Chapter Seven: Disasters and Make-ups

Suki sat down at breakfast and was quickly bombarded with questions about the wedding.

"Are you excited?"

"Are you nervous?"

"How many people were invited?" There were so many questions that she couldn't hear all of them. She just sat quietly eating a small amount of food. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the wedding and the conversation she had overheard.

Should I tell Katara? If I do she might think I'm lying. But if I don't then when she finds out it might be too late…Why didn't I tell Zuko when I had the chance? He is the Firelord after all! Ughh I'm so stupid! Stupid, stupid!

Just then Kisho walked into the dining hall, looking very un-evil-mastermind-ish. Katara walked up to him and kissed his cheek. Her hand slipped into his and they walked to the table together.

"Hey what's up Suki, big day today." He grinned

"Yeah. Are you excited?" Her tone was icy.

"Totally. Your wedding is going to be no one will forget. I mean after Zuko's of course. Tragic what happened."

"Yes, very tragic." She stared him down. His eyes shifted away from hers. The uncomfortable silence was broken only by the sound of people chewing. When she was done she left the table hurriedly, giving Kisho one final glare.

"What's with her?" He asked through a mouthful of fruit.

"I don't know. I guess she's just nervous for the wedding. Speaking of that, have you seen Sokka lately? I need to ask him something." Katara said.

"Nope, I haven't seen him since last night."

"What was last night?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Okay?" Her eyes glittered with curiosity.

xXxXxXxXxX

Aang lay in his bed. It was going for 11:30 and he still hadn't got out. He dreaded walking downstairs and finding Kisho and Katara together. Two weeks after Katara had broken his heart he still hadn't let go of her. Because everywhere he went reminded him of her, he hadn't left his room for a week. Sokka and Zuko would bring him food and make him eat it, even if he didn't want to. The entire gang was worried about him, including Katara. His thoughts were interrupted by a quick knock on the door and Sokka saying, "Aang can I come in? I need to talk to you."

"Yeah sure, the doors open." The tall warrior slipped past the door and into the room.

"I brought you some food."

"I'm not hungry. But thanks anyway. What do you need to talk to me about?" Aang got out of bed and put on his shirt.

"Oh, right. Well…I was wondering if you are still willing to be my best man at the wedding tomorrow. It's okay if you done want to…Zuko said he'd do it if you were still depressed or whatever you are."

"Your wedding…it's tomorrow?" His grey eyes widened with surprise. With him spending all this time in his room he had completely forgotten about his best friend's wedding.

Stupid, stupid. He's my best friend. I should remember this kind of stuff!

"Yeah, the dress rehearsal is tonight and if you are going to be there you need to get fitted and stuff…" Sokka walked around. His eyes tried not to focus on the monk, but every so often they landed on him.

"Oh, um…yeah I'll do it! You are my best friend after all." A now rare smile crossed the Avatar's face.

The warrior gave his friend a quick hug and the said, "Great! Ok so the fitting is in a few hours…I'll come and find you when its time, after the fitting is the rehearsal and then the rehearsal dinner."

"Cool. So I'll see you in a few hours then?"

"Yeah. Well I gotta go tell Suki. Later!" Sokka waved goodbye and walked out the room.

I can't believe he actually agreed to it! Maybe he is finally over Katara. Thank god. It was soo awkward with him dating my sister. But they did look good together…I think Kisho is much better for her.

Sokkas footsteps echoed through the nearly empty halls. He headed towards Suki's room. When he reached her room he opened the door and directed himself to her bed.

"Suki? Are you in here?"

"I'm in the bathroom! I'll be out in a minute." She called from the small door across from the bed.

"'Kay, I'll just wait here." He flopped back onto the bed, fantasizing about the next night. He didn't know how long it was before his fiancé sashayed out of the bathroom and slid onto the edge of the bed. The Water Tribe Warrior sat up and smiled. The soon to be married couple embraced, enjoying the private moment. When they finally broke apart, breathing heavy, Sokka spoke.

"I have good news, and bad news. What do you want first?" He asked, his arm wrapped around Suki's waist, pulling her close to him.

"Umm…the good." She smiled giving him a quick kiss.

"Okay, so the good news is Aang is going to be my best man…"

"Really? That's great news! Maybe finally he will get out of this depression of his." Suki beamed. Aang was like a little brother to her and it made her hurt to see that he was hurting.

"Yeah, but it's also bad news." Sokka said his voice heavy.

"How is it bad news?"

"Because…Katara is your Maid of Honor right?"

"Yeah, so? I don't get your…oohh I see."

"Exactly. So what do we do?"

"I say we try and get them back together. I don't like Kisho at all…" Her voice trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging in the air.

"Why not? He doesn't seem all weird and crazy."

"I don't know. There is just something about him that I don't trust…like he's hiding something."

"Okkaayy? I do agree with you, on the whole get them back together thing." Sokka kissed her sweetly. When they pulled apart Suki blushed.

"Um…erm…well you better go get Aang."

"I don't want to." He kissed her again, this time with more passion. Before she could lose herself in another passionate kiss the Kiyoshi warrior pulled her mouth away from his. Their foreheads were pressed together as she said, "The fitting is in an hour."

"So? Can't I leave in half an hour? That will give him and me plenty of to get there. And you and I will have some more alone time."

"Knowing the two of you one of you is going to get distracted." Suki smiled and got up off the bed.

"Yeah, I guess so." They shared another kiss, then Sokka left the room. His thoughts were still filled with Suki when he got back to Aangs door. The young adult knocked on the wooden door and then entered, not waiting for a response. "Aang? Where are you? Aaanggg." The warrior looked around the room and found the bed empty and a note taped to the window sill.

Greeaaatttt. He probably went off flying somewhere and wont be back in time for the fitting or the rehersal dinner. Of course he chooses now! Damn him

He crossed the room and opened the note. It read:

To whoever finds this:

Sorry if I freaked you out. I just needed some air, so I went to the town for a while. Hopefully I'll be back between 4:30 or 4:445

Aang

Sokka checked his watch as he thought, What time is it now? It was four fifteen. He shrugged his shoulder and laid down on the empty bed.

Why waist a perfectly good opportunity to take a nap?

Was his last thought before he drifted off to sleep.

xXxXxXxXxX

In the village:

Aang had been walking around for about twenty minutes when he heard someone shout his name.

"Aang!"

"Huh?" He turned around trying to find the source of the shouting.

"Over here." The voice called, it was closer now.

"Whaaa-?" Then he realized who the voice belonged to, Katara. Without a second thought he walked in the opposite direction her voice was coming from.

"Oh no you don't!" She called after him. His pace quickened but he knew it was no good, she had always been a faster runner than him. In a matter of seconds she had caught up to him and grabbed his arm to make sure he didn't try to run away.

"What. Do. You. Want?" He asked through clenched teeth, it was hard enough to see her with him, but now she wanted to be friends and touch his arm like it was nothing.

"I want to talk."

Oh so now she wants to talk? Well too bad, I don't want to.

"Well…" He didn't finish his sentence hoping that she got the hint.

"Well nothing. I think, no I know that we should talk."

"Whatever." He tried to keep his voice steady, knowing that he was either on the verge of tears or an extremely childish temper tantrum.

"Please, just walk with me back to the palace ok?"

How can I say no to her?

"Whatever, its not like I have a choice." He grumbled. They walked down the main street together. Aang was careful to keep his distance from her.

What if she wants to talk about feelings or girly stuff? I can't take that! It's too much too soon. Why am I acting like this? I shouldn't be mad at her…she isn't the one who ran away, or almost got himself killed. Ugh! Stupid, stupid.

"Aang, listen, I'm really really sorry about last week."

Sure. Whatever. I don't care.

"I guess I didn't think things through." Her blue eyes were wide with sympathy.

"Obviously."

Uh-oh! I wasn't supposed to say that…I don't care!

"Hm?"

"I said obviously." His voice was steady and firm. The air-bender didn't want to let it on that he was still deeply and madly in love with her.

"Seriously Aang, when someone is trying to apologize the least you could do is let them before you go and tear them down!" Katara huffed.

"Whatever. Are you done talking?"

Why am I being such an ass?

"No. So just shut up and listen okay?" Aang gave no reply. "Good. Like I was saying I'm really sorry about last week and I wish I hadn't said some of those things. I just got really mad and let everything go without thinking about it."

Please, please, pleeeaaseee forgive me! I really mean it! Aang I miss you so much!

Katara thought those things but didn't dare say them out loud with the fear that Aang didn't feel that way about her. For the past week all she could think about was him, every second of every minute, even when she was Kisho her thoughts compared him to Aang.

"Yeah. I'm sorry too. I got out of control. Could you every forgive me?"

Did he really just say that?

"So we both forgive each other?"

"I guess so."

"Awesome…so friends?" She asked, her voice hopeful.

Maybe more…?

"Yeah." He smiled at her.

Finally! This whole being pissed at each other thing is over! Now I can get Kisho to leave then I can maybe win her back.

xXxXxXxXxX

After the Rehearsal Dinner:

"Hey." Sokka walked up to his soon-to-be bride and slipped his arm around her waist.

"Hi. What's up? You look worried."

"Its…nothing." He lied badly.

Suki rolled her eyes and spoke, "Really? Because you seem like something is bothering you. Is it Aang and Katara?"

"No, actually its not them…its Kisho."

"Kisho?"

What does he know? Did he see Kisho doing whatever it is I saw him doing at the beach earlier?

"Yeah. He seems distant lately. Do you think something happened with him and Katara?"

"No, I would know if something like that happened."

"Then what do you think it is?"

Lie, tell him anything but the truth. It would break him to find out.

"Umm…I don't know. I'll ask him later."

XxXxXxXx

Toph was lurking in the corner of the room, parties weren't really her thing so she just stood there and listened. After Sokka walked away from Suki another man, Kisho, walked up to her. Their words were to soft for her to hear, but from the vibrations Suki was giving off the earth-bender could tell that they were having some sort of argument or confrontation.

XxXxXxXxXx

Around two-thirty in the morning

A loud whisper echoed around the dark room.

"Katara, Katara, are you awake still?"

"Suki? Is that you?"

"Yeah. Can I talk to you?"

"Sure I guess so. What is it?"

"Its about…umm…Kisho."

"What about him? Is he sick? Does he need help? Oh no! Did the resistance get him?" The normally calm water-bender bolted out of bed.

"No, no he's fine! It is about the resistance though…"

"I don't get it…what does Kisho have to do with the resistance?"

"Never mind. I shouldn't have come. Sorry for waking you."

"Suki get over here right now."

"No, its nothing."

"No. Its not. We both know that. So answer my question."

"What was your question?" Suki feigned forgetfulness. Katara saw right through that however.

"What does Kish have to do with the resistance?"

"He..um.." Her voice faltered.

"What? Stop messing with my head and answer the question!" The bender was getting very impatient.

"Heispartofit,."* The words tumbled out of her mouth quickly.

"Huh? I didn't understand a word you just said."

"Kisho. He's part of the resistance. Possibly one of the leaders." Her shoulders sagged with relief as the truth finally came out.

"What? You are sooo lying! Is this some kind of sick joke? Cause I'm not laughing. It's not funny." Katara was outraged at the accusation that her best friend was making.

Say it isn't so! Please! I don't want him to be one of them. He just can't be! He's so pure and innocent…

"No I'm dead serious. I'm so sorry!"

"What would make you say something like that?"

"I saw him talking to someone in the shadows this morning. He said something about raids, and then attacking the palace once he got closer to Aang."

"You are lying! It can't be!"

"I wish I was…but its true."

"Leave. Now. I don't want to talk to you."

"But-"

"Go!" She screamed and slammed the door behind Suki.

No! No, no, no! NO! This can't be happening. Suki is lying. Its all some sort of joke and tomorrow she'll tell me that she was just kidding. Damn why now? I mean couldn't it wait? I just got Aang back and now this? Why? Why is this happening? What if Suki is serious? What if Kisho is really part of the resistance? This is a disaster!

Tears streamed down her face.

XxXxXxXxX

Suki:

She stared at the closed door for a second; stunned that Katara would ever do something like that. The darkness surrounded her.

These hallways are creepy at night…I better get back to my room quickly. Damn, I put out my torch before I went into her room! Where is a fire-bender when you need them?

Her footsteps echoed through the hallways, making them even creepier. Several times the warrior stopped, thinking that she heard something.

"Anyone there? It's not funny!" Her words hung in the air with no response. Suki quickened her pace.

The sooner I get back to my room the better.

Something in the shadows moved, entering the small light that was let in by the moon.

"Wh-who is that?" Her voice cracked with fear. No one answered, but the figure still stood there, like a phantom.

"Seriously, who is that?" The muscles in her body tensed up as the shadow moved toward her.

"I'm warning you, don't mess with me or you are going to have hell to pay." Suddenly a hand came up and grabbed her face, covering it with a cloth soaked in some sort of foul smelling liquid. The last thing she heard before passing out was, "Nice job. Take her away."
