Sandy was having lunch with Ty Lee in the Firenation. It was a couple of weeks before the wedding and Sandy figured she knew what this was about. It was either about the maid of honor position or she wanted Wei to be the ring bearer.
Ty Lee: Sandy, the reason I wanted you up here to have lunch with you is because I was wondering if you would be the maid of honor.
Sandy: Aw Ty Lee I'm honored but what about Mai?
Ty Lee: Well, when I told her I'd be moving out because I was getting married, she got mad at me.
Sandy: Why?
Ty Lee: I don't know. And when I told her I was engaged she got this sour look on her face. Maybe she thought she'd be the one pulling off her nobleman's daughter duties and I'd be the one alone at the circus, except Mai's not at the circus, she's a guard.
Sandy: Well, I'm sorry things with Mai didn't work out but thanks for the spot. I'm surprised though, you've been friends with Mai way longer than you've been friends with me.
Ty Lee: True, but I wanted to be friends with you.

Eight-year-old Sandy was outside feeding the turtle ducks with eight-year-old Zuko. Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee strolled past them. Ty Lee waved at them.
Ty Lee: Hi Sandy! Hi Zuko!
Azula: Hmmm Sandy...I forget, do we like her?
Ty Lee: I do. She's fun.
Azula: EEEEEEEEH! Wrong answer.
Ty Lee: *sigh* ok....
-
Sandy: Awww you liked me?
Ty Lee: Yeah. Oh, and I am so sorry I kidnapped you that one time. Azula made me do it.
Sandy: Yeah that seems to be my kidnappers' motto.
Ty Lee: Yeah, I tried to talk Azula out of that too.
-
Azula carelessly tossed an unconscious Sandy into the war balloon and started it up. Ty Lee jumped in behind her.
Ty Lee: Azula, are you sure about this?
Azula: Of course. My foolish brother always used to stick up for her. I don't see why he wouldn't now.
Ty Lee: No, I mean, Sandy isn't even involved in this little rivalry you've got going here.
Azula: Little rivalry?! Ty Lee, this is hardly a "little rivalry." This is dead serious.
Ty Lee: Ok, but we don't even know why she's there. What if she's there because she has a terminal disease and she wanted to spend her last days with her friends?
Azula: Well, that's too bad for her. She's spending her last days with us whether she has a disease or not.
Ty Lee: Don't you think resorting to kidnapping innocent bystanders is a little extreme?
Azula: Well, then it's her fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Peasants don't belong as guests in the palace anyway.
-
Sandy: UH! She said that?
Ty Lee: Yeah...sorry.
Sandy: Not that I'd ever wish something bad on someone but at least she's dead.
Ty Lee: So, will you be my maid of honor?
Sandy: Sure Ty Lee.
-
Ty Lee opened the door to her apartment, which she used to share with Sandy.
Ty Lee: I'm serious, it's that dirty. There are socks hanging everywhere. I don't even know if they're clean sock, they're just hanging.
Sandy: I have to see this.
Sandy ran into Lee's room which used to be Ty Lee's before Sandy moved and she switched.
Sandy: WHAO! It's like a girl never lived in here!!
Ty Lee: I know, I've seen it.
Sandy: This is what I imagine the inside of my head to look like.
Ty Lee: Me too.
Sandy: What is that smell?
Ty Lee: We're not sure. The lab tests haven't come back yet.
Sandy came out of the room wide eyed.
Sandy: I will never be able to sleep again.
Ty Lee: You opened a drawer?
Sandy: Yeah.
Ty Lee: Which one?
Sandy: Underwear.
Ty Lee: Oh, sorry.
Sandy: Don't worry, my years of doing the palace laundry has prepared me for this. Example: Ninja Turtleduck briefs.
Ty Lee: OMG! 
Sandy: Hey, wanna hear a funny story about Lee?
Ty Lee: Sure.
Sandy: Ok, it was after the summer I turned 13 and he had been gone all summer...

Xiaoyu met Lee by the palace door. It was the first day of school and they went to the palace so that they could go with Zuko. Lee had big fake mustache on his face.
Xiaoyu: Hey Lee, is that a mustache?
Lee: You mean the one on my face? Do you like it?
Xiaoyu: Sure, it's just that when I saw you yesterday, you didn't have one...
Lee: Hey Xi, I know we are childhood friends and all but you're just going have to accept that I am old enough now to...buy my own hair.
Xiaoyu: Is that thing supposed to help you get girls.
Lee: Come on Xi, I've got a lot more on my mind than just...girl. Girl! GIRL! RIGHT THERE! RIGHT THERE!
Xiaoyu turned around and saw Sandy walking down the hall and disappearing behind a corner.
Xiaoyu: You mean Sandy?
Lee: No, that can't be...can you talk to her for me?
Xiaoyu: You like her now? I seem to remember you blaming a fire on her.
Lee: Well, she wasn't as hot then.
Xiaoyu: Oh fine.
Xiaoyu called down the hall for Sandy. She came right right back to them.
Sandy: What? What do you want?
Xiaoyu: Lee wants to check out your rack.
Sandy: What? :X
Lee: She's kidding. I just wanted to say hi........so, hi......sooooo...new dress?
Sandy: Yeah, I got it over the summer.
Lee: Really? Summer was very good to you.
Sandy noticed that Lee couldn't stop staring at her chest.
Sandy: Yeah well at least what I grew was real.
Sandy reached up and ripped off his fake mustache. Xiaoyu bust into hysterics.

Ty lee: That's hilarious!

Back in the southern water tribe, Sokka had just given Wei his first boomerang lesson.
Sokka: Just press the towel to your leg until the healer gets here. Maybe it'll stop the bleeding.
Yeah, it didn't go so well. Wei was sitting by the fire, pressing a half white/half red towel to his wound. Sokka was on the floor trying to scrub the blood out of the white carpet. Then Yue came down the stairs.
Yue: What's going on?
Sokka: Well, I tried to give Wei his 1st boomerang lesson and...
Yue: I thought mom told you he wasn't ready. Hey, what's that stain on the carpet?
Sokka: Well... just a little bit of Wei's blood...
Yue: Mom's gonna kill you!
Sokka: I know which is why you have to help me get the stain out and get Wei's leg to stop bleeding before she gets...
They heard the front door open and Sandy calling for them.
Sandy: Hey guys! I'm home! Guess what! Ty Lee wants me to be her maid of honor!
When Sandy appeared in the door way, Sokka threw himself on the stain, hoping she wouldn't see it.
Sandy: Sokka!! Is there a stain on the carpet?!!!
Sokka: Well...kind of...
Sandy: And is Wei hurt?!! What did you do?!! I leave for one weekend and all hel breaks loose!!!

Because of Ty Lee's wedding, the gang was gathered at the firepalace. The girls were eating breakfast when Ty Lee burst in. She had garment bags draped over her arms.
Ty Lee: Hi bridesmaids! I've got your dresses right here.
Sandy: Great, let's see them.
Ty lee handed out the garment bags. The girls unzipped them and peeked inside.
Xiaoyu: *gasp* Look Sandy, it's...it's purple taffeta; shiny purple taffeta.
Toph: Wow, I can feel the size of that bow.
Sandy: *whispering* Kat, you wanna help me fix these?
Katara: *whispering* yeah, I'll meet you tonight in the library.
Ty Lee: If you like those, just wait till u see my dress.
Xiaoyu: I can hardly wait.
Ty Lee: By the way Xi, you know I still have no one to give me away. I was wondering if you could convince Zuko to do it.
Xi: Well, why Zuko?
Ty Lee: Well, after I got out of jail, you guys were nice to me...
Xi: Yeah, Sandy made us.
Sandy gave her a quick you-weren't-supposed-to-tell pinch on the elbow.
Ty Lee: And he gave me a job when I couldn't find one.
Xiaoyu: Well, I guess I could convince him...hmm this could be fun. I just got this new chocolate-scented moisturizer I could try out on him.
-
Sandy, Katara, and Xiaoyu were in the library in the middle of the night trying to transform their ugly bruises into festive grapes at the least. Toph was there too but she didn't sew so there wasn't much she could do to help.
Xiaoyu: You know, it's usually me, Zuko, or Aang who gets us into messes but this time it's all Sandy's fault.
Sandy: What? Did I pick the puffy bow that can be seen from space?
Xiaoyu: You didn't have to make friends with Ty Lee.
Sandy: Well sorry. She was living in my apartment. What was I supposed to do?
Xiaoyu: Not turn it into a life-long friendship.
Sandy: Someone's cranky because they have to wear a bow.
Xiaoyu: Can you blame me? This stupid dress makes my butt look like a birthday present!
Sandy: Shh what if she hears you.
Ty Lee: Hears what? And what are you doing to the dresses?
Ty Lee appeared in the doorway wearing a robe and slippers.
Sandy: Well, um...we wanted to make sure the bows were sewn on extra tight.
Ty Lee: Ok.
Sandy: What are you doing up?
Ty Lee: I couldn't sleep. I'm just nervous, I guess.
Xiaoyu: Well, that's common. You're about make a huge commitment.
Ty Lee: *gulp* how huge?
Xiaoyu: Well, pretty huge. It's like the hugest commitment you can make next to having kids.
Sandy: Xi, shut up, you're scaring her. It is huge, Ty Lee, but it's also wonderful. You're announcing your love to the whole world.
Xiaoyu: And promising to be together forever...
Xiaoyu hugged the skirt of her dress dreamily to her face until the tulle scratched her cheek.
Katara: And saying that you wouldn't want to be with anyone else...
Everyone looked at Toph waiting for input. She just shrugged and picked her teeth.
Toph: What? You know I'm not one for the sappy speeches. Ok, so yeah it's like getting picked first for dodge ball and you're picking him first too...except no one wears dresses to a dodge ball game.

The ceremony was held the next day in the palace garden. Xiaoyu did convince Zuko to give Ty Lee away. The girls got rid of a few of their ruffles but they couldn't do much since Ty Lee practically caught them altering their dresses. Ty Lee's dress was even more bow-y and ruffley but Ryo didn't care. He thought she was beautiful no matter what. Surprisingly, Toph cried at the wedding (she'd find out later that she was pregnant with her 1st child.) Then it was time for the vows.
Ty Lee: Ryo, my whole life I've gone through boy like tissue. It wasn't until my friends started getting married when I realized I wanted that. I would day dream about this moment; when I was standing up here saying my vows, I wondered who I would be saying them to. I am so glad that I am saying them to you. I wouldn't have it any other way. If all the guys in the world were lined up in front of me, and I had to pick one, I'd pick you.
Ryo: I didn't know what I wanted until later in my life. I did find out that wanted someone to love. And when it turned out to be you, I couldn't believe how lucky I got. I know this is really simple, but it says it all; I love you.
