Sokka pov
DINNER TIME
Everybody is sitting around the campfire eating dinner. Suki smiles at Sokka as she sits down next to him.
Sokka smiles at her and leans close to her and whispers", Zuko says he will come with us. Even when I told him that Katara is coming along. Did you talk to Katara about it?"
Suki smiles, and hesitates," Yes, and she told me that she'd come."
Sokka smiles with triumph as he starts a little victory dance that he thinks only him and Suki can see. Maybe this will work after all and we can get Zuko and Katara to get along! Sokka thinks as the group stares at Sokka and Suki turns away.
"Sokka, what are you doing?" Hakoda asks his son concerned.
Sokka stops and looks around nervously", Oh. You know just stretchin' out the ole' muscles." He says pretending to stretch out his legs.
Suki smiles, and giggles as everyone else turns back to their recent conversations. Sokka sighs and looks at Suki.
Suki leans over and whispers in Sokka's ear," But…I didn't quite tell her how Zuko is coming with…"
"YOU WHAT?!" Sokka spases as everyone looks back at Sokka.
Aang looks at him concerned," Sokka are you sure you're okay?"
Sokka sighs. Maybe this plan won't work out after all. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just hungry."
"Aren't you always?" Toph asks as she spills into her food. Everyone giggles on that comment.
"Whatever." He mumbles under his breath. Everyone else goes back to what they were doing before. He turns back to Suki and whispers," How do we deal with this now?"
Suki thinks for a second and smiles. "If she loves me enough she'll go through it. Katara has a big heart. Remember how you told me how she told you she'll never turn her back on people who need her?" Sokka nods. "Then we have nothing to worry about."
Sokka nods and kisses Suki," You're so smart." Suki replies with a simple smile and goes back to eating her food, but as Sokka continues eating his food he stops and wonders. Will Katara really be that nice? She may have second opinions about it when Zuko is around. After what happened back in Ba Sing Se. What did happen? I'll ask Katara that later…
Every finishes their food and left Katara with another night of work to do, but this time Sokka stays around to figure out what happened.
"Katara?" Sokka asks nicely.
"What, is it Sokka?" She asks while doing the dishes in the fountain.
"What happened in Ba Sing Se? Aang told me something happened but never…."
"I don't want to talk about it," Katara says simply and continues on what she was doing.
"Oh, come on it can't be that bad," Sokka continues nagging Katara.
"Sokka. No. You ask one more time and you ARE sleeping with an ice case around your body. Okay. I'm not in the mood for it." She says as she turns around at Sokka dish out of hand and her hand bending water above his head.
"Okay! Okay!" Sokka blurts out his thought. "But if you want to talk about it I'm here."
Katara nods and finishes up her dishes quickly while Sokka hurries out of there.
Katara pov
MID-DAY THE NEXT DAY
Katara walks around the air-temple figuring out what to bring. What is absolutely necessary? If I'm the only bender along then I'll probably need to carry around a lot of water… Katara looks down at her pouch. …but my pouch won't be enough. Hmmm. Well Suki is strong enough to defend herself… Although, Sokka does now have his sword. He isn't too defenseless. Hmmm. I'm not quite sure what to do. Katara's wondering brings her to the fountain and she sits down. Maybe I won't need too much water… Katara looks down at the water and smiles. I should bring some just to be safe though. Maybe Suki would have an Idea on where I could put more water I wouldn't want to bring a barrel like we did on our invasion plan though. Katara sighs and then plays around with the water. Bending it in the air, and into a ball. Making the water dance before her. She takes a deep breath and freezes the water into ice and then melts it while still having it dance for her. I love these moments they are so peaceful and no one bugs…
"Katara?" A rough low familiar voice says behind her, as she feels a hand on her shoulder. Katara jumps at her own name thinking no one else was around. She turns around quickly as her water falls from her jumping.
Zuko? What does he want now… She thinks annoyed and angry.
"What do you want Zuko?" She asks angrily.
"I wanted to talk to you about the journey tonight." Zuko asks as nice as possible.
Katara stiffens, "What trip?" Katara asks in a fake tone like she doesn't know.
Zuko blinks at her confused," Sokka's and Suki's trip to save the Kyoshi warriors? Sokka told me you were coming along."
Katara looks at him angrily. "What do you mean?! Suki told me that it's just going to be Sokka, Suki, and me. I even asked Suki if anyone else is coming and she said NO!"
Zuko looks at her a little annoyed, "No, Sokka invited me along. Since I know the Fire Nation, and I'm a fire bender. They thought that you'd be helpful too. Then he told me not to tell anyone and since they said you are involved too. I thought I'd talk to you about it."
Katara looks at him furious now," Oh REALLY? Well LET'S GO TALK TO SUKI! SEE IF THIS ISN'T JUST SOME BIG MISSUNDERSTANDING AND FOR YOUR SAKE WE'LL TALK TO SOKKA TOO!" She grabs his arm and pulls him towards Sokka's and Suki's hang out place that Suki told her about.
Katara mutters at Sokka and Suki in a frustrated tone," We need to talk NOW!" Sokka and Suki look at each other like they are confused but Katara could see that they looked worried too. They all went into a quiet room nearby far away from the others. Then Katara picked up where she left off," ZUKO here JUST came up to me and told me HE was coming along. Can SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN to ME what IS GOING ON?!"
Suki puts a hand on Katara's shoulder, and in a calm voice tells her," I really want to rescue the Kyoshi warriors and we thought that if you and Zuko both came along then we'd have a fire bender who could help us navigate through the fire nation and a water bender who could heal whoever may get hurt and help us."
Katara looks at her angrily," Why did you lie to me thought?!" She looks at Sokka and Suki for answers.
This time Sokka answered," We need you both and we knew that if you would have found out that Zuko was coming along we wouldn't have you for the mission. Suki really wants you along to help, and we need you. We also thought that you dislike Zuko so much as to ignore people that need you."
Katara calmed down but was still angry inside about how they lied to her. "Sokka, when someone needs me I'll help them. No matter if one of the people there is Prince Hot-Flame over there."
Zuko eyes narrow," Hey! I helped Sokka save your father doesn't that count for something?!"
Katara looks down at the floor. It does but…No! Katara remember what he has done to you in the past! Don't make that mistake again! Katara ignored him and continued. "I'll come as long as HE stays out of my way." She says angrily.
Suki smiles big, and throws her arms around her," THANK YOU KATARA! This means a lot to me!"
Katara smiles and hugs Suki back," Anytime, Suki."
Sokka walks over to Zuko, and says something in his ear and they walk out together. Suki lets go of Katara and Katara does the same. "Katara?"
Katara looks at Suki curiously," Yeah?"
"Can you please try and get along with Zuko? At least around Sokka and me? If you two keep this up we'll end up on the Fire Lord's dinner plate the next time you two argue."
"I'll try, Suki. It may not work though."
Suki looks at Katara seriously, and sighs. "I guess that's all I can ask for."
They walk out together talking about everything they need to leave for their journey, as Aang comes around the corner.
"Hey Katara!" Aang says in his usual happy up-beat voice.
Katara smiles," Hey Aang. Aren't you supposed to be training with Toph?"
Aang looks at her curiously," I'm done… We're supposed to start water bending now. Sea foo Katara" He gives her a low bow, and laughs as he mentions her title.
Katara laughs in return," Okay, pupil Aang. I'll meet you at the fountain. I've got to talk to Suki really quick."
Aang smiles and bows real quick," Okay." Then he zooms off on his air scooter as Suki and Katara laugh at how silly Aang is.
"Katara, remember to meet us at the river after everyone is asleep okay?" Suki says as Katara and Suki finish their conversation.
Katara smiles sweetly at Suki now that she forgot how they lied to her," Ok. Don't forget what I told you." Suki nods and they go their separate ways.
Aang laughs as he forms a water ball on the ground and then tries to jump on it as Momo flew down towards Aang. Aang falls and laughs at how silly he must look. Katara laughs, and Aang looks at Katara noticing she arrived.
"Hey Katara!" Aang air bends him self up to a standing position.
Katara laughs," Hey Aang! Are you ready for some water bending?" Katara asks as she pulls some water out ready to fight.
Aang nods but then looks at her curiously," Katara what were you talking about with Suki?"
Katara looks at him confused and then laughs at how he came around the corner when Suki and her where talking to cover it up," Oh! She told me how funny she thinks Sokka is and I just told her some stories." Katara smiles at Aang happily.
Aang looks at her confused," Why did you ask her about something to carry your water in for fighting?" Aang asks confused.
Katara stiffens. Oh no! How much did he hear?! Maybe I should just tell him.
Katara shakes her head. She smiles and forces herself to relax," I just wanted to know if she thought I should start carrying around something more than my skin of water. You know just in case something happens."
Aang looks at her curiously," What do you mean? We ARE in an air temple. I don't think the fire nation is going to get us."
Katara looks at the sky. Dang! Uhhhh… That's a good question! Katara shifts onto her right side and looks at Aang as he waited for her to respond. Has anyone that doesn't…wait!
"But what about Zuko?" Katara asks remembering he used a war balloon to get to them. "He used a balloon to get to us. Didn't he? So he MUST of gotten it from the Fire Nation. I mean WE didn't bring a war balloon when we invaded them, right?"
Aang shrugs," I guess so." Katara smiles at him and quickly splashes some water on him. Aang laughs and splashes her back and they get back into practicing water bending.
Does Aang secretly know what they're all planning? How will their plan go? Find out in the next chapter!! Remember: 'Keep the comments coming. I look forward to your opinions mean or not it just tells me that I need to improve. Or that's how I try to see it ) ' Thank you for reading )
