For the next few days, Sokka woke every morning before every else did, and came back when everyone was asleep. He had convinced Katara and Aang not to go near the center of the village, and they should practice waterbending. Although it wasn't real convincing, they took Sokka's word. Only Mrs. Worheilmer knew about Sokka's plan, because he had explained it to her and told her to keep Katara and Aang out. Mrs. Worheilmer agreed.
On the first day, Sokka had worked his butt off, making the necessary adjustments, and he had been given 10 people to work with on timing. "Lee, when I throw the signal, release the fireworks. Baynun, when you hear my signal, release the banner. Blork, Qtuya, Hayro, you guys are in charge of the most complicated thing: earthbending. This is what you will do when I give the signal…" (Authors note, I will not tell this part of the plan.) "alright? I know its complicated, geez. Wayjya and Tryton, your job right now is to make sure that Katara and Aang don't come near this part of town. Do whatever it takes to keep them away from us until opening night. Also, make sure that they do NOT confess anything deep or mushy to each other until the festival. Wayjya, from midnight to lunch, and Tryton from lunch to midnight. Your guys' job is the most important one. The rest of you are in charge of music and entertainment. But make sure to not attract them too much, don't make it too appealing."
"Wait, what you're saying is we have to show entertainment… but not too entertaining?"
"That's what I told you."
"Alright, the signal that I am going to give you guys is…" Sokka paused for a moment, thinking. "Ok, the signal is, get your hands off my sister. Got it?" Everyone nodded.
The days after that were just working and working and working.
Operation SOKKA part two complete almost complete.

Aang and Katara were again practicing waterbending for the fourth day in a row. Aang had nearly mastered waterbending, and today they were going to have a duel.
"Ready your stance, Aang. Your arm's are too far apart." Katara reminded him. That always reminded Aang of the day when they had shared their first kiss; or at least, his.
Katara shot multiple water icicles at Aang, who stopped it easily with waterbending. Aang countered with making an ice bridge from her to Katara. He slid on it and headed toward Katara, throwing multiple blades of ice at her as he approached. Katara dove under the water, and melted the bridge, making Aang lose his balance. She then used her finishing move, the Strike of the Eel, just when Aang had come down. It wrapped around him, and froze his fingers, making him unable to waterbend. His body slowly covered with ice, and he soon fell on the water like a log, floating just above the surface.
"Aang, you need to be more prepared, be on the defensive while also on the offensive."
"I know, I know, Katara, it's just so hard." Katara smiled, and with a flick of her hand, the ice block melted.
"You'll get it soon."

That night, Katara still slept in Aang's room, to make sure he's ok.
Aang had debated over the last few days whether to tell Katara before the festival or during the festival. If you tell her now, then the festival would be a lot more fun.
But the festival seems like a better time to tell her.
Aang, just tell her now, and you wont have that feeling in your gut when you go to the festival, and it would be less enjoyable.
Alright, alright.
"Katara, there's something that I want to tell you." Katara turned around from doing her things, and looked at Aang, who was sitting on the side of the bed.
"Well, Katara, over the years I- OWWW!" Aang rubbed his head, which had just been hit by a small rock. Katara went to Aang's side, and looked around, confused.
"Where could it have come from? There's no one in here but us."
"I don't know, but I feel dizzy. I'm going to sleep." Aang turned and laid on the bed, still rubbing his bruise.
"Good night, Aang."
"Good night, Katara."

"So, Wayjya, how did it go?" Wayjya rubbed her hand on her eyes, wanting to go to sleep right after she had reported to her 'boss'.
"Pretty good. I had a feeling that tonight he was going to try to tell Katara something, and there was that moment in the air, so I earthbended a hole in the house before they came in. Luckily they didn't notice. I threw a rock at Aang when he had tried to tell Katara, and it worked. They went to sleep. And now I want to sleep." Wayjya added with another yawn.
"Alright, go to sleep. Be here by eleven thirty, to resume your post."
Sokka, you're a genius.
Thank you, thank you.
It was 5 days until the festival. So much to do, so little time.
