Chapter 7
Love and Disappointments
"Katara..." Aang said shyfully "I know this may not be the best time, but I really, really like you. And I'm hoping, that you like me too." He said blushing "Aang. I do like you, alot." Katara said wrapping her arms around the little monk. It had gotten colder and colder in the prison cells with each passing day, so far they had been on the fire nation ship for 2 or 3 weeks, and they had lost all hope in Sokka, but he was in the Fire Nation now. Katara had recived a note not to long ago stating that her father died. Katara cried in Aangs arms for an hour. She asked one of the guards to if she could she her brother, Sokka to tell him what had happened, but the guards told her that he was to busy training to see her.
Sokka and Nava were sitting in Sokka's room cuddled up drinking hot coco, in the warm room. Today was Sokka's birthday he turned 16, he could now marry, and he had plans to make. "Nava, I know this is pretty sudden." Sokka paused and pulled out a small box, and opened it, and it was a beautiful Fire Nation ruby gem necklace, "...but will you marry me?" Sokka asked as he gave her the necklace. She held it in her hands and she looked up at Sokka with water in her eyes. "Oh Sokka I will, i will marry you." Nava exclaimed as Sokka kissed her passionitly. Just then there was a knock on the door. "Sir, permission to enter?" Sokka stopped kissing Nava and got out of bed, and Nava put on her engajment necklace on. And he opened his door "Yes, what is it?" Sokka asked "Your sister, would like to see you for a moment she says its' erjent.
Katara was lying on her bed with her head on Aangs lap, she was crying a little bit about her father. She didn't know too much about him, she was too young to remeber him, and then he left for war, and then her mother was killed by the fire nation, and now she had lost her brother. Then Katara heard foot steps in the hallway and she got up and stood by the metal bars "Sokka..." She said to him "Yes Katara?" He asked "I have really bad news... Dad died. and if he saw you like this Sokka, you know how disappointed he would be? To see you as a man in the Fire nation!" Katara snapped "Katara are you serious? Dad would of been proud of me no matter what I did. I'm his son, and I love it here in the Fire Nation, its warm, and they treat you like kings. And I'm not leaving the fire nation, because I getting married." Sokka said as he stormed off. Leaving Aang and Katara with there jaws dropped to his answer.
Sokka walked off to the training room. Where Nava was waiting for him. "Sokka, do you think we should tell Zuko we're getting married?"? Nava asked "Well we'll tell your father when we arrive at the palace." "What if they find out your in the water tribe?" "They won't, And besides I'm part of the Fire Nation now. Unless I'm asked to duel, they'll never know." Sokka said giving her a kiss on the cheek. And then he headed back to his room to take a shower. Sokka had taken a 2 hour long shower, then he wrapped him self in a robe and laid down on his 'What I'm I doing here? Am I really a Firebender now? Did my father die, or did Katara tell me so I would quit my job?' Sokka thought as he dozed off on his bed. Then there was a loud knocking on the door "Sokka! We're here, come out and see!" He heard Nava shout to him through the metal door. Sokka walked out of his room and saw a huge palace.
Katara and Aang were cuddled up to each other. It was freezeing in there prison cell, the air that blew in from the window was so cold. Katara opened her eyes and saw that they were at a dock. "Aang we stopped, we could escape." She exclaimed "Katara how are we going to get out? We need a key for the door, and we don't know what it looks like, and we cant make one." "Well we obviously stopped for a reason, but what reason." Aang looked out the window and saw the Fire kingdom palace. "Katara, I think I know why we stopped..."
