A/N: Okay, here it is. The last chapter! Thanks so so much for everyone who read this!

Once you got used to the black and whiteness, it wasn't so bad. It was sort of like living in an old timed movie. Aang led the group next to Jakoh, Toph and Sokka following, and Mai, Ty Lee, and the rest of the gaang. Zuko, who had just been tagging along, trying to figure this world out, walked toward Aang.

"Jakoh is taking us in an alley?" he asked, slightly skeptical. Aang nodded, presenting the fact he'd do anything to get Katara and Suki back. Zuko nodded back, then looked around him.

Mai strolled toward him, rested her head on his shoulder, as they walked the rest of the way together, arm in arm.

Ty Lee strode up next to Sokka.

"Hey, Sokka! Nice world, huh?" she said, cheery as ever.

"Not really," he replied, not in the mood for her games.

"Why not?" she asked, trying but not succeeding to make conversation.

"Uh, my girlfriend was stolen away and taken her, my sister was stolen away and taken here, this town gives me the creeps, there's no color, and to top that whole sundae off, let's just add the little cherry that reads: Mystery," Sokka replied smartly, although he couldn't hide his pleasure at making such a point in such...delicious ways.

"Oh." That was all she could say? Oh? Oh, wow.

"Hm," he replied. Match that, Ty Lee, he thought.

"Hum," she said.

"Mm."

"Um," Ty Lee uttered. Sokka exhaled in a sound of astound, shame, and no pity.

"Goodbye, for now, Sokka," Ty Lee said, her casual way of giving up.

"Even though Suki's not here right now, I'm still taken!" Sokka called, none to causually. He really was sick of her games...

--

They walked for quite a long time before finally coming to a building, still black and white, at the end of the alley.

"Eh, it kinda looks creepy," Sokka said, walking inside beside Jakoh.

"It is, believe me." That was an unfamiliar voice coming from behind them. Sokka did a three eighty, spinning on a heel and almost falling. That made his heart hurt more, it felt like it was in three. There stood Suki, her hair neat as ever, her eyes twinkling, the smile she had on her face...Well, it looked like it was saying I'm-one-step-ahead-of-you, sarcastic, and like she already accepted the fact they were there.

"SUKI!!" Sokka screamed, running over to her as fast as he could. He was almost...almost.... There! He stood in front of her, then smiled a crooked, romantic, and comedic smile. Sokka enveloped her in a huge hug, kissing her hair and cheeks and lips whenever he could.

"Are you okay?" he asked, out of breath from this entire ordeal. She nodded, tears running down her cheeks.

"I'm glad," he replied, as they kissed for the first time again on the lips. Ty Lee....Surprisingly, she had a smile on her face. Humanity was tough, but she did have enough pride to be glad for him.

--

"So, where's Katara? Now that you're settled and fine," Aang said, making sure everyone had a spot on the carpet they were sitting on inside the grayed building.

"She's-"

"Right here," came Katara's voice. Aang and Sokka rose simultaneously, but she cringed, making them both pause abruptly.

"Are you okay?" Sokka and Aang said, again simultaneously.

"Yes, I just have to take care of...something. Go back alone and Jakoh will take me back?" she suggested.

"No," they both said again.

"We stay here until-" Aang was cut off by Sokka.

"You're done with whatever," Sokka finished.

"Fine," she agreed, running out the door. Sokka turned and looked Jakoh straight in the eye. Jakoh cast an 'innocent' and confused look back.

"Did you have something to do with that?"

"Do you know where she's going?" Aang and Sokka blurted at the same time.

"I don't have anything to do with this, unless you mean she's freeing the children, which I know she is," Jakoh replied. Suki whispered to Toph, "Be right back." Then she was out the door and running so fast, Sokka only had time to shout her name.

"No," he sighed.

"She's going to help Katara free the kids," Zuko suddenly said. Everyone nodded in agreement, yet still confusion.

"So, how are we able to fix this world back to color?" Mai said.

"Color. Smiling children, and we are still kids...So, let's have fun!" Sokka said, rising and shrugging at the same time. He was happy with that, with Suki and Katara back, almost, that'd be fine!

"Yes!" Jakoh rose also.

"So, what do we usually do for fun?" Zuko's thought was interrupted by a shout.

"It's raining!" Toph shouted, feeling the rain with her feet. A smile spread across everyone's faces.

"RAIN PLAY!!" Sokka said. That's what they did in the rain. They watched the lightning, listened to the thunder, and danced and threw the rain at each other. They all rose in a swift motion, met Katara and Suki outside, and started. Started fun.

--

The whole gaang outside, crazed on the idea of fun and no more worries and work, rain, thunder, lightning, mud, well let's just say...This is their extreme measures.

"Zuko!" Mai called, and he ran over to her. They played a major role in this. They did the one thing mud made impossible. They danced. Mai's hands on Zuko's shoulders, Zuko's hands on Mai's waist, they began to ballroom dance. Mai fell already, Zuko helped her up and he fell, both of them laughing. This is pretty much how it went.

Katara and Aang, on the other hand, they ran to the inside of the white line, where at the very rim, a steady flowing river-like puddle appeared in hard rains. Katara jumped multiple times in it, Aang sat and whirled around on his butt in it. Then, they had a waterbending fight. Casual, normal, water-throwing, amazing fun. They both had their fair share of falls, dumps, wetness, and fun.

Sokka and Suki were very different. Suki, being a Keyoshi warrior, loved the idea of fighting Sokka, trying to pull his 'wolf' tail, and pestering him. She ran around him in huge circles, pulled his pony tail a counted amount of four times, and Sokka glanced back with a fun smile.

"Fine, play like that!" he said, running toward her, scooping her up in his arms, and lightly falling to the ground, both of them, in a hu-uge mud puddle. Suki, mud splattered all over face, threw her head back and laughed. The sound that made Sokka feel like he was in heaven. They were random, doing everything thinkable. Not only did they fall, they fell purposely sometimes. Just needing the feel of mud and slush.

As unbelievable as it sounds, Toph and Uncle Iroh were a pair. For the most part. Once Iroh tired out, he sat out and Toph flew around by herself. Toph like pouring the mess up makes of his tea into the mud, rolling around in it, and watching the old fat man run. No offense, but it was hilarious. He called to her "No!" when he was done, then sat in a lawn chair, tired at the year's worth of exercise he just did. Then, Toph would run around, throwing mud at everyone, as they threw back, making it a mud fight. Then she'd mess a little with Ty Lee. Make her mad, throw mud on her pinkest outfit.

Ty Lee tried sometimes to avoid the mud, but today she didn't. She was the one to open her mouth like it was snowing to drink rain. Kick some mud around, and do a billion little acrobatic tricks in the mud, seeing when she'd fall. She fell a lot, like Toph. No matter, this was fun.

This went on, the same things going on, yet random games finding their ways into the rain. Smiles-they were unlimited. Laughter-non-stop. Fun-well, this never ended.

The gaang didn't even think of the reason they were out here. To save a city. They thought of the fun, the relaxtion they had so over earned, and took it and ran. Suddenly, the gaang stopped laughing and looked at the skies. The sun appeared, the yellow sun. Clouds hung overhead, blue clouds. There clothes, the mud, the ground, all returned the muddy diry color to Ty Lee's great dismay. Color. It was returned!

Laughes erupted, and Jakoh came out from his spot next to Iroh.

"I cannot thank you enough!" he said. Just then did the gaang realize the little children running around freely, they were probably there the whole time.

"No problem. Misunderstandings happen," Aang said for everyone. The gaang nodded, more in agreement than anyone but them knew.

"Let's go back to your home before the citizens return?" Jakoh said.

And so, Jakoh led all the kids and the gaang home, thanking them immensely, the gaang returning the welcome. Since there was nothing else to say, the gaang returned to home, returned the kids to their thankful parents, and one kid was left.

"This must be the woman's child, the one who was going to dance at the assembly a few nights ago!" Katara pointed out. Everyone nodded, and walked the whole way to her house.

--

The young girl's name was Hope, and she was only six. She had reddish hair, about shoulder length. She was wearing a long pink dress, Easter-looking. Hope talked a little, telling her experience, then shushed up as they approached her mother's house.

"Kat? Is this really happening?" Hope asked Katara. She couldn't pronounce anything but Kat. Katara nodded, and picked one side of Hope up, Suki held the other. They were the main ones that saved her. She was about to be put into a jail-like place because Jakoh had thought she had a disability of not smiling, and not being happy, but he was wrong. Katara and Suki knew her better. She was always happy, brightened everyone's day a lot, and was just sad because of her separation. She helped bring color back to the world by providing hope, her name and the real meaning, and by just being herself. Without her, everyone knew the gaang may not have been able to do it. Aang knocked on the door, and the woman answered. The gaang made two rows, and Katara and Suki walked through, smiling.

"Oh, my. Thank you so much!" she said, overwhelmed. The entire gaang nodded, and Suki and 'Kat' kissed Hope on each cheek.]

"Wait! Kat, Suki! Thank you for saving me from that jail. Thank you, Avgaang for saving me," she said, solemn. Avgaang was her nickname for them.

"You're beyond welcome," Katara said, everyone saying it and bye. The mom handed Hope her pink ballerina dress, and Hope shrieked in delight.

"Will you be performing tonight?" she asked, suddenly extatic. Aang and Zuko glanced at each other, estimated their tiredness, which was beyond the F on a car.

"Yes," they said simultaneously. They'd do it. For Hope. And of course, hope.

--

"Thanks, family," Aang said. The moment prolonged, as they all stood in the audience, Aang peering over the stage at them. The show was quick, they showed tricks, made very love and hope filled speeches, and shared the great news with the world.

Then, they both called Hope up to dance. Zuko and Aang sat down with the Avgaang in the audience, watching intently.

"Thank you, Avgaang, for letting me perform. Everyone, this dance I made up all by myself, and it's called: Hope. Not for my name, but because of the last few weeks, and what hope really means," Hope said, then started her dance. There was no music, and the world seemed completely quiet.

When she danced, emotion poured through her like a water fountain. The world paused for her, life made two columns for her to walk through. Love emanicpated through everything. She made swift movements, was not nervous at all, and showed the world the true Hope. Hope was hope, and that was that.

When the finale was over and people soundlessly poured out, all dazed by her dancing, the Avgaang walked up to her.

"Your dance, called Hope? You said you meant it's called that for what hope really means. Well, that is you, Hope. You're amazing, and I know, the Avatar knows, you will change this world one day. Possibly only by dancing," Aang said, hugging her. Hope smiled deeply.

"It's true," Katara said.

"Love is true," Hope said, her mother behind her. She was amazing. Brought up well, and knowing the world so well.

"Hope is true," the gaang all said together. Then, like a fairytale ending, they made a group hug, Hope smack in the middle, both ways. Hope and hope. Forever.
