Katara: Confess

Katara heads towards the spa down the road. Katara seems upset about Sokka for her birthday. What is it that Sokka's doing for her birthday? Katara enters the spa and heads to the corner. "I'm Katara, here for my ten o'clock."

Katara gets a massage from some buffed earthbender known as Mushi. As he starts massaging on Katara's back, Katara just moans in disappointment.

"You seem troubled." Mushi says, moving to Kataras shoulders.

"Is it noticeable?" Katara can't see it, but she can tell that Mushi is nodding at her. "It's my birthday today and my older brother, Sokka, has forgotten about it again."

"Maybe he's throwing you a surprise party." Mushi says it as if he knows it's happening, even thought Sokka never told him about his plan.

"Yeah, sure he is." Katara says, sarcastically. "Every year, he always either gets my birthday late or is never noticing my birthday. It's like he doesn't care about me that much." Katara frowns and faces downwards. "I'll probably wouldn't have a birthday today."

"What makes you say that?" Mushi moves back to Kataras back.

"A little lower." Mushi moves a little lower on her back. "That's the spot...It's just that, this year, he's the only family member I'm with currently. With my mother gone, my grandmother at home and my dad out fighting at war."

"Don't you have any friends around here?" Katara raises her eyebrows, thinking about Aang, Suki and Toph.

"Well...yes, but I don't know. Suki's not much of a close friend, Toph...well, she can be stubborn sometimes. As for Aang...He's a good friend and...I guess I can hope for something from him." Katara thinks about Aang, she could have hope to receive something from him, but she wonders if he even knows about her birthday.

"Hey, even if your friends and brother won't do something special for yea, you'll still have a birthday." Katara raises her eyebrows wondering what he means. "You know about your birthday, you could do whatever you want. You're getting a special treatment at this spa, aren't you."

Katara never thought about that, probably cause all her life, her birthday was celebrated by someone throwing her a party or something like that. "I guess I never thought of-" Katara cuts off her sentence by grunting painfully. "Too hard."

Katara finishes up her spa treatment, The next few hours, Katara leaves the spa and starts heading home. Just then, Katara hears Toph walking by. Toph is walking very slowly with the birthday cake. Katara approaches to Toph. "Hey Toph."

Toph flinches and the cake starts flying. "Katara! You know better then to sneak up on me!"

Katara gives a confused look. "But...can't you feel me coming towards you?"

"Oh...right." The cake lands and crashes on Tophs head. "I guess I got too focused or distracted to notice."

Katara notices the cake and picks a piece with her finger. "What are you doing?" Katara takes a taste of the cake. "...Cake?"

"Yeah, it's cake." Toph thinks about what to say, she doesn't want to admit the plan. 'Hey Katara, Sokka is planing you a surprise party and I'm in charge of delivering the cake.' "I'm uh...doing a cake delivery."

Katara looks suspicious. "...You got a job?"

Toph widens her eyes, thinking that's a good idea. "Yeah, you said so yourself. 'Get a job' So...I got one."

Katara just glances at Toph, even through she knows Toph can't see it. "...Ok then." Katara says, suspiciously. "I guess I'll see you back at home."

Katara walks away and Toph waves at her. "See you there..." Then Toph begins talking quietly. "Once I can get that stupid cake home in one piece."

Katara returns to her home down the street, just then, she sees Sokka with a box of the decorations. Suki spots Katara and points at her, Sokka looks back and is shocked to see Katara. Sokka hurries inside and Suki stands in front of the door.

"Katara, hey." Suki says, with a trying-to-hide-something tone. "What are you doing here so early?"

Katara looks confused. "Early? It's three in the afternoon. What are you talking about?"

"Oh, is it really three? Time must have gotten away from me." Katara was about to walk inside, then Suki stops her. "Wait...how about we go shopping?"

Katara gives Suki a curious look. "Shopping?" Katara thinks about it and decides to accept it. "Ok, I was hoping to find a special gift for a certain someone." Katara gives Suki an obvious look and tone in her voice. Suki just forcefully smile and Katara feels disappointed. "Nevermind. let's just go."

Katara and Suki leaves the house, Sokka takes a look outside and sees Katara is gone, then sighs.

Aang: The perfect gift

Aang is flying around town in Ba Sing Se. Aang still wondering what he should do for Katara's birthday. Aang sees a market downtown and flies a little lower. Aang flies until Toph walks by from a blind spot. On that moment, Aang bumps into Toph and slams his head into the cake.

They both crash on the ground, Toph quickly seats up and feels Aang. "Oh, it's you twinkletoes." Toph stands off, dust the dirt off of her cloths and pulls Aang up on his feet.

Aang feels the cake on his head and takes a piece and eats it. "Cake? ...Sorry about that."

Toph gives out an annoyed groan. "That's the second cake I lost today."

"The second cake? What happened to the first?" Toph blushes a little and stutters when she gives an answer.

"I-I-I Don't wanna talk about it." Toph picks up what's left of the cake and throws it in the trash can. "So, what are you doing here, twinkletoes?"

"I'm just doing some errands." Toph gives Aang a dirty look. "Just for Katara's surprise."

"Well, there's a jewelry store down the street." Toph points down the street to the east. "Jewelry's are a girls best friend. I don't get why it is, that's just how it is."

Aang opens his glider. "Thanks Toph." Aang takes off and heads towards the market.

Aang browses around the area, until he sees a jewelry department. Aang takes a look at a ton of stuff, diamond rings, golden bracelets, necklaces. He takes a look around until the owner arrives.

"Well, hello there young Avatar." Aang flinches and sees a pirate is running the shop. "Can I help you with something?"

"I'm just looking around." Aang continues looking around the jewelry, until he fixes his eyes on this one item in the back. "I'll take that one." Aang says, pointing at the item. The owner wraps it up in a paper bag. "How much?"

The owner gives a generous look. "Well, for you, it's free."

Aang gives an angry look, he just hates the fact people would do special things for him just because he's the avatar. "Just because I'm the avatar, doesn't mean I deserve special treatment! I demand to pay for this!" The owner just raises his eyebrow.

"Fine then, twenty gold pieces." Aang gives a disappointed look, he probably should have accepted the generous free offer instead of demanding to pay for it. Aang reaches into his pocket and takes out two gold pieces.

"How about two gold pieces instead?" The owner just laughs at Aang.

"You should have thought about that before demanding to pay. The price is twenty gold pieces." Aang thinks of a way to pay for the item. He gets an idea.

"I'm paying with two gold pieces!"

"Too bad, I'm selling it for twenty!"

"Two gold!" "Twenty gold!" "Two gold!" "Twenty gold!" "Two gold!" "Twenty gold!" "Two gold!" "Twenty gold!" Aang takes the place where he switches the conversation. "Twenty gold!" "Two gold!" "Twenty gold!" "Two gold!"

Aang jumps on the glass bar and gets on the owners face. "I'm paying for twenty gold pieces! TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!" Aang yells at he owner.

The owner grabs Aang by the shirt and pulls him directly in front of his face. "I'm selling for two gold pieces! PAY IT OR LEAVE IT!" The owner yells at Aang.

Aang instantly jumps off the bar and hands over the two gold pieces. "Ok, have it your way. Two gold pieces it is." Aang takes the paper bag and leaves quickly.

"That's more like it." The owner takes the gold pieces and realizes something. "Hey! Wait a minute!"

Aang walks away, laughing out loud the fact he tricked that owner to pay ten percent of the price. Hours have passed and Aang just left a food market. Aang takes out a piece of paper and starts writing a note on it. Just as he folds it, he sees Suki and Katara coming this way. Aang airbends a high jump and hides on the roof of the market.

Suki and Katara walks by and they enter some kind of mall. Aang jumps down and follows them. Aang takes a look around, carefully not to get spotted by Katara. Aang sees Suki all alone by the earth kingdom fashions for women.

Aang approaches to Suki and whispers to her. "Psst, Suki." Suki turns around and is surprised to see Aang.

"Aang, what are you doing here?" Aang hands Suki a note.

"Give this to Katara." Aang can see Katara leaving the dressing room. "Katara!" Aang says her name in a loud whisper. Aang runs away at high airbending speed. Just as Aang leaves the mall, he bumps into Toph again. Toph gets knocked down and the cake went flying. Aang sees the cake in the air as it's coming down. Aang stands under it can catches it. Aang hands the cake to Toph. "Your cake."

Toph takes the cake. "Thanks, nice catch twinkletoes."

Aang notices something. "You're still delivering the cake?"

Just as Toph was about to say something, a person gets tossed out of the mall. "Get out and don't come back!" The person slams through the cake and crashes to the ground. Toph feels the cake is ruined.

Toph just growls angrily. "WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!" Toph stomps on the ground and Aang gets launched into the air.

Aang opens his glider and starts flying away. Aang flies around, wondering what to do by the inner wall. Aang flies by the inner wall and takes a look at the field. Aang figures he could take her to a nice spot or something.

An hour later, Aang flies back towards the city, without his gifts for Katara. Of course that's when Sokka starts flying up until he stops. Aang flies by Sokka. "Hey Sokka."

Aang passes Sokka. "Hey Aang." Aang can hear fainted screaming from Sokka, that he can tell Sokka's falling back down. Aang flies lower to the ground and waits by the inner wall for Katara, hoping she'll show up for his surprise.

Suki: Stalling

Suki stands outside of the house, keeping an eye out for Katara. Just then, Sokka arrives with a box of decorations. Suki opens the door for Sokka. "Thanks Suki. Is Katara around?"

"Not really, you're actually the first one home." Sokka gives a surprised look.

"Wait? I'm the first? What about Toph? She's delivering the cake."

Suki thinks about it. "That does sound a little strange. And no, I haven't seen Toph. Maybe she got..." Just then, Suki sees Katara coming. "Katara!" Suki says, pointing at Katara.

Sokka looks back and sees Katara coming. Sokka opens his mouth wide and makes a shocked sound. Sokka quickly runs inside the house and Suki stands in front of it. Katara walks up to Suki.

"Katara, hey." Suki says, with a trying-to-hide-something voice. "What are you doing here so early?"

Katara looks confused. "Early? It's three in the afternoon. What are you talking about?"

"Oh, is it really three? Time must have gotten away from me." Katara was about to walk inside, then Suki stops her. "Wait...how about we go shopping?"

Katara gives Suki a curious look. "Shopping?" Katara thinks about it and decides to accept it. "Ok, I was hoping to find a special gift for a certain someone." Katara gives Suki an obvious look and tone in her voice. Suki just forcefully smile and Katara feels disappointed. "Nevermind. let's just go."

Katara and Suki leaves the house. They both walk down the street and starts talking.

"So, how's Aang been doing since Appas disappearance?" Katara gives a frown thinking back what happened in the desert.

"It's something I don't want to talk about. It's very scary and upsetting." Suki gives a hollow look that shows she understands. "But in the end, he's taking it very well. Now the only problem is finding Appa."

"Well, that's a darn shame." Suki and Katara both appears at the mall and enter it.

Katara takes a look around at the clothing. "These look pretty good." Katara browses through the cloths. Suki joins in with her. Katara takes out the latest earth kingdom dress. (The one she wears at the ending of "Avatar Aang" when she kisses aang outside of Irohs tea shop) "What do you think of this?"

Suki sees Katara holding the dress in front of her body. "Looks nice, you should go try it out." Katara nods and heads towards the changing room. Suki takes a look at the dresses, until she hears a whisper.

"Psst, Suki." Suki turns around and is surprised to see Aang.

"Aang, what are you doing here?" Aang hands Suki a note.

"Give this to Katara." Aang can see Katara leaving the dressing room. "Katara!" Aang says her name in a loud whisper. Aang runs away at high airbending speed. Suki turns around and sees Katara in that earth kingdom dress.

Katara shows her dress to Suki. "What do you think?" Katara spins around.

Suki smiles. "You look great." Katara stops spinning then notices the note in Suki's hand.

"Hey, what's that?" Katara says, pointing at the note. Suki takes out the note and hands it to Katara.

"Aang stopped by and told me to give this to you." Kataras eyebrows raise, wonder if it's something for her birthday.

Katara opens the note and reads it.

Katara, I have a surprise for you. Made me at the gates of the inner ring at five-thirty.

Aang

Katara wonders about what Aang is planning for her. Katara purchases the dress and she and Suki heads to a hair salon. Katara sits on the chair while Suki brushes Kataras long brown hair.

"What do you suppose Aang wants?" Suki says, Katara hasn't given it much of a thought.

"I'm not really sure." Katara thinks about it, wondering if he wants to give her something for her birthday. "So, I hear tomorrows your three-month anniversary with Sokka."

Suki widens her eyes, knowingly that the anniversary was last week. Then she realized Sokka probably said that to keep the party a surprise. "Uh, yes. It is." Suki starts forming Kataras hair loops.

"It's great for Sokka to have a girl who doesn't wanna mess with him." Katara says, thinking about how Sokka acts silly in front of other cute girls and they just laugh at him.

Suki felt disturbed by that comment. "Uh...great...I think." Sokka puts a flower in Kataras hair, then turns Katara to face the mirror. "What do you think?"

Katara can see her hair is out. Her hair is long and brown with her loops attached to the front of her head to the back. "Oh Suki, it's lovely." Katara sees what time it is and noticed it's about five. "Look at the time, I gotta to see Aang." Katara gets off of the chair and hurries off.

Later on, Suki returns home. Just as she was walking towards the house, she hears a fainting screaming, then it's getting stronger. Suki looks up and see Sokka falling above her. Suki backs up and Sokka crashes into the ground. "Sokka!" Suki helps Sokka up, of course Sokka is in too much pain and get up. "What happen?"

Sokka groans and thinks back what happened. "Toph's what happened. She got and upset about...about...what was it she got upset about?"

Suki looks at the house and carries Sokka. Suki opens the door and walks inside. I wonder what it is Toph is upset about.

Toph: The cake

Toph leaves the house and walks down the street. Toph walks down until she can feel the bakery is right in front of her. the owner sees Toph and approaches. "Well, what can I do you for, little girl?"

"Don't call me little girl!" Toph says angrily. "And I need a birthday cake."

The owner looks around back and hands out a birthday cake. "Oh, is it your birthday and your throwing yourself a party?"

"You want me to bury you ten feet underground?" Toph says, stomping and burying the mans feet into the ground. The owner gets nervous and hands over the cake.

"No, little girl-I mean, ma'am-I mean...here you go." Toph just takes the cake and walks off.

Toph walks down the street, until some stranger appears. The stranger stands in front of Toph. "Well, hello my little beauty." Toph blushed at that compliment. Just then, some other stranger swoops in, from the sky, and takes the cake. "Ok, see yea."

The stranger walks away, then Toph notices she can't feel the cake. Toph gives a grumpy look then walks back to the bakery. "I need another cake." The owner hands Toph another sheet cake. Toph takes the cake and walks off.

Toph walks down a blind spot corner, and just as she makes a left turn, Aang bumps into her. They both crash on the ground, Toph quickly sits up and feels Aang. "Oh, it's you twinkletoes." Toph stands off, dust the dirt off of her cloths and pulls Aang up on his feet.

Aang feels the cake on his head and takes a piece and eats it. "Cake? ...Sorry about that."

Toph gives out an annoyed groan. "That's the second cake I lost today."

"The second cake? What happened to the first?" Toph blushes a little and stutters when she gives an answer.

"I-I-I Don't wanna talk about it." Toph picks up what's left of the cake and throws it in the trash can. "So, what are you doing here, twinkletoes?"

"I'm just doing some errands." Toph gives Aang a dirty look. "Just for Katara's surprise."

"Well, there's a jewelry store down the street." Toph points down the street to the east. "Jewelry's are a girls best friend. I don't get why it is, that's just how it is."

Aang opens his glider. "Thanks Toph." Aang takes off and heads towards the market.

Toph returns to the bakery and picks up another cake. "All right, this time, this cake will make it home." Toph says to herself.

Just then, a cart starts rushing by and a man on the cart throws a cup on the cake, buried into it. Toph grunts and drops the cake. Toph returns to the bakery and the owner all ready has another cake out. "You sure you don't want me to hire someone to deliver it for yea?"

Toph takes the cake and walks off. "I don't need help, I can do this!" When she stands close to the door of some shop, the door opens and slams into Toph. Sokka walks out of the building and then walks off without noticing Toph. The cake slams into Tophs face.

The owner just laughs. "Another cake, little girl?"

Toph growls in frusration and grints her teeth. "Yes...another birthday cake, please." Toph says with an anger tone.

Minutes later, Toph slowly walks down the street with cake number five. Just then, Katara shows up behind her. "Hey Toph."

Toph flinches and the cake starts flying. "Katara! You know better then to sneak up on me!"

Katara gives a confused look. "But...can't you feel me coming towards you?"

"Oh...right." The cake lands and crashes on Tophs head. "I guess I got too focused or distracted to notice."

Katara notices the cake and picks a piece with her finger. "What are you doing?" Katara takes a taste of the cake. "...Cake?"

"Yeah, it's cake." Toph thinks about what to say, she doesn't want to admit the plan. 'Hey Katara, Sokka is planing you a surprise party and I'm in charge of delivering the cake.' "I'm uh...doing a cake delivery."

Katara looks suspicious. "...You got a job?"

Toph widens her eyes, thinking that's a good idea. "Yeah, you said so yourself. 'Get a job' So...I got one."

Katara just glances at Toph, even through she knows Toph can't see it. "...Ok then." Katara says, suspiciously. "I guess I'll see you back at home."

Katara walks away and Toph waves at her. "See you there..." Then Toph begins talking quietly. "Once I can get that stupid cake home in one piece."

Toph returns to the bakery and picks up cake number six. Toph runs off to hurry back home, but when Toph reaches to the next street, a stampede happens. The animals from the Ba Sing Se zoo escaped. The animals charges towards Toph.

Toph jumps on the ground and hides underground. The animal charges past the hole. Once all of them are gone, Toph rises from the hole and laughs at them. "Suckers!" Just as Toph was laughing, two reptile birds flies towards Toph and slams into the cake.

Toph grunts in anger and throws the cake against a building. Toph returns to the bakery, grabs the cake and runs off. Toph runs on a wooden deck. "Oh great! Now I can't feel where I'm going." Toph takes small steps and raises her hand right in front of her to try and feel what's right in front of her. "Ah, clear path from here-"

Just then Toph starts falling over the deck and plummets into Lake Laogai. Toph raises her head out of the water and boils in anger, literally. Her anger starts boiling the lake.

Minutes later, Toph returns to the bakery and gets another cake. Toph walks down the street. "Ok, relax Toph. You got this. Just keep your vibration sight open and walk normally."

Toph walks by the mall, then Aang bumps into her. Toph gets knocked down and the cake went flying. Aang sees the cake in the air as it's coming down. Aang stands under it can catches it. Aang hands the cake to Toph. "Your cake."

Toph takes the cake. "Thanks, nice catch twinkletoes."

Aang notices something. "You're still delivering the cake?"

Just as Toph was about to say something, a person gets tossed out of the mall. "Get out and don't come back!" The person slams through the cake and crashes to the ground. Toph feels the cake is ruinned.

Toph just growls angrily. "WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!" Toph stomps on the ground and Aang gets launched into the air. Toph can hear Aangs scream. "Whoops...eh, I'm sure he'll be ok."

Toph, once again, returns to the Bakery and gets another birthday cake. Toph decides to stop fooling around, she crutches down and launches herself into the air with her earthbending. Toph lands on the ground and she can feel she's in front of the house.

"Finally! I am home fre-" Just as Toph walks towards the house, she trips on a bug. Toph falls over and slams her face in the cake. Toph gets up and grunts in anger. "I should have known."

Half an hour later, Toph returns to the bakery. "I need another birthday cake."

"Sorry, little girl, I only got one left, and it's reserved." Toph withs an anger look. Toph stomps the ground and sinks the owner into the ground, up to his shoulders.

Toph squats down and glares at the owner. "Look here, buster. I got charm-thieved, bump into a friend, junk thrown, door slam, sneaked up on, animal assaulted, fall in a lake, thrown by someone and then I triped on a bug. Hand me that cake, or I will bury you so deep, you'll be lucky enough to dig out before you starve to death!"

The owner begs for mercy. "Fine, fine. Take the cake! ...Just be careful with this one."

Toph takes the cake and launches to her house, again. Toph makes a small launch from where she landed on to the door. Toph gives a gentle feeling, the cake is ok. Toph turns around and laughs at the world.

"Nice try everyone and everything, but I AM VICTORIOUS!" Just as Toph raises the cake, the door opens and Toph gets knocked over.

Sokka leaves the house and sees Toph knocked down on her stomach. "There you are, Toph. Where have you been?" Sokka looks ahead of Toph and sees the cake facedown on the ground. "Isn't that the birthday cake?"

Toph just sighs disappointedly. "It was the cake."

"Oh, well don't worry about it. I all ready took care of the cake." Tophs eyes widen open from hearing that. "Now, do you think you can help me with-"

"You brought another cake!" Toph says, angrily.

"Well, yes. You just took so long, so I decided to." Toph sinks Sokka into the ground, up to his shoulders. Toph faces Sokka.

"Do you realize what I have to go through to get this cake? This is the tenth one I've lost!"

Sokka becomes surprised to hear that. "Wait, the tenth? What happened to-"

Toph just cuts Sokka off, like she doesn't hear some talking. "I finally got the cake here, but then you ruined it and you decided to tell me you all ready picked up a cake!"

"Toph, calm down." Toph raises the ground she stands on, and Sokka realizes what she's doing. "No, Toph. Don't, don't! No, please!" Toph jumps and lands hard on the ground. the ground impales into the earth and Sokka gets launched. Sokka starts screaming and Toph walks to the house, slamming the door behind her very hard.

Toph just stomps into her room and shuts the door, upset the fact she's been defeated by a simple birthday cake.

Sokka: Decorations

Sokka walks around the market, looking for the right store to find the party decorations. So far, he's only found the bakery, with Toph at it and arguing with the owner, no surprise there to him, the jewelry department and the food market.

Sokka walks around for hours, still couldn't find anything. Sokka walks up to some stranger. Sokka gets a little confused when he sees he and his friend is devouring a birthday cake. (The same cake that was stolen from Toph) "Excuse me, do you know where I can find some party decorations?"

Teh stranger looks at Sokka and wipes the frosting off of his mouth. "Yeah, just go down the street and you'll find a party store."

The stranger points down the street and Sokka looks at that direction. "Thanks." Sokka walks down the street and finds a party store. Sokka opens the door and enters the party store.

A couple of minutes later, Toph walks by with the cake, "I don't need help, I can do this!"

Just then, Sokka opens the door, slamming the cake into Toph, and leaves the store. Sokka doesn't bother to notice Toph, for he is too busy to get the decorations home before Katara arrives.

Sokka makes it home and can see that Suki is still around, he can tell that Katara is still out at the spa. Suki opens the door for Sokka. "Thanks Suki. Is Katara around?"

"Not really, you're actually the first one home." Sokka gives a surprised look.

"Wait? I'm the first? What about Toph? She's delivering the cake."

Suki thinks about it. "That does sound a little strange. And no, I haven't seen Toph. Maybe she got..." Just then, Suki sees Katara coming. "Katara!" Suki says, pointing at Katara.

Sokka looks back and sees Katara coming. Sokka opens his mouth wide and makes a shocked sound. Sokka quickly runs inside the house and Suki stands in front of it. Katara walks up to Suki.

"Katara, hey." Suki says, with a trying-to-hide-something voice. Sokka places the decorations down and quietly moves to the front door. Sokka places his ear on the door, listening closely to Suki and Katara.

"Oh, is it really three? Time must have gotten away from me." Sokka hears a long pause until Suki breaks the silence. "Wait...how about we go shopping?"

"Wait"? Sokka realizes Katara's trying to get inside. "Shopping?...Ok, I was hoping to find a special gift for a certain someone." Sokka listens very closely, wondering if Katara is about to leave. "Nevermind. let's just go."

Sokka hears footsteps leaving. Sokka then takes a look outside and sees Suki and Katara leaving, then gives a relief sigh. Sokka closes the door and gets to work on the decorations. But before he does, he's still wondering what Toph is doing.

Afterwards, Sokka deceives to leave the house. Sokka walks down the road and reaches to the bakery. "hey, I need a birthday cake."

The owner sees Sokka. "Ah, you two eh? I guess it's also your birthday."

Sokka raises his eyebrows. "Not really, it's my sisters." Sokka takes a look at the cakes and founds one that's like a water tribute cake. A sheet cake with light blue icing and the edges of the cake is the regular blue icing forming water waves. Sokka points at that cake. "How about that one? It matches to our tribe."

The owner takes out that cake and hands it to Sokka. Sokka pays the man with fifty silver pieces. Sokka takes the cake and walks off.

Sokka returns home, places the cake on the table and gets to work on the decorations. Blowing up the balloons, hanging streamers, setting up water tribe pelts around the walls and floors, making it feel like home.

Half an hour later, Sokka finishes the decorations and starts reading "Happy Birthday Katara" on a banner. Sokka starts hooking it up on the wall, but he can hardly tape it up since it requires two hands to do the work.

Sokka hops down and makes his way to the door, hoping to find someone to help him with the job. Just then, he opens the door and slams into something. The door forcefully stops then Sokka heard someone fall back. Sokka opens the door and sees Toph.

"There you are, Toph. Where have you been?" Sokka looks ahead of Toph and sees the cake facedown on the ground. "Isn't that the birthday cake?"

Toph just sighs disappointedly. "It was the cake."

"Oh, well don't worry about it. I all ready took care of the cake." Tophs eyes widen open from hearing that. "Now, do you think you can help me with-"

"You brought another cake!" Toph says, angrily.

"Well, yes. You just took so long, so i decided to." Top stinks Sokka into the ground, up to his shoulders. Toph faces Sokka.

"Do you realize what I have to go through to get this cake? this is the tenth one I've lost!"

Sokka becomes surprised to hear that. "Wait, the tenth? What happened to-"

Toph just cuts Sokka off, like she doesn't hear some talking. "I finally got the cake here, but then you ruined it and you decided to tell me you all ready picked up a cake!"

"Toph, calm down." Toph raises the ground she stands on, and Sokka realizes what she's doing. "No, Toph. Don't, don't! No, please!" Toph jumps and lands hard on the ground. the ground impales into the earth and Sokka gets launched. Sokka starts screaming as he flies into the air.

Sokka keeps going up until he goes high enough. Just then, Aang flies by with his glider. "Hey Sokka." Aang passes by Sokka.

"Hey Aang." Sokka now falls down and continues screaming. Suki looks up and sees Sokka coming down. Suki backs up and Sokka crashes into the ground.

"Sokka!" Suki helps Sokka up, of course Sokka is in too much pain and get up. "What happen?"

Sokka groans and thinks back what happened. "Toph's what happened. She got and upset about...about...what was it she got upset about?"

Suki looks at the house and carries Sokka. Suki opens the door and walks inside. Suki takes a look at the decorations. "Wow, it looks nice in here."

"Yeah, I figured I make it feel like home." Sokka gets back on his feet, still feeling a little pain but ignoring it. "You think you can give me a hand with his banner?"

Suki holds up the banner and Sokka tapes it to the wall. Sokka makes the party a water tribute theme with the cake, the pelts, the multi blue colored balloons (Like light blue, dark blue, regular blue) Sokka hopes that Katara will enjoy the party, even the fact this is really the first time he'll ever surprise her.
