Silence.

Nothing but the sound of our breathing. I stare in his direction with pure intensity. My entire life has led up to this moment, and this moment only.

"Ha! You blinked!" I shouted victoriously. "In your face, Snoozles!"

"How can you even tell if I blinked or not!" he asked, totally furious.

"These," I pointed to my feet. "can feel the slightest of vibrations." then I pointed to Sokka's eyelids. "Even those."

I assumed he narrowed his eyes. "That's not fair, though! I demand a rematch!"

I rolled my unseeing eyes. "Sokka, that would be our fourth rematch in a row. I'm beginning to get a little bored."

"You're just scared!"

"Scared? Of what!"

"Scared that I'm going to beat you at your own game!" Sokka said slyly.

I narrowed my eyes. "Oh yeah?" I challenged.

"Yeah!"

I slammed my fist down on the table. "Then bring it on, Captain Boomerang!"

"One, two… three!"

Silence again. Five seconds go by, then ten, then fifteen, then- "Ha! You blinked!" Sokka yelled at me.

I smirked. "I guess I did. You win. I lose. Congratulations, Sokka. You earn full bragging rights for the rest of the month. I got out of my chair and made my way towards the hallway. I could feel the water tribe boy jump out of his chair and dance a little victory dance. I smiled. "Oh Snoozles."


Well, that was my first ATLA story that I decided to publish on here. I dunno... I wanted to do something Tokka-y, and this was it.

Love it, Like it, Hate it? I wanna know ^.^
