A little story to help me overcome my writer's block for "The search."
It's called competition.
Background:It has been 3 years since Firelord Ozai was killed. Aang now wanted to settle for a casual and normal life with his friends. The four live in the upper ring of Ba Sing Se. Sokka and Toph are engaged and Aang still hasn’t made up his mind if he should tell Katara about his feelings towards her. One day Aang has been called to the Fire Nation to make peace between two villages of firebenders. His friends anxiously wait for his return but he never shows up…
Aang… That was all Katara could think of. It has been 2 years since Aang had left and Katara had missed him. She felt like there was a part of her missing. She knew that Aang could’ve… died, but like she never gave up hope that Aang would return.
“Katara, what are you doing! You have to get ready for my wedding. You are after all, Toph’s maid of honor.” Sokka shouted. He had no idea why his sister was playing with water when he was about to be married.
“Huh, What. The wedding’s today?!?!” Katara exclaimed while a bit startled.
Sokka shot her a dirty look. “No it’s next week.” Sokka said sarcastically. “Hurry up and get dressed, the wedding is in an hour.”
“Ok I’ll go change.” Katara said with the slight annoyance in her voice while she ran to her house.
Katara looked in her closet and found a blue dress. It was really beautiful and perfect for a wedding. But most of all, it was one of Aang’s gifts to her. She quickly put it on and walked to Sokka’s house.
“I’m ready, where’s Toph?” Katara asked.
“She’s at the Firelight Fountain, getting ready for the wedding.” Katara responded and she swiftly walked out of the room.
“Hey Katara, do you think Toph would be …” He stopped as he noticed Katara was gone.
I wonder where she went to, Sokka wondered.

“Hey Toph, are you nervous about the big day?” Katara asked.
“Me? Nervous… Are you kidding, sugar queen?” Toph said with her voice trembling.
Katara knew she was lying. She could see her shaking.
“Toph, it’s OK to be nervous. I mean… it is your wedding day.” Katara consoled. And you know you have your true love… Katara added in her head.
“What if something goes wrong… What if no one shows up… what if-” Toph stopped when Katara cut her off.
“Don’t worry… everything’s going to be fine. Nothing is going to go wrong, and you’ll be spending the rest of your life with Sokka, and remember, you always have your friends with you.” Katara said.
Toph seemed calmer than she was now.
“Thank you, Katara.”
“OK. Now I’ll go check on the guests.”
Katara went to the crowd that had gathered near the fountain. She heard a deep and familiar voice behind her.
“Hello Katara.”
Katara spun around and saw Haru. She ran up to him and hugged him.
“Haru! It’s so good to see you.” Katara exclaimed.
“It’s good to see you too.” He responded.
“I have to go and check on the guests I’ll be back soon to catch up with you.” She said as she ran off.
