Sokka's pov...
"These are my grandkids and my grandsons's fiancé.", Aang says making both me and Sky blush hard.
"Hi I'm June Pippinpaddleopsicopolus, dont mind him he's a little senile.", Katara says.
"You seem like a responsible young lady, make sure gramps stays out of trouble.", the guard says as we thank him and pass.
"Hey you, you seem like a healthy guy, carry your woman's bag. " Sky looks at me apologetically handing me her bag, as I register I'm not the only one blushing again. And she looks cute doing it. I realize as Aang's talking I'm watching her more than listening to him.
"Ya so they get their mail on time, big deal.", I say as I mischievous twinkle enters both airbenders eyes.
"Ya but my friend Bumi, found another use.", he says and before we know it were riding in the cart, me and my sis in the middle, Sky behind me, and Aang at the front.
I can hear the airbenders yelling elatedly while my sis and I are terrified, the only thing enjoyable is Sky's grip on me at times, which would normally make me blush, but being terrified didn't help, even though it was comforting.
Sky's pov...
I felt the adrenaline rush as we sped along, and I held on to the water tribe warrior.
Surprisingly he's not as skinny as he was portrayed, he's all muscle under his clothes.
I was thankful he was facing away when I grabbed on so he didn't see my blush.
Sadly the spear cart appeared behind me,
"Aang time to switch tracks before I get the point!", I shout as he looks.
"I'm on it!", he shouts airbending us to another track causing us to pick up speed and eventually lose control crashing us into the cabbage crate, getting us taken to Bumi, who surprises everyone by throwing us a feast.
As we eat and chat the king throws a chicken leg at Aang who airbends so it don't hit him.
"Why I do believe we're in the presence of the Avatar.", Bumi says.
"Yup, that's me, no firebenders here, guess I'll go.", Aang says trying to leave only to be blocked by guards.
"In the morning you will do 3 challenges, but until then, guards take them to the newly refurbished chamber.", Bumi says and were tossed in a room with 4 beds.
"Wow, not bad.", I say.
"He did say it was newly refurbished.", Katara says.
"Sky is there a way out?", Sokka asks.
"Only finishing the challenges.", I say as Aang tries to shove Momo in a vent and I layback,
"I'D rest its a long day tomorrow."
"Maybe you shoould of said something so we could avoid this.", Katara says glaring.
"Can't we're gonna need the crazy guys help eventually, and he wants to help Aang learn to try and think out of his box.", I say I'm already starting to hate knowing what I know.
I take a slight nap so I'm awake when the guards grab me and the siblings. A few hours later and Im licking my rock candy ring while the siblings watch the challenges dissolving my crystal winking when Bumi looks at me surprised. Eventually we're down to guessing his name.
"Sky you know his name right?", Aang says.
"Well ya, but how many mad geniuses do you know?", I say as the benders eyes light up.
Soon he's hugging Bumi, "Hey a little help here.", Sokka says and Bumi earthbends crushing the rock candy.
"Geminite tasty.", he says eating it.
"What about Sky's?", Sokka says as I wave at him.
"Your friend is a little mad genius herself, she managed to dissolve hers slowly till it was nothing. ",he says.
"I just wanted to know if it would work?", I say smirking.
"And Aang, I hope when you face the firelord you take him like a mad genius too.", Bumi says.
Before we leave Aang and Bumi take another ride as we're given money and supplies for our journey, and I'm presented with my own glider staff.
Sokka's pov...
We were camped again and Sky had gone off hunting.
"I think we should make Sky tell us everything. ", Katara says "She knew about Bumi and said nothing, Kiyoshi too. What else isn't she telling us."
"When if she does and because of it we don't do something we would of and people die, or die cause we did something else.", Aang says thoughtfully.
"It shouldn't be her decision what to tell, she needs to spill.", my sister says.
"No, we're putting to much pressure on her, and when if as she put it, her being here has changes things. She's our friend we need to trust her. ", Aang says as I slip off and come across Sky watching a bush.
"Hey Sokka.", she says without looking.
"How'd you know?", I say surprised she guessed.
"Your footfalls, and that minty scent you carry.", she says leaning on a tree a sadness in her eyes that can't be missed as there a steel grey now.
"You can tell just by that?", I ask as she turns to me.
"Of course I can. ", she says lifting an eyebrow.
"Are you ok?", I ask.
"Just a lot on my mind Sokka. I'm afraid if i tell you guys everything bad stuff could happen, or worse if you guys change course to much.", she says as worry swirls in them.
I pull the girl into a hug. "I'm still adjusting to being in a world I thought was a story, and learning to bend." As she says the last part I tighten my hold.
"Don't worry Sky, no matter what happens I'll be here for you.", I say "I trust ya, you don't have to tell us everything unless you want.
I'm not gonna pressure you." As she hugs me back too.
"Thanks Sokka, you have no idea how much I needed to hear that.", she says looking up at me as her eyes turn blue green again.
She makes me feel a way that I can't explain as I feel that urge to kiss her again as I push a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Her eyes now swirling an unreadable emotion because its newer.
"Sokka! Sky!", Dinner!", my sister yells and we both groan.
"Race ya there!", she says as I reluctantly let go smiling.
"Your on!", i say as we go running together.
