Zuko still had an uneasy feeling about Katara being good friends with her ex. He really just can't understand it. He's with Toph and Momo and he's trying to figure out this mess. Momo was resting his head in Zuko's lap getting many pets.

"Zuko isn't this something that your therapist can help you with?"

"Well, yeah, but really no. I know why I'm having issues processing it and it's mainly due to me liking her. For obvious reasons I can't tell her that."

"What if you just don't tell her it's her. Or even say it's a friend."

"Toph I don't think that will work."

"It's easy just say, 'hey I don't get how healthy relationships work. My friend keeps saying they're just friends with their ex but I don't believe them."

"I can't lie to her Toph. I just can't the thought of that literally disgusts me."

"I can't help you, man. Oh, what if you ask Sokka? He's actually, you know, had real relationships."

He thought about it for a moment and it did make more sense to talk to him about it rather than Toph. But then again he didn't have a Momo and he didn't always tell him what he needed to hear but it was worth a shot.

"You do have a point..."

"I know. If only you had my common sense." She punched where she thought his arm was but missed.

He couldn't hold his laughter.

"We won't speak of this."

Katara is at her apartment tidying up the place when she gets her weekly phone call from her dad.

"Hey, Dad."

"Hey kid, how was your day?"

"It was the usual talked to patients, drank some tea, did some yoga, talked with Sokka."

"How is he by the way? He says he's always busy when I call."

"He's doing fine. There's actually a bet going on right now about who will propose first." She laughed a little.

"Oh? Who's your money on?"

"I'm not betting it's too close to call for me. I think if he doesn't ask before break she's going to ask him."

"Yeah as much as I would like to bet on my son...Suki is something else."

She heard something from another room.

"Hey, dad..." Her tone suddenly changed to cautious.

"What."

"I just heard something one sec."

"I'm staying on the line."

She walked to her room first. She made sure to keep her back to the wall. She opened her door all the way and crouched in. She saw no one but her window was open.

"My window is open." She whispered.

She continued to check her room, nothing besides the window was out of place.

"My room is cleared, I'm going to check the bath-"

SLAM

She heard her front door slam shut and couldn't help but let out a startled scream.

"KATARA?"

"I'm fine but someone was definitely here." She had some trouble hiding the fear in her voice.

"Call the cops and you should stay with your brother tonight."

"Yeah, I'll do that..." She was obviously shaken by the incedent.

"Kat. You're going to be ok."

She didn't say anything but cautiously walked to the front door and saw a note.

All the therapy in the world can't help him. You should give up before something worse than leaving a note happens.

She gasped.

"You there?"

"Y-yeah it's just whoever was here they left a note."

"Call the cops now."

The next day Zuko went to Sokka's.

"Damn dude you just missed my sister, but she had to work today."

"It's fine besides I kinda want some advice and I don't know how I'd feel if I was asking it in front of your sister."

"Oh someone's finally realized just how wise I am?"

"More like your the only person I know who has a healthy relationship."

He sighed, "Fair enough come on in dude."

They walked to the table. It was very clear that Suki practically lived here. Everything was much neater and smelled a lot nicer too compared to their old roommate days.

"So what advice can I provide today?"

"I want to ask about your ex."

"Thank whoever above Suki isn't here right now."

"What happened?"

"Nothing bad. Suki just has a bad habit of comparing Yue to herslef. Yue was very sweet and would do basically anything you'd ask with no question and obviously Suki is very different. "

"Oh, ok. But I just want to know how can exes be friends. I just can't wrap my head around it."

"Well, it all depends. It helps if they were friends, to begin with, or if they just grew apart. Most of the time people don't stay friends with their ex and if they do it's very often closer to friends with benefits. In my case though I wouldn't say I'm friends with Yue. We tried being friends once but it was just too awkward. She is still friends with my sister somehow."

Zuko was still just as frustrated as earlier. Maybe Toph was right and he should just tell Katara.

"Why are you asking by the way."

"Mai came up in my last session and my therapist tried to give me an example of a healthy breakup, but it kinda made me mad."

"Careful your jealousy is showing."

"I know and that's why I am so frustrated."

"It will be fine Zuko and besides just remember exes are exes for a reason."

"I probably will just talk to her about it somehow."

"Do whatever you need dude."

"What time is it?"

"About noon, why?"

"I have a shift at 2."

"If you want we can play a game before you head out." Sokka was already walking to the living room.

Zuko smiled and followed. He did miss the days of beating Sokka.
