Heylo! It's GeekForAang, back for another edition of Cactus Wine and Innocence! Yes, I believe I changed the name. It's still the same group of one-shots, just… different title. Anyways, I haven't been here in a while 'cause my friend ShyGuy and I are writing a piece together, and ShyGuy has been lagging on me! I was originally gonna make this longer, but I just kept it the way it was. Didn't seem like it needed more. Anyways, disclaimer…
Mai: GeekForAang doesn't own Avatar: the Last Airbender. It's owned by Mike and Bryan.
GeekForAang: Mai…? You know what? Never mind. On with the story!
The Wake-Up Call
"Katara, wake up! I know you're awake in there!"
Sokk was waking Katara up for a council meeting. He heard rustling before a loud SLAM! echoed in his ears.
"Katara? What's going on in there?" Sokka started to pushed the door open when Katara walked up to it and held it close, only a crack being shown with her eye looking out towards Sokka.
"Nothing, Sokka. I just... fell." Sokka heard a groan in the background.
"What was that?" Sokka tried peeking through the crack, but Katara wouldn't budge.
"That? That was my... stomach! Heh, hungry me! Gotta get ready so I can go eat breakfast!"
Sokka raised an eyebrow. "Well, ok... just remember; we're gonna pick up Aang before we go to the meeting at the city's main building."
"Ok! Sokka...?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't you dare come barging in here, or I swear, I WILL get Dad! Remember! We're in the Southern Water Tribe! He lives right in the next house!"
"Yeah-yeah," Sokka called towards her.
"Women," he muttered.
Katara turned around in her room and faced Aang. "That was close!"
"I'll say!"
"Aang, you have to get out of here!" Katara started pushing him towards the window. He only had his pants on, but she didn't care.
Aang looked out the window and his eyes popped out of his head.
"I can't go out there! Everyone will notice me for sure!"
"Well... do something! I have to get ready!"
"I can always stay here," he smirked.
Katara kept a straight face and pointed towards the door. "Out."
"But what if Sokka sees me?"
"Oh, c'mon Aang. You're the AVATAR. I'm pretty sure you can sneak past my brother."
"I'll try..." Aang mumbled as he dragged his way out the door.
Aang stepped out into the hallway, looking left and right. He shivered as a draft hit his bare shoulders. He backed up and slowly closed the door when he ran into a tall figure. 'Please don't be Sokka, please don't be Sokka!'
"What were you doing in my sister's bedroom?"
"I uh..."
"Nothing to say, eh?" Sokka came closer to Aang and whispered, "There better be no baby-making going on."
"Actually I—"
"You know what? Just go get ready for the council meeting."
"But I—"
"GO!" Aang ran off as Sokka pointed his finger down the hall.
"Jeez," Aang mumbled to himself. "You'd think he'd want to know that his sister is gonna get married."
There it is. Short, I know. But… hey! At least I put something up! Please, please please, review. I like to know what people think of my writing! Oh, and as usual, sorry for typos.
