Anya's POV:
We follow the Earth King back to the palace where he says that he some important information for us.

Earth King: So, my men have just informed me that Long Fang has been intercepting letters to all of you.

Toph: Long Fang stole our letters from home?  That's just sad.

Earth King: Aang, this was attached to your bisons horn.

Aang reads the letter and smiles.

Aang: There's a Guru who wants to speak with me about controlling the Avatar State!

Sokka: What's a Guru, some sort of poisonous blowfish?

Aang: He's a spiritual guide!

Earth King: Toph.

The king hands the letter to Toph who then hands it to Katara.

Katara: It's from your mom, she's in the city, and she wants to see you!

Earth King: Anya.

The Earth King hands me a scroll, upon opening it I see it is a letter from my father and mother,

My Dearest Anya,
We hope that your travels with the Avatar are going well and that you keeping safe.  After you and your friends left your father and some of the other men from our tribe decided to help the war effort and set sail.  Meanwhile the rest of us here have rebuilt the wall around our beautiful tribe and are sending help wherever we can, I do hope this reaches you.  We love you so much and hope to be reunited with you again soon.

Love
   Mother

I close the scroll and smile.  Sokka walks over to me and puts his arm around my shoulder.

Sokka: Who was it from?

Anya: My mother, she says that my father has joined the war, I'm so proud of him but I'm also scared.

Sokka: It will be ok, I've met your father, he is a brave and smart man.

I smile.

Katara: Is there anything for me and Sokka?

Earth King: I'm afraid not.

Sokka: Oh....

I hug Sokka.

Earth King: However there is an intelligence report that might interest you.

The siblings bend over the scroll.

Katara: There are a small fleet of water tribe ships at camelion bay.

Sokka: What!?  That could be dad!

Katara: Led by Hakoda-IT IS DAD!

Sokka: Wait, it says that he is joined by Arnook!  Isn't that your dad!?

I smile and hug Sokka, we both get to see our dads!

Katara: This is all such big news!  Where should we start first?

Sokka: I hate to say it but I think we might have to slit up.

Aang: Split up?  But we just got the family back together, now you want to split up?

Sokka: I don't like it anymore then you do but I think it's the only way.  But wait, someone has to stay here and talk to General Fong about the plan, I guess that's me.

Katara: No Sokka, you go to Camillon bay and see dad, I'll stay here.

Anya: No wait, I should stay here, as much as I want to see my dad I just saw him, Katara you haven't seen your dad in years.

Katara: No Anya you need to see your father.

Sokka: Besides id like you to meet my dad.

I nod and we make our way into the beach to say goodbye.

Sokka: Alright!  This will be fun!  Guys trip!

Anya: And what am I a duck!?

Sokka: You know what I mean!

Anya: I really don't.

Katara: Well, all three of you stay safe and give dad a hug for me, come on Toph let's head back to the house.

Aang, Sokka and I wave goodbye and then we fly our way to the bay.

*******************************************
A few hours later we land at the bay.

Aang: Wow Sokka you haven't seen your dad in four years you must be so excited!

I look over at my boyfriend and see that he looks like he's gunna throw up.

Sokka: I know I should be, but right now I just feel sick to my stomach.

Anya: I'm the one who should be nervous!  What if your dad doesn't approve of me!?

Sokka: Are you kidding!?  He's gunna love you!  And besides I'm the one who has to clear your dad!

Aang: I think it's gunna go great, they are both gunna be so happy to see you guys!

Sokka: So what about you?  Are you nervous to meet this Guru?

Aang: Not at all, I'm ready to master the Avatar State, I'll do whatever it takes.

Sokka and I slide off of Appa and wave goodbye to Aang as he flies off.  Sokka and I walk into camp looking for any sign of our fathers.  We each see a few familiar faces.

Men: Hey Sokka!  How have you been!?  Who's this lovely lady!?

Then they point him towards a tent, meanwhile some men from my tribe show me to a circle of men on the beach all looking at a map.

Arnook: Anya?

Anya: Hi Dad.

We both run to each other and hug and cry.

Arnook: What are you doing here!?

Anya: I came with Sokka, his father Chief Hakoda.

Arnook: Of course!

Dad and I walk over to Hakodas tent and see him and Sokka hugging, they both look up and smile.

Sokka: Dad, this is Anya.

I shake his hand.

Anya: It's an honor to meet you Chief Hakoda.

Hakoda: The honor is all mine, any woman who can steal my sons heart is something to behold.

I blush and Sokka and I both look at him confused.

Sokka: Wait, how did you know?

Hakoda: The way you were just telling me about her, that's not the way a man talks about a friend.

Then dad walks up to Sokka.

Arnook: You are dating my daughter?

Sokka: Yes sir.

Sokka and I both take deep breaths, we can't tell if my dad is happy or not.

Then, dad slaps Sokka on the shoulder and smiles.

Arnook: What wonderful news!

We all smile and laugh, I am so relieved, this day could have gone so bad.
