After Ty Lee made Katara and Mai promise to stop their useless fighting, she unpressure pointed them and they both stormed off. Sokka came back into the room and stared the knife on the floor.
"What happened now?" He asked.
"Katara and Mai got in a fight over Zuko." She puffed and sat down. Sokka sat down next to her.
"Did Katara tell you what they were doing...?" He asked.
"It's not what you think they were doing." She giggled. Sokka sighed in relief and glared at her and she abruptly stopped.
"So how long do you think it will be before Katara and Mai stop avoiding each other." Ty Lee shrugged.
"I don't know, Mai can take like a year to get over something. What about Katara?" Sokka pondered that question.
"Well I don't know, she usually doesn't get so worked up over things. I mean usually the only times she gets angry is when there is an issue of trust. I guess she doesn't trust Mai." Ty Lee smacked Sokka. "Ow! What was that for?"
"It's not Mai she doesn't trust you idiot! It's Zuko!" Sokka had an aha moment.
"That makes sense. But it's not my or your place to intervene she isn't the same girl anymore." He told her.
"You know Sokka you are really wise sometimes." Ty Lee looked him in the eyes. He blushed but looked back at her. Her eyes were beautiful. He was getting lost in them, as they were getting closer and closer until he realized what was happened. Just as her lips were about to touch his he leaned away. She looked hurt.
"I'm sorry I just-" He started.
"Save it Sokka." She ran away leaving a trail of tears.
"Dude you need to make up your mind." Zuko came into the room.
"Dude you need to stay out of my business." Sokka half laughed.
"Yeah well just don't hurt Ty Lee okay?" Zuko told him.
"Okay?" Zuko got up and left and Sokka closed his eyes. Before he knew it he was sleeping. He was sitting on a beach staring at the crystal clear water. Sokka felt the water calling him. He threw off his shirt and dived into the deep ocean. He made a bubble around his nose so he could breathe and he swam. All of a sudden he felt himself being thrust into the air and he hit the water with a tremendous amount of force. When he regained feel of his body he opened his eyes. Staring at him was Suki.
"HOW DARE YOU LOVE TY LEE! AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH!" Sokka looked to Suki's right and saw Ty Lee.
"Sokka you have to be happy, who ever makes you happy is who you should be with." A voice in Sokka's head said 'They can't stay under the ocean forever, you have to save one of them, you can only save one of them.' Sokka knew he had to make up his mind fast. He ran through the happy times with Suki, but there were more bad than good. Sokka ran through that one night with Ty Lee. He made his choice.
Sokka woke up and freaked out. He was in Mai's house and Suki and Ty Lee were both alive. He knew what his dream meant.
"I'll be back soon!" He yelled to the gang.
Sokka ran through the streets searching. He sought out the girl who made him happy yet miserable at the same time. He turned a corner and as fate would have it, slammed right into her.
"Sokka! What are you doing?" She asked standing up.
"I had to see you I should have given you more of an explanation before." He took her hands. "I'm sorry, but I don't love you anymore Suki." He sighed, he felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off of his shoulders.
"What?" She asked tearing up.
"Suki it's really not you, you are an amazing person, but I don't think it's fair that I lie to myself or you anymore. You need to move on with your life. You could never truly be happy being the avatar's friends wife. I know you, and I know that the Kyoshi warriors need you. Go back to them, back to where you're happy." Sokka told her. She listened in silence.
"Sokka, you have to know that I can only be happy with you, but if I can't be with you than I'll do as you wish." Suki walked away from him and he watched her until she was out of sight. As soon as she was he ran back to Mai's house. He was a free man, but not for long.
He entered the house and walked straight to Ty Lee's room. He tried opening the door but it was locked. He knocked on the door.
"'Go away Sokka." Ty Lee shouted. Sokka sighed and took water from the air and made it slip under the door and form a hand. He made it clench the door and freeze, than he made it turn to the right and the door opened.
Ty Lee's head shot up.
"I keep forgetting you can bend water." She scoffed and got up. Sokka closed the door and leaned against it taking Ty Lee in. Her hair was wavy and she had nothing but one of Mai's dresses on.
"Ty Lee, I'm sorry about before, I just couldn't betray Suki." Sokka told her.
"Yeah yeah yeah cause everything is always about her." Ty Lee picked up a brush and ripped it through her hair, ignoring the pain.
"Well that's not entirely true." He said.
"Oh yeah name somethings she doesn't have." She spat.
"Hm that's easy, beautiful curly hair, stunning brown eyes, and oh yeah me." He told her. She stared up at him. He took her face in his hands. She stared up at him. Then she closed her eyes and smiled, putting a hand over his.
"Sokka you should've started with that." He smirked and captured her lips with his. She melted into him and he was in heaven. Nothing could compare to how they felt. When they finally broke apart for air, Ty Lee smiled, but didn't open her eyes.
"You can open your eyes you know." Sokka laughed.
"I'm afraid if I do this will disappear and this will all have been a dream." She sighed.
"Ty Lee this is not a dream, I'm standing right in front of you and I won't be leaving anytime soon. Ty Lee kissed him passionately. Sokka kissed her back and they stayed like that for the rest of the night.
Katara walked to Mai's room and knocked on the door. Mai opened it and raised her eyebrows leaning against the door.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"To come in and talk." Katara told her. Mai shrugged and walked into the room.
"Mai I'm sorry I jumped on you about Zuko. I just, I don't remember much about anything and I still don't know whether to trust Zuko yet or not." Katara sighed. Mai looked at her sympathetically.
"I know, I can't imagine how hard this must be for you." Mai sat next to Katara on her bed.
"I'm being told about my life through everyone else and I can't remember a thing, and to know that Azula did this to me, when all this time I thought she was my friend. It's really upsetting." Katara teared up and started crying onto Mai's shoulder.
"Katara, we are going to get you your memory back. I've almost come up with what I want to say to the fire lord." May told her. Katara looked up. Hope was in her eyes.
"What are you going to say?" She asked.
"Something to this effect. My lord, I have come to you today with information that only you can possess and guide me with. I know the whereabouts of Avatar Aang and I seek destruction as do you. When the avatar lost his beloved Katara, he fled to the spirit world to seek answers from his ancestors. If you allowed Azula to teach me the gift I could control his mind and take away all power. He will turn human and die in this world. The avatar cycle will be broken and he, nor any other avatar will return. I know you may want Azula to do this but I am the only one who can. I have befriended the little twits friends and they know how to get into the spirit world, they have shown me the way and they would never show Azula. So please allow the honor of bearing the gift and destroying the avatar. Permanently."
"Mai, that was amazing, I was certainly convinced." Katara awed.
"Thank you Katara." Mai told her. Just then Zuko entered the room.
"Mai why don't you tell your speech to the others, I need to talk to Katara, alone." Mai got up and went to the others. Zuko shut the door and stared at Katara.
"Katara I am so sorry." He told her, falling to his knees.
"Zuko what are you talking about?" She asked.
"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have been changed. Azula hates me and she wants me dead. I thought that the reason she changed you was because you were powerful, but now I know it was only to get to me. She wanted to take away the thing that meant most to me in this world and that was you." He looked at her.
Just then Ty Lee ran into the room.
"Guys we have a problem. Azula's here."
