*-Hey you guys!! Sorry for the extremely long delays, life's been pretty hectic for me, soo...yeah! Oh, and something I must add, in the last chapter, when the camp counselor made everybody pick their team members, I said the boy with the wheelchair (which was meant for teo) but, I later changed my mind and forgot. So disregard that, because I decided to replace Teo with Haru. I'd like to thank zutarababe for helping my notice that, so thank you!!

Of course, I don't own Avatar or the quote below (thats from Di-Rect's Don't Kill Me Tonight). So stop asking!! haha.

Oh yeah, this chapter focuses on Sokka and Yue's relationship...so yeah.! Anyways, go ahead and read now!! =D

Early, Way Too Early

I would die if you left me/

Drowning in sorrow/

Baby, don't kill me tonight.

Sokka and two others, which he knew now by the names of Haru and Aang, were unpacking things from their bags, setting it aside their newly proclaimed bunk beds. Of course, three of them were in the room at the time, which means there was still a spare bed that wasn't claimed yet. But, they pretty much new who's it was, anyways. It was the creepy, anti-social boy sitting on the steps of their cabin. After Sokka finished unpacking, he saw some things stacked in the far side of their cabin. He walked over to it, pulled it out, and noticed that there were four white bandanas and blue shirts, all with the bubble-like uppercase letters that spelled "TEAM KURUK" around the upper torso area. Sokka looked for the one that was about his size, and half-smiled, mumbling, "Coooooool."

Aang and Haru, curious as to what Sokka was talking about, got off their beds and walked over to Sokka. "Hmm, what's this?" Haru said as he picked up one of the shirts and a bandana, eyeing it closely. Aang, on the other hand, was beaming, and slipped the white bandana on his forehead, some of his short, curly, brown hair falling across it.

"These must be our team clothes," Haru answered himself, throwing the set of things on his bed. The anti-social boy walked inside the cabin, and for some unknown reason, all conversation fell silent, and all eyes wandered to him.

The boy felt everyone's pupils burning through him, and looked up at them. "What?" he demanded, sounding irritated and annoyed. The others in the cabin didn't answer, and he just shook it off. His gaze caught the blue and white pile of things on the other side of the room, and he instantly walked over to them. Sokka moved slightly, as Zuko gather the leftover shirt and bandana in his hand, growling under his breath, 'Damnit, why the hell are these shirts blue? Uh."

Zuko plopped onto his bottom bunkbed, and just lay there for awhile, not even trying to unpack his things. Sokka, Aang, and Haru just looked at each other, not sure of what to do. The room was pretty silent for awhile, at least until Aang broke the ice. "So......um......well......what's your name?" he said, and looked over at the anti-social kid.

He didn't say anything, until he suddenly felt their eyes on him again, and then he looked over at the smaller boy and said, "You were talking to me?"

Aang nodded his head slightly, and waited for him to answer. "Zuko," he said simply. Aang opened his mouth again to say something else, but a bell went off loudly, interrupting him before he got a chance to speak.

"Guess it's time to eat!" Sokka said, hurridly getting off his bed and leaving the cabin. He followed all the other kids going to the cafeteria-like cabin. There were alot of people outside, which made Sokka wonder. How are there, like, fifty kids out here but just a minute ago, none of them were even around? he thought, bumping into some people as he made his way to the doors. Katara and one of her friends were behind him, but he hadn't yet noticed them, he was too focused on getting some food; all that time in the bus really made him hungry.

Sokka ran up to the shortest line for food and grabbed a tray sitting beside a stack of others. His stomach grumbled hungrily at him as Sokka stood waiting for the line to move, for what seemed like an eternity to him. Leaning on the wall, he suddenly felt someone from behind him tap him on the shoulder, surprising him slightly. He turned around to see his sister, Katara, and a girl with long, flowing white hair standing next to her, a broad smile spread across her face.

"Yeah?" he replied to his sister, all the while staring at the smiling girl beside her. Katara grinned at the love connection already made, and said to her older brother, "So how is camp so far, for the one hour we've been here?"

Sokka caught bits and pieces of what his sister was saying, since his eyes were focused on the mysterious girl before him, and his stomach set on getting some grub. Katara poked her brother again, waiting for a response, as Sokka breathlessly replied, "Huh? Oh, yeah...um, it's great...yeah, great." He rambled on, as he turned around to walk a little further.

Katara rolled her eyes at her brother, and introduced her friend to him, "Anyways, just in case you might ask, my stay's been great. I've already met a couple of friends. Sokka, this is Yue, I just met her and she's really fun to hang out with. Yue, this is Sokka, my crazy older brother."

Yue...Sokka thought over in his head, as he smiled at the girl before him. He moved closer to where the food was sprawled out, and said to Yue, "Why hello, Yue, did I mention you look mighty fine this evening?" Yue giggled at Sokka's talking, and gazed up at his blue eyes. Sokka was glad someone liked his corny jokes, and stood over by Yue, as the line moved further. He looked at Yue, who had blue eyes just like his, and found himself practically staring at her. She's so.......beautiful, he thought to himself. Katara sighed at Sokka, she was obviously used to his random acts of humor.

---------

After going through the line for lunch, Sokka, along with his new female friend, Yue, sat at the wooden table by the door. Katara already left them and walked over to another table, where she sat with some people Sokka hadn't yet gotten a chance to meet. Sokka basically stuffed the grilled-cheese sandwich in his mouth, leaving a baffled Yue to stare at him. He looked at her and tried to smile, but he was still chewing on the load of food he just shoved into his mouth. Yue giggled at Sokka, who managed to finally swallow the sandwich, and looked at her.

"What?" he said, half-smiling at the platinum-blond girl before him. She giggled some more before answering him.

"Do you always eat like that?" she asked, still laughing at him, yet surprised how someone could fit almost a whole sandwich in their mouth and swallow it without a problem.

"Well......only when I'm hungry," he answered, taking a drink from the pint-sized vanilla milk carton. "But, that's pretty much everyday so-" Sokka began, before one of the camp councilors came rushing to their table.

"Yue? You have a call. It's urgent," the councilor said, before taking Yue's hand and dragging her away from the wooden bench. Sokka was left sitting at the table alone, watching as the councilor lead her out of the large room. Yue turned around slightly to wave at Sokka, but she didn't catch him waving back at her, since the camp councilor had her half-way out the door.

A breif moment later and Aang ran up to Sokka, beaming a bright, wide smile. "Haru is planning a campfire party tonight, you coming?" Sokka looked at the younger boy, and nodded his head, before stopping suddenly, "Wait. Will there be s'mores?"

Aang laughed and nodded his head, shouting out as he left the table, "Yes, Sokka, there will be s'mores. Tonight at nightfall! Bring anybody you want!"

----------

Dusk began to approach slowly, the twinkling stars of the night glowing brightly above. Sokka paced back and forth in front of Yue's cabin, thinking over and over again how and if he should ask her to come with him to the campfire. Five minutes passed and still he racked his brain of ways to ask her to join him. He groaned loudly, obviously annoyed that he couldn't think of a single thing to say to her, and sat on the steps leading to her cabin. He layed his head on his palm, his elbow resting on his knee.

A light turned on from inside the cabin, and Sokka heard the creaking sounds of its door being opened. He turned toward the door and out came Yue, wearing a aqua t-shirt with the words 'CAMP AVATAR' sprawled across it in bold white letters, cargo capris pants, and white Nike tennis shoes. Her long, platinum blonde hair was in a high ponytail with two elaborate braids that flowed down to her waist and two portions of her hair hung beside her face, acting as her bang. Sokka practically gawked at the girl, she looked so incredibly stunning.

"Sokka? What are you doing sitting here?" Yue asked, beaming a smile as she flashed Sokka back into reality.

"Uh.....well.....um.....you was like tonight come with Haru's wondering I if me party campfire would to me," he spluttered, confusing Yue. She looked at him, not understanding a word he'd just said.

"I meant....I was wondering if you would like to come with me to Haru's campfire party tonight," he said, slapping his hand on his forehead. Yue giggled a little, then turned to Sokka, still beaming her bright smile.

"Of course I would, Sokka," she said. Sokka looked at her, shocked that she actually said yes, and got up from the wooden step. He put out his hand, and Yue happily rested her hand in his. Sokka was smiling goofily as he felt the warmness of Yue's soft, caramel-tanned hand radiate into his own.

----------

"Wow, you're lucky you don't have any siblings. You're probably spoiled, huh?" Sokka teased, as Yue looked down at the mushy, wet ground below her.

"I wouldn't say that, maybe just a little," Yue said, letting a soft laugh escape her throat. "But not much." Silence filled the air momentarily.

Sokka and Yue walked to the campfire, hand-in-hand, under the lights of the stars. They were wrapped in their own conversation, walking a moderately slow pace, obviously trying to get to spend more time together alone.

"You are so amazing," Yue laughed, changing the subject.

"Eh, not really. Unless you count eating twenty-five ribs and drinking two gallons of lemonade in eight minutes, then heck yeah, I'm amazing," Sokka said, making Yue double over in laughter at Sokka's eating habits.

Sokka watched Yue as she giggled at his jokes, watching as her deep, azure sparkled in the moonlight. He opened his mouth to tell her how much he'd grown to like her, how she made him feel, how he felt like he'd known her for his entire life, but once sound traveled out his mouth, all he could say was her name, since everything else he'd wanted to say floated quickly out of his mind.

"Sokka! We've been looking for you for like, forever!" A voice shouted at him. He looked around until he founc the source of the voice. Toph. She was running toward him, Aang apparently trailing behind her.

"Hey, Toph?" Sokka said, wondering just why she was looking for him.

"The campfire? Hel-looo? Remember?" Toph said, punching him when she came close enough to him.

"Oh!" Sokka thought, smacking his head as he took Yue's hand once again and half-ran half-walked behind Toph and Aang, who took off after snapping Sokka back into reality.

Three minutes passed before Yue and Sokka made it to the area where the campfire party was taking place. A small, blazing fire was burning in the center of the area, a couple of kids surrounding it, either talking or holding out their marshmallows from a stick into it. Some kids weren't even by the fire, they were leaning on trees, chasing one another around, meeting new people. Katara, along with a group of others, where leaning on logs, stuffing their mouths with s'more, gooey marshmallow oozing out the sandwich, while the chocolate melted ontop of it.

"S'mores!" Sokka exclaimed, leading Yue to a log where stacks of huge Hershey's bars, bags of marshmallows, and boxes of graham crackers were spread out.

"More food, Sokka?" Yue teased, as she reached out and got s'more ingredients for herself. Sokka smiled, chocolate spilling out of his mouth from the s'more he'd just stuffed in his mouth.

"Yue! Yue!" a voice screamed out. Both Sokka and Yue turned their heads to look for where that voice was coming from, but they didn't see anyone calling her name. "Yue!!" it screamed again, this time the source coming out in the open. A camp counselor. Calling Yue's name again.

Yue jumped up, confused as to why the counselor came running up to her. The counselor spoke softly to Yue, who's face, once happy and joyful, transitioned to disappointment and gloom. Sokka quickly got up from his log, wondering what was happening. "What's wrong?" he asked, looking at the counselor, then turning to Yue.

"I have to go home," Yue's soft voice whispered, a tone barely audible.

Sokka's face fell. "What? But you just got here."

"I'm sorry, Sokka," Yue said, as she walked away from him, leaving a sad Sokka standing behind her. Watching her as she walked away and his heart shattered into millions of pieces.

--------

Yue walked out of her cabin rolling a large, blue suitcase. Her cabin-mates were standing outside looking at her as she left the cabin. She looked at the people before her, hugging each and every one of them, telling them how much she'd miss them. She looked around for Sokka, her eyes darting all over the vast camp area. But, he was nowhere in sight. Katara came out of nowhere running toward Yue.

"Yue! You never told me you were leaving!" she exclaimed, looking at Yue with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry," was all Yue could say to keep her from bursting into tears.

"Gosh, I'm going to miss you soo much!" Katara said as she ran up to her and squeezed her tightly. Yue hugged back, still looking around for Sokka. And still to no avail.

After Katara let go, Yue glanced behind her to see a boy sitting on the steps of one of the other cabins. Yue furrowed her eyebrows before leaving Katara and her roomates, telling them she had to talk to someone important before she left.

She ran across the dirt, leaving her blue suitcase standing by her old cabin. Yue stopped after she reached the boy who was sitting on the steps. Sokka. She walked over and sat by him, looking at him. She instantly regretted of doing so, because right at that moment tears streamed from her eyes. He wasn't looking at her, only at the steps under him. He didn't know what to say. He was lost for words.

"I'm really going to miss you," she said, wiping tears as they continued to fall down her cheeks. Sokka was sttill silent, playing with his fingers.

"Sokka, speak to me, please!"

"Why are you leaving?" he asked, dropping his hands to his knees. Yue fell silent a minute before she told him her answer.

"Sokka...I.....I...really don't want to talk about that," she said softly, her voice barely audible, her words coming out as choked up sputters. He turned his head slowly to see Yue now staring at the grass before them. He took her face gently in the palm of his hand, and with the other he wiped off the tears streaming down her cheeks with his thumb. She looked at him, her crystal blue eyes glassy from the tears she'd been crying.

"I really don't want you to leave," he whispered to her, still holding her cheek with his palm.

"I don't want to leave either," she said before Sokka leaned toward her, his lips pressing softly to hers. She was slightly surprised, but melted into the kiss, laying her arms on his shoulders and leaning into him. At that moment, everything else was irrelevent. They were wrapped in their own perfect world, kissing each other so passionately, trying to enjoy the last moment they would have together.

"Yue! Your ride is here!!" one of the camp counselor shouted, forcing her and Sokka to pull away from each other. Sokka got up, took her hand, and helped her get up from the steps. She let go of his hand slowly, looking back at him as she went to get her suitcase. She followed the camp counselor, waving at all her friends, and smiling at Sokka as she disappeared from sight.

Sokka stood alone, whispering, "I love you," before he walked away, and a silent tear fell down his cheek.
