Notes: Hola mi amigos!

Here it is, finally. Ya know this is the first fic I've finished without forcing myself to do so. Pathetic huh? Not much of an ending, more a a filler really, but I couldn't just end it with Lao all mad and junk!

Thanks sososososososo much to Kimbalynn616 for betaing for me. Again, you know I don't think people could even understand this story without her input!

Also, keep an eye out for a sequal, starring Katara, Jin, and Song. That should be interesting huh? I'll post a title and a summary later...as well as a sneak peek to the first chapter...Depending on feedback! Ha! You thought you could get out of reveiwing just cause it's the last chapter? I think not!

Lots of Love!

Toph
smirked, crouching behind a bush in the Fire Palace's gardens.

Meng bit her lip to keep from giggling.

Suki wondered why her boyfriend was so serious all of the sudden.

Aang wanted to know what the heck was going on.

Sokka's head was screaming at him, telling him that he was an idiot, and threatening him: should he not get the heck away from the girl next to him before he did something stupid.


"Why are we hidi-"

"Shhh!" Toph and Meng shushed the Airbender. Meng squinted, looking over Aang's bald head at the couple; they hadn't heard anything.

"Aang, this is supposed to be a surprisedon't ruin it!" Toph whispered harshly.

Sokka rubbed the back of his neck anxiously, glancing back at the three figures behind the bush.

Meng motioned with her hands for him to hurry up, mouthing for him to go.

Suki looked at the young man oddly. Sokka smiled nervously under her gaze.

"Is something wrong, Sokka?"

"What!? No! Nothing's wrong! What made you think something's wrong?! Everything's fine! I mean, why wouldn't everything be fine?! Nope! I don't think there's anything wrong?! I mean what could happen?! Not that anything is–will!–has-- happened! Nope…nothing's wrong."

Suki blinked at the seventeen-year-old.

"Heh, heh…"

"Right…" Suki said, turning back to the rose bushes.

Behind them, Toph smacked her forehead. Meng groaned. Aang finally processed what was happening through the leaves.

"Holy spirits, Toph! Is Sokka going to-"

"Shut up, Twinkle Toes!" Toph hissed.

"So, this is why you wanted to stay here for an extra day!" Aang grinned into…well, Toph's ear.

"Aang, this isn't really the best time to be talking…!" Meng whispered, flicking his head.

"Oh, right. Sorry!"

"Now, you will be quiet…?" Toph rolled her eyes, nudging him with her shoulder. Aang shrugged, nudging her back. Meng groaned, was she and Lee this…ugh!

Suki leaned down to sniff one of the flowers. Sokka took this opportunity to begin digging through his pockets. When Suki straightened, he was still searching for the necklace.

"Sokka, what are you doing?" The warrior asked him.

Toph could tell that the poor boy was beginning to panic slightly.

"Hmm?! What?! Oh, nothing, Suki." Suki raised her eyebrows at him. She decided to ignore his behavior and continue to examine the fragrant blossoms.

Sokka quickly searched again, before turning towards the bushed and shrugging.

Toph groaned and gestured to his boomerang pouch (well, actually she flung a pebble at it through the branches and leaves, but close enough). Sokka blinked before plunging his hand inside it. A grin lit up his face when he felt the charm he had slaved over for so long. He gave Toph a thumb's up. Toph just shook her head.

It was a wonder she had ever learned to tolerate the tribesman.

"Sokka?" Suki questioned, slightly amused at her friend's antics.

Sokka breathed in deeply, and he turned to face her. He smiled falteringly.

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure you're all right?" The girl asked him, slightly concerned for his sanity.

"Suki, I've wanted to ask you something…for a while now." Sokka paused, fingering the necklace behind his back.

The hidden group held their breath. Aang a little too much; he choked a bit, but, with a thump or two on the back, from the girls piled on him, he was okay.

"Really? What?" Suki asked taken aback. Sokka inhaled deeply, then walked around behind her. Suki's eyes followed him as he did so.

"Suki, of Kyoshi Island, will you marry me?" He clasped the ribbon around her neck.

Toph smiled slightly at Suki's heart rate. Meng giggled at the expression on Suki's face. Aang grinned as Suki nodded slowly, then faster.

Suki whirled around on Sokka and hugged him tightly.

"Yes! Yesyesyes, YES!!!" Suki squealed.

"Really?! You will!?" He didn't wait for an answer as he kissed his fiancé soundly on the lips.

Toph whooped loudly, straightening up.

Meng shrieked happily and squeezed Toph tightly, jumping.

Aang laughed, created an air scooter, and whizzed past the couple and into one of the trees.

The two pulled apart and laughed as Aang flipped over, holding his head with a goofy grin plastered on his face, "Whoo!"

Toph laughed at her friend.

Then Meng started laughing, but not at Aang.

"Nice hair Toph!"

"You, too."

"I am not falling for that!" Toph glared blankly at the twelve-year-old.

It took Meng a few seconds to realize how she ended up on the ground.
