It was the day of the funeral. Suki tied the back of her dress up. She had on black shoes, black tights, a black dress, and a black headband. She walked downstairs and saw her dad waiting. He was dressed in all black. They got in the car in silence. When they arrived at the venue her Aunt Kyoshi was helping set up. "Hey, Suki dear. How are you fairing?"
"Terrible," she said bluntly, no word could even begin to describe how she felt. But empty, broken, and dripping in sadness could try. Her aunt hugged her tight and the first tears of the day began to stream down the young girl's face, but she brushed them ff knowing that she would cry more at the service.
Soon Suki's friends trickled in. Mai had a lot of black roses from her aunt's shop. Toph's head was hung low, it seemed as if her words were caught in her thought. Zuko stood by her side, they were good friends. Azula was near him but not as close to Suki, both figurative and literally. Even Ty Lee was dressed in all black. Aang was Then Sokka and Katara came in, Sokka came right up and hugged her tight, she cried into her boyfriend's shoulder. As they walked into the service room Sokka never let go of her hand, in fact, it seemed as if he was the only thing that was keeping her from floating away from everything. As they took their seats Suki's friends surrounded her. Sokka would comfort her when the tears started to stream in abundance. It was like there was some big hole in her heart that could never be refilled.
After the service, Sokka decided that they should get ice cream to cheer Suki up. She ordered Mint Chocolate chip ice cream in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone. They ate and joked. Suki even cracked a few smiles. Afterward, she pulled Sokka away. "Listen, thank you so much for today but,"
"But?"
"Listen this is a really hard time in my life and I don't want to drag you down with me."
"But, I love you!
"I love you too, Sokka but we need to break up." There were tears streaming down her face. Sokka hugged her one last time and she went back to her car. Sokka watched her drive off and tears welled into his eyes.
"You okay?" asked a very confused Katara.
"No," he said simply, "Let's just go."
A/N: The original plan was for Suki to thank Sokka and kiss him but the story took the reins and we ended up here. Yes, Maiko and Sukka are broken up. There will be some Kei Lo, but there will be a happy ending with all my/our favorite ships. Peace out my good hotmen!
