Epilogue – Truelove

Avatar: The Last Airbender

-!--!--!-

Ruifu was walking along the beach when a soft noise came from behind her. After the battle earlier that day, she had been a bit jumpy and quickly spun around, landing in a fighters position. "Whoa, it's just me." Sokka put his hands up in surrender.

Ruifu stood straighter, with a soft blush on her face as well. "Sorry. I was a bit in my own thoughts when I heard you."

"I know…I was too. Mind if I walk with you?" Sokka asked, a blush coming to his own face.

Ruifu nodded and they continued walking in silence. "So…what were you doing out here?" she asked, breaking the silence.

"Thinking…" The earthbender nodded, a little sad about the lack of answer. Sokka must have noticed, because he continued. "About someone, actually. Do you want to sit down?" He wasn't sure how much longer his feet could support him.

"Sure." And they did. After a while, Ruifu took a breath and asked, "Who?"

Sokka looked up. "What?"

"Who were you thinking about?" I bet it's an old girlfriend. No matter what Katara says. An unnoticed tear fell from her eye.

Sokka was silent for a while. So much, that Ruifu glanced up, only to have her green eyes lock with his blue ones. Before she could break the gaze, his hand came up and wiped the tear softly away. She leaned into his touch, but pulled back slightly, remembering her last thought.

Sokka noticed her withdraw and the shine almost leave her eyes. For some reason, he knew what she was thinking and softly smiled. "You…I was thinking about you."

She glanced at him in wonder, hope filling her eyes once more. She bit her lip softly, a deeper flush flooding her face. She looked away, but the hand still on her cheek made her look at him again. Sokka pulled her closer until their noses were almost touching and they both smiled. Faintly, they heard someone—Tian or Zhike—tell Iroh that he owed them, but paid no attention and soon were lost in the sweetest kiss both have ever had in the moonlight, which suddenly became brighter around them.

Aang looked up from his own spot on the beach towards the moon and saw an outline of a beautiful young woman smiling. He knew that Sokka and Ruifu finally told each other their feelings—not being able to see it for himself—and Yue was happy about it. He himself smiled and hopped onto a small boulder that was dry from the tide.

"Aang?" a soft voice came to his ears and he turned. Meng was standing a ways back and wore a saddened façade. "I know you don't like me much, but I just wanted you to know, that I like you a lot…" That was all he heard while she started ranting off about how it was all Katara and Zhike's idea to try and get them together, yada, yada, yada. He got an idea.

She didn't see him moving ever so slowly towards her until he was almost on top of her. Her breath hitched in her throat when she realized how close he was, more so when his hand came up and tucked a stray hair behind her ear.

"Meng?"

Brown locked with gray. "Y-yeah?"

"Shut up." Just after, Meng felt his lips slightly graze hers, but pull back at the sudden shock between them. After a moment of surprise, they both smiled and became one once more.

Hidden in the bushes nearby, two teenagers were trying to keep quiet. It wasn't working very well, so they both got away from there as fast as their legs could carry them silently, not wanting to disturb the new found couple. Once they felt they were far enough away, the two fell to the ground laughing.

Katara rolled onto her back and sat up. "Finally!"

Zuko watched her as she giggled in spasms. Sitting and scooting closer, he decided to take the Avatar's example. "Katara?"

She turned to him. "Yeah?"

Their foreheads touched. "Shut up." Katara grinned and decreased the distance between them.

And so, the end of this story ends as most fairytales do, though this isn't your everyday fantasy. What was I talking about? Oh yes. As all tales end, this is the same though different. Instead of only one truelove kiss, there are now three. Now all I'm wondering is who the poor guys are that have to end up with Tian and Zhike…—and no, there isn't a sequel, deal with it!

FINISHED!
