Sarah: Blaze83, I'm sorry but I can't change Zuko right now. Tadashi basically changed Zuko, because he realizes that he loves her and feels sympathetic toward her. Can't ya go along with that? Now if you don't mind… GET THE F---- OUT OF MY FACE! GET THE F--- OUT OF MY FACE!

Tweek: SARAH! TAKE YOUR HEADPHONES OFF!

Sarah: What? Can't you see I'm moshing away my sorrows right now?

Tweek: Wait…I just want to say I'm sorry that Sokka broke up with you. You really didn't deserve to be dumped like that.

Sarah: (Sarcastically) Thanks for your concern…GET THE F--- OUT OF MY FACE! GET THE-

(Tweek pulls the earphones clean off Sarah's head and gives her a big ol' kiss on the cheek)

Sarah: Tweek…I didn't know you liked me!

Tweek: You were too busy with Sokka to notice me.

Sarah: …Wow, I really was obsessed!

Tweek: Yeah, but I still like you and I'll understand if you hate me for kissing you like that.

Sarah: Tweek?

Tweek: Yeah?

Sarah: You know what?

Tweek: What?

Sarah: I THINK I OUTTA SLAP YOU!

(With Sokka and Dani)

Dani: GET AWAY FROM ME!

Sokka: But…but…

Dani: But nothing! I HATE YOU!

Sokka: (whimpers)

Dani: Oh, don't give me that look!

Sokka: Why do you hate me so much? It's not my fault I'm me!

Dani: I don't know, but it's not gonna change so hit the road, jack!

Sokka: (thinking) I should have never had left Sarah, she loved me more than this…

Chapter 12:

Tadashi pushed herself away from Zuko, feeling violated. Zuko smiled, satisfied.

(Sarah: ZUKO, YOU LITTLE BASTARD!)

Tadashi didn't know what to say. If she just took off running, then she might hurt Zuko. It wasn't his fault he loved her.

From Zuko's point of view, he felt awfully guilty for kissing Tadashi without her say, but he had to admit, it felt great. He didn't go any farther though; He stayed and waited for Tadashi's reaction.

Tadashi couldn't react though, because she didn't know how.

Okay, so there they are in the room, it's the middle of the night, and Sokka and Aang have left Zuko's window. Zuko and Tadashi are still sitting on the bed, and Sokka and Aang are back with Katara.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sokka's heart was torn. He sulked all the rest of the evening and into the early hours of the late night. His eyes were wide with fear, and his breaths were heavy. What was going to happen to Tadashi? What was going to happen to Kila?

He just couldn't leave, he had to go back.

He ripped Aapa's reins out of Aang's hands without another word and steered Aapa back toward the ship.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tadashi looked up at Zuko.

"Wa…what was that for?" She realized she seemed a little angry, but she didn't feel angry. She felt…neutral, but horribly angry. Like it didn't matter right now that she had just kissed a banished prince of the Fire Nation…well, actually, he kissed her, but that made no difference what happened had happened, and there was no changing it.

"Zuko?" Tadashi said, hiding her anger.

"Yes?" Zuko replied coldly. He didn't quite know what to say, so it was best just to go along with Tadashi's decision, but he didn't know…

Tadashi lit her hand in flame and firebended Zuko off the bed in surprise. Zuko didn't want to hurt Tadashi, but…

Sokka broke in through the window.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" He shouted. Aang stood behind him, ready to attack.

Zuko was stupefied. "What the heck is going on? Tadashi…how-but…"

Tadashi stood next to Sokka, but he just ignored her.

"Zuko, stay AWAY from Tadashi, she doesn't need you!" Sokka continued.

Zuko ignored Sokka though. He attacked the warrior with a ball of fire, hitting Sokka's left arm. He yelled in pain and fell to his knees while Zuko went for Aang, who had not expected Zuko to come at him so quickly. While all this was happening, Tadashi could only sit there and watch in horror. This was all her fault.

Zuko roped Aang's arms behind his back as he tried to struggle away from the prince. There was no use though. Sokka stumbled to his feet and pushed Zuko away from Aang and punched him the jaw with his good arm. Zuko fell back and wiped blood off his mouth. Now it was personal. They went for each other, punching and firebending and doing all sorts of horrible things to each other, but Sokka was too weak. Zuko grabbed him by his burnt arm and threw him back out the window and into the ocean.

Tadashi clasped her hands over her mouth. Sokka was gone.

She leaned over the broken window and saw Sokka burst through the surface, gasping for air.

She had tried to be nice and reason with him, and he abused her and hurt her friends. It was payback time.

Tadashi looked up out the window and saw Aapa hovering above the ocean.

"AAPA! GET SOKKA, HE'S HURT!" She yelled to the bison. Aapa groaned in reply and went underneath Sokka floating unconscious in the water. It shot out of the water with a waterlogged Sokka laying helpless on the saddle.

Tadashi returned to the room to get her revenge.

Zuko had left though; he had taken Aang to a cell. She ran down the hall, past the stairs to the deck, and saw Zuko coming back.

"ZUKO! HOW COULD YOU?" Tadashi screamed.

Zuko turned in surprise. "Tadashi, you know what I needed to do."

"Yeah, and I know what you didn't need to do too! How could you do that to Sokka?"

"I thought he didn't matter."

"I NEVER SAID THAT!"

"Tadashi, I'm sorry, but the Avatar is much more important to me that that Water Tribe boy."

"But he was important to me!" Tadashi's eyes brimmed with salty tears.

"Why are you doing this Tadashi? Why does he mean so much to you? He's just a peasant."

"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM, DAMMIT!"

Zuko slowed himself. "I didn't think I'd have to do this, Tadashi, but if you can't be on my side, then I guess this is the end." Zuko readied himself to fight.

Tadashi took the opportunity right away and pelted a series of fireballs at Zuko. He had managed to dodge all of them, however. He struck back with a swipe at Tadashi's leg. They fought until it came to a point were they were both covered in scorch marks and sweat and blood, and…gross. But the point was, they were fighting to the death, and Zuko was planning on winning. But he had forgotten Tadashi's secret weapon.

Tadashi had become so enraged she engulfed her entire body in flames. They licked away at the color of her hair, turning it from a strawberry blond to a glowing white. She went full throttle at Zuko, and knocked him to the ground. Zuko backed away on the hall's floor, trying to scramble to his feet, but Tadashi was going too fast. She had had enough. The Fire Nation was not going to bother her again.

After the battle, Tadashi returned to her broken bedroom window, calling Aapa's name.

Aapa arrived with Sokka still unconscious on his back. She climbed onto the saddle and sat Sokka up limply.

"Sokka…" Tadashi cooed to the boy. He didn't react.

Tadashi said his name over and over, each attempt a failure.

"SOKKA!" She cried in fear that he might not make it. She wrapped her singed arms around him, crying uncontrollably.

"I never wanted this to happen, Sokka. I just want to go back….I just want to go back…"

She rocked Sokka in her arms, continuing to sob. Her eyes were red and her hair was frazzled and wet with tears.

Sokka coughed the water out of his lungs, but he couldn't control his stomach. He pushed himself away from Tadashi and vomited over the side of Aapa's saddle, and fell back, moaning.

Tadashi wasn't pleased to see Sokka vomit, but she wiped the tears off her face and slowly put her arms around Sokka's shoulders.

"It's okay, Sokka, it's okay. I'm so glad you're alright. I thought…I thought…you wouldn't make it."

Sokka didn't reply, he was far too weak. His eyes were half shut and dizzy, and he tried to say something in a cracked voice. He looked pale and sick, so Tadashi didn't blame him for not being able to speak. He held him close to her, letting continuing tears to roll down her face. She never wanted to let go of Sokka. His body was still limp, but he was alive, and that was all she needed.

Sarah: This was so sweet… (sniff)...

Tweek: Sokka vomited? What's up with you Sarah?

Sarah: I want him to suffer is all.

Tweek: (sigh) You know things aren't going so well with Sokka and Dani.

Sarah: Why should I care?

Tweek: Because deep down you still love him and I know you care about him, Sarah.

(With Sokka and Dani)

Sokka: I give up.

(Goes into the room with Sarah and Tweek)

Sokka: Sarah, I know that I hurt you, and I know that you probably haven't forgiven me, but if you want to give it another shot, I'll be there, okay?

Sarah: (turning from the computer) you mean it, Sokka?

Sokka: Well, yeah. I really liked having you with me, and…yeah.

Sarah: Aw… (Gives Sokka a hug) I missed you, baby!

Sokka: I missed you too!

Tweek: crap.

Dani: Tweek, I know you like Sarah, but if you want…maybe…we could go do something together…

Tweek: ….really?
