Sokka, Toph and Suki are riding on an eel hound when Sokka finally says it.
"I love you two." Sokka says. "And I wouldn't choose any other people to do this mission with. With the best earth bender and the strongest warrior with me, I know we can do this."
"What about Suki?" Toph says with a grin. Suki playfully swats her. "I will say this, it's weird to hear you so positive Sokka, but maybe your optimism will actually help us out."
Suki just grabs Sokka's hand and squeezes. "I love you too Sokka. You're the best friend a girl could ask for. I'm so happy I met you."
Toph rolls her eyes. "Enough with the mushy stuff. I love you guys too, but don't tell anyone I said that."
"Of course not." Sokka says with a grin. "Wouldn't want to ruin your rock hard reputation."
Neither of the girls laugh at Sokka's joke, but she doesn't even mind.
Using a trick that shouldn't work, the trio empties out the airship and takes control. Aang shows up just on time and starts battling Ozai. And then things get complicated. Sokka comes up with the plan of crashing the airships and then things get hard. They get on top of the airship, but Suki gets separated from them. Sokka doesn't know what's going to happen next.
