One day later. :) I love this sequel it is so much fun to write. :) I hope it is that much fun to read.

I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter. It is kind of weird.

"Hey, Katara."

I walked into her room to leave for the festival.

"Hey," she replied back.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah, just let me grab my-"

She stopped talking and screeched.

"What? WHAT?" I yelled searching around the room.

"When were you going to tell me?"

"Tell you what?" She rushed over to me and examined my necklace.

Oh.

"Well, uh tonight. That's why I didn't tell you what the festival is about. Zuko was going to announce it there."

Toph came rushing in a little late.

"What now, Sugarqueen?"

"Stop calling me that! And look what-" I shot her a look.

"Nothing." I tried to cover for her, Toph shrugged and left."You already found out. I can't let everyone."

She hugged me.

"Next time I am the first to know."

I raised an eyebrow.

"Next time? I am only getting married once." She rolled her eyes.

"I mean, if you have some other life changing secret."

"Okay, you will be the first to know anything else important. But we really, really have to go. Unless you want to miss him telling everyone else."

"Alright! Let's go!" She dragged me out of the room.

I was standing with Zuko behind the curtain to the balcony, that overlooked the festival.

"You will be fine. There is nobody out there who can affect my decision." I reassured Zuko.

"Okay. I just..."

He took a deep breath. "I know. It will be fine. Go out there and put on a happy face, we are getting married."

He smiled.

"You're right."

Zuko signaled to the guard and I heard the yelling of the announcer.

"Friends and family, people of the Fire-nation! I present to you our Lord Zuko and his girlfriend, Lulu!"

The dark red curtain pulled open and we stepped out. People cheered and screamed until the guard silenced them.

There were so many people. I couldn't look directly into the crowd. I could feel his hands start to sweat, I wanted to give him an encouraging squeeze but I don't think I could move.

I focused on the red festival lanterns and tried to calm down.

We needed to say something, Zuko saw it too.

"I-I have an announcement to make." He said, nervously.

"Uh, Lulu, my hand." He whispered to me.

I hadn't realized it but I was squeezing his hand really hard. His fingers were turning purple. I quickly released his hand.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

He sighed and started again. I focused on Katara. She was squeezing Aang's hand and had a very excited look on her face.

I couldn't focus on Toph or Suki, Sokka any of them. Or Aang, especially him. He never approved of our relationship. I just needed to breath.

"Me and Lulu. I-We…I proposed! We are getting married!" He held up my hand.

It was over, everything was out in the open.

I forced myself to look at Aang, he actually looked happy. Zuko wrapped his arm around me and I leaned on him. I looked at all my friends. There was chatter among all the firenation citizens.

Iroh looked as proud as ever and had tears in his eyes. I swallowed and we made our goodbyes.

Now, I had to actually face them.

I walked down the stairs with Zuko and was immediately hit in the shoulder.

"Ow!" I complained.

Toph appeared in front of me. "When were you going to tell me?" She questioned.

I shrugged, rubbing my arm.

"Now." Zuko chuckled.

"You too, Hothead." He rolled his eyes.

"When I told the rest of you guys."

Just then Suki ran and gave me a hug.

"I am so happy for you!" She exclaimed, of course her and Sokka were already married.

Sokka came over and started talking to Zuko. I'm not sure what he said but it started with "Way to go, Man!"

Katara came over and smiled, she was way toohappy that she knew first. Then Aang came over.

"I'm glad."

He hugged me. I was surprised.

"I don't...What?" I stuttered out.

He laughed. "I was only upset when Zuko began to date you because I knew about his past relationships. If you can even call them that." Zuko shot him a look, "But by him proposing it means he truly does love you and plans to be with you."

I smiled.

"Of course I plan to be with her! You should know that by now."

Zuko started to get angry, I grabbed his hand and he calmed.

"I know. I was wrong to think differently." Aang smiled.

"Now that we are passed that let's-AH!" Zuko stopped mid sentence because Iroh ran into him and hugged him.

"I am so proud of you!" He exclaimed, "You are finally getting married! My nephew!"

I tried to hold back a chuckle, he struggled against him.

'Help me' he mouthed. I busted out laughing and shook my head.

Iroh finally let go and Zuko sighed. He came over and hugged me but not as tight.

"You are perfect for Zuko." I smiled.

Toph clapped her hands, "Ew, Mushy stuff. Let's go to the festival!"

We all started walking back to the party.

hat do you think of the second chapter? Come on, people. I need your thoughts about it.
