So you read about my crack pairing, Jet x Song, huh? Yeah, that is so the new smex pairing. I love it. I'm actually thinking about writing a super short story on it. Like 3 chapters or something. XD Think I should do it? Anyways, here's a short one for you. No, not my mini-rowboat/dingy/socalledship, Jetong, but Zutara.

"This food is delicious!"

Sokka continued to stuff his face with the assorted foods of the Fire Nation, occasionally taking a sip of the wine in front of him.

Katara rolled her eyes, wiping her mouth with the beautiful napkin. Zuko, with a golden crown on his head, took a bite into his dinner roll. Across from him, on the other side of the head of the table, Aang was also enjoying his dinner. Toph and Iroh sat, eating their food quietly.

Iroh finally spoke, a smile on his old lips.

"I have to tell you children, I feel as though you all are really my children. As if you were really my family."

Toph smiled, "Us too, Ir-Uncle Iroh." At this he smiled and the blind bandit raised her drink for a toast.

Every member of the table smiled with them, raising their drinks as well.

"To family!"

In the Fire Nation palace, their voices echoed through the once empty halls, but now were filled with peace and happiness.

The Avatar, putting down his cup, spoke out to the group.

"You know, at least the war is over. Every nation is now brother and sister in this small world."

Everyone's head nodded, eating the rest of the food on their plates. Katara, sitting between Iroh and Zuko, leaned over and lightly touched Iroh's arm.

"Just so you know, Iroh. Your like the Uncle I never had." His lips formed a happy smile and he was pleased with the idea of having such a wonderful niece. Zuko smiled at this also, a tiny smile, but still it was a smile.

Aang, looking up from his glass of water (Katara didn't allow him to have wine, no matter how much he begged) and spoke out to everyone in a little too loud cheery voice.

"Ha! Before the war, the only way he could have been your uncle is if you married Zuko!"

Silence was his answer.

Even though his words were meant as a joke, it wasn't taken as one.

He gave a yelp as Toph kicked him under the table, and he was left with his mouth gaping open as he realized what he had said. Silence had replaced the smiles.

Until Sokka started laughing his head off.

Bringing the glass of wine to his lips, he laughed heartily.

"I must have drank too much wine if I heard you correctly! It'd be a nightmare if that happened."

Shaking his head as he laughed under his breath, placing the wine back on the table. Silence came from everyone, as Sokka muttered scattered words under his breath. From across the table, Zuko sent Katara a look. Awkwardly, he shifted nervously in his seat.

Katara did the same.

"Uh Sokka, I have to tell you something."

Zuko spoke with a hushed voice, and Sokka raised a worried eyebrow at him. Waiting for whatever he was saying, he picked up his glass of wine. The alcohol burned the insides of his mouth, and now waiting for the Fire Lord's answer was burning the entire room.

Finally, his blue eyes widened in realization.

Katara revealed a blue and red necklace from her neck, that had been hiding behind her collar.

She displayed it on the table for Sokka to see, the Fire Nation symbol in plain sight.

Her eyes did not look at him.

And for some reason Aunt Wu came to his mind.

Fortunes. Future. Love...life? Powerful benders...and betrothal necklaces that didn't belong to his mother...

The glass of wine in his hands,dropped onto the hard floor. Crashing and shattering into millions of pieces, the red wine became a pool of liquid near his feet. Suddenly, he wished he didn't eat so much food. His stomach felt like dropping to the floor as well.

And now the words marriages and stupid fire benders came to mind.

"Sokka, I hate to say it, but your worst nightmare is about to come true. With permission from you, of course."
