Hello all! This is my first fanfic, so I hope it turns out well…

Sokka lay on his back, staring at the ceiling. It had been only about 2 weeks since he had seen Suki last, but already he wanted to see her again. He replayed their goodbye in his head, smiling at the thought, but also saddened that he didn't know when he was going to be able to talk to her again.
Why don't I go visit her? He thought to himself.
All I have to do is take the ferry… what am I thinking? They'd never let me out of the city without an escort, which is the last thing I want. Besides, I don't have a passport, and I definitely won't be let on the ferry without one. He got up, and walked into the garden. He sat down on a bench, and sighed. Another sigh came, as if in response. Sokka jumped, startled, and then,
"Aang, what are you doing out here?"
"Oh, hi Sokka!" Aang jumped off a tree branch high above Sokka's head, and landed lightly a few steps away.
Showoff. Sokka rolled his eyes.
"I didn't see you come out here… guess I was too absorbed in my own thoughts." Aang put on an obviously fake grin. Sokka put down his boomerang with a rather sheepish look. He had been brandishing it since he had heard the mysterious sigh that turned out to be Aang.
"Is… something wrong Aang?" He asked. Aang was quick to respond.
"No, I'm totally fine! Yep, doing great! What about you?"
"What, me?" Sokka puffed out his chest, feigning confidence. "I'm doing great!" Aang raised his eyebrows.
"I dunno Sokka, you looked pretty down to me…" He said, seemingly nonchalant.
"Well, what about you, with your sighs, and fake smiles?" Sokka said, annoyed by Aang's casual air.
"You were sighing too!" Aang remarked, his smile now genuine. He enjoyed getting Sokka worked up, sometimes his voice cracked. Realizing that Sokka was still going on about something, he interjected.
"Sokka, there is obviously something bothering both of us."
"Yeah, hadn't figured that one out," Sokka grumbled, annoyed that Aang had interrupted him mid-rant.
"I think I know what's bothering you," Aang said in a sing-song voice.
"Oh yeah? What?" Sokka said, challenging him.
"It's Suki," He said, with a hint of a self-satisfied tone. "You miss her." Sokka blushed, and stammered,
"What? That's not true!"
"You know it is, or you wouldn't have blushed so much," Aang said.
"Fine," Sokka said grudgingly. "I miss her. I just… feel like I didn't get enough time to talk to her…" There was only one answer, in Aang's opinion.
"Then go see her," He suggested. "It's clear you really like her. I'll help you get to Full Moon Bay."
"And just how are you going to do that?" Sokka asked smugly.
"Don't worry, I have a plan," Aang said, smiling. There was a hint of evil in that smile, Sokka thought.
"Okay… hey, you never told me what was bothering you," Sokka said, in an accusatory tone.
"I like a girl," Aang said, and with that, began to walk back into the house.
"Hey!" Sokka yelled at Aang's retreating back. "It's not my sister, is it?" Aang smiled to himself, and went inside. Sokka went into the house as well, and soon fell asleep, wondering what Aang was planning.
That was the first chapter. Hope you liked it! Please rate and review, I would like to know what you thought of the story so far…
