Anywho... ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
It was about 6am when the sun was fully out and shining.
"Whoa! Breakfast bell is in half an hour!" Katara all of a sudden remembered.
"Why's that a problem?" Aang yawned as he jumped off the tree branch. "Because Sokka gets up at 6:15!" Katara panicked. "Your point being?" Aang yawned. "It's only eight until 6:15, and it's a 7 1/2 minute walk to the village!" Katara panicked. "Oh. How long do you think it'll take us if we run?" Aang smiled. "I'm not sure!" Katara was pacing with her hands on her head. "Then let's find out!" Aang laughed as he grabbed Katara's arm and ran.
In the forest...
"Aang!" Katara yelled at Aang, trying to signal to slow down. "Look! We're here!" Aang beamed. "Oh. Good work, Aang." Katara smiled.
"Good morning! Where have you two been?" Sokka grinned.
"Sokka!" Katara blushed as she smacked her hand over her mouth. "You're not supposed to be up for two minutes!" She blushed furiously.
"I've been up since six! I went and walked Suki to her training gym! What have you two been up to?" Sokka kept grinning.
"Oh, around. We...uh...went to go see if we could get some tickle peaches for Apa!" Aang said. "Yeah, that's it! We both knew that if you came along that you'd eat half of them before we could even feed them to Apa!" Katara caught on to Aang's clever cover-up. "Oh. You know what's funny? I woke up at one this morning for a small snack, and not one of you were in your sleeping bags! Explain that, will ya?" Sokka got them. Aang couldn't think of anything to say, so Katara did. "I thought that I heard Apa roar during the night, and woke up Aang to go see if it was Apa. We couldn't find him, so we went looking all night for him! We finally found him trying to devour a tickle peach tree!" Katara remembered the tickle peach tree that fell over from when she and Aang were trying to beat the breakfast bell. "Is that the story that you two want to stick with?" Sokka kept pestering them about it until Suki showed up a minute later.
"Sokka, are you pestering them again?" Suki eyed him and tapped her foot. "No." Sokka protested. "YES!" Aang and Katara bellowed at the same time. "Sokka!" Suki scolded Sokka, only to be interrupted her.
"Awwww! Just when it was getting good!" Katara whispered in Aang's ear. Aang laughed hysterically. "Good one Katara." Aang laughed.
At the breakfast table...
"FOOD!" Sokka bellowed happily.
"Uh oh. Sokka's started up again!" Katara said to Aang. Aang laughed.
"Try this!" Suki pushed a plate of odd looking fish towards them. "Uh, Suki? What is that stuff?" Sokka asked as he nervously poked the odd looking meal. "Oh! It's called Unogii pastries! They're fish identical to the Unogii but are the size of a child's fist. Very delicious! Especially on the feast of the Unogii!" Suki smiled and helped herself to a plateful. "Oh." Sokka was still poking at the mini-Unogiis when Aang decided to try it.
"Let me try that!" Aang said as he grabbed the one that Sokka was poking at and swallowed it. "EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Sokka screeched. "MMMMM! Tasted like chicken!" Aang's eyes lit up as he grabbed a plateful himself.
"Uh, Aang? Could you pass the pepper? I'm having an omelet, and I need pepper." Katara asked. "Sure thing Katara!" Aang blew the shaker over to her with a light air ball. "Thanks." Katara said as she poured some pepper onto her omelet. "No problem." Aang replied.
Later on the beach…
"Aang!" Katara laughed as Aang splashed her with water. Katara decided to hurl a water ball at him. Aang was too busy laughing to notice the sphere of water hurling at his face until it was too late. SPLOOSH! "COLD!" Aang yelled. Now it was Katara's turn to laugh. Katara picked up a beautiful outfit in Omashu that was especially designed to be used for swimming. It was the same color as her normal outfit. But it was a bit shinier than her normal outfit. A bit tighter too. It showed off her figure nicely.
Sokka and Suki were at the beach too. Suki was trying to bury Sokka as he attempted a nap. Katara was finding this very funny, and then volunteered to pour water on him to make the sand hard. Aang just sat and laughed as this was all taking place.
"Hey, Katara!" Aang yelled. He obviously went for a swim while she wasn't looking. "What Aang?" She called back. "Come ride the giant coy fish with me!" He yelled. "Be right there!" Katara was already running down to the water.
They caught two coy fish and were racing each other when Katara's fish got attacked by another coy.
"KATARA!" Aang yelled as he frantically swam towards her floating body. "Aang… My arm hurts… and my leg too." Katara slowly whispered. She obviously couldn't swim on her own to land. Even if she could, Aang wouldn't let her. He'd insist on carrying her.
Back on land…
Oh my gosh! What happened to her!" Suki shrieked, causing Sokka to sit up in a flash. He was in a suit like Aang always wears when he goes swimming, only blue.
"What happened Aang?" Sokka ran over to Aang and Katara with Suki not trailing far behind.
Suki was in a bathing suit like Katara's only green, and her face was free from any makeup, with her short red hair put in a short ponytail.
"Katara! Her coy fish got attacked by another coy fish! She crashed!" Aang was breathless from exhaustion but didn't care. If Katara wasn't okay, then he'd have more important things to worry about. "Oh no! Coy fish crashes are known to be fatal! Did she say that she was hurt?" Suki alarmed Aang more than he wanted to be. "Yeah! She said that her arm and leg hurt." Aang remembered. "We'd better get her into the village!" Sokka suggested to Suki. Suki nodded her head as the two teenagers picked up Katara and carried her into the village. Aang followed not too far behind.
Outside of the medical house…
"She'll be okay. Very sore, but okay none the less." The doctor said as he emerged through the door. "You may go see her." He smiled reassuringly and ushered them inside. Aang felt so bad.
A/N: MWAHAHAHAHA! Cliffy! Why did Aang feel worse than he did before after seeing inside? Plz R&R!
