Monday, Science Class, Aang's POV

"Class," Professer Jeong-Jeong starts in his normal bruque voice as he closes the door. "Your topic sheets are due today. On it, you were supposed to have three potential projects. Pass them forward!"

I see Katara reach into my book bag, and look for our sheet. I moodily put my elbow in the black table, and rest my head on it with a sour expression on my face.

How could she have asked out Zuko? I mean, I would understand Quin Lee, or Kyro, or even Haru, but... Zuko? The two of them are complete opposites! I'm surprised Zuko made it through the weekend without one visit to the nurse. I'm surprised he even said yes! I mean, I like Katara, but Zuko doesn't! He likes... Oh, better not say, or I'll be eating fireballs for breakfast. I'm surprised Sokka didn't kill Zuko... Maybe it's because they have been best friends for a long time. Still, Sokka didn't take it to well...

-Flashback-

Katara was sitting next to Zuko when Sokka and I walked in our room.

"Hey, Katara," I said as Sokka collapsed on his bed, and put his water bottle to his mouth. "What's up?"

"Zuko and I are dating!" Katara exclaimed.

I dropped my basketball, and Sokka spit out all of his water.

"Dating?!" Sokka yelled. He stood up, but hit his head on the top bunk, and he fell back down, cradling his forehead.

"Yeah!" Katara exclaims happily.

Sokka faints.

-End of Flashback-

I don't even want to remember the rest... I shudder at the thought.

"Aang?" Katara asks, waving her hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I ask, coming out of my flashback.

"I was just going to ask you which project you think we should do..." Katara says, looking at me strangely. "Are you feeling alright, Aang?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," I lie. I decide to change the subject. "I think we should do the one on water density. That sounds fun."

"O...kay..." Katara says, still looking at me strangely. She draws a star next to our third potential project. Katara's neat handwriting reads, 'PUT PROJECT HERE' on that line. She passes it to the table in front of us, then leans back in her seat.

Why, Katara? Why would you go out with Zuko? And not me?

Meanwhile, Sokka's POV

"What do you think we should do?" I ask Toph, reading the paper. "Should we do 'Which type of Earth is strongest?' or 'Which type of metal is easier to bend?'"

"I don't care!" She yells, smashing her clentched fist onto the table. "Do which ever one you want! Why should I even care!"

"Well, you are going to end up doing some of it," I answer meekly.

"I don't care!" She exclaims.

Maybe she is getting jealous, I muse silently to myself. Maybe Zuko really can give advice better than 'Take a bite out of the silver sandwhich'.

"Class," Professer Jeong-Jeong barks. Everyone jumps, and all of our attention is focused on him. "We will be working on a chemistry lab today. The Science Fair is something you do in your dorm, I just collect the information, so we will still be doing chemistry in class..."

What seems like seconds later, a complex chemestry formula is on the blackboard, and lots of tubes and vials sit in front of Toph and I. I lift up one tube, and hold it up to the light. It shimmers a bright blue. I swish it around, and it turns black. I quickly sit it back down and jerk my hand away.

"Okay..." I say. "We mix Chemical A and Chemical B together, right?"

"How should I know?" Toph retorts.

I sigh. Well, I'll never know if I don't try, I think to myself. I pick up a test tube filled with red liquid labeled "Chem. A", and set it on a stand between Toph and I. I pick up the bottle labeled, "Chem. B", and pour all of it into the tube with Chemical A. The liquid mixes together and turns a lime green. It begins to bubble.

"No, Sokka!" I hear Katara urgently say from behind me. I turn, and see her panicked face. I turn my head back to my table, and gasp. The liquid is overflowing onto the table. Then, before I can do anything else:

KABOOM!!

There is a long explosion, and I am knocked into the table behind me, hard. My vision goes blurry.

"Ugh..." I groan. The back of my head feels damp. I put my hand behind my head, and pull it back into my vison. Its covered with warm, wet blood. The class gasps, and gathers around me. Everything slowly goes black...

The next thing I know, I am lying flat in a bed with a pounding headache. "Uh..." I groan once again. I look to the left of me, and see our school's yellow wall. I turn to the right, and see Zuko, Suki, Aang, Katara, Kya, and Liz sitting on one cot. I feel like something is missing, though... Something important...

"Sokka!" Katara exclaims. She rushes forward and pulls me into a lung-crushing hug.

"Katara..." I gasp. "Can't... breathe..."

She lets go, and I take several deep breaths.

"Sorry," Katara apologizes. "Are you okay, Sokka? You had us worried."

"Yeah, I'm fine," I say. "What did I do wrong in the project?"

"You poured the entire vile in there," Zuko responds. "You were only suppost to add one drop."

"Oh..." I say sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck. "Really? Well... Hehehe...he..."

Katara rolls her eyes, and Suki asks accusingly, "Why didn't Toph stop you from making that mistake?"

"I don't know..." I say. Then, I realize what is missing. "Where is Toph, anyways?"

Everyone is silent. The realization of the situation hits me. "What happened?" I ask, fearing the worse. "Where's Toph?"
