"I'll be right back." Katara started towards Toph's room.
"I wouldn't go there if I were you. I received a rather nasty bruise on my arm right here when I tried to ask what was wrong." Zuko lifted up his sleeve and showed Katara. She made a face and walked over to him pulling water out of Aang's cup that he was drinking before he went to his room, and healed the Fire Lords nasty bruise that he received from his 'little sister'. Katara turned on her heel and walked back over to Toph's room. She knocked twice and Toph let her in so easy. Zuko's mouth gapped open and he looked over to Suki who was setting the table.
"It's a girl thing. Face it, Toph's growing up, she won't always need a big brother." She shrugged and turned away.
Zuko rolled his eyes and muttered "Girls, I'll never get them, no matter how hard I try."
Toph's room
"So are you know Suki didn't literally mean that you could throw Aang into the Unagi if he bothered you again, you know that right?" Katara asked.
"Uhg! I know all right. He just… Uhg… I don't know." Toph screamed. She was laying back facing Katara, hugging a rather large pillow. "Why do I have the sudden urge to be freaking girly?!"
Katara laughed. "Don't know, want some of that chocolate Zuko gave you?"
"Yeah actually I do!" The blind bandit got to her feet and retrieved her lifetime chocolate as Aang called it. 'Stop thinking about Aang!' she screamed to herself.
"So what happened?" Katara asked and sat on the edge of Toph's bed.
Toph sighed, "Aang happened that's all."
"Come on there's more then that."
Toph sighed again and retold the whole story of what happened on Appa. "This whole predicament started with me wanting to see Aang and us doing a little bit of obvious flirting. Then I heard Zuko comment that Aang found a new crush. So now I'm confused about this whole thing now, and he is just talking to me like nothing ever happened on Appa, that he wasn't about to kiss me, that he didn't see me blush, which I didn't by the way, and he's always being followed around by those stupid fan girls!!"
"So you avoid him? Toph the poor boy is so confused. He's probably thinking 'why isn't my best friend talking to me?' You gotta give him a break he doesn't get it. I mean it took the kid until right in the middle of fighting Ozai to fugure out that I didn't like him."
Toph smiled "I guess you're right. I'll talk to him again, but what about those fan girls?"
Katara laughed "Toph there are always gonna be fan girls. He's the Avatar, plus he's gotten older and with that age he's gotten cuter and stronger, but he likes you and that's what matters now. Ok?!" Toph nodded her head and sighed.
"How long are you girls gonna take? We've already eaten and I swear I'm growing stubble just waiting for you out here. I think I might go crazy with everyone else listing to my uncle talk about the old days." Zuko yelled from the other side of the door.
"Oh shut it Sparky-butt we're done." Toph yelled as she opened the door and walked down the hall right passed him.
Zuko smirked "That's what I thought."
"Excuse me?" Toph turned around with her hand on her hips.
"Nothing." Zuko sighed with relief when she walked away.
"That's what I thought!" Toph said back. Zuko smiled and walked after her.
"Sup everyone?" Toph asked when she walked in the room.
Everyone looked at Aang. He looked at his fingers and asked "Toph why did you throw me in the Unagi?"
Toph laughed "Well when a girl says 'leave me alone and let me think or I'll throw you in the Unagi' she means it. Come on Twinkles I thought you knew me better." She smiled and ate her food that Katara gave her. That night was full of laughter and small flirting between both Aang and Toph, and Katara and Zuko. Iroh told a funny story about his eighteenth birthday party. Suki was annoyed and confused about why Katara would smirk when she always asked about what she got her as a gift. Eventually everyone went to bed and awaited the next day when the real partying would start.
The Next Morning
There was a knock at Suki's door. "Who is it?"
"Katara" a muffled voice came from the other side.
"If you don't mind me in my underwear then come right in."
"Good Morning! Happy Birthday!" Katara yelled and tacked Suki in a hug.
"Wow. Good Morning. You know, you just made my morning ten times happier." Suki laughed and pushed Katara off.
"Alright remember that great birthday present of mine that everyone is talking about?"
"Yeah!" Suki said smiling like crazy.
"Well the first part is right out the window."
Suki had a questionable look. Katara pointed to the window. Suki turned her head.
"What? I see a tree, Avatar Kyoshi, Aang and Toph, a Water Tribe ship, Zuko, a butterfly - wait a Water Tribe ship!" and with that Suki ran fast. She passed Toph and Aang.
"Guess she saw the ship" Aang said. Toph smiled and nodded. She ran passed Zuko.
"Katara you could of at least waited until she put some clothes on." Suki was still in her undergarments.
On The Ship
Hakoda walked over to his son, "Sokka is that-?"
"Suki." Sokka said to himself and smiled. The young chief took off his boots and jumped overboard.
"What is your son doing?" Bato asked.
"He's going to see his girl." Hakoda replied.
Suki ran or tried to run in the water to Sokka. She jumped into Sokka's arms kissing him as they sank under the water. When they came up Suki's arms were around his neck and legs wrapped around his waist. The water was waist deep
"I missed you so much." Sokka said once the kissing was over with, Sokka rested his forehead against hers.
"Why is it that your voice sounds different?" Sokka shrugged and kissed her again.
"Do you two need a lift?" Hakoda yelled from aboard the boat. Suki smiled and they both climbed the later. Once on board Hakoda and Bato took one look at Suki and started cracking up.
"What?" She looked down with a blush on her face "Oh. Sorry about my lack of clothing."
"I don't mind at all-Ow!" Bato hit Sokka upside the head. Suki giggled. "Come here I'll give you one of my shirts." They went in to Sokka's cabin on the boat. He handed her a shirt and laughed once she pulled it over her head. "That could pass as a dress on you."
Suki playfully smacked him "Shut it."
"Make me." Sokka grabbed her by the waist. Suki smiled and did exactly what he said. She kissed him and that shut him up for sure.
When they came to a stop and were off the boat Suki ran up to hug the giver of the best gift. Katara held up her hand and halted both her brother and Suki. She bent the water out of their clothes. "You may proceed." She opened her arms. Sokka and Suki both crashed into the sixteen year old.
"Toph!" Sokka yelled.
"Only a small hug Snoozles-." Sokka crashed into her.
"Toph you grew a little bit! You must be ecstatic!"
"Thanks. You don't look so bad your self!"
"Yeah I know-I hate you."
"It's good to have you here Snoozles." Toph put her hand on her hip.
"Yeah great." Aang rolled his eyes.
"Dang he got jelous again and it's of Sokka. This kid has like a green monster on his back or something." Suki whispered to Katara. They both giggled.
"Aren't you afraid that your boyfriend will hear you talking about him like that?"
"No, he's not even paying attention he's to busy playing with Zuko's hair." They laughed again now watching Sokka pulling on Zuko's now longer hair.
"Sokka stop!" The Fire Lord yelled.
"But Zuko it's so fluffy!" Sokka laughed back.
"Sokka!" The young chief heard a voice call him.
"Am I hearing voices?" Sokka asked everyone
"No it's Hono." Suki told her boyfriend.
"Suki why is your brother-Ow!" Sokka was punched by Suki's older brother. "What the hell was that for?!"
"You made my baby sister cry!" Hono yelled and smiled at the same time.
Sokka turned to Suki who looked away. "I'm sorry it was all Katara's idea!" Katara opened her mouth to protest.
"It's okay really. I'm so glad you're here!" Suki smiled and kissed his cheek.

Here are the answers to last chapters points system thingy! lol
1. What do you think the surprise will be? Sokka, of course.
2. Who are th characters? What are they confused about? Toph and Aang. Toph, because she's not sure about her feelings toward Aang and just being liked like that in general. Aang, because he was thrown in the Unagi by his best friend for no reason.
3. Who is the OC associated with? Hono! He's Suki's big brother, very over protective and occasionally threatns Sokka, telling him if he does anything to his baby sister he will hunt him down and hurt him. lol
