Okay everyone, this is my first re-done chapter. Thanks for sticking around. Not too much has changed, I'm just fixing things, making it more me, you know?
If you're a new reader, never mind that.
Disclaimer: I own Mike and Brian.
Just kidding.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Have you ever wanted something so badly, that it just happened? Yah, I didn't think so.
I'm the kind of person that doesn't really wish for things, just silently craves them until it hurts. That why I'm sitting here, wondering, 'How badly must I have wanted this?'. When did the holy god of teenage girls' wishes decide that that specific wish was the one he was going to grant for me? Because, with a title like that, he's probably a pretty busy guy, why bother with my secret desires?
What was my secret wish, you ask?
Find out for yourself, you lazy bastard.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Remind me again why we're out here?" She whines for the tenth time, expecting a different answer.
"Because hiking is fun!" I say, trying to convince myself at this point. I can feel my face heating up. Whether it's from anger or embarrassment, I'm not sure.
"But Alice, we've been hiking for two hours now, I want to stop!" She puts extra emphasis on the word hiking, and I can see her eyebrows go down in a grimace. I'm not going to try and deny it anymore. We're not hiking, we're lost, and I want to stop too.
"We need to find the camp site again, I'm sorry." She doesn't seem happy.
"God dammit! How in the hell did we get so lost? We were at the fucking campsite and you just had to go look around and 'observe nature', we didn't even get a chance to put all our stuff down and set up our tents before you dragged us out here! Now it's almost dark! This is all your fault!" Wow. That hurt.
She's my best friend, I adore her, and she's right. This is all my stupid fault.
"Okay, you set up camp here, and I'll go find us some more water." I turn and head straight off the trail, ignoring the fact that I'm not the one carrying the canteens. As soon as I'm out of her sight, I let the tears fall. I know it's my fault, I know we're lost, and I have no idea what to do. Running away isn't going to solve anything, and I know it, but this is one of those times when you don't listen to yourself and act like a child. God I hate myself.
The dark forest around me blurs as tears fill my eyes. I try to ignore this and start walking faster. I eventually start running. 'Why am I doing this? This is stupid, I have to go back.' As usual, I don't listen to my voice of reason as I push harder into the blurry darkness.
Suddenly I feel my foot come into contact with something really hard.
You know that moment when you realize you're falling, but can't do anything about it? That's the last thing I thought before my life changed forever.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"I think she's dead."
"Sokka! Stop it!"
"What are we going to do Katara?"
"I don't know Aang. We could try and bring her to the village that man was talking about, since we were going to go and see aunt Wu anyway.."
I slowly start to open my eyes. I look around for the people I hear around me.
"Hey look, she not dead!" My eyes shoot open and I sit up, nearly banging my head against Katara's. What am I saying? I can't physically come in contact with a cartoon character... but she's right in front of me. I look down at my body. I have a thin black outline, as well as everything around me. Time to scream and possibly wet my pants a little.
"Don't worry! We're not going to hurt you!" says Aang as he holds up his open palms.
"Aang? Katara? Sokka?" I barely manage to say between breaths, staring at each of them as I say their names. They're here, they're really here. This is unbelievable, am I dead? I start to hyperventilate.
"How do you know our names?" Interjects Sokka, making an overly exaggerated expression.
"Are you feeling okay? We found you just lying here." Katara asks with a concerned expression on her face. Typical Katara. Her words do calm me down slightly. As I calm down, I notice that that Toph isn't with them. This must be before they get to the north pole, that would also explain all the Aunt Wu talk... that was one of my favourite episodes. Oh wait, they're all my favourite episodes.
"Where am I?" The area around me looks so unfamiliar, which may be because I was running around in the dark. Or because I'm now in a freaking cartoon.
"Don't worry, you're safe with us." Says Aang, still not coming a too close.
"I know I'll be safe with you, you're the avatar. Even though I don't really need protecting seeing as this is a dream." It must be right? Of course it is. I've dreamt of being a cartoon before. Everyone has.
"What? This isn't a dream, but you are right, I am the avatar. How did you know?" Seeing as this is a dream,(I obviously don't believe him) and I appear to have control over it, I decide to have a little fun.
"I know lots about all of you, actually. You two are brother and sister," I say as I point at Katara and Sokka. "you're the avatar, but right now you can only bend air well, and Katara is teaching you water bending. Even though she is just a beginner herself, which is why you are all going to the North Pole. So that both you and Katara can master water bending. OH, and you can't bend." I point a finger at Sokka, who purses his lips and puts his hands on his hips.
"That's nothing, you probably just heard that about us, we are pretty famous." As Sokka says the last few words, he turns to the side slightly, and gives me a goofy grin.
"You're probably right Sokka, she's just pulling our legs." Says Aang, still a little nervous.
"if I say something only you guys would know, will you accept the fact that I am all-knowing?"
"Sure, I guess. But what would you possibly know?" Aang said, slightly paranoid. I give him the hand signal to come closer. He reluctantly obeys. I whisper something in his ear that may have something do with possible affections he could have for a certain water bender. His face goes red as a tomato and he jumps back from me about 2 meters, no doubt aided by his air bending.
"T-that's a rumour too!" He blurts out, trying to convince me. I smile wickedly. I quickly drop the expression as I think of something I could say that would convince them.
"Sokka, you kissed Suki, the Kyoshi warrior," Sokka didn't get quite as red as Aang, but he was close. "and Katara, you stole that water bending scroll from those pirates!" Suddenly Katara smiles widely and says excitedly,
"You're aunt Wu aren't you? The fortune teller from the village nearby!"
" Uh, no. I would love to go with you guys to go and see her though! She might be able to tell what's happened, and how to fix it." I quietly add, "and maybe how to wake up..." because I don't want Aang to know I didn't believe him. Why do I care, anyway? This is just a dream. Right?
"Sure, you can come. Although I wouldn't really expect much from some wacky fortune teller" Sokka waves is his hand as if physically brushing the topic aside. I think I may have gotten on his bad side. Katara glares at him and he does it right back. I can't help but giggle. This should be fun.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
