Sokka was enjoying himself.

He was enjoying himself immensely.

There was no way Zuko would be able to pull this off. So what if he had actually asked Sokka for Katara’s hand in marriage? There was no way Sokka was just going to hand his only sister over to the arrogant fire prince without making him work for it.

“I have to what?”

“You have to make her a necklace, Zuko. It’s part of our culture. If you can’t follow our customs and traditions, there’s no way I’ll let you marry Katara.”

Okay, so it was part of the Northern Watertribe's culture. Sister tribes and all that. It didn’t matter, because Zuko was going to fail miserably and then Sokka could choose a proper husband for his sister.

A small wrench was thrown in the works, however, when Katara threw herself into Zuko’s arms saying that the necklace was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen and of course she would marry him.

Another brotherly protection plan foiled. But this was far from over.
