"Dear Aang,
"Please read this aloud to the group. It is with great discomfort that I need to share this news with you. When I just recently arrived home I received the most devastating news. My sister was released from prison with out my knowing or my guards for that matter. It is with even more horror that Mai was the accomplice. I do not know where they are now nor do I know what they attempt to do, but I believe they will be going to Ty Lee. I am so sorry to have to ask this from all of you but, if you all could do me a favor and stay in the Fire Nation until this matter is sorted out. It would make me feel a lot better knowing that you all are safe and guarded.
Your Friend,
Zuko
The whole room was silent. Everyone's eye's were widened in disbelief. They all thought Mai was good now. What was her problem. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts due to the silence.
"I can't believe this! When we finally get this whole war thing out of the picture and everything is perfect Azula just has to go screw it up!" Sokka thought to himself.
"No. No. NO! Everything was going great! Why does this always have to happen?" Aang screamed in his head.
"Fire Nation! That means Zuko! Stop Katara you're supposed to be mad about the whole Azula and Mai deal. Grr…stay focused. But I get to see Zuko again and so soon too!" Katara had her inner conversation.
"Why does this have to happen. Now we are all gonna have to fly on Appa. I'm already starting to get sick to my stomach. Damn it all anyway!! Worst is Sokka doesn't even know!" Suki yelled to herself, then groaned out loud.
Toph placed a hand on Suki's back as she kept to her own thoughts. "Crap…this sucks."
"Well I guess we should go pack." Toph suggested aloud.
A round of yeahs and alrights went around. Gradually everyone got up and went to their respective rooms to go pack. Sokka was the last one sitting there just staring off into space still thinking of a plan.
"You okay?" Toph asked Suki.
"Yeah, just a little sick."
"Have you told him yet?"
"No."
"Suki…"
"I know, I know, it's just a little hard to bring up the subject. I haven't even fully gotten through the news. Just give me time. Okay?" Suki tried to smile and failed terribly.
"Okay. See ya in a few."
Time passed slowly for the Gaang as they all packed their belongings for the trip. They didn't even know how long they were staying. They just knew that they would be there until things were settled again.
"Hey Suki." Sokka walked into the room and saw his fiancée sitting on the bed with her head in her hands and crying. "Suki. Sweetheart. What's wrong?" Sokka ran up to her and wiped her tears with his hands. "It's just Azula. We've beaten her before. It's nothing to cry about. Shh…" Sokka hugged her but she cried even more this time. "Hey…hey…tell me what's wrong." Suki shook her head in his chest. "I won't make fun of you."
"It's not…that…" She let out another sob "You'll b…be mad at m…me"
"No…no. I would never be mad at you." Sokka lifted Suki's face so she could look into his eyes. He wiped a few more tears and said. "Please tell me, Suki. You're scaring me."
Suki nodded her head. "I…I'm…p-"
"You guys ready yet. Everyone else is on Appa." Aang asked.
Suki looked up at Sokka "You know what I'll tell you later, okay?"
"Alright. You sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I'll be fine. I was just having a moment." She faked a smile.
One Week Later…
"Zuko!" Katara yelled as she jumped from Appa's saddle.
"Katara." The Fire Lord smiled as he hugged her. Everyone else jumped off but Toph and Suki.
"Alright Princess, you coming?" Toph brought a pillar of earth up so she could lower them down. "Hey Sparky." Toph gave Zuko a punch on the arm once she was settled. "It's been a whole month. I can't believe you've missed me that much." The Blind Bandit smiled. Zuko laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
Suki just stood there in the back holding her self up by holding on to Aang's shoulder. "You okay?" He whispered.
"No I feel like I'm-" Suki swallowed "Like I'm gonna-" The Kyoshi leader ran to the bushes by the palace and released the contents of her stomach.
"Suki, are you alright!" Sokka ran up to her, he held her hair out of her face.
"Motion sickness." Suki said as an excuse.
Toph turned in her direction and glared under her bangs. "Yeah I get it from being on Appa for a long amount of time."
"Oh." Everyone said and nodded their heads.
Iroh walked up and held out his hand for Suki to take. "I have some perfect ginger tea that will settle that stomach of yours." He led her to his study and told one of the servants to fetch the tea for him and his guest.

So I was just going to give points to anyone that commented, because that last question was hard. But no one did. So please comment, you never know when I might do something like this again.
