A/N: Almost the end! I've learned that some of the things I put in to separate scenes doesn't actually work when I publish… so I'm going to try to make it obvious for you. Thanks for sticking with me, and I would love it if you all reviewed! Bonus points to whoever solves the equation.

Zuko's Pov:

It was the Friday night before the Winter Party, and Aang and I were walking to Katara's house to help with some decorating and finalize our plan to get Toph and Sokka together. I was lost in my own thoughts about Mai when Aang suddenly said,

"Zuko, I need your help." Although he was just a goofy kid, Aang knew how to take care of himself.

"What is Aang?"

"Well,", he said, fumbling with the cuff of his jacket, "There's this girl, and I really like her, but I don't think she likes me. What can I do to get her to see how I feel about her?"

"In my many experiences with the ladies," I couldn't help but smile at my obvious lie, "I have found some methods that work the best. Katara won't be able to resist you."

"How did you…" Aang started. I cut him off.

"Everyone knows Aang."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.

At Katara's house, we finalized the plan into three major steps. First, we would stage an intervention before the actual party started to distance Suki from Sokka. Second, we would make Toph "accidentally" spill some soda on Sokka, and force her to help him clean it. Finally, we would leave Toph and Sokka alone in a room and then they would realize their love for each other. I had no faith in this plan, but I had learned not to contradict Katara long ago. We were helping Katara set up for the party, when Aang decided to test out the moves I showed him.

"So Katara, you really don't like Suki do you" he asked her.

"No, she's just so mean!" Katara answered.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I think you look beautiful when you hate the world."

"… Aang, I don't hate the world, she just bugs me.. but.. uh.. thanks?" Katara said, rather flustered.

After stopping to give me a despaired look, Aang tried again. We were both upstairs, hanging decorations from Katara's banister. She was down stairs tiding up the living room.

"Katara quick! Simplify this equation! 9x-7i 3(3x-7u)!"

"What Aang? I don't have time for math! Plus that has two variable in it, which one should I solve for?

"Actually Katara, i is not a variable, it represents the negative root 1, which does not exist, so mathematicians-"

"What are you doing?" I asked as I put a hand over his mouth before he could say anything else.

"I'm using pick up lines!"

"Not for math, no one likes math!"

"Well what do I do now?"

In response, I shoved him down the stairs.

"Ahhhh!" Aang yelled as he rolled downstairs before landing right in front of Katara's feet.

"Aang are you alright? What hurts?"

"Everything…. Will you kiss it all to make me feel better?" he asked, eyes hopeful.

"I think you should do it Katara" I offered from upstairs.

"You guys are disgusting!" she said before getting back to work.

It took Aang a minute to realize what he had said wrong. "I didn't mean it like that!"

Just then, Sokka walked through the door.

"Oh hey guys. I see you continue to hang around my sister, unsupervised." He stated.

"Shut up Sokka. You spend every minute you can with Suki." Katara retorted.

"So, I'm older! I can do what I want!"

"We're the same age." I calmly said.

Sokka glared at me. "Well actually, I think I spend more time with Zuko's MOM than Suki."

"My mom's dead." I said. This caused Sokka to turn very red and mumble an apology under his breath.

"Anyways guys…" Aang came to the rescue, "What we're trying to say Sokka, is that you should spend less time with Suki, and more time with your friends. When was the last time you talked to Toph?" Sokka didn't answer for a while. He looked angry, and then he started yelling.

"It's my life, I can do whatever I want with it!" He slammed the door shut as he left.

"Phase one in progress", I said.
