Suki got up from table and commotion, stepping outside. She was hoping Sokka would come back inside himself, but once again, It was up to her to go get him like always. But what she saw made her wonder if coming out here was a good idea after all. Right before her eyes, she saw Toph snuggling up against Sokka. And not one moment later, she had earned a kiss on the forehead from him. This was her greatest fear coming true. Toph and Sokka. Sokka and Toph. The thought in her head made her even angrier. She wanted to hit him, scream, or even hit Toph. But she had a different idea in mind. As she quietly shuffled her way back into the diner, she knew that she had to get back at Sokka. Somehow...

"Where exactly did Suki go?" Zuko asked. Aang and Katara shrugged. "Why does everyone keep leaving? This is supposed to be a day for us to be together! Do you all really wanna go home that bad?" Aang asked. Katara put her hand on Aang's shoulder. "It's not that, maybe they've just something to do!" 

Zuko shook his head. "I'm fine with being here Aang, but I can't speak for the rest of them. It probably would've been better if you didn't lie about what the real reason for coming here was." Katara sat up and glared daggers at Zuko, while Aang slumped in his seat. "If lying was the only way to get you guys here, then I don't disagree with Aang's actions one bit! We are supposed to be friends and family! It shouldn't be this hard to get you all here!" Then Katara got an idea. "Aang, sweetie, could you go find Toph, Suki, Sokka? Tell them we're headed out." Aang sighed. "Chances are, they'll all probably just go home, Katara..." 

"Just go find them, I've got a plan, sweetie." Aang nodded, and stood up to go find the rest of his friends. Katara slammed 80 Yuans on the table, not even taking a look at the bill. Zuko noticed how hurriedly she was moving. "Katara, what's this all about? What's the 'plan'?" The water tribe girl smirked playfully at him. "You'll find out just like the rest of them."

Aang came back minutes later with a tear stained Toph, a blushing Sokka, and a fuming Suki. "Uh, what happened?" Zuko asked. Toph looked up at Zuko hesitantly. "Nothing. Where are we going next?" She replied, changing the subject. Katara ignored her and gestured everyone back to Appa. "Helloooo? Katara?" Sokka said. They followed her outside and saw her standing in front of the giant bison. "Suki, do you know any good places to shop for formal wear?" Suki gave her a confused look. "Well, yeah, but why?" Katara giggled. "Everyone hop on, because we are going dancing!"

~TIME SKIP TO DRESS SHOP~

Aang squirmed in his suit, surrounded by mirrors and a chandelier over his head."I-I don't know about his Katara, I feel kinda..off." Katara rolled her eyes, patting him on the shoulder. "Take it like a man, sweetie." Someone burst through the door of the fitting room."Sis, I feel like a penguin!" Sokka exclaimed. "Katara, this is outrageous, I look-" 

"You look nice Sokka." Toph interrupted. Sokka was about to protest, when he turned and saw what Toph had on.

A/N: I would draw the dress, but I'm not that good at clothes, so here's a picture:

(eh good enough)

Sokka felt his face heat up wayyyyy too much. All he could mutter was, "Wow." Toph frowned. "I can feel you staring, Sokka. Keep it up and I'll make fun of you right back." Sokka was silent for a few seconds, then it clicked. "Oh no, I'm not making fun of you! I think you look nice, too!" Toph smiled, thanking him. Katara and Aang were still there. "You guys, please knock before you bust in here and start flirting." Aang said, shaking his head. "Put a sock in it, twinkle-toes!" Toph said, her face red hot with embarrassment. Katara took a step closer towards Toph, trying to get a better look at her. "You should take your hair down, or at least get a new hair band." 

"Excuse me? I'd rather kiss a carpet!" Toph replied. Or me... Sokka thought. "How about you just get a new hair piece then, you've had that one for years!" Katara said. "Hey Sokka, why don't you take Toph somewhere in the store to look for a new hair piece???" She said dramatically. Toph squinted skeptically at Katara. What are you trying to pull, Sugar Queen?

Sokka smiled, oblivious to what his sister was doing. "Sure! I'm sure they've got something in here to suit you, Toph!" She shrugged, making her way through the door. "Let us know when you find something!" Aang called. Katara turned back to Aang when she heard shuffling somewhere in the room. "Aang, do you hear that?" Aang nodded. He stood up, trying to listen for the sound again. "Is someone else in here?" He asked. The shuffling got louder. Aang gently gestured Katara to get behind him, putting his hands up for defense. He followed the shuffling noise, but also heard a voice, leading to another room. "Stay behind me..." He whispered. In one swift kick, the door flew open. "Whose there?" Aang called. He stopped in his tracks when he saw someone in the room next to them. Looking stunned, he closed the door and stayed silent, mouth hung open. "Sweetie, what was it?" Aang turned to Katara, trying to get the words out of his mouth. "I...I just saw Suki...kiss someone...That wasn't Sokka..." Katara gasped. With full force, she kicked the door back open. "SUKI!!!"
