chapter seven

The evening's light

After lunch they all had tea, desert and talked. Katara was talking to Zuko, Sokka was talking to Destiney, and Iroh left. He said he had to get something. "So do you want to go to my birthday ball my uncle Iroh is throwing?" Zuko asked looking at her. She nodded. "When is it?" she asked. "In about a week, we should go shopping and you can get your own dress, unless you want to wear one of my mother's." he said.

Katara smiled and laughed. "Whatever you want me to do, What color did your mother like?" she asked. Zuko smiled. "Blue, purple, and black." he said. Katara smiled. "I can live with that." Zuko smiled more and grabbed her hand. "I show you them." she followed him out the door, but stopped inn the hallway. "But what about Sokka and Destiney? I thougth we were goingt o the garden to practice?" she asked. Zuko nodded. "How about tommaro if that is alright, we just got them together, and I bet they want a little bit of alone time." she nodded and they walked off.

Sokka watched them and frowned deeply. Destiney put a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay he's probobly going to show her my mother's dresses." she said and put her hand back on her lap when he settled down. "How do you know?" he said and looked at her. And eyebrow cocked.

Destiney laughed and shrugged. "It happens when you have a cousin who knows nothing about what woman like, and want." she said and stood. "Would you like to go the gardens? They have the most beautiful flowers in the whole Fire Nation." Sokka looked back at the door and nodded. He stood and grabbed Destiney's hand. And they walked out the door also.

While all of this was happening Iroh was down in the cells talking to someone. "Okay if this plan works out the way we plan it to we can have you out and you can finish your duty." Aang steeped out of the shadows and for the first time in a year smiled. "Okay Iroh, but what if it doesn't I'll be stuck in here forever and, but wait the fire nation already won the war what could I possibly do to help now?" he asked all the faith in his voice once again dying, just like his pride, hope, and his honor.

"Well Avatar Aang, Ozia has not completely won this war yet, he declares he has, but he still has not won over the water tribe nations, and a pretty big section of the earth nation." Iroh said. Aang looked at him and smiled. "Fine, but why would Ozia lie to his people and half the world? And wouldn't people kind of notice that the war wasn't finished? Is that why he will not let me go yet?" he asked, the avatar's hope was once again fading. Iroh sighed. "Because my brother is one of the best liers there ever was, he has his ways Aang, he has special people blocking off the places not yet ruled by fire nation, And yes Avatar Aang that is why he will not let you go, he is afraid you will find out and stop this war from finishing." he said averting his eyes to the ground.

Zuko opend a door and led Katara in. Katara gasped and started exploring the room. "It's like a giant closet." she said. Zuko nodded and smiled. "It is a closet, Katara." he said. She blushed a little and looked away. "Oh." she whispered. She laughed and ran her fingers through the dresses hanging on carts in the middle of the room. "Wow these dressed are beautiful Zuko." she whispered more to herself then him. He nodded and grabbd one on a special hook. "This is the one my mother wore the most, she even wore it the day before she died." he said and ran his fingers on the dress. She walked up to him and looked at it.

"Do you mind if I wear that one?" she asked softly. He nodded and smiled. "I would rather you wear it, instead of it being cramed in a closet." he said and handed it nicely to her. She smiled and observed it. It was red and blue, it was ruffled at the bottom and at the sleeves. Then on the sleeves it went down and ended in a V on your hand. It had a tie around the middled and it hung on the back. It was even open a little on the back. "Can I try it on?" she asked. Zuko nodded and pointed to a door. "You can dress in there if you want, it's a bathroom, but no one really uses it." he said.

She nodded and ran over to it. She opend the door and walked inside. She closed the door and looked around. "I wonder why no one uses it?" she whispered to herself. It was a nice bathroom. It had red wall paper and a big bath at the back. She shrugged and untied her robe. She took off her pants and set them on the floor nicely. She untied the dress and slipped it on. It fit her perfectly, even the top part.

She smiled, it's good to have filled in up there. She thought. She looked over at the body sized mirror and gasped. It was beautiful on her. It hugged her curves, although it was a little tight under the breast, and a little on the legs she loved it. "I can see why she wore this, it's beautiful." she said.

Then Zuko knocked on the door. "Are you okay in there?" he asked. "Yes she said and opend the door. He grinned and a tear ran down his cheek. "You remind me of my mother in that dress Katara." he whispered. She frowned. "Do you want me to take it off?" she asked. He shook his head. "No keep it on, it suits you beautifuly."

Destiney opend a slide door and pulled Sokka in. He smiled and gave a little gasp. "It's perfect, isn't it?" she whispered. He nodded and started to walk. "You have Southern Water lillies!" he whispered and bent down by it. Destiney went with him and nodded. "My Aunt and mother built this by themselves you know, picked out all the flowers they wanted." she whispered. He looked at her and frowned.

"What happened to you Aunt and mother?" he asked. She closed her eyes and let out a ragged sigh. "They died, my mother tried to save her but ended up dying with her." she whispered. Sokka nodded and sighed. "My mother died too, when I was little, she died in a fire nation raid." he whispered and looked at the flower.

"Water nation lillies were her favorite, she would always have them in her hair." he said and gave a little laugh. Destiney nodded and looked at Sokka. "It hurts to lose a loved one, expecially when you have to watch them and bury them." she whispered. Sokka hugged her. She smiled and hugged him back. "I wish I could take way your pain Princess Destiney." he said. She shook her head. "No, she died honorably, and painlessly. And I wish likewise Sokka." she whispered. He let go and looked at her. She smiled and sighed. He put his hand on her face and wiped a tear away with his thumb.

"And you don't have to call me Princess Destiney, Sokka you can just call me Destiney." she whispered. He smiled and looked at her. She frowned a little and looked away. "I like you Sokka, a lot but if my father found out he would surely kill me or you or both." she whispered. Sokka sighed. This is the second time I did this with a princess. He thought. "But what about Zuko and my sister? Their together and your father doesn't..." She looked at him.

"He doesn't know Sokka." she whispered. "Yes he does Princess, and Iroh is trying to put you two together, just like lady Katara and Prince Zuko." Nikki said and walked up to them. Sokka and Destiney looked at her and Sokka smiled.

"I knew that old man was up to something." he said. Destiney smiled slightly. "So my father wouldn't care if me and Sokka saw each other?" she said. Nikki nodded and started walking. Then she stoped. "But don't tell anyone I told you that." she said, and walked out of the garden. Destiney looked at Sokka and smiled. Sokka did the same and gave her a peck on the cheek. Destiney put a hand up to her cheek and blushed.

"Thanks, but you missed." she said. He raised an eyebrow, "Missed what?" he said. She put her hands on his chin and kissed him deeply.
