p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"The second portal ride was a little smoother but not by much. Katara landed on some ice, skinning her elbow hard. She slowly got up and felt a burning sensation on her elbow; she looked down and saw it was instantly healing. The thought of her instantly healing frightened her a little bit but also intrigued her. She had no time to play around with healing herself, she had confessions to make./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"The Waterbender took a quick look around and she figured out that she was at the Northern Water Tribe, located at the North Pole. This is where she became a Master Waterbender and the siege took place. She wondered why she was back at the North Pole; she hadn't been here in decades even after The War ended./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"Her thoughts seemed to drift and she was almost daydreaming at this point. She thought of Sokka trying to fish; the memory instantly created a soft smile upon her face. The same smile that her and Aang shared while laughed uproariously at Sokka's fishing skills. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"She was awoken from her daydreams when a snowball hit her in the face, knocking her down. She got up, furiously looking around as to who hit her with the snowball. She was quickly met with another snowball this time hitting the back of her head. She turned around and was met with Sokka's huge grin./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""Ha! Finally got you sis!" Sokka said with glee/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"He bent down and she noticed that he had more definition to his body even though he looked sixteen again./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""Has Sokka been working out and why is he here at the North Pole" Katara wondered./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"She went to ask him but he stopped her, growing a grim complexion./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""I know why you are here, and you were about to ask the same thing to me" Sokka said, his face still resembling a grim complexion on it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""I'm here at The North Pole to hear your confession" he said a little coldly./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""Let's go somewhere, where I can hear your confession"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"Sokka turned and start walking towards an old tavern that looked dilapidated, boards covering the windows and even some on the door./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"Sokka barged right in, swinging the door open with ease. Katara remarked to herself, "Sokka must've been in here before."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"He took a seat at an old chair that looked like it was ready to break any minute. Katara froze as the old tavern looked familiar, where had she seen it before? The look on her face must've told Sokka everything as he quietly says, "This is the tavern where we went to find June to help sniff out Aang when he disappeared before fighting Ozai. "/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"It dawned on the Waterbender and she had to fight for every ounce of control in her body not to break down crying./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"She wobbled over to where Sokka was sitting and slumped into the chair across from him. Sokka had this dark look on his face, almost as if he was anticipating something nasty or hurtful to be said to him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"Katara looked up at Sokka and told him, "Sokka, I have missed you so much, the day you passed was a day that my heart was broken, almost shattered." "You helped me through so much pain and heartache, and there were plenty of times that you and I butted heads and both of us being stubborn about something or other but I always loved you, my brother."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"The Waterbender continued saying, "My confession is that I've always looked up to you, Sokka." "I have always thought that you were intelligent and you got all of us out of some crazy situations with your off the wall thinking"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""That makes two of us Katara" Sokka said abruptly. "I looked up to who you are and your never compromising attitude even in the face of certain death or danger" "At first I did think that Waterbending or any kind of bending was stupid and magic but over time, I saw that in the right hands, it can become a powerful tool to help with anyone's problems."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""Thank You Sokka" Katara said with a warm smile/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""No, Thank You Katara, for everything you did to me, to the rest of our friends and to the world" Sokka kindly said, making Katara break down and cry for the first time in a long time. She sobbed, wondering where everyone else could be and why haven't they shown their faces yet./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"Sokka got up from the chair, placed an arm around his sister and gave her a big hug. He told Katara that everything will be okay, everyone else is waiting for her but there are more confessions to make./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"They heard a howling sound coming from outside when suddenly the door busted open. In walked The Avatar State, ready to transport Katara away./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"Katara turned to her brother and said "Take care of yourself big brother"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""Take care of yourself sis, I'll see you soon" Sokka said with a smile and wave./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"Katara turned and got up from her seat, moving towards The Avatar State, she turned back and ran to give Sokka one last big hug. He smiled and hugged her back. She turns and walked towards It again, making sure to not turn back and see the smile on her brothers face./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;""Ready to go" It said coldly/span/p
