Was It Meant To Be

The Secret

Third Person POV

They had been riding for a little over six hours until they reached the east coast of the Earth Kingdom.  Aang had Appa land on a cliff overlooking the sea.  Aang attempted to meditate, but Toph cut him off.  "Twinkle Toes, what happened between you and Madame Fussybritches."

Aang sighed, "Well, I was the happiest man on earth and then I turned a corner in the Fire Lord's Palace.  I saw Katara and Zuko kissing and telling each other they loved one another.  I was too stunned to say shit, but Mai walked right behind and saw as well.  She fell to the floor heartbroken and we sat there for a minute.  I picked her up, brought her to Sokka and Suki, then sat in my room.  When I saw Katara, I demanded the betrothel necklace back then we left this morning to come and pick you up."

Toph could hear how bitter his voice was.  She understood his pain, watching the one you love throw that love right back at you.  Toph stood and gave Aang the biggest hug her body could muster.  She felt his shock, but he quickly melted into the hug.  After they broke apart, Sokka asked the big question.  "What about your duties of Avatar?  You still have to meet up with Zuko to receive the letters."

"Whaaaaa?"  Toph questioned.  She was so confused, her head was starting to hurt.

"Look Toph, as Team Avatar, we are always moving around so its hard for people to know where we are.  I came up with a genious plan to fix this problem.  What we did was we told all the villages within the world to send a letter if they needed help to Zuko.  Zuko would relay the message to us so we could go do our jobs. Since we have disassociated ourselves from the others. We need a new base of operations."

"I know Sokka, that's why I already know where to go."  Aang replied sternly.  "So you know how there were four air temples." At this point Toph could hear his heart beat and they weren't even on Earth.

"One for each direction.  The east and west held only women and the north and south held only men." Suki replied.

Aang nodded.  "Well I am about to share with you a secret only known by master Air Benders.  There is another temple, stuck right in the middle of the world if you look at a map.  It is hidden from all by a special form of Airbending that only masters can learn.  It is hidden inside of air, the same type of air all around us.  Before the war, I was lucky enough to learn about it and it's the location.  However, we have a slight... uh issue. The only way for someone to see it and be able to I guess.....feel it." Aang shrugged. "Is for you to receive a special Air Bending move that it seems only I know.  It is called the breath of knowledge.  So in order to reach the air temple, I have to give each of you a kiss." 

"Oh fuck no. I will not be kissing any man, even you." Sokka screamed.  Suki gave him the death glare.  "Uhhh,  nore will you be kissing by girlfriend."  his voice cracking.  

"Well, that's cool.  I just have to blow the air up your nose or ears.  However, it is extremely uncomfortable."  Aang warned.

"Ahh fuck it.  Besides I wanna see what the Sugar Queen is missing out on."  Aang blushed a shade of scarlet as he glimpsed at Toph.

"You know what, so do I.  Hey don't look at me like that, you didn't stand up for me."  Sokka gulped hard.

"Well since everyone else is in, I guess so am I."  Mai stated gloomly.  Sokka almost shrieked, forgetting that Mai was there.  

Aang twiddled his thumbs, "Uhhh, sure."  Mai gave Aang a soft peck as he breathed the special air into her.  Next came Toph and she gave him a hard, passionate kiss.  It took Aang a while to breathe back because he was too busy kissing her back.  His face flushed red, realizing he thought Toph was Katara and performed the bending move.  Toph backed off, her face red and slack with shock.

"Holy fucking shit, Sukki you have to get you some of that.  That was some 10 out of 10 shit right there."  Sukki nodded silently.  She walked right up to Aang and sat right in front of him.  She whispered so only Aang could hear.  "Listen, I don't like you like I do Sokka, so this kiss I am about to give you is for three reasons.  So I can say I kissed the Avatar, to see what Katara is missing because I have kissed Zuko, and to see what Sokka's reaction is."  Aang gulped hard, but he steeled his nerves and nodded yes.  Then Suki attacked him like Momo attacks a piece of fruit.  She kissed him hard, before licking his lower lip, asking for entrance.  Aang obliged, but dominated her instantly, exploring every nook and cranny of her mouth.  She moaned into the kiss and Sokka fainted.  He straight up fainted, but the two didn't care.  They made out for a couple more minutes before Toph cleared her throat.  Aang blew the special air into her mouth then crawled off of her.  Sukki sat there looking like a fish out of water for snapping back to the real world.  She crawled over to Sokka and slapped him awake.  

He awoke with a start, "What happened?  All I remember is dreaming of Aang and Suki making kids without me and Momo was watching."  They all began laughing, even Mai.  It took them a while before they stopped.  Aang stood and walked to Sokka.  He whispered in his ear, "You ready."  Sokka nodded and Aang blew the air through his ear. Sokka jumped so far and high that he fell off of Appa. 

"Aang I swear, if I die because of you, I will fucking kill you!"  Aang merely chuckled, a mischievous grin with some added light returned to the dark grey eyes.  He cracked his back, then he jumped over the side.  Without his glider.
