[ Along with his letter Aang or Katara should give Sokka all the tiny wind-up toy people Asami made her when in Luceti, aside from those of Ikki and her family; Suki, Sokka, and some of the other Luceti Avatarians should be there, as well as other various people from Luceti, and some random made-up people. He should also get a picture book of assorted fairytales. Includes "The Pied Piper" and "The Princess And The Pea". More oddly he gets a bit of torn gold paper, remnant of a chocolate bar, and a pop tab. For...some reason.
The letter itself that comes with these things is written on cute flowery stationary, with little drawings in the margins. ]
Uncle Sokka,
You haven't been here long. That's weird to say, because before you-you came here, you were here the entire time I was. The first day I was here you came and picked me up from the fountain. I like to play there, and that's the first thing I did here. You took me to the store and let me have a soda and chocolate - that's the first time I had either. Well, we have soda at home, but it's not like the soda here. I like the way the bubbles feel in my mouth.
You did a lot of things you don't remember. Did I ever tell you my glider and boomerang were made by you? They both were.
But you've done things you do remember, too. So I should talk about those. Thanks for looking out for me when everyone went on the draft. You told me silly stories. You've been Uncle Sokka, and I missed you when you were gone. If I go away, I'll miss you again, I think.
I never told you about your future even though you asked. So I'll tell you it now, although it's a secret. You're going to become even greater than you are now. You'll be the Southern Water Tribe representative on the United Republic Council. The Council's chairman, even. They're going to make a big, big statue of you. It's at home, right in front of the Southern Water Tribe Cultural Center. You're holding your boomerang up, and I've always thought it looks really cool.
It's not as cool as you are. I like talking to you and playing with you better than I ever liked looking at a statue.
You're the kind of person people build statues of, huh? I mean, we have that head of you out in front of the house. I guess Aunt Toph made it because of an experiment, but no one ever really told me the full story about that. I like it, anyway. It's fun to see how people react when I say our house is easy to find 'cause my uncle's head is out front.
Usually they make weird faces or look at me like I'm crazy.
I think you can probably tell people our house is easy to find 'cause your head is out front. I bet that'd get weird faces, too.
Do you think someday someone will build a statue of me? I think I'd like that. Everyone else in my family is really good at getting statues of them built. So, maybe someday I'll do something worthy of a statue, too. I don't now what that will be. Maybe I will find a princess and save her, or else I will save a kingdom, or something exciting like that. But after I do that, I hope you get to see my statue, and you can tell me if you think it looks cool or not.
Maybe you can also give me tips about how to pose for a statue properly. Maybe I will ask you about it tomorrow.
I always wanted to meet you and spend time with you. Thanks for letting me do that.
And thanks for always giving me snacks even when I wasn't supposed to be having them exactly.
