He's trying to be helpful. App is a work in progress.

I'm glad you're here, mun. I had a list of ideas for things I can do once I get in that game that you're writing that app for. I know you always have trouble with these kinds of things, and since you just picked me up, I figured you could use the help.

First of all, I think I should open a business eventually. I know we've already talked about this, but I've really thought this through, and I think that "Omashu Fried Chicken" would be a big hit. Now, I know what you're thinking, but trust me on this one.

Think about it. It practically sells itself. I mean, I even made a logo and everything!

I think it really gets the point across. I hope you like it, mun. I spent, like, ten whole minutes on it.

I mean, you can do that in this "Zodion" place, right? I haven't really read up on what kind of game it is. I guess I should do that soon, shouldn't I...

[ Even though she had to leave so much behind she knew it was the right decision. So many others were doing so much to help others, it was her turn to do the same. Though she would be lying if she said she didn't miss her family, her friends.... Sokka.

Hearing him say all these things to her, it made her feel more proud of her decision. He was the one against it the most. She is certain she left him feeling hurt, but even so he's still here making her happy, saying these sweet things to her.]

If you keep saying things like that to me, I'm not sure I'll be able to make myself let you go.

[He doesn't want to let go, either. And right now, he's not going to. But he does feel the need to tell her.]

Yue, listen... a few months after you left, I met someone. She reminds me of you, because both of you are the strongest, most caring people I've ever met. I was hesitant for a while because... I felt like I failed you. If I had been stronger, I thought that maybe I could have protected you, and I didn't want to fail like that ever again.

[He can feel the beginnings of tears welling up behind his eyes, and he looks down, his hands still on her shoulders.]

Now that it's all over, I know that you had to leave. And I think about you a lot. Sometimes I think about how nice it'd be if you could be with all of us and see the new world that we're going to make together... but then...

[He smiles a little bit.]

...I realize that you are with us.

[ Don't you start tearing up, Sokka. It's only going to make her tear up more. Despite the tears welling up in her eyes she gives him a gentle smile. She's happy that him and everyone else can live in a better world. She's happy Sokka found another. She may feel a little sad, maybe even jealous, but she knows she'd feel even worse if Sokka wasn't able to find himself happiness. She nudges his head up and uses her sleeve to wipe the tears from his eyes. ]

I'll never leave your side. I'll always be in here.

[ She places her hand over his chest where his heart would be. ]

[He gazes down at her hand on his chest, then looks back up at her eyes. They really are very beautiful eyes... he even noticed them before he saw her hair, and that's saying something.]

I know. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

[No matter what happens, no matter what the future holds, she'll always hold an incredibly special place in his heart.]

...You know, they made a play about us. And when we had a scene together, I... kind of cried like a little baby.

A play about us?

[ That was a little... embarrassing? Flattering? She's not sure. ]

Well, a child's cries are the purest, Sokka. [ She gives him somewhat of a playful smile. ]

[He takes it all in stride. If you can't laugh at yourself...]

It was a pretty terrible play besides that. I mean, we saw it before Aang fought the Fire Lord, and it was in a Fire Nation theater, so it was kind of biased. They made our friend Toph this big, muscly guy, Aang was played by a girl, and all I did was make stupid jokes about meat. So you didn't miss much.

I do hope it didn't become a waste of your time at least. It sounds like it would have been.... something else to say the least.

I think it made us a little more determined to win, to be honest. We felt like we had something to prove.

But when I was watching the part with you... it reminded me of everything that happened. And for the record, that guy you were betrothed to was a complete jerk.

[Why, no, he hasn't let that go after all this time.]

[ She can't help but laugh at that, a genuine laugh. She tries to cover it up with her hands because she doesn't want to come off as rude, but she can't help it. The laughter was probably her way of agreeing with him, without saying the words. ]

And he kept getting the Fire Nation Admiral's name wrong, so I was definitely smarter than him, too. Just saying.

[Making Yue laugh - or even just smile - is a very worthy endeavor. One that he'll keep doing without complaint.]

He... did not match well with me. That is for sure, and deep down I know his feelings were not for me, but of what I could bring him. His intensions were not hidden well.

If it were possible... if things could have been different, I would have picked someone completely different.

[ Someone from the Southern Watertribe. The one that still owes her that activity. ]

Yeah, well, I bet that guy would've been the luckiest guy in the world.

[Oh, he's definitely still down for an activity. Or a few dozen. Lots of time for activities now that the world's all saved.]

I wonder if he would feel that way. I certainly hope he would.

I have it on pretty good authority that he totally would. He probably thinks you're amazing and beautiful, and he wouldn't have cared if you were the princess or not.

I mean, assuming we're both talking about the same guy here.

He thinks all of those things about me, huh?

[ She couldn't help but be amused, and it took all of her strength not to kiss him on the lips this very moment. He had someone currently. She didn't want to ruin things for them. She instead leans forward and kisses him on the cheek. ]

Perhaps you could pass that onto him then...

[A kiss like that would give him even more confused feelings. Because there are a lot of feelings, and trying to choose between two women, both of whom he loves so much... well, it would be torture.]

I'll let him know if I see him.

[ She would hate to confuse him. It wouldn't be fair to him or his current girlfriend. ]

Thank you, Sokka. You're the sweetest.

[Stuff like that would make Sokka wish there were two Sokkas, really.]

Yeah, I guess I really am.

[He's hoping for another laugh.]

[ She can't help but giggle more. She seems to be one of the very few that enjoy his sense of humor. ]

Becareful, Sokka. We would not want your head to float away.

Good thing there's a gorgeous moon spirit up there to catch it, then, right?

[Nudge nudge.]

I do not believe I have a choice. Such genius should not be taken away like that.

[ Yue, here you are talking about his ego getting bigger, when you're not exactly helping. Tsktsk. ]

[Careful, Yue. Keep petting that ego and he might not want to let you go, either. Well, he already doesn't... being with her, even in this capacity, is really nice.]

I know! I mean, who would say all the jokes and sarcastic remarks?

No one can make such remarks the way you do.

[ She looks away again, her face slowly heating up. ]

[He's finding that the more time he spends with her, the more heated his face gets, too.]

Yeah, well... you're pretty amazing, too, Yue.

Me? Are you certain you are speaking about me?
