For anyone interested in what happened to Iroh and Zuko…

Iroh leaned over his unconscious nephew. Ty Lee joined him, carefully taking Zuko's wrist in her thumb and forefinger.

"He has a pulse." She said unhelpfully.

Iroh nodded. He smiled at her. "I see you've taken some self defense lessons. I'm impressed."

Ty Lee giggled. "Thanks. Mai's really improved too."

Iroh sent an affirming glance at his nephew. "So I see. Do you think you could let us go for just this time?"

Ty Lee looked thoughtful. She turned to find her friend. "Hey, Mai!" Mai turned from where she was tugging a stiletto out of a nearby tree. "Do you think we could let them slip away?" The other shrugged before turning back to the tree. Ty Lee clasped her hands. "You're welcome to take one of the lizard's too."

Iroh bowed. "Your very kind."

"It's nothing." Ty Lee glanced at the lifeless form of her other friend a few feet away. "Azula won't be awake for another few hours. I would have never have thought that that Water Tribe girl could have-"

"Don't talk about her!" Mai snapped, shoving an arrow under her sleeve. "I don't want to even think about her!"

The old firebender smiled as he threw Zuko over the back of the saddle. He bowed again. "I'll remember gift of mercy."

"Tell Zuzu hi and that we still love him!" Ty Lee chirped. Mai snorted in disbelief. The circus girl corrected herself. "Well, at least Ty Lee still does!"

"Katara, please!" The waterbender turned her head away from the earthbender. "Can't we just talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about." She growled haughtily.

Toph groaned. She turned to where Aang sat with his back to Katara. "Aang?"

"No."

"Let me explain-"

"Why should I let you?"

"Because!" Toph stamped her foot on the ground in fury. "I'm trying to apologize to you nitwits!"

"I don't want your apology!" The airbender whirled to glare at her. He made a stabbing gesture towards the waterbender. "She's at perfect liberty to make out with whoever she wants!"

Katara's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Same with you."

Sokka shuffled away, murmuring about taking a short walk as Aang exploded. "What in spirit's name does that mean?"

"You don't have to keep your little snogging lessons secret anymore." Katara stabbing gesture included Toph. "You can kiss whoever you want. See if I give a-"

The airbender sputtered. "You think I was making out with Toph?!" He whirled to an irritated Toph. "What did you tell her?"

"I've been trying to apologize. I made a mistake."

"She's been yelling at me because she thought that you and me were having some kind of secret meetings behind her back?!" Aang screamed. He had begun to put the pieces together. "I got a river dumped on my head because of you!!"

Katara was furious. "I kissed that jerk on the lips! What where you-"

"I. Don't. KNOW!" Toph roared. "I thought I could get you two together if I told Katara that kisses improved your bending." Aang blinked in surprise. "I wouldn't have to be apologizing for it right now IF YOU TWO WOULD SUCK IT UP AND TELL EACH OTHER ABOUT YOUR LITTLE CRUSH!" Toph shrieked. Aang and Katara stared at each other in horror.

"Toph, I-"

"No!"

"Look, I overreacted and I'm-"

"Shut up!" Toph snapped. "As far as I'm concerned it's not my problem anymore. Figure out your stupid matchmaking on your own!" She marched out of the clearing, into the woods.

The awkward silence in clearing was finally broken by Katara. She kept her eyes anchored on the ground, shuffling her feet in embarrassment. "Aang, I'm sorry."

The airbender stared at a rock by his boot. "I'm sorry too."

"I overreacted. I guess I was just angry at the thought that my two best friends were…"

"I should have tried to talk to you." Aang murmured. "Instead of thinking that time would fix things."

She raised her head slightly. "But it's okay now, right? We're still best friends?"

Aang looked at her in relief, nodding enthusiastically. "Most definitely!"

"Toph was just trying to help, but-"

"Yeah, it went a bit too far."

There was another awkward pause. Katara slowly walked over to where Aang stood. He rubbed his head embarrassedly. Katara smiled and toke his free hand in her own. "So,…does a kiss really improve your bending?"

He went bright red. "I dunno." He murmured. "Haven't really tried."

She leaned in, her cheeks flushed with a small smile. "It's worth a try."

Toph grinned widely from her place behind the foliage. "Well, it's about time." She muttered smugly. One of the vibrations told her that Sokka was coming back from his supposed walk.

"So did they get it figured out?" Sokka was pointedly avoiding the clearing.

"Yep." Toph said cheerfully. She raised her arms over her head and stretched. "We can go back now."

"Aang's not dead?"

"No."

"They didn't kiss did they?"

"Of course not." Toph lied. She gave him a friendly punch in the arm. "Gosh, Snoozles, you're so suspicious."

Sokka shrugged. "I'm just glad it's over." His eyes narrowed. "But Katara's getting one heck of a lecture on kissing firebenders."

"I'm gonna love to hear that." Toph said levelly, choking down a delighted smirk.

Thanks again for all your support.
