The Trip to Gaoling

Day 3- The Colonies (part 2)

KATARA'S POV:

"No one else read the note," I said. They all nodded but Sokka took it from Aang's hand. "Sokka, you idiot!" Suki screamed as she slapped him. 

"Oh no," Sokka said. "At least Snoozles didn't fain," Toph said. I rolled my eyes as I tried to heal Aang's heart. "What does it say?" Tylee asked hesitantly. 

"Ozai. He escaped again," Sokka said. We all gasped. "That son of a bitch," Mai muttered as she slapped her boyfriend's chest, trying to wake him up. 

"But it's from Azula. She... she wants to talk to you, Kat," Sokka said. I widened my eyes and turned to face him. "Me?!" I asked. He nodded. "Oh shit," Toph mumbled. 

"Why me?!" I asked. "Something about Aang, she said," my brother replied as he shrugged. "Just read the note!" Lao screamed. Sokka put his hands up in mock defeat and started to read. 

Dear Team Avatar,  

Good morning. I know you know who I am. I just wanted to let you know that The Phoenix King has escaped prison, and will soon be on his rightful place on the throne. But first, he wants to go and claim the colonies as The Islands of Ozai. Just and fyi. It's not like you'll be able to stop him, I know you're all in Gaoling. But maybe you'll acknowledge your defeat more and be more miserable, which is what I want. Oh, and I need to talk to Katara about Aang, so when you can make it to Yu Dao just stop bye the giant red castle. Ok, bye. 

Azula

I gasped. "No way, we can't let him do that," Poppy said, sobbing into Lao's shoulder. "Get a hold of yourself, mom. We'll fix this. We're Team Avatar. If we can end a century-long war, we can end this shit," Toph warned. 

Poppy gasped at her daughter's language and Sokka scoffed. "Damn right we can. But we can't leave now," he said as Zuko woke up. 

I gave him my hand and he sat up in his girlfriend's lap. He started to cough. "I just had the worst dream..." He said. Sokka smacked him in the head with the note. 

"That was real life, dingus," Toph muttered. "Ok, so, Azula and Ozai are insane. What's new?" Al asked. That got us to smile, at least. 

Aang woke up, finally. I helped him up as he started to choke. He pecked me when he finally sat up and Sokka gagged. I water-whipped him. 

"That was a horrible nightmare," Aang muttered. Sokka smacked him and Toph said the same thing again. I rolled my eyes at both of them. 

"You could be nicer about it," El complained. Sokka hit her with the note and she cuffed his hands with ice. "Be nice my butt," Sokka said. El snorted. 

"Well, when do we leave?" Aang asked. "As soon as you can," Lao said. "We legit came here to visit you, then you go up to us and tell us that my boyfriend has to marry another girl, nevermind my bestfriend, and now you give us horrible news. And now we have to leave," I recapped. Lao nodded. "Pretty much," Poppy said. 

I scoffed in disappointment. "Can you blame us, though? You know you're not good enough for the Avatar," Lao said. Everyone gasped. You can't mess with me. 

I suddenly heard everyone gasp again, even Lao and Poppy, as I shot water at their necks and they flew backwards. 

I collapsed into Aang's arms. "What happened?" I asked. I felt a little light-headed. "Nothing, sweetie," he replied. 

"What the heck was that?" Lao asked. "Did you lie to the whole world for an entire year?" Poppy asked, dumbfound. Then I realized I was glowing. 

"Wow, you guys are that stupid. Ok. So, Katara is my soulmate, say anything about me and Toph one more time, I'll glow on you," Aang said. Sokka snorted.
