Chapter 6: Arrival

Zuko was walking back and forth by his fountain with a worried look on his face. Katara entered the small area and noticed her troubled fiancé.

"What is wrong Zuko?" Katara asked.

"Aang and the other still aren't here. Toph said they knew where he was and it wouldn't be that long. What is taking them?" he asked worriedly.

"I'm sure they are just running late. Give them a little more time," Katara said while comforting Zuko.

"You're probably right. I worry too much," Zuko chuckled.

"So I heard your sister get to come to the wedding?" asked Katara.

"Yes, she just has to be near me at all times, so I kind of made her your last bridesmaid," Zuko said with a don't kill me look on his face.

Katara just snickered, "That's fine, I needed to find one anyways."

Zuko had a surprised look on his face. He didn't think Katara would give in so easy. One of Zuko's servants came walking in. "Sir, your guests have arrived," he said

Zuko eyes widened. He ran hastily to the front of the palace. He saw Aang, Toph and Sokka walking up the stairs. A smile appeared on his face but his eyes drew to Aang and Toph's hands. Before he could even ask a question Toph interrupted hi, "I know what your going to ask Lord Hothead and the answer is yes, Aang and I are together."

Zuko sighed, "I'm just glad you guys are here. What took so long Toph?"

"We got attacked by your dad's wanna be fire benders," she said with a grin.

"You mean the Fueled Rage? I thought they were all gone after that day on Ember Island. You guys weren't seriously hurt were you?" Zuko asked.

"No, my Twinkletoes here took care of them and their leader!" Toph chuckled.

"Their leader? What was his name?" asked Zuko.

"He said his name was D. He was very powerful. But once I went all glowy he didn't stand a chance," Aang said with a smirk.

"What did you do with him?" Zuko asked worriedly.

"Well, if Toph hadn't of snapped me out of the Avatar State he would be dead right now. But we left him confined on the island we were attacked on. So no worries," Aang said.

Zuko sighed, "Well that's a relief. But I will keep my guards on watch. I don't want anything to happened to my honored guests, especially my best man." Zuko extended his hand out to Aang. Aang reached for it and shook his hand, "It would be an honor to be your best man," said Aang.

"Alright everyone, I bet your all tired so I will have my servants escort you to your rooms. And I'll have them take Appa and MoMo to the stables. Tomorrow we will discuss the wedding and anything else you need to know," said Zuko.

He turned around and chuckled, "And yes, Aang and Toph get their own room."

Both Aang and Toph lit up. They proceded up the stairs following the servants to their rooms. "Mr. Aang,, Ms. Toph, this will be your room," said the servant. "Thank you very much," said Aang as he bowed. He opened the door and walked in. "Wow this is a big room! Toph what do you thi…" Toph wallked up and slapped him in the back of the head before as she began walking into the room.

Toph giggled, "I love how stupid you are sometimes.

Aang realized what he had said and began to laugh. He closed the door and when he turned around he was pinned up against the door by Toph. She started to nibble on his neck. He let out moans of pleasure. He reached down and picked her up. He carried her to the bed. He laid her down and snuggled in right next to her. They started to kiss. Picking up exactly where they left off. They both threw their shirts on the floor and started to explore each other all over again. Aang began to remove Toph's binding's. He started to have trouble with it and Toph giggled, "Let me help you with that." She began nibbling on his neck again while undoing her bindings. When she was done she grabbed his hands and put them on her breasts. His eyes widened. They felt so much bigger. He realized why she used bindings. He started to play with her breasts trying to get her to moan. He moved down and started to twist her nipples. She grabbed onto his shoulders and started scratching down. "Are you always this rough?" Aang asked with a chuckle. She bit his neck with force this time and leaned up to his ear, "You have no idea."

A knock came at the door, "Hey Aang, its Zuko, we need to talk"

Aang sighed. Toph started chuckling, "Go on, we got all the time in the world. And anyways, it will be so much better the longer you have to wait." She gave him a kiss and kicked him out of the bed. "I'll be here waiting for you," she said with a bit of flair. Aang put his shirt back on and walked over and opened the door. Zuko was pacing back and forth, "Come walk with me Aang."

Aang and Zuko proceeded towards the royal garden, "What's on your mind Zuko, you seem tense?" asked Aang.

Zuko remained silent until they reached the garden. "Aang why are you with Toph?"

"Because I love her. Do I need any other reason?"

"Five years ago you were in love with Katara and now your with Toph and I'm marrying Katara. Doesn't this just seem odd to you?"

"Not in the least."

"But why?"

"Because after I removed all the bonds of love I had with her and talking with Roku I discovered something."

"What?"

"The world is all about balance. Fire and Water. Air and Earth. Katara and I would have never worked in the long run. And after meditating on it for awhile I realized another occurrence in my life that pointed towards Toph being the one." Zuko had a puzzled look on his face.

"On our adventures in the Earth Kingdom we crashed in a swamp and got separated. We each had visions while we there. Katara saw her mother, Sokka saw Princess Yue and I saw a girl who I did not know. We later found out that the swamp showed us people we loved and missed. And in my case, someone I was going to meet. I found out that the girl was Toph."

"And after meditating on it, I realized it was foretelling my love. The swamp knew Toph was for me."

Zuko still had a concerned look on his face, "But are you ok with me being with Katara?"

Aang nodded, "Like I said, balance."

"Well that's good to hear. Sorry to have bothered you over something like this. You can head back to bed if you like."

"Its alright Zuko you had questions you needed answered."

"But I still have one question," Aang said.

"What's that?"

"What happened to Mai?"
