-Chapter 8- Moon Festival -part1

"So... What do you wanna do now?" Sokka asked as he and Siara left the dining room. They'd just gotten done eating breakfast, and were still bored.

"Well..." Siara started, "... I'm gonna go find Tanya... I gotta tell her something..."

Sokka looked at her with a confused expression. "What is it?" he asked.

Siara giggled. "Well, she knows that I, uh... like you..." she sputtered. Sokka blushed and smiled. Siara continued. "I'm gonna tell her to keep it, well, kind of a secret from Suki."

"Oh, Suki..." Sokka muttered. He stared at the ground and sighed.

"It's ok, Sokka..." Siara said calmly, putting her hand on his shoulder. "I know, you're probably scarred for life, but... you gotta move on. Forget about her, and focus on what's happening now."

Sokka smiled and looked into Siara's deep emerald eyes. "Like you," he said softly. He wrapped his arms around Siara's small frame and embraced her in a sweet kiss. Immediately Siara gave in, and tightly wrapped her arms around Sokka's neck.

Once it stopped, the new couple looked at eachother and smiled. "Well, I'd better go now..." Siara said as she walked away. "I'll see you later, Sokka!"

Sokka watched her leave. "Bye," he whispered softly, although it wasn't nearly loud enough for Siara to hear. He had to admit, Siara made him feel much better about that whole situation. Ok, so maybe I did like Siara from the moment I met her. I think I'm really starting to love her even more than I have ever loved Suki.

-------

As Siara was making her way to her room to find Tanya, she froze when she heard a voice. "Hi, Siara!"

Siara turned around to see Suki. And she was holding hands with none other than Jet. Of course... Siara glared at Jet, but smiled at her best friend. "Oh, um... Hey, Suki... What's up?"

Suki smiled. "Oh, nothing... Just hanging out with Jet," she replied. Then she kissed Jet softly on the cheek. That really disgusted Siara. What does she see in that guy?

"Uh, Suki?" Siara muttered.

"Yes?"

"Can I talk to you a minute?" Siara asked hopefully.

"Sure, ok," Suki replied. She looked up at Jet. "I'll be right back," she said in a very flirty tone.

Suki followed Siara into her room. To her surprise, Tanya wasn't there. She decided she'd look for her cousin later. Now she wanted to talk. "I wanted to talk to you about what happened yesterday..."

"Oh yeah, about that..." Suki mumbled. "See, well, I just-"

"It's not like you to do this, Suki!" Siara exclaimed. "I mean, you just met Jet yesterday, and you went and kissed him! AND YOU WERE GOING OUT WITH SOKKA!"

Suki looked at the floor and sighed. "I know... But, well, Jet and I... We have more, uh... chemestry between us. More than me and Sokka did... I was going to break up with him, but-"

"You really hurt Sokka!" Siara shouted, sounding very concerned. "You should have seen him..."

"I know, Siara, but... Wait, why are you so concerned about Sokka?" Suki asked, sounding dumb-founded.

"He's my friend, and you know me, when my friends are sad I'm there for them. You remember when you had your first break-up?" Siara asked, calming down a little.

Suki sighed. "Yeah. And I really liked that guy... Oh, I can't even remember his name... I felt so... rejected."

"And I was there for you all the way!" Siara pointed out.

"But this is different... Jet is just, so... wow."

"Remember how upset you were?" Siara asked.

Suki nodded. "Yeah."

"Now tell me... How do you think Sokka feels?"

Suki stared at the floor. "I bet he hates my guts now, doesn't he?" she asked.

"I'm not sure..." Siara muttered.

"Do you think he'd still want to be my friend?" Suki questioned excitedly.

Siara giggled. "Well, I wouldn't see why not..." But then she remembered why she was heading for her room in the first place. "Um, Suki? I think I'm gonna go... I gotta go, uh... find... Tanya..."

"Oh, I think she's at the beach... I'd better go too, Jet and I are getting ready for tonight!"

Siara stared at her friend, with a very confused expression on her face. "What's tonight?" she asked.

"Don't you remember? Tonight is the night of the Moon Festival! You know, the night when the full moon glows its brightest yellow, brighter than it has all year!"

Siara smiled "Oh yeah! I almost forgot!"

Then, the two teenage girls left the room, heading in two different directions.

-------

As Siara was heading down to the beach, she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Hey," said a voice. Siara looked beside her to see Sokka smiling sweetly. "Hi!" she replied happily.

"Do you know what's going on around here? There are all these stands being set up, and there's even a dance floor-"

"Tonight's the night of the Moon Festival," Siara exclaimed. Sokka just looked at her with a confused expression, as if to say, 'What the heck are you talking about?'. Siara giggled at the look on his face, and then continued. "Tonight is the one night of the year in Kyoshi when the full moon glows its brightest. It's really pretty! And there's music, and dancing, and food-"

"FOOD?" Sokka shouted.

Siara laughed. "That's one thing that's never going to change about you, Sokka!" She continued laughing out loud.

"What? I like food!" Sokka said happily. But then he changed the subject. "Did you tell Tanya yet? You know, about... us?" he asked.

"No, I can't find her. Suki told me she was at the beach, so that's where I'm going..."

"Oh," Sokka muttered. "Can I come?" he questioned hopefully.

"Of course," Siara whispered as she kissed Sokka's cheek softly. When she pulled away, he sighed and smiled delierously. "Wow," he said, still sounding dazed.

Siara giggled. Sokka blushed once he realized what he'd done. Smooth move, smart guy! he thought to himself. You idiot...

-------

Katara and Tanya were still at the beach, just blabbering away about guys. "I met this really cute Earthbender yesterday!" Tanya exclaimed happily.

"Really? Katara asked. "What's his name?"

"His name is Rick, and he's ninteen! He's really sweet, and he asked me to go with him to the Moon Festival tonight!"

"Cool!" Katara cried. "Wait a minute... Moon Festival? What's that?"

"The Moon Festival is held on the one night of the year in Kyoshi Island when the full moon shines its brightest, and stars are sparkling every where. It's really quite beautiful! And there's music, dancing, food, and other things like that. Moon Festivals are always fun!"

"It sounds really fun!" Katara mentioned.

"Hey guys," said a voice. Tanya and Katara turned around to see Sokka and Siara. But what surprised them most, though, is that they were holding hands.

"Hi Sokka, hi Siara..." Katara mumbled in confusion. "Did you guys hear about the Moon Festival tonight?" she asked.

"Yeah!" Siara replied. "Do you guys have a date?"

Tanya smiled. "I met this really cute guy, and his name is Rick... And he asked me to go with him!"

"Awesome!" Siara said.

"Who are you going with, Katara?" Sokka asked tauntingly. "Aang?"

Katara blushed. She was seriously considering asking him to go to the festival with her... but she wasn't going to let her brother know that. "Um... Who's your date?" she asked, in the same tone. "Or could you even get a date?"

Sokka blushed. He really wanted to ask Siara to go with him... He then remembered he was holding her hand. "Uh, well, Yeah! I do have a date!" he exclaimed happily.

"Who?" Katara and Tanya asked, although they already had a pretty good idea who it was.

Sokka looked beside him at Siara, and noticed she was smiling very sweetly at him. "Siara's my date!" he said excitedly. He put his arm around Siara and pulled her a little closer to him and kissed her cheek, just to prove his point.

Katara and Tanya could not stop giggling. "Aw, that's so sweet!" Tanya cried. "My baby cousin's got herself a boyfriend!"

Siara blushed. "Tanya, would you please?" she muttered.

Tanya giggled. "I'm just kidding, Siara."

"But could you keep this a secret from Suki?" Sokka asked.

"I almost forgot about that..." Katara mumbled to herself. "What would she think if she knew you were with Sokka?"

"I dunno..." Siara said quietly. "She would either not care, because she's currently obsessed with Jet, or she would consider me a back-stabber and a very shallow friend for taking her ex-boyfriend. I'm hoping it's the first one."

Then the four of them stayed quiet for a while, gazing out into the ocean.

A/N: Not exactly a cliffy. LOL Please review! And about the "Rick" thing...
