For all of you who said my next update would be some odd months away…HA! I made it my personal mission to prove you wrong, only four days this time. I'm sure you don't mind. But, for future notice don't expect an update in the same week anymore. I'm going to aim for a once a week updating schedule.

And another quick tidbit, while writing this arc (I'm currently about two chapters ahead of this one) I found that it's very Mai-centric, so if you're a Mai fan, be extra happy.

Disclaimer: We all know the deal.

Chapter Fourteen: Masquerade

The entire palace was abuzz with Zuko and Mai's wedding. It was to be set in the late fall, only about a month away, and both Zuko and Mai couldn't be happier.

"Not that this isn't great, but isn't it a little odd seeing Zuko and Mai, this happy?" Aang asked Sokka when they had come out of a meeting. Aang decided to sit for Zuko since him and Mai were taking care of some arrangements and Sokka sat in for Aang.

"It is kind of weird, but I'm proud of Zuko for going through with all of this in first place. Plus, marriage usually makes people pretty peppy."

"How many weddings have you been to?" Aang asked, he had been to tons of weddings, but Sokka's situation may have been different.

"Enough, it seemed everyone was getting married when I was about nine or ten, and by the time all the men went off to war they all had children." Aang nodded slowly before the two of them ran into Zuko and Mai.

"How'd the meeting go?" Zuko asked.

"It was informative, though I am going to have to give you the briefing, though, a lot seems to be going on with the rebellion over near the north of here."

"Of course," Zuko sighed.

"Hey, well hopefully all this will take care of itself and nothing serious happens." Sokka shrugged and all four of them made their way to the dining area for lunch.

"I don't know if we should invite any of my fourth cousins." Mai said later that night. She had been busy planning the invitation list for about a week, and she was only half way done. She knew that marrying the Fire Lord had to be a big deal. She had to invite people she had never even met before, yet still invite people in both their families.

"I've only met two of your cousins in general; both of them were very…eccentric." Zuko replied, sitting beside her.

"My mother is coming by tomorrow."
