Chapter 2- The Wedding continued; Part 2
"Marriage is our last, but best chance to grow up." Joseph Barth
And at that instant the church doors flew open and… Jet walked in.
"Katara stop! You don't know what you're marrying into." Jet said striding to the altar.
"What are you talking about Jet? I know EXACTLY what I'm marrying."
"Um, excuse me but can you not refer to me as a 'what' cause I'm a person" Zuko said indigently but was ignored. "Katara who is this?" Zuko asked but was answered by Sokka instead.
"This is Jet, the one I told you about, the #1 jerk that hurt Katara." Sokka said while adding his 2 cents.
Zuko was flaring! Now everybody started to panic. They knew if you messed with Katara then you messed with him.
FLASHBACK
One night at a bar off campus the Gaang sat at the bar while Suki and Sokka danced, a very drunken Katara was staring at the vast sea of people. One guy just had enough beer and audacity to try something on her.
"Excuse me miss, but I'm going to have to arrest you…" The drunken man slurred.
"What for officer?" Katara slurred back sort of teetering on her seat.
"Forassault and battery… on my heart." He said as he leaned forward for a kiss but was roughly jerked back from behind.
"What do you think you're doing punk…?" Zuko said heatedly
"Hey man, she's fair game."Drunken man responded.
"No. She's not." Zuko replied as the man swung at him. All Zuko did was move to the side and kicked him – well lets just say no kids for drunkie – while he gathered the group and picked up a sleeping Katara and left.
END FLASHBACK
(Why is it that Katara is always the overly drunk one. We should send her to Alcoholic Anonymous.)
"Katara you're marrying the nephew of the man your father is at war with." Jet said pointing at Zuko.
"Be careful of who you point at…" Zuko said lighting a fire ball in his hand, "one day it might get singed off." Zuko said hotly. (Ha ha hot firebender.) Katara stepped in front of him before he could do anything.
"Jet, he hasn't done anything wrong. Now leave before I force you to." Aang stepped in and said in a deep demanding, lethal voice.
"No! I won't leave! I love Katara!" Jet yelled. There were gasps and a loud baby crying amongst the wedding audience.
"Jet you liar. You don't love me. One of your hookers probably left you cause they finally saw you as who you really are… and now, now I'm the only one left you can think of." Katara said becoming enraged. "And then you have the audacity to come and try to crash my wedding to the man I love and that loves me back with his entire being. I don't care what you think of him, I'm marrying him (Katara throws her arms down and the vase of flowers breaks and water goes everywhere.)."
"Katara calm down, ignore him. Let's just continue with the wedding." Zuko said trying to calm the rowdy waterbender.
"Jet, one last chance, Leave or we'll (points to himself, Toph, Suki and Sokka) put you out." Aang warned fiercely.
"No I'm done with chances. I'm taking a risk." Jet shouted, everyone drew their elements or weapons and Jet kind of backed off. "Fine I'll leave…" everyone relaxed. Slightly. "But it won't be quietly." Jet screamed as he threw a shruinken at Zuko.
Like a good future brother- in- law, Sokka jumped into action. He used his trusty boomerang to deflect it while he used the water Katara spilled to create an ice wall like his sister had taught him. While he did that he yelled to Zuko to take Katara to safety. Zuko nodded and pulled the master waterbender into an adjacent room to the church, which was a classroom.
Back in the church the fight was still roaring on until Aang blew Jet to who knows where. After trying to clean up a little and settle everyone they sent Sokka to get them.
In the classroom…
"Zuko… I'm really sorry about what just happened." The young bender apologized.
" Tara it's not your fault, that Jet guy is a complete dunder-head, so don't be sorry." Zuko said comfortingly.
"Ha ha. You said dunder- head, great choice of words prince, but thanks for cheering me up… I love you." Katara said with a light smile as she leaned her forehead against his.
Zuko leaned forward and kissed her tenderly on the cheek while Katara wrapped her slender arms around his neck. She was about to return the firebender's kiss when Sokka knocked on the door and popped his head in.
"EEEWWW! Get a room you two… wait on second thought stay far away from each other." Sokka said brotherly like. Katara threw her shoe at the door and told him to get out.
"Sokka, what?" Katara asked when he reappeared.
"Oh, you can come out now! Fights over and Jet is long gone." Sokka said proudly.
"Thanks 'S' we'll be right out." Zuko said.
Back in the church…
"So Snoozels are they coming? I mean Zuko's uncle is talking about tea flavors for Agni sake." Toph whined.
"Yeah, Toph there coming." Sokka replied walking over to Suki and gran gran.
"Alright." Arknook said "Is everything ok now?"
"Yes, we would like to proceed with the wedding."
"Very well. Step up to the altar." Arknook said pushing them into place." Ok. Now that that little umm intermission is over lets get back to the reason we came." Arknook said grinning.
As soon as Arknook said this, the doors of the church flew open for the second time today revealing…
OH NO!! NOT another cliffy…
