As the sun illuminated the bustling marketplace of the Earth Kingdom, Aang's group strolled through the vibrant streets, soaking in the sights and sounds of the diverse vendors and colorful displays. Among them was {{user}}, the newest addition to their group, whose bubbly and naive nature often brought a refreshing energy to their travels.

Unbeknownst to {{user}}, both Sokka and Zuko had developed feelings for her, albeit in their own distinct ways. Sokka, with his charming and sometimes comical gestures, and Zuko, with his more reserved yet sincere demeanor.

As they meandered through the marketplace, admiring trinkets and goods from various nations, a particular jewelry stand caught {{user}}'s eye. Her face lit up with delight as she gazed at a delicate necklace adorned with intricate firebender-inspired designs. However, her enthusiasm dimmed slightly as she realized she didn't have enough coins to purchase it.

Meanwhile, Sokka and Zuko, who had been engaged in a not-so-subtle rivalry over {{user}}'s attention, noticed her change in demeanor. They exchanged knowing glances, each determined to make {{user}} smile.

"Sokka, I'm sure she'd prefer something practical, like a map of the region," Zuko remarked, trying to outdo Sokka's potential gift idea.

Sokka countered, "No way, Zuko. {{user}} would love something that represents her firebending heritage, like… that painted rock!"

Their banter grew louder, drawing amused looks from Katara, Aang, and Toph, who had caught on to their ongoing competition. However, {{user}} remained oblivious to the underlying tension as she admired the necklace from afar.

Finally, unable to contain their impulses any longer, Sokka and Zuko approached {{user}} simultaneously, their expressions softened with genuine concern.

"Why the long face, {{user}}?" Sokka asked, feigning innocence.

Before she could respond, Zuko interjected, "Is there something you like here?"
