The fan and sword clinked together loudly. Sokka brought back his sword and attempted to slice Suki across the stomach, only to be blocked by her metal fan.
"Ugh!" Sokka whined, "You are impossible to beat!" Sokka sheathed his sword and looked toward his girlfriend. She whipped her fans together with an audible clunk.
"That's why you love me," Suki smiled at him and wiped a hand across her sweaty forehead.
"You know it!" Sokka couldn't get over it. Suki was amazing. She was beautiful, a great warrior, and a girl too. She was constantly reminding him of the last one.
Suki laughed and walked over to give her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek. They had been sparing all day and both were exhausted.
Sokka and Suki started back to the house, talking about the next day's plans. It was about sunset on Kyoshi Island.
As soon as the couple got to the house, they were laying on the couch, fast asleep. Sokka sprawled out and Suki with her head on his chest. Boy, does vacation take a lot out of you!
Her wrists were sore and bloody. Her head was throbbing and dizzy. Her stomach growled and roared in ache for food. Toph felt like she was in hell.
It had only been about a day since her confrontation with Azula but, Toph remember every word. Bait was what she was, the damsel in distress.
Toph felt weak and helpless. She always hated this and now, she had no choice. She had no means of bending in this wooden cage. Truly blind and now her "disability" was now really a disability.
Her stomach contorted painfully. Azula STILL hadn't sent any of her goons to feed her and it's been like 24 hours. She had never gone this long without eating.
Toph felt like she could eat anything, no matter how much she hated it. Spirits, what she would do for a steak. Her mouth watered.
Her time in prison was NOT going to be fun.
Zuko opened his good eyes. The smell of the sea and wildflowers filled his nose. This was one of the things he loved about Ember Island.
He felt a slight shift next to him and looked down. There was Mai, sunlight gleaming off her raven black hair. Zuko smiled, this was his favorite way to wake up.
Sunlight slowly drifting in through the window and his beautiful girlfriend sleeping curled up next to him.
Zuko yawned and wrapped his arms tighter around Mai. A sigh came from Mai as she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Good morning," She yawned and sat up. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Let's go out for once. We always eat in! Plus you deserve something special." Zuko told her jumping out of bed. Since the war had ended, Zuko seemed to have more and more energy. It was like the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders. And he loved every minute of it.
Katara woke with a start. Cool sweat covered her body and her heart beat at an accelerated rate. She felt dizzy and confused.
Her dream, no nightmare, was so real. Katara's stomach churned at the thought. Her head pounded painfully.
There was only one person to comfort her, to make everything better. She jumped off her bed and started down the hallway. A few rooms down the sleeping airbender snored.
Katara stopped short. What if he doesn't want to see me? Will he be mad I came to him? Katara pushed those thoughts out of her head immediately. Aang won't mind, hopefully.
The door creaked and the boy's eyes shot open. Aang had always been a light sleeper and normally didn't have a problem waking up. He rubbed his eyes, trying to keep the sleep out of them.
"Aang, are you awake?" Katara's voice came from the slightly opened door. It sounded frightened and timid. Aang could tell instantly something was wrong.
"Yeah, come in," he sat up and stretched as the door swung out and was met with a hug a few seconds later. Aang could feel her tremble. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arms protectively around her.
"Katara, what's wrong?" Aang asked into her hair. Katara pulled away and looked into his stormy grey eyes.
"I had the most awful nightmare! You, Sokka, Toph, Suki, and Zuko were all on fire, you guys were surrounded with flames! And you were screaming! Screaming in agony. And you know where I was? Sitting in a pool of water! I was doing nothing! Just sitting there! I could have saved you, but instead I sat in that pool of water and laughed at you! I watched everyone but you burn to ash, but you were still there, in so, so much pain. Then you told me you hated me and that I betrayed you. You told me how you would like to come over and rip my heart out. But I didn't care and I just kept laughing while you slowly burned." When Katara finished tears were streamed down her face and sobs consumed her body.
Aang pulled her back into the hug, tears running down his own face. He couldn't stand to see her in this much pain. It felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest.
"Katara, listen to me it was only a dream. It's ok! We're safe now! You don't have to worry." Aang rocked her back and forth trying to calm the weeping girl.
Slowly her sobs subsided and Aang wiped away the rest of her tears. Katara felt so safe in his arms. She didn't want it to end.
"Aang?"
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Can I stay with you tonight?" Katara looked up at him.
"Of course." They settled down, Katara with her head on his chest, Aang's arms wrapped around her waist.
She fell into a deep sleep, but instead of nightmares, she had pleasant dreams of her future with Aang.
Azula looked up from the map. Zhao and a few of the most trusted Dai Li agents stood before her.
"What are you proposing?" Azula asked the men.
One of the agents spoke up, "We propose that first we take the Kyoshi Warrior and the Water Tribe peasant at Kyoshi Island, then take on the Fire Lord and his girlfriend at Ember Island. Finally, when their vacation is over, we wait for the Avatar to realize his friends are missing, then we attack."
"Princess Azula, I think this plan will work. The Avatar will be in a emotional state when he finds his friends missing. It will be easier to capture him then." Zhao spoke up.
"Yes, I must agree it is a good plan, but there is one piece of the puzzle missing." Azula stated, her eyes going cold, or colder.
"And what may that be?" Zhao asked.
"The other Water Tribe peasant." Azula spat. "If we capture her, the Avatar will fall apart completely, then we will have our revenge!" She smiled evilly. Their plan was perfect.
