Katara and Toph have a Girl's Day without Sokka and she pretends not to be insulted. She ends up asking Joo Dee to help her dress more like the citizens of the city. The woman seems excited that Sokka's interested in conforming to their culture, and Sokka lets her think that.

The real reason is because Sokka wants to explore the city without worrying too much about spying eyes. She hopes that if she looks more like the people there that she might have the chance to blend in.

Sokka decides to go explore the busier part of the city. Though there seemed like there were some threats there, Sokka thinks that she can handle it. She brought along a fan she got from Suki, just in case. And if that doesn't work, there might be a Dai Li spy who can save her.

Sokka thinks she sees a familiar face and she quickly tries to formulate a plan. She undoes her fishtail braid that her hair is almost always in and lets it fall loose. She sweeps a large part in the front over her face. She looks down at her clothes, happy that she let Joo Dee give her a bit of a makeover. It's not a perfect disguise, but she hopes it works.

Then she strolls into the Pao Family Tea House and gets a seat. She picks up her menu and looks over at the two fire benders. She orders a pastry and some tea, and then uses her fan to cover the majority of her face, . Once she finishes as if by some stroke of luck Zuko is the one to come over to collect her money.

"Thank you for the tea." She says in a voice a little higher then her own. "What's your name?"

"My name's Lee." Zuko lies. "My uncle and I just moved here."

"Hi Lee, my name's Suki." She can use more than just the Kyoshi warrior's fan. "Thank you and … "The plan she's been thinking up comes to fruition. "Well, I was wondering if you would like to go out sometime."

"He'd love too!" says Zuko's uncle.

"Great." Sokka stands. "I'll meet you in front of the shop at sundown."

Sokka rushes back to the home after that and demands Katara and Toph do her makeup and make her look different before she goes to meet Zuko. They help her re-do her hair in the side swooped style that covers some of her face. She doesn't explain what they are doing it for, and covers it up with the idea of giving Sokka a makeover since they didn't invite her on the Girl's Day. Once they finish, Sokka figures out the rest of the details of her plan.

When Sokka meets him later she has to hold in a laugh over the way he looks with his hair combed. "Well, look at you." Sokka says with a grin. "You look so cute." She says sarcastically.

"Yeah, and you look quite beautiful with all that make up on your face." Zuko shoots back.

Sokka rolls her eyes. "So, uh… what do you want to do?"

"You're the one who invited me out Suki, I thought you'd have an idea." They end up wandering around until they find some place to eat.

Sokka tries to make conversation to get information out of him, and it almost seems like he's doing the same to her, but at the same time, it could just be the way he treats his dates. They seem to find ways to evade each other's questions. Zuko makes some comment about her eating habits, so Sokka asks him a direct question about him and his uncle. When he comes up with a lie, Sokka forces him to validate it by juggling. The results are pretty hilarious.

"So do you have any siblings?" Sokka asks, running out of conversation topics.

"I have a younger sister. She's kind of intense." Zuko admits.

"I know what you mean." For a moment Sokka can't figure out if she's talking about Azula or Katara. Zuko looks at her expecting more of an answer. "I have a younger sister too. Only about a year between us. But she's so good at everything she does, it gets hard not to compare myself to her." Sokka pauses. "And when I do, it just makes me feel bad about myself." Zuko is still starring at her with something unreadable in his eyes. Sokka realizes that maybe she said too much. "You know what, I've had a great time, but I think I have to go."

"Wait, So.. Suki!" Zuko reaches out to grab Sokka's arm and in a moment of panic she hits him. She doesn't even stop to see what he does.

In fact, she doesn't stop running until she's back at their current living area.
