A/N - PREPARE YOURSELF for a completely random and extremely confusing change!

And, so, we spent the rest of our days in the Palace in the Fire Nation. Katara and I obviously got married and had three children. As Aang had foretold, our first child, a girl named Ilah, is the Avatar and our other two children, a boy we named Aang, and you, of course, are airbenders. And we now have four little grandchildren running around the Palace (Well, three. One's an infant.)

I have ruled as Fire Lord, with Iroh's guidance, for many years. We ended the war and brought the world back into an era of peace. Now anyone can travel to and from the Fire Nation, and anywhere else that we want. With the war over, the South Pole rebuilt itself and is now just as wealthy and cultural as the North Pole once again.

I am 52 now, and quite happy. However, Katara has been looking quite homesick of late. I think it the fact that our children have been asking continuously about the South Pole, and now even our grandchildren are wondering. So, I think it is time for us to go home. Katara's home, I mean. She is anxious to get back out into the world. I can see it in her eyes. I know that she is getting quite sick of her life here, even if she likes it. So, I have decided to leave our palace in the hands of our neighbor, Jon Lee. He had always been a good friend to us, and he is a loyal Fire Nation citizen. It would not be right for an airbender like your brother, Aang, to be Fire Lord.

So, Kya, now you've heard it all. What do you think?

The 15 year old girl stares in awe at her father. She can't believe his life has been so exciting! She has always known that he'd been banished as a boy a little older than her and that he was now back and in charge...but she's never known that the entire story would end up like that! She was right to be curious about it, then. As were Ilah (now age 29) and Aang (age 24), but they've never persisted more than she has. And now she's finally been satisfied. Now that her mind has caught up to her, she breathes out in excitement.

Dad, that's the most amazing story I've ever, ever heard! she cries.

Her father chuckles a little. I'm glad. Anyway...the reason that I finally agreed to tell you the entire story was that...I had an offer for you. he says.

Kya cocks her head in confusion. What kind of offer?

Kya...you've always said that you can never find anyone that you like here in the Fire Nation. That everything's so prim and proper. Well...would you like...to come with us? Zuko asks, pausing both because he feels awkward asking it, and to build up the suspense for her. And it apparently works, because his daughter then gasps and falls back from her sitting position on the floor in surprise. The Fire Lord laughs at her excitement. Well? Would you like to go? he prods.

She pauses for a moment in thought. When she looks up, she looks quite happy with her decision. Yes.

Great! Zuko replies happily. He feels a lot better about it now that he's taking his daughter with him. He has been noticing, also, that Kya is as restless as her mother. He has heard her talking to Aang about wanting to see the world. Zuko wants to give that to his daughter. He wants to give her the world, as he does with his wife.

Sokka has seemed quite happy here, however. He had met Ty Lee when they'd gone to her circus, and had noticed how in love she was with him. After thinking it over a little, he decided to give her a chance. He'd eventually fallen in love with her, and they have been married for about 20 years now. They have a daughter named Mai who is 12, and they live in a little house near the Palace and they visit often. Zuko knows he can't take Sokka away from the life he loves. Iroh also is enjoying his life here. He pretty much spends all of his time playing Pai Sho, making and drinking tea, and flirting with old ladies. It isn't exactly Zuko's first choice for a day plan...but if Iroh likes it, that's his deal.

Anyway, the Fire Lord says to Kya, So you will go with us and see the world, my dear. But you must not tell the others. Not your grand-uncle, your siblings, or your second cousins. The only one you may talk about it is with me.

What about Mom? she asks. Zuko thinks for a moment.

You may tell her when tomorrow comes. I'm going to tell her tonight. he says. Kya nods, smiling at being involved in such an important secret.

So, a few days after that, they set off on Zuko's old ship. Katara has shed her Fire Lady robes to once again dawn her Water Tribe clothes that she has kept for all these years as a memory of her old life. But it is about to be her life again, and Katara is extremely excited. Kya, too, is anxious to see the rest of the world. Jon Lee waves farewell, wearing the robes that Zuko wore just yesterday when he crowned his neighbor Fire Lord. Zuko now weares regular Fire Nation clothes as he has now become a regular person. Those in the Fire Nation, of course, still respect him, but they no longer bow at his feet. They now bow to Jon Lee, who Zuko knows will make a fantasic Fire Lord.

Mother, Father, and Daughter rumble off with no real course ahead of them; only to see the world. Zuko stands at the bow of the ship, watching the sea ahead of them. Katara walks up next to him and looks at him. He smiles at her sweetly and kisses her. When they pull away, Katara leans her head on Zuko's shoulder. After a moment, Kya walks up on the other side of Zuko and he puts his arm around her shoulder. She smiles up at him confidently, awaiting her days ahead in wonder. Zuko smiled back, loving the fact that he can make the rest of his wife and daughter's lives the way that they want it to be. Katara also smiled, looking out at the sea, eager to finally return home.

Home.
