we all matched.
And I'm not going to go into explaining what the girls wore, but Suki wore a strapless red party dress and some stilettos with hoop earrings, and Toph wore a light green halter-top dress thingy that came to her thigh and some diamond stud earrings. Yeah, Toph in a dress got me stunned, too.
"It's about time you guys got here," Toph said with a smile. "You look nice." She was speaking to Katara.
"Thanks, but you can speak for one of us," Katara said.
"Hey, I look ok," I said.
"It's okay, dude," Sokka said. "I had trouble getting dressed, too. Suki told me to change three times."
"I didn't have to change at all," Aang said proudly.
"I'm so happy you wore a dress," Katara said, looking over at Toph.
"I had to bribe her into wearing one," Suki said.
Katara looked over at Toph. "How much did you bribe her, Suki?"
"50 bucks, no big deal…"
"What—no big deal!" Katara screeched.
"Yes, Sugar Queen; save the yelling for later," Toph winked suggestively.
Katara rolled her eyes and sat down next to Toph. I sat somewhat across from her, sitting next to Sokka.
"Did you guys all come together?" Katara asked.
Suki nodded. "Yeah, Toph came over early today. Sokka was already at my house, and Aang came over a little later."
"I should've come with you guys," Katara said, glaring at me.
"We got here in time didn't we?" I said. "Besides, everyone else hasn't even come yet."
"Actually," Toph said. "Ty Lee and Haru just got here. They're struggling to get inside. See." She pointed over to the doors where we walked in. And sure enough, there was Ty Lee talking with the lady with the clip board.
"I'll take care of it," Sokka said, getting up out of his chair.
"Who else is coming?" I asked.
Suki looked over at Katara and smirked. "Toph called Mai and Jet to come. Mai just texted me and said that she'll be here momentarily."
"We're hoping that Jet carpooled with Mai," Toph said. "Oh, and another thing, I personally invited Kyle to come."
Suki gasped. "You did not?"
Toph laughed. "I did."
"Wait," I said a little confused. "The Kyle Anthony that Suki went out with?"
"Yeah," Aang said. "You got to hear the story. There are a lot of stories that you got to hear. Did Katara tell you about the whole story on Sokka?"
I raised my eyebrow. "No. Wait, what's this story on Suki and Kyle?"
"It's nothing," Suki said, staring at Toph and Aang. "Too many people all ready know."
"What will one person do?" I asked with a smile.
She rolled her eyes. "A lot."
A hand touched my shoulder. I turned around. "Hey, Mai," I said, standing up to hug her. My smile soon faded into a frown as I noticed who was behind her. "Jet."
