AtLA Modern: Year 2, Gen. 1

Chapter 3

Everyone settled in to eat, having drinks, and after a little while, things settled down. Zuko stood and stretched, glancing around. "I think Thea and I are gonna head out," he decided.

"See ya." Hugyeja waved.

Dai did as well. "Have fun fu--" She cut herself off and just snickered. Hugyeja rolled her eyes, grinning.

Toph stood herself, moving to her room as Katara and Xilah waved goodbye to Zuko. Zuko grabbed Athlea's hand, tilting his head toward the door.

Athlea smiled softly, waving. "Bye!"

"Congrats on the engagement! Don't forget our invitations! I'm the best man!" Sokka called, a big, stupid grin on his face.

"Hey! I'm the best man!" Dagi argued, despite the door closing.

Katara rolled her eyes at Dagi. "I think Zuko likes Sokka more," she teased.

Seina glanced down at her watch again. "Are you going to stay or do you want me to drive you home?" Seina asked Xilah. "Or to my place? I'm going to have to leave. I have a meeting to attend."

Aang raised his eyebrows. "Ooo, what meeting?"

"Confidential." The Avatar pouted at her response.

Xilah glanced up at Seina. "I'll go to your place." 

Dai glanced at Sokka, blue eyes bright. Immediately, a nervous look crossed his face. "Let's go see how your swords training has gotten over the summer!" she said, blue eyes bright.

"Oh... Oh! Yeah!" He looked her up and down, his eyes crossing her matching set of dark blue pants and a crop top along with a jacket. "Can you fight in that?" he asked with a soft chuckle.

Dai raised an eyebrow at Sokka. "Do I need to remind you of when I kicked your ass wearing a skirt in front of all of our friends?"

Hugyeja furrowed her brows. "Don't be rude, Dai."

Dai's expression mirrored hers. She linked her arm with Sokka, leading him to the door, her chin lifted.

Hugyeja continued and asked, "Can I watch?"

"Sorry, maybe another time. It's our thing, you know," Sokka answered with a shrug.

Dai glanced at her with narrowed eyes. "Sorry, Huggy, but swords training is mine and Sokka's thing," she said firmly. Hugyeja pressed her lips together, and Dai furrowed her brows.

Sahel pressed his lips together, leaning back in his chair. Dagi smirked. "Don't worry, Hugyeja, you can watch me instead," he said, grinning, his eyes on her.

"Oh, look," Xilah said. "Dagi couldn't snatch Dai up before Sokka so he's going for the next best thing."

Dai turned and raised an eyebrow, then winked at Dagi. "Copies never quite do their originals justice."
