"And then Koh was going after Roku with this look, thinking he'd get to steal his face, and I was like 'Ha! You lose!' But then he turned to me and..."
"And what?" Sokka pressed, leaning forward with wide, eager eyes.
"And then I woke up to Yue and Roku," Aang said, smiling at his audience (which consisted of Sokka, Suki, and Toph), revelling in their attention. "I already told you what they said."
"So, what you're saying is," Toph started, brow furrowed, "I went on a crazy adventure with you, but couldn't enjoy it because I was unconscious?"
"Basically."
"... That's stupid."
He opened his mouth to respond ("It's not stupid, just the truth. Besides, you would've been terrified had you seen – er... Been around Koh."), but stopped when he saw two approaching figures – one dressed in red, the other blue, their hands appearing to be joined. Waving, he called, "Zuko! Katara! You'll never guess what happened!"
The pair, now close enough for their faces to be recognized, jumped apart as though hit with an electric shock.
"Wh-what is it, Aang?" Katara asked, moving closer. Yue noted the guilty expression on her face with satisfaction (a sure sign that she and Zuko had made good progress).
"I was in the Spirit World and –" he cut off, brain suddenly making a connection. "Wait... Where were you guys?"
"What do you mean?" she asked, shifting her weight uncomfortably. Zuko, standing beside her now, avoided eye-contact.
"I haven't seen either of you since the start of the party. And then... just now you were..." he trailed off, pointing to the space between their hands, his eyes widening with realization.
Sokka's hand reached out to squeeze his shoulder, speaking on Yue's behalf when he said, "I'm sorry, Aang."
Author's Notes: 'Kay, so I'm really happy with how this chapter turned out, too. I just like the way things tied up for some reason.
