Together

Dance

Friday was the school dance. "So who is everyone taking?" Sokka asked at lunch.

"Well, I'm going with you," Suki said making her boyfriend roll his eyes.

"I'm going with Zuko." Mai mentioned.

"I'm going with the Duke." Toph said.

"And let me guess, everyones favorite couple, Aang and Katara are going together." Sokka teased lightheartedly. But the look that the formally happy couple shared was anything but lighthearted, like the reignation of a resient fight.

Aang broke away from the silent conversation and informed, "Actually, I will be attending the dance with this nice girl, Onji."

"And I'll be going with Haru." Their friends were in complete shock, they never knew anything was wrong but there was clearly something Aang and Katara weren't telling the others.

When the day of the dance came around the Gaang met out front of the school. When they got in the music was blasting. Sokka and Suki headed for the food first knowing if they waited it out all the tiny cupcakes would be gone. Toph and the Duke surprisingly headed in the middle of the commotion. Mai and Zuko stayed near the edge of the Cafeteria (That's where the dances are at my school, I don't know I think most people's are in the gym.) Sokka glanced over to his sister he could see the jealousy in his sister's eyes as Aang and Onji danced. Haru stood by her side, he could tell that the two of them were actually just friends. Katara tore her eyes away from the dancing couple and got some fruit punch and started talking to Jinora and Kai who were just there as friends (the only people they were fooling were themselves.) Sokka the supreme detective was set on finding out what caused Aang and Katara to breakup. "I know what you are thinking and I am so in." his date whispered into his ear. He looked back at her, she looked amazing in her short poofy green dress. They slunk back to a corner to plot. The thing about school dances is that unlike in the movies you can't just go outside, the teachers practically trap you in the cafeteria, in fear you'd mess up the school or something. (Again this is just from my personal experience.)  

"Okay what was the last we saw of them being all couply?" Sokka asked

"Two weeks ago, Aang bought Katara the necklace at the mall."

"Alright do you know of anything that could've caused this?"

"No, but I know somone who would." A minute later Suki came back pulling Haru in tow.

"What do you know?" she asked

"Nothing, Katara just came up to me and said that she needed a date to the dance as a friend and I was the only person she could ask."

"Who else are we supposed to ask?" Sokka questioned.

"No one. If you had a question you should've asked me not try and figure it out your selves." Katara said, suddenly appearing. 

"Katara!"

"Since you clearly do want to know, I decided I wasn't ready for a relationship."

"Why?" Suki asked softly

"Aang was getting jealous and I guess I was too."

Later that night, a few minuted before the end Suki was lurking near the snack table. Her and Sokka had gone there separate ways after hour two, so they could each eat, dance, mingle, or just sit ait there own will. "Hey what's up?" Sokka asked her.

"Nothing much, just trying to scrounge up whatever's left before I leave."

"Got anything good?"

"Just two cans of 7-up, ready to go?"

"Yep." 

They left and ended up sitting in a tree behind the school, snuggled up to eachother. Suki handed Sokka her other 7-up.  "What happend to Aang and my sister, do you think that will happen to us?" Sokka asked.

"I would never let that happen, not ever."

"Good."

"I love you." Suki whispered into his ear.

Sokka turned to face her, "I love you too." Then kissed her fiercely. They sat in that tree for a few for a few minutes making out in the dark.

A/N: Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was busy and had writer's block. But now we have some good Kataang angst and Sukka sweetness like promised! Hope you enjoy! I will probably write a lot more tomorrow, me and my brother don't have school tomarrow.
