Quote Me, Will Ya?
Chapter One: My name is Sammy! Now, what can I do for you?
Okay, lemme backtrack. I think I was watching Avatar, I starting yelling at Sokka for being so stupid, then there was some large black reaper that popped out and pointed at me… a dark swirly pitch blackness… and there was a weird little bunny that was screaming, 'I'M LATE!'…? And a large explosion and some cheese in there too? I don't know. I screamed in confused and slammed my head against the tree. Surprisingly, it fell. And surprisingly, I was chased down by a group of farmers with pitchforks saying I just smashed their car.
I didn't know there were cars in Avatar.
After running for HOURS, actually seconds, on end, and escaping the farmers' angry clutches I looked at the time. I realized I had no clock, and if I had to look at the sun for time, I'd most likely guess that it's morning, but it's really evening. Can I just give up and call myself crazy? I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Excuse me."
I swirled around, ready to defend myself from more farmers with pitchforks. Did I mention they had torches too? I swear, it was crazy! Anyway, back to when I swirled around and almost threw her to the ground and put her in a headlock. Hey, get that smirk off your face! I so can too do so! It's call SELF DEFENSE!
"Yes?" I replied after I swirled around. I found myself staring into the eyes of one of the people I had crossed off to my 'to meet' list. NO, I'm not talking about Cloud from FF7! I'm talking about Katara from Avatar. I screamed and almost fainted right there.
Katara looked at me with an eyebrow raised and almost looked at me like I needed to be in the wacky shack. She waved her hands in sympathy and said, "Okay, maybe I disturbed you somehow."
I heard Sokka whisper to Aang, "I think that girl needs some mental help." And he did the cuckoo sign!
Wait—AANG IS HERE TOO! "OH MY… FUDGE NUGGET!" I screamed, staring at Aang. "I've ALWAYS wanted to meet you, Aang! I'm so pleased to be in your company!"
I skipped around happily in a circle before I realized I had to gain my composure back. Standing still, I breathed in and out to calm myself down. I slightly bowed and said, "I'm very pleased to be in the presence of you all. My name is Sammy! Now, what can I do for you?"
Everyone was silent. Maybe it was a tad too much of a formality after I had just gone crazy. I smiled happily, showing that I was all right. "I'm sorry, I have never been in the presence of one like you all," I replied. And I was actually telling the truth. Not that I lie THAT often, just a bit here and there. I waited for someone to speak and I was greatly relieved that Katara was the one to speak next.
"We were told by a great fortune teller that we would meet someone special today," Katara said. "And, umm, we were wondering… could you help us find that person? She told us that this person was female… and had great skills in a strange form of ancient bending."
I pointed to myself in surprise. As far as I knew, I could barely run for more than a minute. "You think that's me?" I asked. She shook her head and I felt greatly disappointed.
"Not that I think that it isn't you," Katara quickly replied seeing my sad expression. My friend said I was pretty good with my facial expressions. I guess that was true. "I just don't see you wearing a normal clothing as we did here."
DUH. That's why she didn't have a second thought to it. I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a pretty Chinese design on it. I blend in as well as a green thumb at an only-wear-pink carnival. I sighed and nodded. "I'm not much of a bender anyway," I replied grinning. "I don't have a home either."
"Oh, that's really sad," Sokka said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Katara whacked her brother on the side of the head and scolded him. I watched Aang as he broke the fight up before it could get any worse. Amazing, I have never been in a situation like this. How should I act? Or how shouldn't I act? Why am I confusing myself?
"Ahem," I started, getting everyone's attention. I took a deep breath in, thinking over what I should say before I sounded like I deserved to be in the nut house. Getting somewhat of a grasp of my words, I continued, "I would like to confirm that my being is more likely to sustain its sanity by accompanying your adventurous assembly. If you would so kindly allow myself to become a individual of your group, I would so contentedly adore to help you in whatever you call for."
"Umm, how about saying that again, with a half of the syllables," Aang asked, raising his eyebrow to my large vocabulary. Actually, I read those two sentences in a book and thought they sounded fancy enough. I guess… it was too fancy.
"I'd like to travel with you and I'd be glad to help in whatever I can," I answered, sweatdropping and scratching the back of my head in embarrassment. Momo climbed up onto my shoulder and purred, resting on my head. I smiled happily and Katara smiled also.
"We would be glad to have you join, Sammy. I'm Katara, this is Aang, and this is my wacky brother, Sokka," Katara said, pointing to every person. "Oh, and the monkey on you head is Momo. She seems very calm around you, and I find that new."
"I'm pleased to meet you all," I replied, bowing my head slightly. I felt a slight breeze catch on my face; it felt really nice. A stingy smell caught on my nose. I knew Momo smelt it too since she was lowering her eyes and glaring in the direction of where it was coming from.
"What's wrong, Momo?" Aang asked, staring in the direction the same as Momo. I stood up straight and ran in the direction of where the smell was coming from. It was fire. I was sure of it.
I knew that something was wrong, I could sense it from the trees, and the animals. WAIT A SEC—since when can I sense stuff like that? I screeched to a stop and Momo flew away from the top of my head. I stood there in puzzlement. I felt as if I was one with all around me. OH WELL, I guess it's an anime addition to my senses. Swirling around, I heard a branch crack behind me.
"THE AVATAR MUST'VE GONE THIS WAY, UNCLE!"
Oh jeez, I already know what's comin'.
End of Chapter One: My name is Sammy. Now, what can I do for you?
