Katara was running back to her house when she saw Sokka, still standing on the altar, with a blank expression on his face. She heard him muttering. She got closer to hear what he was saying.

"How could I be such an idiot? I ruined the biggest night of my life, but I also broke Toph's heart." A tear rolled down Sokka's cheek.

"Yes you were a complete idiot Sokka. What were you thinking?!?" Katara yelled.

Sokka who was surprised of the interruption replied "I wasn't thinking. I was too nervous to think straight."

"Why would you say Suki or Yue instead of Toph?" Katara asked.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I've never imagined myself marrying Toph." Katara raised her eyebrow at this, but Sokka continued, "Toph, well… she had always been so tough, strong and independent. Don't get me wrong here, I love her, but I never imagined myself marrying her. I never thought I was god enough for her."

"You really hurt her, Sokka" Katara explained.

"I know, I just want to make things right again. I want to have her love again." This was the first time Katara saw Sokka cry, in fact, he was sobbing.

"Well I think that if you told her what you just told me, I think she'll forgive you. " Sokka looked at his sister with nothing but sheer joy and optimism.

"Thank you, lil sis." Sokka said with a hint of happiness in his voice.

"Well hurry up, I don't think Toph likes to wait." Katara said cheerfully and with that, Sokka took off, headed straight to his and Toph's house.

Katara was walking back to her house when she bumped into Haru again.

"Hey Katara…" Haru said nervously. "I'm sorry about a while ago. I was just carried away in the moment. I just wanted you to know how I felt about you."

Katara was now thinking of the opportunities she had. He can finally start a family. She can finally settle down. But there was one flaw in the whole plan. She didn't love Haru. She loved him in a brotherly- sisterly way, but nothing more. She wasn't sure if she could say "no" to him. She then remembered Aang was gone for 2 and half years. He could be kidnapped, injured, captured, or even… dead. This could be her last chance. She then heard Haru mumbling something.

"What was that?"

"Umm… I just said that I would be delighted if you came with me to the new moon celebration next week."

"How did you know about that?" Katara asked.

"Well, ever since I met you, Ive been keen on understanding your culture better as well."

Katara decided she needed to have a life of her own. She couldn't just wait for someone… someone that might be dead.

"Sure, I go with you." Katara said uneasily.

A huge smile spread across Haru's face.

"That's great!" he exclaimed. "I'll see you next week then."

"Yeah… next week…"

"Toph please let me in." Sokka shouted. "I'm sorry, I really am."

"Save it for Suki, I mean whoops, Yue!" Toph yelled back.

"I can explain. Please, please…" Sokka was in tears.

Toph could sense his desperation and sorrow. She felt Sokka drop to his knees.

"Fine, I'll hear what you have to say." Toph said, now much calmer.

Sokka then repeated exactly what he said to Katara. When he commented that he wasn't good enough for her, she bluntly replied "Your damn right", but Sokka didn't take notice as he continued his pleas to calm Toph down, and to make her love him again.

After he had finished his whole rant, Toph paused for a second then she spoke, "What you said makes sense and all but, you said you would spend all eternity with me, love me, and cherish me. You certainly didn't show it today." Toph said in tears.

"I'll forgive you though only for the time being." Toph stammered.

Those words were like music to Sokka's ears. He quickly ran up to her and hugged her. Then without warning Sokka lurched forward and gave Toph a soft but passionate kiss.
