"What's the matter Zu Zu?" said Azula as she backed up. "Sad to see you little palace burn down?" She hadn't noticed the fact that Aang and Katara had put out the fire. Zuko glared at Azula. Iroh was next to Zuko, helping him. Azula was getting tired, and they could tell. Ozai was fighting against the rest. Both were tiring and it was obvious. Sokka moved behind Azula. She raised her arms and Sokka caught them on the way down. She screamed and Toph encased the girl in rock. Ozai had been pulled into the ground with only his head above ground. Aang and Katara appeared next to them. "You guys missed all the fun." said Toph.
"Yeah, well, we had some of our fun." said Aang as he pointed to the palace.
"Thank you." said Mai, glancing at the half burnt palace.
"Say goodbye to your bending Azula. Tonight was the last night you will ever use them." Azula tried to break out of the rock as Aang did his work. Aang fell backwards but Katara caught him. Azula glared at the group and screamed. Toph took Ozai out of the ground but kept his hands and feet bound.
Everybody sat around the table. Food was coming and everyone was talking. Mostly telling stories and describing what had happened from their point of view. "I'm glad this is over." said Katara.
"Me too." added Ty Lee. Everyone else nodded. Food came out onto the tables and Sokka stared at it, eyes wide. "Great! The food is here!" he said excitedly.
"Calm down, Sokka. You'll get plenty of food." said Suki as she laughed. He grabbed food as soon as the platters were set onto the table.
"Uh, Aang, Sokka and Iroh, can I talk to you guys?" asked Zuko. They got up and walked out into the hallway. What's wrong?" asked Aang, looking concerned.
"I want to propose to Mai tonight but I don't know how to." explained Zuko. They looked at him.
"About time!" said Sokka. "It's been like three years. Geez."
"What's her favorite dessert?" asked Iroh, ignoring Sokka's comment.
"Fruit tarts."
"Oh! I know! Put the ring on top of the fruit tart and give it to her." said Sokka. Aang looked at Sokka like he was crazy.
"Really Sokka?" he said.
"It's a good idea." defended Sokka.
"Well, it's okay. But it'll work." whispered Zuko. "Thanks Sokka." They walked back into the dining room. The girls looked at them.
"Everything okay?" asked Mai.
"Yeah. I just needed an opinion." replied Zuko. As he walked back to his chair he bumped into the table, causing everyone to laugh. Zuko sat patiently as he waited for dessert to be brought out. He went to take some more food off a platter when his sleeve knocked over his glass, spilling water everywhere. "Dang it." he muttered as he tried to clean up the water. The group laughed as they watched him clean it up.
"Are you alright?" asked Sokka, trying to hold back the laugh that was building up inside him.
"Yeah, Zuko, are you okay?" asked Mai.
"I'm fine Mai." said Zuko with a smile. He glared at Sokka. He kept dropping food whenever he went to eat it, making a mess. He was nervous and the guys could tell. Iroh gave him sympathetic looks while Aang and Sokka were laughing at him. Zuko sighed as the desserts were brought out and the fruit tarts were set in front of him and Mai. Mai reached for one but Zuko quickly stopped him. "Here take this one." Mai looked at him weird. "It has rose petals on top." She smiled and took a bite of the tart, not realizing that the ring was on top.
"Are you trying to kill me?" coughed Mai after almost choking on the ring.
"No! I'm so sorry!" said Zuko. Mai looked at the ring.
"It's beautiful, Zuko."
"Mai, will you marry me?" asked Zuko. The girls sat there shocked and the guys smiled.
"Of course I will." said Mai. She stood up to give Zuko a hug.
"Mai?"
"Yes Zuko."
"I love you so much."
"I love you too." Zuko pulled Mai close and kissed her.
A/N: Yay! Mai and Zuko are getting married. (Sorry it was so short, the chapter) I hope you guys liked the story, I'm sorry it took so long to put up. The sequel will be called Together At Last. I'm probably not going to be posting it for awhile because there will be a lot of planning going into this. Please review and let me know what you think! Thank you to all the people who have read and review my story!
