[Filtered from Katara and the Big Four Baddies ~~and Sanji~~]

Alright, friends of Katara. This is me, Sokka. Her brother. You should already know that. She probably doesn't know it because let's face it, math is more of my thing but her birthday is coming up next month. On July 5th, no less. So if anyone wants to help out, I'm the guy to talk to. I'm thinking we should go all out on this. Something big. Something... yeah, just something big. With streamers. Stuff like that.

Uh, Regal. You think you could make a cake at the bakery? It needs to be big. Vanilla. Maybe bits of nuts on it. Not too sweet. But big. Really big. Maybe make it say "Katara" on it. And there should be candles in the shape of a fifteen. Or maybe fifteen candles? I'm not sure how that tradition works. Maybe it's fifteen tiny cakes...?

I have the you-know-what for you-know-who at you-know-where.

[He saved the BEST NEWS FOR LAST. After seeing an echo of Azula taunting him to the point of him punching her and she ended up not being real (and him falling through her and to the ground), he did some investigating and came to a pretty startling conclusion.]

~~[Filtered to... oh wait, this doesn't need a filter.]~~

Azula was sent home. I'm sure we'll all miss her so much.

[Before ending his message, he momentarily thinks about saying something about the draft. He decides against it. People will know or they won't. It's best to leave it alone.]

I'll remember to tell her happy birthday, then.

You can't tell her until AFTER the party, though! You'll ruin the surprise!

...You really think my timing would be that bad?

I just want to make sure. Her birthday is actually on a different day back home, so she won't know it's coming.

Trying to be extra sneaky, huh?

It's been known to happen.

I'm sure it has.

[Pause.]

Next session is without weapons. Or armor.

Martial arts, huh? [Well... he knew a little. Not a lot. Just what Suki and Ty Lee showed him.]

Yeah. Always good to know if you run out of weapons.

Yeah. I've just never had a chance to learn any of it before. Just a few moves, really.

I'll fix that for you.

[Implied tone being 'but it might hurt, so be ready for it']

... I'm going to have to ask my sister for a healing session afterward, aren't I.

Maybe not. Depends on how quick you are.

[Actually, unless Derek really messes up, this should be some of the less painful training. Maybe. Murphy's Law might have something to say about it, though. >.>]

[It's Sokka. Murphy's Law is called Sokka's Law in his world.]

... right. I'll be quick. [And inform his next of kin ahead of time.]

[In that case, maybe Derek should bring along a first aid kit in addition to brushing up on the healing he's learned while here before training...]

You'll do fine.

Yeah... Thanks.

You're welcome.

...So what are you planning for Katara?

Well, I was thinking we'd have a big party by the water. Dessert! Presents! Swimming! I think that's how summer birthdays go, right?

Yeah, that's about right. How about music?

I'll probably ask Brook to play some stuff. Could always use more if I can find someone who plays.

...if he runs out of options, lemme know. I can play guitar at least.

Hey, that would be great! I bet he'll want to be able to enjoy the party too, after all. Cake and stuff like that.

...what kind of music do you guys like?
