“The stress of planning a wedding. The chaos of today. Marrying me.”
[ID: A five panel full color digital comic displays Katara and Zuko after their wedding and after all the trials and tribulations they had to endure to get to that point.
Panel 1: Katara and Zuko are dressed for their wedding in complementary outfits that combine both their cultures (both wear some red and some blue, each also has elements of fur on their garments). Katara’s hair is styled with a pearl and seashell headdress and a gossamer veil, and Zuko’s hair is pulled half up into a topknot, held in place by his Fire Lord crown. Zuko takes Katara’s hand and asks nervously “So, was it worth it?” as Katara looks up at him smiling. They stand in a reception room while the audience can see through open doors behind them to the grand hall where all their loved ones are walking toward them. Sokka has his arm around Suki and is fist pumping the air, Toph is dragging Aang by the hand while Aang air bends confetti into the sky. Momo flies overhead. Iroh follows in the background.
The next three panels have jagged edges and are cocked at strange angles indicating chaos.
Panel 2: In a red color scheme, the panel indicates a gas leak emanating through the hotel everyone was staying at for the wedding. Suki is in the foreground motioning back to the group to get out of the building while covering her mouth with a rag. Sokka, Zuko, and Katara motion to other hotel occupants to follow them out of the building. Swirls of gas float in the background above Suki’s head.
Panel 3: In a blue color scheme, Katara is turned disdainfully away from Haru, with a mustache, who proudly proposes to Katara on one knee with his hand over his chest and his eyes closed. He is trying to say “Katara will you marry m-” But Katara’s word bubble overlaps his saying “THERE’S A FRICKIN’ BOMB, HARU”
Panel 4: In a purple color scheme, Katara tearfully shows Zuko her dirty and damaged veil. Zuko holds up half of the veil, looking down to assess the damage. They are both wearing casual tunics, and Zuko’s tunic is open, showing the scar on his abdomen.
The middle three panels are accompanied by two small line drawings of flustered Zuko and Katara outside of the panels.
Panel 5: The close up of Katara and Zuko in their wedding outfits shows them from the shoulders up. Zuko is leaning down to rest his forehead gently against Katara’s. Both of their eyes are closed as she answers his question from the first panel, simply stating, “Absolutely.” Their hands are clasped together above their hearts, smiling softly. The image is soft and glossy looking. /END ID]
