Sydney's POV

The new guy was irresitibly CUTE! I silently chided myself for having such thoughts, but you have to admit, he wasn't that bad-looking. Katara skipped over to him after the battle. "Thank you for saving us, Jet." So that was his name? I hadn't noticed him say anything. But his explaination for saving us was 'We were waiting for the right distraction.' "We were relying on instinct," Katara said, looking over at Sokka, who was off sulking behind her. "You'll get yourself killed doing that," Jet replied. "We have a treehouse, if you want to see it-" "Yes, we want to see it!" Katara looked rather goofy when she said that. Jet just smiled.

As we walked, Darrin pulled me aside. "There's something I don't like about that guy," he whispered. "I know you and Katara probably think he's cute, but-"

"I do not!"

"Just don't spend too muchtime with him until we know everything." Apparently Sokka felt the same way. Before I could ask him what 'everything' meant, we stopped at the base of some trees. "Hold this, Sokka," Jet said, handing him a piece of rope. "Why, what does this DO!" Sokka rocketed up the tree before you could say 'Wow.' "I have my own way of getting up," Aang said, smiling. "Want to come, Darrin?" "Sure!" Darrin grabbed Aang's hand and airbended up the tree with him. I suddenly felt like that time at school when I was the only one that wore ponytails that day. The outcast. Figures. Suddenly, I had an idea. I'd seen the Jet episode once before, and I was NOT getting up Katara's way...I mightstartgoing all soppy over Jet like she did."I can get up my way, too," I said confidently. I took my pocket knife out of the pocket of my down vest and used it to climb the tree.

Climbing was exhausting, but when I got to the top, I saw little huts, kids, bridges, a beautiful civilazation in a grove of trees. "Nice place you got here!" yelled Aang, flying by on a thin, skyride-like cord. I then spotted Darrin and Sokka observing the place nearby. "What are you doing?" I called out, swinging off the tree onto the bridge. Darrin frowned when he saw me. "You climbed up?"

"Duh. I like Jet, but haven't we seen this eppy before?"

"Oh, yeah..."

Sokka came over, looking a bit harried. "We can't stay for long." "Well, it's going to be hard getting Aang and Katara out of here," I said. Those two were all over Jet like kids on Christmas morning. "I know." Darrin boredly leaned against the tree. "Just think, all this from touching the-ACK!" "What's wrong?" Sokka and I spoke at the same time. "My fingers. They're...pulsing...and when I put my hand on the tree, look what happened."

The tree had grown and extra branch.

"Oh, Dar, you're an earthbender," I said, my voice barely a whisper.

"A WHAT?"
