"Sokka if you don't see it you are as blind as Toph" Zuko points out.
"Yeah you are right" Sokka admits "something is definitely wrong with Aang and Katara".
It was true ever since that stupid play 2 nights ago, Aang hadn't been able to focus during Fire Bending practice, and Katara had grown distant, and during the past two two days during meals, the pair would sit on opposite sides avoided eye contact or any social interaction at all.
Which for Aang and Katara is very wired, both part, being completely silent…… as well as not sitting close together.
"Exactly Sokka, and frankly I can't teach Aang like this. We have to figure out what happened between them" Zuko says to Sokka.
"Yeah, come to think of it…. it had to have been during that second intermission….. you know where Katara went off to find Aang." Sokka concludes "It had to have happened sometime around there".
"Well what should we do?" Zuko asks, "you are supposed to be the plan guy after all".
Sokka thinks for a long minute, thinking of possible solutions "umm, oh how about…… no that wouldn't work" Sokka starts before cutting himself off "they'd probably both kill me".
"What is Sokka? There's no such thing as a bad idea" Zuko asks.
"Ok well….. a while back, we were trapped in a desert, and we ran out of water." Sokka starts.
"What the hell dose that have to do with getting them to talk to each other?" Zuko questions.
"I'm getting there" Sokka snaps "anyway, I decided to try and drink cactus juice, to survive….. and let's just say it didn't turn out well" Sokka adds with a slight blush.
"Sokka….. are you suggesting……. That we get either Aang or Katara….. Drunk?" Zuko asks with a puzzled expression.
"Well….. a drunk mind speaks a sober heart" Sokka adds with a chuckle.
"Ok i take back what I say earlier. There are such things as bad ideas" Zuko adds, "Besides, where would we even get cactus juice?".
"Well…….. I may happen to have a small bottle in my bag" Sokka whispers afraid someone will here.
"What? Sokka why on earth would you keep anything like that? Also that is in general a dumb idea" Zuko adds with a look of disappointment for Sokka.
"First of all, it's for the memories, Second do you have a better idea?" Sokka responds.
"Uhhh, well…… No" Zuko admits "Fine I geuss that's the plan…… alright we will sneak some cactus juice into Aang's drink and dinner and just hope it works out".
"Are you crazy, who know what a drunk Aang would do, I know he is genuinely a great guy and would never do anything to hurt anyone especially Katara. But he is still a guy….. I won't take that chance" Sokka rants.
"Ok then, I geuss we will do Katara instead" Zuko responds.

4 hours later (At Dinner)
—————————————————————————
The Gaang sits around the table for dinner, and all is well……. Except for Aang and Katara, they are still rather distant from everyone else and each other.
"Ok guys does anyone want some more water?" Sokka says glancing to Zuko as if to say it was time.
Everyone looks at Sokka with a wired expression. "Since when have you been so helpful" asks Sukki.
"Uhhh I'm so offended…… I just can't even help people without being questioned" Sokka responds with a scoff "here I'll be back with some more glasses of water for everyone."
He says has he runs back to the kitchen. There he gets glasses of water for everyone in the group, puts a black mark on a certain Waterbenders cup.
"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Katara, but it's for the greater good" he says as he pours a small amount of Cactus juice into the cup.
"Ok guys I have everyone's water." Sokka responds nervously as he hands them the cups, taking special care that the cup with the black mark goes to his sister.
Thankfully Katara is to distant at that moment for her to notice the little black mark on her cup, she raises the cup to her lips and takes a big sip when Sokka blurts out.
"Ok well that's enough social interaction for today, how about we all go to bed right now!"
Everyone but Katara looks at Sokka with a confused face, but thankfully for him they all just kind of agreed and headed off to their separate rooms.
Everyone….. But Katara.
'Oh my gosh what is going on' Katara thinks to herself 'my head feels funny'
And that's when the full effects of the Cactus juice hits her, and she begins to think about a certain Airbender she would really like to talk to.
