Chapter 4
Suki and Ty Lee were on Zuko's war balloon sitting in their shared quarters. "I can't wait to see Sokka," Suki said dreamily. "I got a message from him saying he has started his training to become the next Chief of the Southern Water Tribe."
"Awesome! He really is a cutey." Ty Lee said. "It's really cold there, are you going to be able to stand it?"
Suki gave Ty Lee a confused look for a minute, and then she realized what Ty Lee meant... Her eyes got huge and her mouth was opened in shock. At that moment, Zuko knocked twice on the open door and walked into the room.
Zuko looked at Suki and chuckled. "So you asked her if she was going to like the cold in the South Pole?" He asked Ty Lee.
Suki closed her mouth and looked at Zuko. "The first time I kissed him was when you were attacking my village. Do you really think he loves me that much?"
"Yes," Zuko and Ty Lee said together.
"I've never thought about that," Suki said. "I love Sokka so much, if he asked me I wouldn't hesitate to say 'Yes!'".
"I'm so happy for you! You're going to marry Sokka!" Ty Lee squealed, bouncing up and down.
"He hasn't even asked me yet, Ty Lee."
"I know." Ty Lee said, a little less Ty Lee-ish (more Mai-ish).
The girls hadn't noticed until now that Zuko had a tray of hot tea for them. They all sat down and started drinking it. "It is an honor to have the Fire Lord serve us tea." Suki commented.
"It is an honor to serve you, two of the 5 most beautiful women in the world." Zuko said with an impish grin.
"Who are the other 3?" Suki asked.
"Mai, of course, my mother, and Katara. My fiancé and my family." He stated mater-of-factually.
"Mai is one lucky girl. I am so happy you and Mai are getting married, you are so sweet." Ty Lee said.
"We should be in Ba Sing Se in about 3 days," Zuko started. "I hope it doesn't take long to capture Long Fang. I want to get back to Mai and my mother."
"Oh yeah!" Suki exclaimed. "This is the second time she's been to the palace since she was banished. I had almost forgotten."
"Yeah, I'm a little nervous about it. And my little sister, her name is Kiyi... I think she is about 6 or 7. My mom never told me how old she is." Zuko told them.
"Aaaaaaawwwwwwww, how sweet." Suki said.
"She must be adorable." Ty Lee said.
"She is," he said happily, "I'm going to spoil her too. I have already bought her 10 new dresses, a doll house, and a tiny tea set." He took a sip of his tea.
"She will love it all," Suki said. "Make sure you have tea with her. Give her memories of a wonderful big brother... and Fire Lord."
The next morning, Aang and Katara were summoned to the council room. Thanks to Sokka, they already knew what the Council was going to tell them... Or so they thought. (Bum bum buuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm)
"Avatar Aang, Princess Katara, we have come to a decision. First order of business, which leads to our second order of business and finally the third order of business." Hakoda informed.
Aang and Katara glanced at each other, a little confused. Sokka never said anything about a 'third order of business'. I guess there is something to be surprised about, they both thought.
"First order of business," Chief Hakoda repeated, "We sent out the 11 messages to the other suitors. My apologies Avatar, we did not see it necessary to send you a message as I already told that you were accepted as a suitor. They were also informed of whom their competition is. As of yesterday we have received 11 messages back to inform us of their choice to continue or withdraw themselves. Once again, Avatar, I apologize for not giving you that option. I figured that with how panicked and frightened you looked at the possibility of losing my daughter, you would not back out... As I was saying, we received 11 messages back. There have been 11 withdrawals. Only you, Avatar Aang, are left."
Katara squealed in excitement and jumped, hugging Aang.
"This brings us to our second order of business... Since you are Katara's only suitor, I expect you to care for her as if she were yours, which technically she is. We have come to the decision that she has permission to go with you," Her father told them.
"Thank you, Daddy! Thank you council." Katara bubbled. Aang jumped up into the air excitedly, then collected himself and thanked them with bowed.
"Now for our third order of business... Which Sokka has not yet told you." He said with a chuckle.
"Katara mind-bended me Dad, I swear... She did it with her eyes!" Sokka shrieked, making everyone laugh.
"Upon your return to the South Pole, we will be having the wedding ceremony. As Katara is already 19 and Avatar Aang is 117 almost 118."
Aang and Katara were in utter shock their mouths had gone dry. Neither said anything, they just nodded together and just stood there. After a few minutes of them standing with their mouths gaping open, Chief Hakoda stood up and hugged both of them.
"W... w... we leave in the morning." Aang hardly managed.
Aang and Katara walked out of the Council Room hand in hand, both grinning as wide as their faces. Neither of them said anything, neither of them paid any attention to where they were going. They were in total and complete shock.
"...Aang, Katara." Sokka called, but getting no response. "Aang, Katara..." still nothing, "AANG! KATARA!"
They finally heard him and stopped... good thing too, because they were one step away from the edge of the ice. "Whoa!" The three said in unison.
"Thanks Sokka," his half-dazed younger sister said. "Maybe we should sit down? Aang, before WE get stuck in an iceberg for 100 years."
"Yeah, I would hate to wait 100 more years for our wedding." Aang joked.
Sokka walked with them to a cozy little tea shop. They were seated at a table near the heat-radiating charcoal stove in the center of the shop. A girl came up and took their orders.
"Now that you two are betrothed... I... I could..." Sokka was having a hard time bringing his thoughts together into a coherent sentence. He started again after taking a deep breath, "I love Suki and I want to marry her but I don't know if she loves me like I love her I mean I really love her I REALLY REALLY REALLY love her when I think about her I get butterflies in my stomach and I feel dizzy I am miserable without her I CAN'T stand being away from her it hurts we haven't been able to see each other in a while with her being in the Fire Nation we write each other every day I want to ask her to marry me when we get to Ba Sing Se I've even made her a betrothal necklace I hope she likes it I'm really nervous" Sokka rambled, running out of air. Inhaling, he asked Aang and Katara, "So what do you think?" [I didn't put punctuations here to make it seem like Sokka's talking really fast nonstop!]
The couple just stared at him while their brains processed everything he just said. It took a couple minutes.
"Awesome!" Aang shouted. "Can I see the necklace? I already gave Katara one. Our betrothal was kind of spur-of-the-moment but I've had it for a while already." Aang blushed a bit. "When I saw it I had to get it, it's the same color as her eyes and almost as beautiful as she is."
"It would be wonderful if she says yes!" Katara exclaimed. "Maybe we could have a double wedding!"
The rest of the day passed quickly as the three of them talked animatedly about wedding plans.
The next morning, Aang, Katara and Sokka were loading up Appa and getting ready to leave. Sokka was carrying a huge bag.
"Sokka, what's in that bag? Appa may be huge but too much weight makes him tire quickly." Katara said, concerned about the gigantic lovable flying bison.
"It's seal jerky." Sokka said matter-of-factually.
"Do you really need that much?"
"Last time I brought some, Aang used it to start a fire and I went hungry... Not this time!" he exclaimed.
Aang finished airbending the bags onto Appa, while Katara was strapping everything into place. "Do we have everything we need?" Aang called up to Katara.
"And stuff we don't need." She said glaring at Sokka.
"Whaaaat?" was all Sokka said.
Aang jumped onto Appa's head "OK, bye everyone! We hope to be back soon." He called out.
"Bye!" Katara and Sokka said to everyone. Katara joined Aang on Appa's head. Sokka decided to have a snack then took a nap.
"I can't wait until we get back," Katara said jubilantly, "We will be getting married as soon as we stop The Azula Loyalists." She leaned over and kissed Aang, "I love you."
"I love you too." he replied
"I love you more!"
"I love YOU more."
"No, I love you MORE."
"I loved you first." Aang said then stuck his tongue out.
Katara giggled then kissed him. "Sokka is asleep..." The princess said with a sly grin and kissed the Avatar again. He kissed back... things started to get hot and heavy, hands wandered. Aang found this spot right behind her ear lobe that made her melt for him. There was sucking and biting; their breathing became heavy and ragged, there were quiet purrs and growls coming from them. It all felt wonderful, this continued for a while... Sokka stirred a bit and mumbled something that had "Oogie" in it and they froze. They didn't want to get in trouble with Sokka, he was still VERY overprotective of her. It took about 20 minutes to get their breathing and pulse back down to normal. It was getting harder and harder to stop.
"When we get to Ba Sing Se, I really want to go see Iroh at The Jasmine Dragon," Katara said, "I love his tea... and his wisdom. I bet he will be excited with our news."
"Yeah, he'll probably insist on serving the tea at our wedding," laughed Aang.
"Should we invite the leaders of The Order of the White Lotus?" Katara asked "I think Sokka would be happy to see Master Piandao."
"We should invite Cabbage Man to supply us with a cabbage-based vegetarian menu." Aang put in.
"It's the least we could do after all the times we ruined his cabbages," laughed Katara.
"Are we there yet?" moaned Sokka from behind them in the saddle.
"Go back to sleep, Sokka." Katara told him, and then heard snoring coming from the saddle once again. "Where are we going to stay tonight?"
"I was thinking of this island, about 3 more hours away from where we are right now. It has a beautiful waterfall and it's a great place to practice our waterbending."
"That sounds so wonderful." Katara said as she leaned over and kissed his cheek. Aang blushed. "I love that you still do that." And kissed his cheek again. She sighed laying her head in his lap. After a few minutes her breathing became slow and heavy, he could tell she had fallen asleep on him.
Aang stroked her hair as she napped, her hair was always so soft and silky, and it smelled sssooooo wonderful.
They flew in silence for a few more hours.
Katara awoke as Appa started his descend. "Hi, my love," Aang greeted as she stretched. "Did you have a nice nap?"
"How long was I asleep?" She yawned.
"Just a couple hours." He said with a smile.
"Were you the only one awake?" She asked him.
"Yeah, Sokka sleeps all the time."
"Aaawwwww, I'm sorry you should've woken me up, Sweetie."
"It was peaceful, and you are so beautiful when you sleep." He kissed her cheek.
"I love you so much." she said.
Sokka woke up as they landed. "What's for dinner, Katara?"
"We haven't even set camp up yet!" She exclaimed.
"OK, OK you don't have to jump down my throat." Sokka grumbled "girls".
"Girls?! What's that supposed to mean? Do I need to talk to Suki?" Katara warned.
"NO! Please, I'll be good." He panicked.
It took no time at all to have camp set up. "I'm going hunting." Sokka told them.
"We are going to go practice Waterbending; we will be back in a few of hours. Meet back here at camp." Katara informed Sokka.
"OK, have fun playing with magic water." Sokka called as he walked into the forest.
