Katara didn't feel anything. She was expecting to feel warm lips against hers. She opened her eyes and saw Zuko still holding her hand; his other hand was resting on her waist. The Fire Lords face was a priceless I'm-going-to-kill-you-for-ruining-this-moment. Katara turned around and saw Iroh standing there with an id-I -interrupt-something look on his face. Now she was blushing. She backed away presents in hand and blushes still intact. "I should get back to Suki. It's almost time for dinner." Katara smiled and walked away leaving nephew and uncle to talk or shout.
"Uncle did you really have to ruin the moment?!" Zuko shouted.
"It's more fun, nephew, when you have to try harder." The Dragon of the West smiled. "Did you give her the earrings?"
"Yes." he smiled remembering the look on her face. "Uncle when did this rock get here?"
"Ah the rock! I had Miss Toph place that there when I noticed the two of you go off. Didn't want anyone to catch you. Especially Miss Suki, she learned a couple of things from Sokka, and one of them is to make fun of mushy love."
"That was not mushy uncle! It was…romantic."
Iroh had no reply. He just smiled at his nephew and lifted his eyebrow.
With Everyone Else
"Katara where have you been?" Aang asked.
"I was just out thinking." She looked around. "Where are Toph and Suki?"
"Suki is in her room. Said something about needing to think. Toph…you know I don't know where she is. I should go find her."
"You go do that. Thanks for the help." Katara mumbled and walked off.
In Suki's Room
There was a faint humming coming from the inside of the Kyoshi warrior's room, then singing. "Winter. Spring. Summer. Fall. Four seasons four loves." Then there came crying. "He really isn't coming."
"Suki?" She heard Katara knock at the other side of the door
The warrior quick dried her tears "Yeah?"
Katara opened the door. "You know my brother really was upset when he found out he couldn't come."
"Oh I know he probably was." Suki tried to smile bit it failed.
Katara sighed "…Suki"
"I'm fine Kat really."
"Then why are you acting like the old upset Zuko, before he turned good." Katara smiled when Suki let out a small laugh.
"It's just when a girl turns eighteen on Kyoshi she… you know what it's stupid, don't listen to me."
"Suki now you got me interested. Now either you tell me or I'll use my spooky water magic as Sokka calls it and make you tell me." Suki let out another laugh.
"Fine. When a girl turns eighteen she is old enough to get married, and I thought that when I visited the South Pole, when he became Chief, Sokka would ask me. Now…I don't know anymore and that sucks." Suki turned away so Katara couldn't see her wiping the sides of her eyes.
"Hey now, come on, you're turning eighteen tomorrow! We're going to party and everything will be perfect, I promise!" Katara put her hand on the older girls shoulder. "Now let's go eat. I'm starving."
Suki turned around and smiled. "Looks like someone is taking after her brother already."
The girls walked out to the living room and saw Aang sitting there with a defeated look on his face and Zuko standing against the wall trying so hard not to laugh for the thousandth time.
"What's wrong Aang?" Suki smiled, Aang sighed, and Zuko started to crack up.
"Shut up Zuko! It's not funny!" Aang yelled and walked out of the room.
"What did you do?" Suki shouted and moved to pull his ear.
"I didn't do anything. If it's anybody's fault it's Toph's." Zuko moved away.
"What happened?" Katara repeated Suki's question from earlier.
"I don't know the whole story, but, all I know is that when I was walking back from my walk I saw Aang chasing after Toph asking what her problem was and she just earth bended him into the Unagi and ran away in side."
Suki and Katara's eyes went wide. "I can't believe she earth bended him there." Suki said.
"I wonder what he did to get her that mad." Katara looked questionably at Toph's room.
