ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

-Chapter 5- Old Enemy, New Friend

Startled, Sokka, Siara, and Suki turned around to see a small army of Firebenders charging at them. "Aw man!" Sokka muttered. The three of them started attacking the enemy Benders, hoping they would give up soon.

Sokka quickly pulled out his boomerang, and at full speed, threw it at one of the soldiers. Luckily, it knocked him unconcious. Suki threw her fan at some other soldiers, throwing them to the ground and knocking them out cold as well. Siara avoided all the fire balls that were shot her way, and punched a Firebender in the face, giving him a really bloody nose. Whimp, Siara thought to herself.

"Guys, what the-" Katara ran out from behind the trees to see them being attacked. She, Aang and Tanya ran in to help. Tanya dodged three huge boulders at the Firebenders, knocking two out, and giving the other one a gigantic bruise on the fore head. Aang swung his staff at some soldiers, and used what he knew of his Earthbending skills to throw some more rocks towards them. Katara opened her canteen, and did the water whip in one soldiers face, giving him a bloody mark on his cheek.

Suddenly, the six of them stopped fighting. All the soldiers were, from the looks of it, freaking out. Everyone stared in confusion at the panicking Firebenders as the fled from the woods and boarded their ship. "What in the heck?" Sokka, Siara, and Tanya said in unison. For some reason, this situation they were in felt oddly familiar to Sokka. Aang and Katara were glaring at something in disgust. But Suki was smiling happily. Then they noticed someone jump out of a near-by tree. He walked up to Suki and Siara and, in a flirty voice, said, "Hey."

Suki smiled. "Hi!" she said happily. Siara just glared at him. She doesn't trust people that easy.

Sokka walked up to the guy and stood by his girlfriend. "Hey, buddy! She's already-" His eyes suddenly grew wide, and then he glared at the guy. "JET?"

Katara and Aang looked shocked. "But, what the heck are you doing here?" Aang asked. Jet didn't answer. But Suki kept on smiling. "Um, my names Suki," she said shyly.

"Yeah, and she's my girlfriend, so don't even think about it!" Sokka shouted.

Jet stiffled a laugh. "She's your girlfriend, Sokka?" he asked.

"Yeah! You gotta problem with it?" Sokka asked, getting very impatient.

Katara and Aang didn't know what to say. But Suki sure did. "Oh, come on, Sokka. Show some respect! He drove away all those Firebenders! You should be glad they didn't give you a third degree burn!"

Aang and Katara were still staring at Jet in confusion. "What are you doing here in Kyoshi?" Aang asked again, hoping this time, he would actually answer.

"I needed a vacation," Jet said casually. "Ya know, just to get away from it all."

"Yeah, I'll make you get away from it all," Sokka muttered, looking as if he were about to knock Jet's light out.

"Sokka!" Suki said. "Stop being so rude!" Then she turned to face Jet. "If you want, I know a place where you can stay tonight..." Then she and Jet walked out of the forest and into town, with Suki gazing up at Jet half the time. But there was something about the way she was looking at him, and it was starting to slightly bother Siara. She glanced beside her at Sokka, who was glaring angrilly at Jet, and suddenly felt worried for some reason.

-------

"You know that guy?" Siara asked Sokka as the two of them were in the dojo. Siara was teaching Sokka some fighting moves, like she said she would earlier. Well, they were currently taking a break, sitting down on the floor.

"Unfortunately, yeah," Sokka replied. "We met him not too long ago. When the Fire Nation attacked a village near his, er, 'tree house', he wanted to blow up a dam and flood the whole town. Just to kill all the Firebenders."

Siara looked shocked. "But- weren't there families living there? Harmless, innocent people who never caused any harm were killed?"

"Well, not exactly... I warned all the people in the town, so everyone escaped before the dam blew up," Sokka mentioned.

"Then I guess that makes you the hero, doesn't it?" Siara asked with a warm smile. Sokka blushed. She thinks I'm a hero! Wait- Why am I so excited?

Siara giggled, but then her expression changed. "What did you think earlier when Suki couldn't stop looking at Jet?" she asked, sounding somewhat concerned.

Sokka stared at Siara. "She couldn't stop looking at him?" he asked, also starting to sound a little worried.

"Well, Suki's a really nice person... Maybe she was just wanting to be Jet's friend?" Siara reasoned, trying to reassure Sokka that nothing was going on, even though she had no idea, whatsoever.

Sokka stared at the floor. "Yeah, I guess..." he muttered, hoping his friend was right. Suki was just being nice. She just wants to be Jet's friend. That's all. He sighed.

"Hey guys!" shouted a voice. Siara and Sokka looked up and saw Suki entering the dojo. "How are those moves coming along, Sokka?" she asked as she sat down beside him and gave him a peck on the cheek. That little kiss really made him feel much better about the whole "meeting Jet again" thing.

Siara answered for him. "He's doing pretty well!" she said excitedly. "He hasn't completely mastered them yet, but he's catching on!" Sokka started blushing unnacountably at Siara's comment.

Suki smiled. "That's great!" she said, laying her head on Sokka's shoulder. But for some reason, she changed the subject. "You guys should get to know Jet. He's really nice!"

Sokka and Siara looked at eachother in dusgust. "I don't trust him," Sokka muttered under his breath, but loud enough for Suki to hear.

"Why?" Suki asked. "He's a good person, Sokka!"

Siara had this weird look on her face, kind of a cross between confusion and disgust. "I dunno, Suki," Siara said quietly. "I'm not sure if I can trust him either..."

"The guy's a lying, cheating JERK!" Sokka shouted as he stood up. "Oh, sure, he wins you over at first, but then he tries to take control over everything, wanting to turn your freinds against you-"

"Sokka!" Suki shouted as she stood up to face him. "I can't believe you! Jet is a good friend, and I'm sure if you just get to know him then-"

"I alread do know him, Suki," Sokka said sternly as he walked out of the dojo. "See you later."

Once he was out of sight, Suki looked at Siara. "What is up with him?" she asked her friend.

Siara knew very well what was wrong with Sokka, but she didn't say anything about it. "I, uh... dunno..." Siara replied.

-------

The sun was setting, and pink and orange hues filled the sky beautifully. The warm spring breeze felt wonderful. Siara was taking a walk to the beach, to think about this situation. For no apparent reason, she suddenly felt like she'd been stabbed in the back by her best friend, but didn't know why. It's not like Suki likes Jet more than Siara, right? She just met the guy! And Suki and Siara have been best frinds for years. Then she focused her thoughts on Sokka. How did he feel when Suki couldn't take her eyes off Jet? Suki would never do that to Sokka! I know her better than that. Maybe that's why she felt betrayed. Because Suki acted like she wanted to be more than just Jet's friend... and perhaps there's more to Sokka than just that "warrior act" he puts on when they fight. Siara blushed at that thought. I shouldn't be thinking this. I mean... Sokka is Suki's boyfriend... not mine... Am I jealous of my best friend? No! I can't be! I'm happy for her! I'm not jealous...

-------

Sokka sighed deeply as he stared out into the turquoise-colored ocean. He kept trying to reassure himself that nothing was going on. They're just friends, Sokka, he told himself. Suki doesn't like him that way. She's just being nice... That's all... He suddenly began thinking about Siara. She and Sokka quickly became good friends... But what if she was... No! I can't think that way, Suki's my girlfriend, not Siara. But... Siara's very nice... and smart... and her eyes... so pretty-- WHAT AM I THINKING? Sokka didn't know what to do. He just sat on the cool sand, gazing out at the ocean that was now mid-night blue, since the sun was currently out of sight.

-------

With the sun completely out of view, the only light Siara had to help her see was the light of the full moon. She'd finally made it to the beach, and as she looked out into the ocean, she could see someone else sitting there on the sandy ground. She knew right away who it was. "Hey, Sokka," she said softly as she sat down beside him.

Sokka looked at her in surprise. "Oh, uh... hi, Siara..." he muttered, studying the girl sitting next to him. The glowing moonlight only accented the emerald color of her eyes. Wow... Sokka thought to himself, without even noticing it.

Siara smiled warmly. "Is something bothering you?" she asked, putting her hand on Sokka's shoulder. He blushed deeply, but it wasn't all that noticable, considering it was night.

"Well," Sokka started, "I... uh... I dunno." He couldn't tell her about what he was thinking earlier. What if she didn't like him? Besides, he already has a girlfriend...

That sweet smile had not left Siara's face. "Come on, I know something's wrong... You look miserable-" She paused for a moment. "Did Suki break up with you?" she questioned, sounding very concerned.

Sokka shook his head. "No... It's just... She's been spending all this time with Jet... And I keep thinking..." He sighed, but didn't finish his sentence. Aparently he didn't need to.

"I don't blame you for being suspicious," Siara mentioned.

"And I guess I'm kinda, well, jealous," Sokka confessed. "I probably don't need to be, but..." Once again, he didn't need to finish his sentence.

"I know exactly how you feel," Siara said quietly, sounding slightly upset. She hugged her knees to her chest and sighed.

From the corner of his eye, Sokka watched Siara. She looked sad, like she'd been dumped, or something. But she didn't have a boyfriend that Sokka knew about, so he figured that wasn't what had happened. "You ok, Siara?" he asked softly.

Siara closed her eyes and sighed again. "Um... I'll be ok," she said. "I just think I need some sleep."

"Yeah," Sokka agreed with a yawn. "Me too." He offered to help her up, and she took his hand with ease. They walked back to their rooms, secretly thinking about one another.

-------

Sokka entered his room and got ready for bed. Aang and Katara were snoozing away, and Momo was on Sokka's bed. He shook the little animal to get him off. Momo awoke and made a weird noise, and right when Sokka got into bed, Momo crawled in, right beside him. "Why can't you go sleep with Aang or Katara..." Sokka muttered, sounding only half awake, as the lemur sqirmed around on Sokka's pillow until he was comfortable. They soon drifted off to sleep.
