I think that this chapter is probaly the weirdest or the hardest that I've written so far. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review! Oh, and if you haven't looked at the last chapter 'Think Before You Act', I added some more stuff to it so it would be longer. Where that leaves off is basically where this picks up, or at least close to it.


"Hey Sugar Queen could I talk to you for a second?" asked Toph, who had finally quit snoring and was wide-awake. Katara turned to face the blind earthbender and mumbled a 'sure'. "I know you aren't happy about leaving Princess behind but you need to get over it. Think about it for a second Sweetness. What would the nobles of the Fire Nation think if they found out that their Fire Lord was in love with a Waterbender? No offense meant but did you two ever think of that?" Katara found she only glare at her blind friend but knew what the master earthbender said was true.

"I guess not but does love not conquer all and triumph in the end? Besides, what about you and Aang? He is the Avatar after all. I thought he was suppose to love everyone equally." Anger was in Katara's tone throughout her comebacks and she was somewhat thankful they were not on the ground.

Toph must have been able to read Katara's mind because the next thing she said was, "You must have been born under a lucky star Sugar Queen but as soon as we land I would watch what you say."

Sokka quietly whispered to his sister, "I wouldn't argue with her any more if I were you. She might remember it as soon as we are on the ground and when there is no water nearby." Katara only rolled her eyes.

The rest of the trip was boring for everyone and some tension was still between Toph and Katara. Before long they reached the Earth Kingdom and Toph was back home.


"Hey Toph" said Katara as she jogged to catch up to her friend, "I know that for the past day or two we haven't exactly seen eye-to-eye on things and well I wanted to say I'm sorry."

Toph only shrugged, "Nothing to get upset about Sugar Queen. Besides no one knows how things will turn out so maybe I was wrong to make you feel worse about Princess. Now if you would excuse me I need to go find Twinkle Toes so I can goodbye to him too." And so Toph left Katara where she was to go find Aang.


"Hey Twinkle Toes wait up!" shouted Toph, earthbending herself closer to Aang.

"What now Toph? I already said goodbye." said Aang with some irritation.

"I know but I didn't say goodbye." She said this quietly and kissed him on the cheek quickly. "Bye Twinkle Toes...I guess I'll see you soon." With that she turned on her heel and started to walk off but didn't get to far before Aang stopped her. He grabbed her by the arm and turned her to face him and kissed her on the mouth before she could ask any questions. When he pulled away he was glad to see Toph had a smile on her face and was laughing. "What did I tell you Twinkle Toes? You need to face a challenge head on and it will work."

With that they parted ways and soon Sokka, Katara, Momo, and Aang were back on Appa and headed to the South Pole.


"The Avatar has returned with Sokka and Katara and !" shouted a voice in the Southern Water Tribe. A cheer came from those who heard but the loudest of all cheers came from Koda. Appa landed shortly and some people ran over to greet the group.

"Welcome back Avatar Aang!Sokka! Katara! How was your trip?" asked Hokoda hugging Sokka then Katara. Aang smiled and Sokka waved.

"It was okay, nothing new." answered Sokka.

"Good I guess..." answered Katara sounding like her old self, which earned a questioning look from Sokka and Aang.

"Good, thats good. I asume that you recieved my letter?" asked her father. He only recieved a nod from everyone. "Good. Now if you three would excuse me I would like to talk to my daughter." Everyone took a step back, leaving Katara in front of them.


"Katara, I know an arranged marriage isn't exactly what you wanted but, wether or not you believe so, it is for the better good." said Hakoda watching Katara as they walked. He saw her stiffen and stop for a second but she didn't say anything and continued to walk on next to her dad. "I know I never asked you about it or even bothered to hear your opinion on it but like I said before, it is for the better good."

"What is for the better good? The fact that I'll be stuck here the rest of my life? I'll never get to see any of my friends like Toph and Aang or even Zuko unless they come to visit me?" asked a irritated Katara.

"No thats not the reason. I just-" but before Hakoda could finish his daughter cut in, "You know you are only making this worse for me. I really don't care what your reason are for doing this to me without asking. Just forget it. I'll still go through with this marriage and act like your perfect daughter, alright?" With that she turned on her heel and walked in the other direction and mumbled something about needing to practice waterbending.


Wow, this was short. Blame my friends because they have been calling me and basically it has turned into that annoying game of phone tag. At least I don't have homework or need to study!! Oh, and I will be updating my other story shortly after I have watched the movie once or twice more. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and please review!!
