Taming of the Wolf

Wedding Blues
-
"Do you, Prince Jet, take Princess Katara to your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
The wedding was grand to say the least. Placed outside in the Earth Kingdom courtyard everything was dressed with blues and greens. Katara and Jet were already standing at the altar. Sokka and Zuko stood behind Jet his 'best-men' Aang was suspiciously missing. Toph was sitting in the crowd, being not even asked to be a bridesmaid so Suki, Ty Lee, Mai and Azula all stood behind Katara.
"And do you, Princess Katara, take Prince Jet to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"If anybody objects to this joining of these two people then speak now or forever hold your peace."
"Hold on."
"Aang! No wait…" Katara looked around at her bridesmaids. "That wasn't Aang. That was one of you."
The entire crowd had gone silent.
"Suki?"
"No, I'm into Zuko."
"Ty Lee?"
"No, I like the Fire Nation Prince."
"Mai…nevermind."
"Ouch."
"Azula?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"Yes, it was I. I object to these blah, blah, blah." Azula dropped her flowers and walked over to Jet. "Kiss me."
He did. The crowd 'Ohhed' and Katara stood there open-mouthed.
"Well screw this place." Said Zuko. "Toph, I now believe is your chance."
"Thanks Princess." She said, punching him in the shoulder. Toph stood up and walked over to Sokka, who was looking like he was about to strangle something. "C'mon Sokka, let's just go over here for a minute. Let Katara sort them out."
"Toph," Sokka sat down at a bench, turning his back on her, "I really don't want to hear what you have to say.
In the background Katara could be heard yelling. "I know Sokka, but I have to talk to you."
"Well make it quick," he snapped, "I'm going to have a few angry sister to comfort in a few minutes."
"I'll take as long as it takes to convince you." Toph took the seat beside him, perched on the edge, letting her toes drag across the ground. "Sokka, I know what I did was not exactly noble, hell I was only in it for the money."
"You're not doing a good job convincing me."
"That's because you didn't let me finish. I was only in it for the money, until I started spending time with you. You were funny, goofy and didn't treat me like I blind. You treated me like I could function on my own. I've really liked the past few weeks and I'd hate to lose you just because of something stupid I did for Twinkle Toes and Princess. So I guess what I'm trying to do is apologize."
There was another silence, filled with Katara's waterbending coming from the altar and Azula's lightningbending. "I guess I accept your apology."
"Really?"
"But," he held up a single finger, "You must be my slave and my first command as your master is that you must call me Lord Sokka, Ruler and Commander of Southern Water Tribe The Great."
"Counteroffer: How bout I don't bury you fifty feet in the ground?"
"Counteroffer accepted."
The End
A/N
Yes abrupt ending, but I am so done with this story. It was fun to but it was really OOC and below my normal quality.
