Chapter 12:
Aang and Katara Part 7:
The couple woke up after their night of pleasure, feeling week, yet excited. Never in their lives had they ever experienced something so incredible. But as much as they wanted to keep thinking about it over and over, they had to go back to reality once more. They were still stranded on an island, had no clue where their friends where, and a storm destroyed much of their shelter. They only had enough food for a few days, so they hoped that the areas where they found the food survived the storm. The couple packed away their blanket and got out of the cave.
"Aang, we need to find a way off this island so we can find Sokka and the rest of the gang."
Aang suddenly realized something.
"Sokka..." Aang whispered to himself.
Aang facepalmed himself. If Sokka found out what they did, he would kill them. Why hadn't he thought about that before?
"I'm such an idiot..."
"Your not an idiot, Aang."
"Yes I am! We had sex, Katara!"
"So what, I'm not good enough to have sex with?"
"NO! Your brother is going to kill us!"
Katara's eyes widdened. "Oh no..."
"He'll kill me first... and then he'll be furious at you."
"Then we won't tell him."
"What if you got pregnent?"
Katara closed her eyes for a moment and thought about it. A tear came to her eye as she started to think clearly.
"I'm such an idiot..."
Aang suddenly calmed down. Katara now had tears coming down her face. She tried to keep her eyes shut and show no emotion, but it was all coming to her now.
"We... I... I forced you..."
"Katara..."
"Aang, I'm so sorry..."
"It's ok, Katara."
"I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!"
"Katara..."
"We had sex! I could be pregnant! Sokka is going to blame you and never let me see you again! All because I wanted to have sex... DAMN IT!!!"
"Katara!"
Aang put both hands on her shoulders and she calmed down. She looked innocently at Aang.
"Aang... we can't ever tell..."
"O.k."
"Even if I get pregnant. We can't ever tell."
"Katara, they'd figure out..."
"Then you would run away with me, and we would never look back. But you will never tell... Ok Aang?"
Aang thought about it for a moment. Before he could make his answer, they suddenly heard a noise they thought they'd never hear. A smile came to both their faces.
"A plane." Aang whispered to Katara.
She nodded with tears of joy. They quickly started running towards the beach.
"HELP!" They shouted with joy.
"HELP! SAVE US!"
Aang suddenly had an idea.
"Quickly, cover you ears. Use waterbending so that you can't hear anything at all."
Katara nodded and quickly waterbended water around her ears. She didn't freeze it, but she made it so that the water couldn't go into her ears. Aang took a deep breath, then used his airbending to shout out "HELP!"
Aang continued to shout out "HELP!" using airbending at the top of his lungs. Katara then had an idea. She quickly started bending water onto the beach and freezing it. It spelled the word "S.O.S". Katara knew it would be big enough for any plane to see. She looked up and saw the plane coming in their direction.
"We're going to be saved." Katara whispered to herself. "We're finnaly going to be saved..."

Toph and Sokka Part 7:
That morning, the new couple woke up and packed away their "blanket". Toph was starting that item more and more.
'Seems like everytime I'm under it, good things happen to me.' Toph thought. 'It's like I'm protected under it.'
Toph was so happy that day, that she decided to use her earthbending to make the best campsite ever. It was completely protected, and it had one part elevated, so that Sokka could build a small wooden area for them to sleep on, which wouldn't be flooded. Toph didn't want to sleep on it though.
"I like sleeping on the earth. It's confortable."
"Fine, I get the chute as a blanket then."
"No way, it's mine meathead."
Toph quickly grabbed the pack and held it tight.
"You want it, you have to sleep on the ground."
Sokka sighed. "I can't keep doing that every day."
"Fine." Toph cheerfully replied with a smile. "But that means you can't kiss me at night."
"Ok. I'll just sleep here where I can't get wet from the rain."
Toph no longer was smiling and thought about this for a moment. She then ran over to Sokka, who was walking back towards the wooden shelter to finish making it. She chuckled nervously.
"Heh heh, maybe I should sleep in the wooden shelter. I mean, I wouldn't want you to be all alone up there."
Sokka smirked.
"Wipe that smirk off, Meathead. This is the only time your right."
Sokka kept smirking.
"If you don't stop I'll..."
They suddenly heard a noise they had been waiting to hear for awhile. They suddenly grinned and ran towards the sound.
"Wait! Save us! Help!"
They made it to the shore line where they saw a small plane in the distance. Toph cracked her knuckles.
"Let me handle this."
She tapped her toes in the sand, and a 30 ft "S.O.S" sand sculpture appeared in the sand. Sokka was amazed.
"That should do it."
Toph nodded. "It better. If that doesn't work, I may need your help to signal them down here."
"How can I help?"
"I'd earthbend you up there. If you don't die, tell them to land the plane here."
"No. Sorry."
"Then let's hope the plane sees us..."

Zuko and Mai Part 6:
Zuko stood on the beach, tired and weak. He hadn't gotten any sleep last night, and he was still afraid Mai might be pregnant. He knew if Mai had a baby, she would want him to help her raise the baby. It's not that he wouldn't want to, but he believed that he wouldn't be a good father... at least not yet. He needed more time to figure this out. He knew he couldn't force Mai to not have the baby, but he needed to talk to her about this.
Mai came out of the cave slowly. She seemed well rested for the first time since Zuko had known her. A small smile was across her face.
"Hey." She spoke softly.
Zuko tried to smile.
"Hey."
Mai sighed. "Ok, what's going on?"
Zuko turned around. "It's nothing."
"Ok, I can see your having another emo moment. I'll go look around the area and see what survived the storm..."
"I already checked. Most of the plants survived, so we'll have food for a little while."
Mai crossed her arms. She knew something was up.
"Tell me what's going on."
Zuko didn't say anything.
"Obviously this thing is bothering you, Zuko. Tell me."
Zuko sighed.
"Where do you see yourself 5 years or so from now?"
Mai was confused.
"Married to you, since we are engaged. I thought you wanted to marry me."
Zuko shook his head. "No, no, no. I want to marry you still. I love you."
Mai groaned. "Zuko just tell me what's bothering you."
Zuko sighed. "Forget it."
Mai was getting impatient. "Ugh, Zuko. You need to learn to say how your feeling. Your like a child."
Zuko was silent again, and continued to look out into the ocean.
"Come on, Zuko, I wasn't born yesterday. This thing is eating at you, and if you don't talk about it, your never going to feel better about it."
Zuko sighed.
"Well..."
Suddenly, the couple heard a plane in the distance.
"Is that a...?"
Zuko nodded.
"It is."
They quickly shouted as loud as they could to get the planes attention. Zuko then had an idea. He took the near by, scattered pieces of wood, and made them into a giant "S.O.S" in the sand.
"Do you think that will work?"
"No..."
He then set them on fire, making the message brighter, and larger. Mai and Zuko backed away so they wouldn't get burned.
"But this should do it..."

Suki Part 7:
Suki continued to watch the waves go by. She had finnaly accepted Sokka's relationship with her was finished. She would always remember and cheerish it, but she knew now that it was over. Now, she needed time to heal. She needed someone to talk to. She needed to find her friends. She vowed she'd find her friends on this island. They had to be somewhere. After all, she couldn't see any near by islands they could have landed on. Actually... she hadn't thought about that. She had only seen once side of the island. Maybe on another part of the island, she could see another island, or a clue of where her friends where.
Suddenly, she heard a noise. A plane could be seen in the distance. She wondered how to get their attention. She couldn't bend, and there was no way for her to make a large enough fire in time. She suddenly saw four long, thin pieces of wood. She looked at her pack, and had an idea. She quickly took out her parachute canopy, put up the 4 pieces of wood, and used it to make a giant flag. She took a few berries she found and smugged S.O.S on it. She looked back and saw the plane was getting closer in view.
"Please... Please help me... Please..."

Ty-lee and Haru Part 2:
"Do you see anything Haru?" Asked Ty-lee.
"For the last time, no. I'll let you know if I see anything." Replied Haru.
"Someone sounds like Zuko." Commented Ty-lee.
"That's because you woke me up in the middle of the night, dragged me to the airport at the crack of dawn, and making me search for a plane at about 10,000 feet in a tiny aircraft. Gee, I wonder why I sound cranky."
Ty-lee giggled. "Someone needs to turn that frown upside down."
"Hmmm... I have an idea. You really want to make me smile."
"Sure. How can I do that?"
"Be quiet and let me think. Seriously, now I know why Mai was so moody all the time."
Ty-lee sighed and sat up in the seat next to the pilot.
"They have to be out there somewhere..."
Suddenly, she was something. It was directly in front of the plane. A small island... and she saw the letters S.O.S!
"I think I found them!" Ty-lee cheered.
Haru stood up and walked over to where Ty-lee sat. He couldn't believe it.
"Wow... Yeah, that has to be them."
Ty-lee tapped the pilot's shoulder.
"Sir, we need to go to that island."
"You're sure it's this island? I think there may be 3 other islands in this area..."
"No, I'm positive, it's that island. See?"
Ty-lee pointed out the S.O.S. The pilot nodded then.
"Ok, let's fly you over there."
Ty-lee clapped. "Yeah! We get to see our friends again! This is so exciting, it's going to be the most awesome thing..."
The pilot was getting really annoyed. "Ma'am, I suggest you stop talking. Your getting on my last nerve."
"Oh, you boys are all the same. Turn the frown upside down!"
"Ty-lee.... please shut up!" Haru begged.
"No, I have a right to be excited!"
"That's it! I can't take this! I'm not listening to another second of this!" Screamed the pilot.
"Please, what are you going to make us do?"
A few minutes later, Ty-lee and Haru were wearing parachutes and jumpsuits.
"Oh, great thinking, Ty-lee. Annoy the pilot. 'What's he going to do?' How about strand us on the damn island?"
"He can't do this, he'll be arrested for this."
"We paid in cash, no one is going to know we were on here."
"Oh."
Haru sighed. Ty-lee watched as the pilot hit the switch that opened the plane door. Ty-lee looked back and suddenly noticed Haru no longer had eye-contact with her.
"Haru?"
Haru was focused on... something else.
"Haru, are you... are you staring at my boobs?"
".... I'm sorry, what?"
Ty-lee sighed. "You really want to stare at something? Fine... I'll help you out."
Haru's eyes widdened in shock. 'Is she going to flash me?' Haru thought. His eyes smiled at the idea.
"Why don't I help you... stare at the clouds?"
"Wait.... what?"
Ty-lee pushed Haru out of the plane.
"Damn you, Ty-lee....!"
Haru was no longer in sight.
"Boys..."
Ty-lee back flipped out of the plane, preparing to join her friends.
