Little Soldier Boy (Iroh II)

Epilogue

"Could we wrap this up, please?" The chairwoman asked.

"Of course," Iroh saluted her. "Thank you all for this honor."

The council nodded to him.

Iroh and Bumi exited the stage.

They headed out of the building.

Iroh's family and friends met them outside.

Suki ran to her brother and jumped into his arms.

Iroh hugged her tight, "I've missed you Kitty."

"I missed you too Roro," Suki pressed her cheek to his.

He smiled. He set her down, hugging the rest of the family.

"We're so proud of you Iroh," Zuko smiled at his grandson.

"Thank you grandfather," Iroh bowed to him.

"Congrats Dragon Prince," Sin said, walking to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Shield your eyes little warrior!" Bumi wrapped the flaps of his jacket around Suki's head.

Suki laughed, "Daddy, I'm ten!"

"No, you're eight and you will always be eight," Bumi kissed her head.

She smiled, holding his arms.

Izumi smiled at her husband and daughter.

"Guess you're really ditching us," Pelo teased.

Nin grabbed his hand, "We could always apply for First Division."

"We need Iroh!" Chi smiled.

"I've already applied," Cho raised his hand.

Hano hooked his arm around Cho's neck and touched their heads together, "He convinced me to apply with him."

Kayoda punched his arm, "Why didn't you tell me! I'm applying next chance I get."

"I'm in if you guys are," Yuku shrugged.

"Good, you already have half your crew," Mai teased.

Iroh smiled, "I hope so. I'd love to keep you guys in my fleet."

"Can't you control it too?" Izumi asked.

Iroh shook his head, "Unfortunately not. Everyone is placed by skill, they can apply, but nothing is guaranteed."

Izumi nodded.

"Are we still going to Airtemple Island?" Suki asked suddenly.

"Yeah," Iroh nodded. "Grandpa and Gran-Gran wanted me to visit before I set out.

"Then let's go!" Suki ran for the docks to board the ferry.

Everyone quickly followed the Airbender.

After a short ride, they arrived at the island.

"Roro!" Suki squealed as she jumped off the boat. "Roro!"

"What Kitty?" He chuckled when she suddenly latched onto his waist as they headed for the temple.

"You're an uncle!"

Everyone, including Bumi and Izumi, looked at her with mixed emotions of shock, concern, and just plain confusion.

Suki started pulling him, "Come on! Come on! I want you to meet her!"

Iroh followed, as well as the rest of the group.

Suki dragged him all the way to the bison stables.
