A/N: I made a Valentines story of Aang and Katara. Of course it isn't just them. There's also Zuko, Toph and Sokka. I amde this story last month. It feels pretty cheesy writing a Valentines Story two months earlier, but I couldn't help myself. Anywho: This is part III of the story. The gang is spending time with one another. Of course, things get ugly for Sokka. You'll soon see. Katara feels a little uncomfortable for what she see Aang has to do, but she handles it.

Sokka and Ohev: The missing Basco:

On the next day, Sokka is posting more posters on the walls of the city. Just then, he sees Ohev walking by. Ohev sees Sokka and walks up to him.

"Hey...Aang, right?" Ohev asks.

"Not really. It's Sokka." Sokka says. Sokka posts the last poster he has with him. "So, I hear Toph asked you out to the ball."

Ohev blushes a little Sokka mentioning that. "Yeah, she sure did."

Sokka wraps his arm around Ohev's shoulder and pinches his cheek. "Well, good for you, little man!" Sokka gets off of Ohev. "You know, I've been asking Toph to get a date since we got the invitation to the ball."

"Well, then I guess she...or you, are lucky she and I ran into each other." Ohev mentions.

Sokka and Ohev returns to the house and picks up most posters. Ohev is disturbed by the looks of the pile. So he helps up with the posters. About an hour later, they are nearly posted the whole town with the posters.

"How many posters are there?" Ohev asks.

"Trust me, you don't want to know." Sokka says, hanging the posters. "I just wish we could find the bear and end this job." Ohev walks down the streets, hanging more posters. "I wonder where he is...maybe the assassin that's after the earth king has the bear to ask for a bribe...Or...Maybe is trying to use the bear to have the earth king come and get him, to end the earth king!"

Just as Ohev was at the door steps of a fish restaurant, the owner tosses someone out. "THAT'S ENOUGH FISH FOR YOU!"

Sokka looks at Ohev and sees that "person" that was tossed out is Basco. Basco looks at Ohev and licks him in the face. "...Or maybe he's just having lunch at a restaurant." Ohev says.

Basco gets off of Ohev and Sokka helps him up. Sokka just looks at Basco confused. "Do you think he's been at that restaurant all this time?"

"I don't know." Ohev says. "Let's just get him back to the earth king and get our lives back to normal."

Ohev and Sokka takes Basco to the earth kingdom palace. Just as they arrive at the top of the stairs, all of the guards surround them, and lifted each of their boulders on top of them, preparing for them to crush them.

"State your name and business!" One of the guards asks.

Sokka realizes, the earth king is on major threat. All of the guards are on the alert. "Guys, it's me. Sokka." Sokka says. The guards just looks at Sokka suspiciously. "Warrior of the southern water tribute...friends with the avatar...I even help planned the invasion." Sokka walks up to one of the guards and into his face. "You even gave me those 'Lost Basco' posters...and by the way, THAT was NOT a few. There were so many posters to be enough to fill up the grand canyon!"

The guards lower their weapons, but gets a closer look at Sokka and Ohev. "Well...the kid isn't anything like the assassin." One of the guards says. Ohev smiles, but Sokka gives a jealous look. "But this 'Sokka' character could be the assassin in disguise. We better give him the extremely painful test search number 823.01-GH."

Sokka gives a horrified look as the guards grabs him by the chest. "Wait! WHAT!?" The guards drags Sokka into the palace.

Sokka was taken to another room, only thing that escapes are the sounds of Sokkas painful screams along with the sounds of chainsaws, jackhammers, an army of trucks, gunshoting, a cat howling angrily, elephants shouting, birds screeching, pianos crashing and then a giant explosion.

After the sounds fade, the guards drags Sokka back outside. Sokka is shaking like crazy with his eyes widen like he's about to go crazy. "Ok. He's clear!"

The guards escort Sokka and Ohev into the throne room. The earth king takes a look at the boy and Sokka. "Is something wrong with Sokka?" The earth king asks.

"Not really sir. But he isn't the assassin. We just gave him extremely painful test search number 823.01-GH." The guard explains.

"YOU'RE CRAZY GIVING ME A SEARCH AND TEST LIKE THAT!" Sokka explodes at the guard.

The earth king raised his eyebrows hearing that. "Sokka's right. He shouldn't be getting extremely painful test search number 823.01-GH." The earth king says. Sokka closes his eyes, crosses his arms and smiles like a smart-alick. "He should be getting unbearably painful test search code: Crying for my mommy until I turn 70 number 9245.001-XL."

Sokka instantly opens his eyes and frowns from hearing that. Then the guards grabs Sokka and drags him out of the room. "Of course, your majesty!" The guard says. Sokka just screams his head off as the guards drags him away. When they leave the room, the sounds escape. Sounds of Sokka's even louder painful screams along with sounds of an army of trucks, cannonfire, bombs exploding, monkeys yelling like crazy, carts crashing, fat ladies screaming, fireworks popping, an army of vikings battle crying and three critical explosions. The guards return with Sokka, Sokka shaking even more, whimpering, chattering his teeth and his eyes widen even further, if really possible. "Okay, he's clear."

"Well, that's good." The earth king says.

Just as the earth king sits, Sokka explodes even more then he did at the guard. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?" Everyone just stares at Sokka like he's a crazy manic.

"Anyways. May I ask what are you two doing here?" The Earth King asks.

Ohev walks outside and walks back in with Basco. "We found him got kicked out of a fish restaurant." Ohev explains.

"Basco!" the earth king says, standing up, opening his arms. Basco runs to the Earth King and roars. Basco jumps on the earth king and then licks his face. The earth king laughs and then gets back on his feet. "Thanks for bringing Basco back."

Sokka and Ohev leaves, but the gaurds blocks their way. "Hold it!" The guard says. "Before you leave, you need to take extremely times infinity searing painful search and test code: I wish I was immune to pain and suffer and i had my blanky number 81934-KGJM/NUG.019BO."

Sokka boils angrily. "Oh no! NO NO NO NO NO NO! YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!" Sokka bolts through the gears. Just as Sokka makes through the outside within half a second, he laughs like crazy. "Free! I'm free! FREE!" Sokka laughs even crazier as he runs through the city.

Katara and Aang: Fitting:

Aang and Katara arrives at Ba Sing Se. Apa lands right in front of the house. Aang hops off of Appas head and Aang helps Katara get down. "So, dating that girl was just part of the deal to get that dress?"

Aang nods, then looks down a little upset. "I'm not really proud of it, but...I want to get you something special and..."

Katara puts her hands on Aangs cheeks and makes him face her. Katara's smiling a little at Aang. "It's okay. I understand." Aang smiles a little at Katara. "By the way, what was the other deal?"

Aang widens his eyes remembering the other part of the deal. "I almost forgot. I need to get back to that shop." Aang runs as fast as the wind. Katara widens her eyes in confusion. Why would he need to go to the tailor's shop as part of that other deal.

Just as Katara was about to follow Aang, Sokka runs by, laughing like a manic, while shouting "Free! Free! FREE!" Sokka bolts into the house. Katara looks pretty confused for Sokka, but she just decides to go with Aang.

A few minutes later, Katara shows up at the tailors shop. Katara walks in and sees only the dresses that are around. Just then, Leslie walks up with a whole roll of fabric. "Hi there." Leslie says. Katara turns around and sees Leslie. She's not real happy seeing her here. "Oh...you're the avatar's ex-girlfriend." Leslie says. Katara forms her eyes in confusion. 'ex-girlfriend' "...I thought you and Aang broke up after...you know."

Katara realizes, Aang probably didn't tell her what happened. "Well, we sort of did at first, but we made up." Katara says. "Where's Aang?"

Leslie takes Katara to another room of the shop. Katara walks in and sees Aang in a half-dressed suit, with the tailor sticking pins into the dress and doing some sawing. Katara looks curious, yet confused on what's going on here.

Aang sees Katara. "Oh, hey Katara." Aang says. The tailor looks at the door and sees Katara.

"So, this is the lovely Katara you talked about." The tailor says. The tailor walks up to Katara and offers her hand. "I'm Asami. The tailor of this shop. I even designed that dress the avatar got for you."

Katara takes Asami's hand and shakes it. "Nice to meet you. I really love that dress, you're amazing at it." Katara says.

"Thanks." Asami continues working on Aang.

Katara sits down and just watches Aang. Just then, Leslie walks up to Katara. "There anything you need?"

Katara shook her head. "No thanks, i'm good." Leslie places the fabric down and leaves the room. "So, what's going on here?"

"Asami is design a new outfit for boys like me, and she needs me for fitting." Aang explains. "I agreed to do this to get that dress."

Katara raises her eyebrow. "You couldn't just do that instead of dating the girl?"

"I probably would have let him." Asami mentions. "But that dress is pretty expensive. I figured doing both would be a big enough earning."

Katara hardly understands, but she just accepts it. The dating thing is over, Aang got the dress and this next part of the deal of keeping that dress isn't anything serious. Why argue? Katara just sits aside watching Aang.

Asami leaves the room for a moment. Aang relaxs a little, but still stands on the stool. Katara smiles at Aang. "I think you look nice." Katara says. Aang is only wearing dark green pants with a black slave-less vest with a green outlining.

"Well, Asami isn't finished you. She's still working on it." Aang mentions.

"I know." Katara says. Asami returns with a dark green fabric. Asami holds it in front of the vest and gives a close look. She decides to go with it and starts rolling it around Aangs arm until it was fitable for his arms to fit through. "Anyways, Zuko says an airship will come by tomorrow to pick us up. There anything you'd like to do before we leave?"

Asami moves to her desk and gets to work on the fabric. "I don't know. Asami, how much longer do you need me?" Aang asks.

Asami doesn't look back, just focus on her work. "Probably another hour. Shouldn't take any longer."

Aang smiles a little then faces Katara. "We could probably go to dinner after I'm done here."

Katara smiles at the offer. "Sure, I'd like that."

Katara spends the next hour siting, watching Asami do her work on the suit on Aang. By then, Asami finishes the dress and gets a good look at Aang and the dress. Asami walks around Aang, reviewing the dress. Katara thinks he looks rather handsome in that suit. She can all ready imagine how he would look in the outfit she got him.

Asami adds a black bow tie to the suit then backs for another review. "I think this might work." Asami says.

Aang looks at himself in the mirror. "Yeah, looks nice. What do you think Katara?"

Katara feels a little surprised, she never actually thought Aang would want her comment on the outfit. "I like it. I think it's gonna be a hit, Asami."

Aang goes to the changing room to switch back into his fire nation/air nation clothes. Aang and Katara leaves the shop and takes a walk down the street. They both just can't wait for Valentines Day, to see each other at the ball.

Suki and Toph: For the ball:

Toph just lays on the couch in the living room. Suki walks in with a worried look. Toph can feel Suki coming in. "So, how captain boomerang doing?" Toph asks.

"He's still a little...crazy." Suki says. "So, I hear you have a date to the ball." Toph just rolls her eyes, like she's saying it's so obvious she has a date. It's been like, what? A day, or two? Aang and Katara use to tell me about this boy you had a crush on while in fire nation disguise. Was that him?"

Toph blushes a little, and gets a little worried thinking of how many people Katara and Aang told about her and Ohev.

"Yeah, it's the same guy." Toph admits. Toph sits up and glares at Suki with her sightless eyes. "How much did they tell you?"

Suki looks a little worried. "Nothing, just that you were in love with this boy." Suki says. Toph feels weird yelling at her like that. It shows how much she LOVES the boy. Toph jsut lays back down on the couch."You got anything to wear for the ball?"

Toph widens her eyes, realizing she doesn't have anything to wear for the ball. Toph instantly sits up on the couch. "Oh no! I forgot I don't have anything to wear!"

"Well, you should get a dress. I mean, your date wants to look nice as well to impress you." Suki says.

Toph lets her head down on the couch and rolls her eyes. "Oh yeah, cause I'm SOOOOOO madly in love with him for his looks." Toph says sarcastically, then Toph gives a widen open mouth smile and waves in front of her eyes, facing Suki.

Suki realizes that Toph is blind. "Sorry." Suki says. "Well, I need to get a dress as well. So, let's go." Suki grabs Tophs wrist and drags her out of the house.

Suki and Toph walks down the street and into the Earth City Mall. Suki looks over dresses. Of course, after then, she notices Toph isn't even looking over the dress.

"Hey, why aren't you looking over the dress?" Suki asks.

Toph grunts in frustration. "How many times must I tell everyone? I'M BLIND!"

Suki just rolls her eyes. "Well. Then let me help you." Suki takes Toph to the line of dresses that are about her size. Suki looks over the dress then finds a pink one with a red sash and white outlining. "How about this?"

Toph feels the dress. "Well...it does feel soft." Toph says. "Is there anything else?"

Suki looks around the dresses and sees a blue dress. "Maybe this." Suki holds the dress in front of Toph then thinks. "Uh...Blue's not really your color." Suki looks over the dresses again. Suki takes out a white dress with a blue sash and small emerald gems on the dress. "Hey, how about this one?"

Suki hands the dress to Toph. Toph feels the dress. "Well...it's really smooth and soft." Toph pulls the dress to her face and feels it. She's smiling at the feeling. "I think I'll go with this."

Suki smiles then takes the dress. "Excellent."

Suki gets the dress for Toph. Then she goes back to women's dresses for a dress herself. Suki picks out a red dress with a white rose attach to one of the shoulder straps. Suki and Toph leaves the mall with their dress.

"By the way, what's his name?" Suki asks.

"Who?" Toph asks, then she widens her eyes realizing who she's talking about. "Oh. Uh, his name is Ohev."

Suki looks curious hearing that name. "Ohev...I think I heard that name before." Suki asks.

"How could you know him?" Toph asks. "He's an orphan who's worked with my parents for years, ran away and joined those annoying singing nomads."

Suki gives Toph a serious look. "I said I think I heard that name. I didn't say I may know him." Suki and Toph returns home. "I at least hope Sokka's gonna be okay. And that Aang and Katara are doing better since...you know."

Toph looks at Suki confused. "Actually, I don't know. Whatever happened to those two?" Suki whispers everything into Tophs ear. Toph widens her eyes hearing that. "Whoa! I never knew Twinkletoes was a player." Toph raises her arms and yells in excitement. "I LIKE THAT!"

Suki just rolls her eyes. "Actually, he doesn't love that girl. He's really just doing it to get that dress." Suki says. "If only Sokka would be more romanic like Aang is."

Just then, Aang and Katara walks back into the house. "Yeah, like that'll happen." Toph says in a tone that means it's never gonna happen."

"What's gonna happen?" Katara asks. Suki and Toph flinches from hearing them then turned around. "What are you two talking about?"

Suki and Toph hold their hands behind their back, forces an uneasy smile then talks at once. "Nothing!"

Aang and Katara looks at Toph and Suki with confused looks, then at each other. "So, tomorrow, we're going to the fire nation. Right?" Suki asks.

"Yeah. Zuko's gonna have an airship pick us up." Katara says. "I can't wait for the ball." Katara looks at Aang. "How about you, sweetie?"

Aang smiles at Katara. "Yeah, I can't wait either." Aang looks at Suki and Toph. "How about you two."

Toph just crosses her arms. "Eh. Whatever you say."

Suki just laughs at Toph, knowning she's just hiding her feelings for Ohev. "Well, I for one, am looking forward to this."

After the conversation, everyone heads to their rooms and goes to bed. Aang and Katara, however, didn't really go to sleep, they just looked at the dress that they gave each other. Then they think about each other, just can't wait to see (Katara) Aang in that suit. (Aang) Katara in that dress.
