Chapter 1 Sokka's House
AN: Hello all this is my third trip into the world of Avatar Fan Fiction, and whilst my two previous ones were focused on Azula this one will focus on Sokka. It will mostly be a humorous (I hope at least) Aang Sokka and Toph friendship piece. The title of the story is based on one of my favorite little moments in the series at the end of The Earth King episode. I hope you enjoy, and I always welcome reviews both positive and negative, and lastly I do not own Sokka or any of the avatar universe.
Sokka woke up at about dawn on Sunday morning, and Suki begged him to stay in bed but he was just too excited to stay asleep any longer. He was pumped as he expected his best friend in the world the Avatar Aang to be coming to his simple house on Kiyoshi Island sometime around lunch. They had spent just about everyday together while the war was going on but now that the war had been over for about fifteen months they hardly saw each other as being heroes of the war they were both very busy. This upcoming week though Sokka was going to the southwest Earth Kingdom to participate in a non bending sword/misc weapons tournament. Aang agreed to take a full week off from his avatar duties to accompany him so they could spend some man time together.
Sokka now spent most of his time with his girlfriend who he lived with most of the time Suki. The only other people he spent a lot of time with were his sister Katara and his father Hakoda. He quickly ate some jerky that he had for breakfast and went into his backyard to work on his sword forms. After about an hour his sister, who had been visiting for the past two days came out and sat down in a chair and said, "Looking good brother, you're sure to not embarrass yourself too badly." Sokka replied "Aww c'mon Katara why are you being mean to me this morning." She just laughed and said "I guess I'm just jealous, somehow you managed to talk my boyfriend into going away for a week vacation with you. He hasn't done that for me since we first got together."
Sokka laughed back and said "Well everyone always knew that I got all the looks in the family." Katara just made an angry sound and then shot a load of water out of the little fountain in the backyard at him. He was splashed and then said "Hey Katara no bending at me in my own house." She stood up and said as she walked off "Go back to playing with your little stick I'm gonna go talk to Suki who I really came to visit." Sokka turned back and returned to practicing his sword forms.
He continued his training for about another forty-five minutes and then walked into his house to see Suki and Katara sitting at the table. He walked up and kissed Suki softly on the lips and said "Morning sweety" she smiled at him and said "Ughh Sokka take a bath, you were out there for hours." He just leaned in and kissed her again as he said "Oh c'mon you know you like me all hot and sweaty." Katara made retching noises and Suki blushed a little as she replied "Sokka not in front of your sister." as she punched him in the arm. He just smiled and laughed.
Katara looked at him and said "So why can't I come again." Sokka sat down next to Suki and sighed, "Because it's a mantrip no girls allowed." Katara said "But that's not even true, Toph is coming." Sokka laughed and said "Toph doesn't count as a girl, she might be more manly than me and she certainly is manlier than Aang." Suki laughed as she could see the smoke coming out of Katara's ears. Suki then said "He wanted me too come along too, but I told him I couldn't because we had to train the new recruits this week, so then he decided Aang couldn't bring you, and you know Aang he always listens to your brother." Katara looked angrily at Sokka and was about to scream when they all heard Appa land outside.
Sokka hopped out of his chair and ran out the door to meet Aang. He stepped outside and saw the bald tattooed monk that was his best friend hopping down from his giant bison. Sokka ran up and held out his hand for the traditional water tribe handshake which Aang acccepted, but that quickly turned into a hug. They broke apart after about twenty seconds as they heard Suki say loudly "Sometimes Katara I think our boyfriends like each other more than they like us." Katara laughed and smiled at Aang. Aang then ran over to Katara and pulled her into a deep kiss and said as they broke apart "Katara I'm so glad you are here to see us off."
He then hugged Suki and said "Nice to see you again Suki" Suki replied "Come on in Aang let's get you something to eat." He said "Hold up a sec I've got a surprise in Appa's saddle for Sokka." Sokka clapped his hands and said "Ooh I love presents." Aang hopped back onto Appa and looked around for about a minute and said "I looked all around the world for this and had to use all my pull as the avatar to get it and Sokka I'm sure you'll love it, close your eyes and hold out your hands." Sokka made an excited noise and did a little dance as he held his hands out. Aang pulled a sheathed sword out and dropped it in Sokka's hand.
He opened his eyes and pulled the dark gray space sword out of it's sheath as he said "Holy crap Aang, where did you find it." He pulled the avatar into a bone crushing hug a huge grin on his face and said "That's the best present I've ever gotten Aang." He just replied "Well now you had better win this tournament, no excuses." Sokka turned around to Suki and pulled his sword out again and said, "Did you see Suki, I got it back, it's awesome." He ran over to her and picked her up and swung her around happily, kissing her hard as he put her back down on the ground.
Katara walked up to Aang and hugged him and said "Wow Aang that was great that you found it for him I've never seen him that happy." Aang kissed her and said "If only I could make his sister that happy." She smiled at him and said "Don't worry Avatar you do everyday." They kissed again this time deeper and Sokka screamed "Hey Aang just because you got me this awesome gift still doesn't mean you can break Sokka's house rule #1 no kissing my sister for more than ten seconds." There lips broke apart and Aang said meekly "Sorry Sokka."
Suki punched Sokka in the arm and said "Be nice Sokka or there will be no action for you for a week." He stuck his tongue out at Suki and said "No problem I'm going to be gone for a week, plus I'll get all the action I need from Toph." as he winked at her. Suki laughed at him and said "Haha I think I might just tell Toph you said that, and let her deal with you." Sokka look scared and said, "Please Suki you can't be that mean." She kept laughing and said "Let's all head in and enjoy a quick celebration before you two take off." The four friends went in the house as Suki made Aang a salad for lunch and Sokka finished packing his bags for the trip. Both boys kissed their girlfriends goodbye before they hopped on the back of Appa.
Aang waved to Katara from the back of his bison and said "Yip, Yip" as the bison took off into the air. Sokka put his head back and lay in the saddle as Aang was sitting on Appa's head. Sokka said, "You had better be ready to let loose and have some fun Aang." Aang smiled back at him and said, "I'm always ready for that Sokka." Sokka laughed and said "We're getting some cactus juice, can't wait to see you and Toph on that stuff, it's a real trip." Aang said "Well I promised Katara I wouldn't let you talk me into anything too crazy." Sokka laughed at him and said "Oh boy Aang, you always make promises you can't keep, we both know you always listen to me and go for my ideas." Aang swallowed hard and said, "Yea I know Sokka, but Katara doesn't know." Sokka just laughed and said, "She knows Aang, she definitely knows. I'm going to take a nap wake me up when we get to Toph's." Aang said "Will do boss" then Sokka closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
