Are we sure Suyin’s not adopted
Kya motions to the airship and slowing everyone floods out, the air bender kids coming down on their air scooters, followed by Tenzin chasing them and Bumi laughing at his brother. Zuko and Izumi then walk out followed by Toph who mumbles something about being on the airship taking her back to her days on Appa.
Everyone hugs Suyin and exchanges a which hello. Su looks around noting the absence of her daughter, just as she is about to ask Opal comes running towards her with Bolin not far behind him.
“Mom!”
“Opal!”
Suyin wraps Opal in her arms lifting her off the ground and spinning her around before placing her back onto the ground and peppering kisses all over the young airbenders face.
“Mom I know I’ve asked this before but are we sure Suyin’s not adopted?” Lin questions as her and her mother look over at the display of affection.
As the group laughs Su and Opal share a look that only Zuko sees. He soon realises their plan and steps out of the way as they run towards Toph and Lin engulfing them in a family hug. The laughter resurges and the rest of Su’s family hears and as they see a group hug they all run to join in.
“Mom, why didn’t you tell us everyone was here?!” Huan laughs as they pile onto the hug.
“Grandma Toph!”
“Aunt Lin!”
“Opal!”
Wing and Wei shout excitedly making their way into the hug.
Baatar Sr. Joins in just before Toph has enough and pushes them all off.
The group laughs and aww’s harder than they ever have.
Before dinner Suyin feels something grab her arm pulling her into the hallway away from everyone. Instantly Su jumps into a fighting stance but relaxes as she sees who her supposed attackers are.
“Bumi! Izumi!” She laughs looking over at her friends a quizzical look on her face.
She sees the two standing side by side, Izumi with her hands behind her back standing up straight and serious. Bumi looking more serious than Su - or anyone- had ever seen him.
“We’ve gotta talk.” Izumi says straight faced.
“About what?” Su couldn’t think of anything she’d done wrong, that they know about.
“Your sister... and my sister...”
“My best friends.”
“Ohhh we’re talking about the fact that they’re banging?” Su clarifies.
“We’re talk about the fact that they should be!” Bumi says a little too loudly causing Izumi to lightly hit him and Su to look around checking no one has heard them.
“We’ve got a plan we just need your help.” Izumi steps in, taking charge of the operation.
“I was gonna say that!” Bumi whines from behind the woman.
“I’m obviously the leader here, I’m the fire lord.” Izumi says as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
“I was a general!”
“Um I’m literally in charge of Zufo!”
“The fire nations bigger!”
“I lead the navy!”
“I still lead Zufo!”
“Ok, enough!” Izumi finally shouts over the group squabbling like they’re children again.
“What’s the plan?” Suyin asks calming down and refocusing.
Once they go over all the final details of the plan they return to the group to see everyone down by the training area.
“Toph and Zuko against Ikki, Jinora and Meelo! A fight for the ages!” Bumi screams as he runs down to join the rest of them watching the event.
Izumi and Su laugh as they sit down and join everyone. They notice Kya and Lin sitting next to each other and decide to sit behind them and watch all hell break lose.
Zuko is clearly going easy on the children only shooting small blasts of fire so they can air bend it away. Toph of the other hand is going all out, throwing boulders at the children. Zuko has ‘accidentally’ shot seven of Tophs boulders knowing the kids wouldn’t be strong enough.
Just as Ikki shoots out a powerful gust of wind Toph metal bends one of the near by meteors in Suyin’s collection and attempts to throw it in the kids direction. Before it reaches them Opal jumps in the field air bending the meteor away from the kids and settling it in Huan lap.
“Mom! What have I told you about not touching Huan’s art!” Suyin shouts returning to ‘mom mode’.
Toph grumbles something before walking off in the middle of the match.
“Guess it’s just me and you honour boy!” Meelo shouts, sending a blast of air towards Zuko and knocking his sisters backwards.
“We’re literally right here!”
“What the hell Meelo!”
“It was OVER 50 YEARS AGO!!!” Zuko laughs sending a weak blast of fire towards Meelo.
Meelo knocks Zuko down and he over dramatically falls to the ground as Meelo celebrates, jumping up and down.
“I stole your honour! I stole your honour!” Meelo chants dancing around Zuko as his sisters angrily make their way back into the field after being blasted off.
The group laughs before heading in for dinner. All the children run in after Bumi shouts “last one in is a rotten turtle duck egg!”
Izumi and Su stay back trying to distract Kya and Lin so by the time everyone else is in they will be forced to sit next to each other. Bumi runs ahead with the kids telling them to leave two seats for Aunt Kya and Aunt Lin.
“Why?” Meelo asks.
“Can I still sit next to Aunt Lin?” Ikki asks patting the seat next to her.
“It’s cause Aunt Kya is the only one who can stop Aunt Lin from ripping a hole into the earth when someone’s being annoying.” Jinora says matter of a factly, taking a seat across from Ikki.
Bumi laughs as he pats Jinora’s head. “Yup! Spot on kid!”
The rest of the adults slowly poor in, leaving the two seats for Kya and Lin at Bumi’s request.
“Why would Lin want to spend anymore time with Kya, she hates people, if anything we should put her at the head of the table or the other end entirely!” Tenzin says confused.
Bumi hits his head with his hand as all the air bender kids slam their heads against the table.
“Because Aunt Lin only like Aunt Kya!” Meelo shouts at his father astonished he wasn’t figured it out yet.
“And cause they’re basically married!” Jinora says taking a sip of her water.
“Duh!” Ikki says as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
Bumi erupts in laughter as Tenzins face grows reader.
“Careful there bro, your arrow might turn red!” Bumi cackles as the air bender children laugh with him.
The room goes silent as Kya and Lin enter a smile plastered on Lin’s face. Tenzins eyes get wider and he simply takes a seat unsure of how to proceed.
Everyone else settles into a comfortable conversation and Kya asks if anyone wants a drink. Most of the adults say yes and Meelo tries to convince his father that he is old enough to drink. Lin offers to help Kya and just as she is about to greatfully accept Tenzin speaks up.
“No! No, Lin, don’t worry about it I’ll help Kya!” He says just a bit too loud and enthusiastically.
The rest of the table looks confused as Lin awkwardly sits down and looks to Ikki silently asking what the hell just happened. Ikki simply shrugs and continues eating.
“So, um.. you and Lin?” Tenzin asks as awkwardly as humanly possible.
“So me and Lin.” Kya says unaware of where he is going with this.
“Well I... ah.. I h-“
“Just say it Tenzin.”
“Are you two married?” He finally asks.
Kya stares at her little brother dumbfounded. Where on earth did he get such an idea? Her and Lin? Bumi! It must have been Bumi that told him!
“What did Bumi tell you?!” She asks angrily walking back toward to door leading into the dining room.
She opens it with enough force that the entire table goes silent at her entry. Someone awkwardly coughs breaking the silence as Kya death glares Bumi.
“Bumi, can I have a word with you in the kitchen please?” She asks, her voice void of all emotion.
