"Well, the leaders told me to beat all five of them in Pai-Sho, but I surrendered at the middle of the fourth match. But, they did grant my request. The festival is going to be held in eight days!"

"That's great! I'm sure that Katara will be very happy for you."

"I suppose she would, but I would like to keep it a secret. Also, I plan on telling something to Katara at the festival." To his surprise, Mrs. Worheilmer laughed.

"That's the perfect time to tell her that you love her! I'm glad you are taking matters into your own hands!"

"Wait, how did you know that I wanted to tell Katara that… thing I wanted to tell her?" Aang said carefully, not wanting Katara or Sokka to know his secret just yet.

"Aang, I could tell that you liked her from when I first met you! I wasn't sure then, but when I saw Katara and spoke to her, I knew for sure. I'm just surprised that Sokka and Katara are oblivious to this matter!"

"I guess I should be surprised also…"

The talk went on for around thirty minutes, and when Mrs. Worheilmer told Aang to go to sleep, Sokka quickly returned to his room, thinking about everything that they had just said.

The next morning, Sokka woke before any of the others. He quickly snuck into town, bought a piece of meat to eat along the way, and looked for the leaders' building. As he looked, he encountered someone he thought to be gone. Yue. It seemed that she was ghostlike, but yet she seemed so…real.

"Yue?" But the person had vanished. Sokka's excitement went as quickly as it had come. His smile turned into a frown.

"I must be hallucinating… now, where is that darn building!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Enter." Sokka stepped into the leaders' room.

"Sirs, I am Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe. My sister and I travel with the Avata-

"We know who you are. But for what reason are you here?"

"Well, about the festival that you sirs are preparing to throw for my sister… can I be one of the decorators?"

"I suppose so. Katara would like something appreciative from her own brother…for once." Sokka blushed.

"Hey! That is no-

"You will meet us here tomorrow at dawn. Be here on time, we have a lot of work to do."

"Yes. Thank you."
