Chapter 29

Katara's POV

"I don't know," I said, laughing at his comment. "I've never really seen you drunk before, Jet."

He grunted. "That's because I know when to stop drinking; unlike some people, not going to name any names."

I smiled.

He sighed, clearing his throat in the process. "Um…how have you and Zuko been?"

I hesitated. "Good, I guess."

"Do you know?" He smirked, cracking his knuckles.

I shrugged, starting to feel very apathetic talking to him. "Everything is fine, Jet. Why are you worrying?"

"I'm not worrying?" he quickly said. "I'm just…making conversation."

"Right," I said, finishing up the liquid in my glass. "I guess I'll just go make conversation elsewhere." I turned around.

"Katara, I wasn't trying to get into your business," he said. "I…was just…"

"Please don't say 'making conversation," I said, rubbing my throbbing forehead. "You know what, I think I'm gonna leave, I'm starting to get a headache."

"I'm sorry," Jet said walking with me back to the table.

"For what?" I questioned. I turned towards Zuko who was putting his cake in a to-go box. "You ready to leave."

"Yeah" he said, glancing over at Mai then back at me. "Jet you got a ride?"

"Yeah, Mai and I rode together," he said, placing his glass on the table. "How about we all just leave together?"

We all nodded, walking towards the entrance. I motioned to Toph and Aang, who were actually cuddling up on the swing seat, to come down with us.

"Where are Suki and Sokka?" Aang asked. "I could've sworn I just saw them sitting by the tables."

We looked around.

"They probably went home too," Zuko said. "Sokka did say that he was going to try to get Suki tonight. I hope he didn't."

"Why?" I asked.

He snorted. "We made a made a bet that if he couldn't get her, he would have to pay me and Aang 10 dollars for five days."

"That's so stupid," Toph said unenthused. "Why didn't you just tell him to pay you 50 dollars today?"

Aang hesitated before he spoke. "Oh, I didn't think about that."

"Boys," Toph mumbled.

"I'll call her," I said, taking out my phone.

"Yeah, yeah call her!" Aang said excitedly. "That'll prevent Sokka from doing anything. Call them."

"No, don't," Toph said. "If we were in Suki's position, she wouldn't call. Suki would be mad at us for interrupting them. Beside we're her best friends," Toph said pointing to her and me. "Even though Suki loves Sokka, that's not the only reason she's with him. I mean, that wouldn't be my only reason."

"What would be your reason?" Aang asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Oh, look at Aang being protective of his girl," I laughed. "You guys are so cute. C'mon, Toph, show him some love."

Toph rolled her eyes. "Um…not that I don't want to…"

"Sure, leave him hanging," Zuko mumbled.

"Didn't you guys come with Sokka and Suki?" I asked.

Aang suddenly gasped. "They left without us? They couldn't be in that much of a hurry to do nothing."

"Wait," Toph said, glancing at her phone, "Suki just texted me." She began to type quickly.

"Where are they?" I asked.

"They're looking for us…"

"Where are they?" I repeated.

I saw her frown after she read the message Suki sent. "They're in the car."

"Are they that desperate?" I hear Mai say.

We all looked up; searching for the car Suki and Sokka were in. We all frowned once we found them, the only car with the music turned all the way up to its limit.

"What are you guys doing in here?" Toph yelled over the music. "We were looking all over for you guys."

Suki laughed, turning down the stereo. "We've been here for the longest waiting for you to come out. "

"You should've at least told us where you were," Mai said seriously. "We thought you took the car and left."

Suki frowned. "Why would I do that?"

"Because you're Suki," Toph said plainly. "What have you guys been doing?"

"Sokka, did you do it?" Aang asked.

Sokka hesitated before he spoke. "I didn't—"

"Pay up, Sokka," Zuko said, cutting him off.

"I never said anything," Sokka said.

"I can see it in your face, man," Zuko said, putting his hand out. "You lost."

"Lost what?" Suki asked, running her hand through her hair.

Sokka paid 10 dollars to both Aang and Zuko, ignoring Suki's question.

"The bet," Aang said.

Suki frowned, crossing her arms over her chest. "What bet?"

"Ask your boyfriend," Zuko said, putting his money inside of his wallet. Suki turned to look at Sokka.

"Well?"

"Suki, it was just some stupid bet," Sokka said. "It was nothing."

"Ok, then what was it about?" she persisted impatiently.

Sokka sighed. "We made a bet to see if I could get you in bed tonight, but since I lost, I have to pay ten dollars to them this whole week."

Suki stared at the black haired boy she called her boyfriend. "You were using me?" I stared at her, she was unusually calm.

"No," he hesitated. "I actually thought I would win."

"You were using me?" Suki questioned again.

Sokka sighed louder. "Suki it's not like that. I love you, I do, but today the guys wanted to see if…if…"

"If you would get laid," Suki said, finishing his sentence. Sokka nodded, and she scoffed. "You're pathetic."

"I know," Sokka confessed. "But you'd be in it, too—"

"Why do you guys always want sex?" she said quickly.

"Huh, and I thought I was only one who thought that," I said, looking over at Zuko.

"It is in the nature of being a man," Sokka said. "You got a lot of seed and you gotta spread it around."

Toph grunted, making a noise that meant Sokka was going about that the wrong way. "Don't say it like that, Sokka. It makes you seem like a man-whore."

Sokka turned to look over at Suki. "Look, Suki, I find you SO attractive I can't help myself."

She rolled her eyes. "Why does the relationship have to be encircled around sex? Why do you make it seem like an owner and pet relationship?"

"Oh, so you want to be on top next time?" he said. "That's cool, that's fine with me. I'll be the pet, you be the owner."

Suki frowned. "That's not what I mean"

Sokka frowned and looked over at me. "Katara, a little help on this one."

I sighed. "She means that if you guys would spend some time just as a couple without getting intimate ALL the time, when you guys do get intimate, it'll be more special—and it'll rock her world all the more."

"You didn't have to add the last part, Katara," Suki said.

"Ooookay, I get it," he said. "I'm sorry if I made it seem like that. For now on, you get to choose when we get to be intimate."

Suki scoffed. "That's not gonna catch on with you."

"Yeah, it might not," he said. "But we could try." He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, kissing her on the cheek.

Toph clapped. "Oh, well played, my young friend well played." She turned to look at Zuko. "See, now Sparky why can't you be like that to Katara? Snoozles did everything right."

"I am like that to Katara," Zuko said.

"No you're not!" I said.

"It's not always about the sex, Katara," he sighed. "I thought we just discussed this."

I grunted. "Yeah, but when we get home, you're ready to pull my clothes off."

"I wish someone would do that for me," Toph said, hitting Aang in the arm. "Aang is too shy to do anything."

"Don't get all in your feeling, Katara," Mai said, crossing her arms over her chest. "When Zuko and I used to date—"

I put my hand up, cutting her off. "I really don't give two shits about what you and Zuko used to do when you guys dated. I seriously don't care, Mai. And whoever said anything to you because last time I checked I was talking to Zuko, not Mai Tousling."

Mai turned around, looking over her shoulder. "I know that you aren't talking to me."

I looked over at Toph who smirked. "You're the only Mai Tousling here, aren't you?" I said snidely.

"You know what, Katara," Mai started. "I try really hard to like you because Zuko told me to, but I'm really starting to hate you now."

"Mai, what are doing?" Zuko said. "Are you trying to start something?"

"Why do you care what I'm trying to start, Zuko?" she asked. "I'm talking to Katara."

"You're presenting your thoughts to everyone here if you haven't noticed," Toph said.

"Listen, short stuff, stay out of big people's conversations, ok? It's rude to jump in conversations like that," Mai said, still staring at me."

Toph bawled up her fist. "Who the hell do you think you're talking to, you bit—girl."

"What were you about to say?" Mai said. "Go on, say it."

Aang pulled Toph away. "You know what your parole officer said about fighting."

"No, its okay, Toph," I said. "We can take her together.'

"Who are you guys supposed to be," Mai said with a laugh, "the double duo? Remember, I used to fight back in high school: Me, Ty Lee, and Azula, and you know how Azula was."

"Now they have three," Suki said stepping in. "I've always wanted to fight you."

"Wow, that makes it even better," Mai said sarcastically.

"You should leave, Mai," Zuko said. "You're getting out of control. I would rather have my sister here than you. You're starting to act like how she used to act."

Mai slapped Zuko hard on the cheek. We all gasped. "How dare you compare me to your sister?"

Zuko stared at her wide eyed. He blinked his eyes a couple times and rubbed at his cheek. "You mother-fu—"

I put my hand over his mouth before he could continue. His eyes were swarmed with anger. "Let me do the honors, Zuko." And with that being said, I swung hard at Mai's pathetic face.
