As promised here is the second chapter. This one is more of a Sokka/Suki chapter.

The next day not long before lunchtime…
Sokka was doing some sword fighting drills and he saw Suki return from her daily training. He went to her.
"Hey Suki! Got a second?"
"Sure! What's up Sokka?", she answered.
Aang was carving something for Katara, which he would give her after the end of the war, and he heard Sokka. He got up quickly, put his work in his pocket and went to Sokka.
"Sorry to interrupt you guys, but can I talk to you for a minute Sokka? Don't worry Suki, I wont be long.", Aang said.
"Sure. I'll be right back Suki.", Sokka answered.
They went to a corner far from everyone else.
"So, Aang. What's up?"
"Someone was eavesdropping on you when you were talking to Princess Yue and No. It's not me."
"How did you know? Who was it?"
"Roku told me, but that's all I know. I won't tell you who it is and don't try to figure out who it is. She or he will have to confess. I don't know how much that person heard but it was not that long before you went to bed"
"Okay, but why are you telling me this?"
"Because knowing you and knowing the Princess, I can tell pretty much what you were talking about and why you want to talk to Suki. Don't worry. My lips are sealed." A couple of second passed and he continued: "So Katara should've packed a nice lunch for you two by now. Go take a shower and you can go take you picnic on a place that Appa knows very well because I went often with monk Gyatso before my Airbending training."
"Won't the Fire Nation be there?"
"Don't worry. I scouted the place early this morning and it's perfectly safe."
Sokka went to the shower. Aang went to see Suki.
"Sorry, but your conversation with Sokka will have to wait. Why don't you go take a shower? You have a date planned with Sokka in about an hour."
"Is it that he wanted to talk me about?"
"No. Katara and I planned it. I already sent Sokka to the shower you should do the same."
"Okay. Thanks Aang."
With that she went to the women's shower.
About 45 minutes later they were ready.
While giving Sokka the basket, Katara said: "I've packed some of your favourite things."
"Thanks sis!"
Aang came up to them, he whispered something to Appa who responded with a small groan. And said: "I know it shouldn't take that long but, you got till tomorrow morning or I'll come search for you."
"Okay Aang.", Suki said.
"Enjoy the ride, you won't need to steer him. Appa! Yip! Yip!"
When they were gone, Katara said: "So Aang. What were you doing this morning?"
"Just some personal project."
"What kind of project?"
"You'll know in due time Katara. In due time."
Once Appa landed after 30 minutes of flying, they saw an astonishing view. There was a small lake with clear blue water, some big tall trees all around it and a small waterfall.
Suki was the first one to break the silence: "Wow! Aang sure know how to pick a great picnic spot."
"Yeah!"
During the picnic they talked about this and that. Sokka told her how he got his sword and his adventure in the Fire Nation.
After that they relaxed a little enjoying the sun and the view.
Sokka began to talk: "Hey, Suki!"
"Yes, Sokka."
"I think I never told you about what happened in the North Pole, didn't I?"
"No. You never told me. The only time we talked about it you weren't very precise."
"I fell in love with a girl, but not any girl, the princess of the Northern Water Tribe."
"What happened to her?"
"She was already engaged. It was an arranged marriage with a selfish warrior who only thought of the advantages he would gain by marrying her. When I learned that her soon-to-be husband fell in the water, I thought that I still have my chances. But something terrible happened."
He took a couple of second to remember exactly what happened.
Flashback:
Sokka said: "No! You don't have to do that!"
"It's my duty Sokka!", Yue answered while getting up.
Sokka grabbed her by the hand and said: "I won't let you! Your father told me to protect you."
"I have to do this.", she let go of his hand.
End of flashback (A/N: It's part of ep. 120)
Sokka continued: "An admiral, Zhao was his name, killed the moon spirit. Since the spirit gave some of its life to Yue she gave it back. She became the moon spirit."
"I'm so sorry Sokka!"
" She paid me a visit last night. She told me that she wanted me to be happy with someone who already given me her heart. I'm proud to have your heart Suki! Please take mine."
They leaned at each other and lost themselves in a passionate kiss. When they broke the kiss, Suki said: "I gladly accept it"
They went swimming later that afternoon and after drying in the sun, they went back to the Western Airtemple. They arrived at the temple, it was almost midnight.

Please review. I know I left a little opening for a kataang story. For those who want me to write it, I need at least 3 reviewer to ask me.
