Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Okay peoples, I want you to know that I love you, and your reviews, and your advice, and your challenges. I just have to say one thing.


NO more Challenges please. PLEASE. -bangs head on desk-

I still have 7 more to finish and I feel like it's becoming a job and crap. I LOVE your challenges but I just need a tiny bit of break from it. Please. Just give me a week or two where I don't have to worry about challenges, okay? Because, I might take Jesse Lin's advice, I might just start selecting challenges. Instead of doing every single one. I apologize, but I simply do not have the time or brain cells to finish every single one. Don't worry, this doesn't mean I'm quitting on the drabbles. Just means, I'm taking a short break from the challenges. That's all.

I hope you'll understand.

Not a challenge.

So many years had passed.

How long now? Three? Four years?

Four long terrible years.

The Fire Lord stood in the entry of his palace, with a tall posture and pride in his every step he took. As his regal robes flowed around him, he suddenly didn't feel so confident. A feeling in the pit of his stomach trembled with worry, and he nervously shifted his weight from one foot to the other. The others were coming right now, for a reunion.

There she was.

She appeared through the door, even more beautiful and grown as ever. Her eyes sparkled in the Fire Nation sun light, as she walked down the halls with grace. This girl, woman, he corrected himself, was a warrior and has stared death in the face. But now she walked down this hall like her same old self with that same old precious smile.

"Katara..." He whispered under his breath, smiling at her name.

Except. Something was different.

She was holding a...child. In her arms.

A small child of only a few years, with the near same dark skin. As the small little girl was carried by Katara, she laid asleep as the waterbender grew closer. Finally she was just a few steps in front of him, and they both gave a silent bow. With a nervous and cracking voice, he asked politely what was on his mind.

"Hello, Katara. Is this your...child? Where is your h-husband? I don't see him, or know who he is for the matter..." His voice trailed off as he peeked over her shoulder only to see her brother appear.

Katara gave a small laugh, shaking her head.

"What? Me? Of course not! I'm not married, and I certainly don't have a child."

Sokka stood next to her, and with a smile grabbed the small child from her arms. Suki with a pregnant belly, held his arm. Sokka looked up at Zuko, giving him a respectful bow. The Fire Lord returned it, and raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"This is Yue, my daughter, Zuko." Sokka held his daughter as he spoke these words with pride to Zuko, and his eyes seemed to trail off somewhere else when he spoke of that name. Softly beside him, Suki added,

"We named her Yue, for the moon."

Sokka looked at his wife, and smiled happily, before squeezing his wife's hand. Sokka turned to the Fire Lord nodding, "We can find the room. Suki needs to some rest. Aang and Toph won't be here till tomorrow, they said."

Zuko nodded, giving them a wave as they were led by a guard to their rooms. He turned his eyes back to Katara, as she smiled at him.

"It's been so long Katara..."

"I know Fire Lord Zuko...it has.."

"Don't call me that. You don't have to."

A smile appeared on her lips as she stepped closer to him, with a small smirk, she replied teasingly to him,

"Okay, Lord Zuzu..."

Everyone's head turned in the palace, as they heard something strange ring through the halls. Every guard nearly jumped in shock when they heard, for rumors have said that this sound could only meet trouble. The cooks, servants, and guards looked at each other in confusion as they tried to figure out what was going on.

The sound of laughter the Fire Lord's laughter echoed through the halls as he and Katara held each other for support.

And suddenly, there was silence due to the fact their lips were terribly busy.
