Yaaay! I knew you would love the cliffies!

Darrin's POV

I was more than a little worried about Syd, but I was also wondering about Sokka. Yes, I'd seen the episode, but things change drastically in this place! As I walked around the woods, thinking I was going in circles, I heard a shout and the sound of feet running. I leapt behind a tree. The feet were coming my way, and I prayed Jet wouldn't catch me. Guess who peeked around the tree.

"AAHH!"

"AHHHH!"

"What are you doing here!" Sokka and I yelled at the same time. "What do you mean, what am I doing here? I was looking for you!" "Me?" Sokka grinned. "I just escaped from Pipsqueak and the Duke."

"Well, what are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to get Appa and warn the villiage, and you're coming with me."

"Syd's with Aang and Katara! What if Jet found her?" I saw Sokka's face go pale - I stopped talking. "Yeah...what if he did?" He stared into space. By now I had been thinking he liked Syd. And I was probably right.

Syd's POV

After a few minutes of struggling, I decided to show some real force. I swung one leg up and kicked Jet right in the face, sending him reeling backward. "Take that, Jungle Boy!" I snarled, getting to my feet. But Jet wasn't paying attention to me - his eye was on Aang. With the speed of Superman, he had snatched Aang's glider and hopped into the trees with it like Curious George. "I don't want to fight you!" Aang called out.

"You're going to have to if you want your glider back!" Jet yelled back. Aang followed him into the trees, and they were gone. "Katara, are you ok?" I went over to her, noticing that she had been crying. "I trusted him!" she sobbed. "And look what he's doing!" I nodded solemnly. "Aang's gonna take care of him."

"I hope so."

Watching her cry like that irked me evem more. I couldn't believe what Jet had done to her. With my anger near the boiling point, I shimmied up the nearest tree to go look for them, planning to get back at Jet.

When I finally caught up to them, all I saw were jumping bodies. All the while I was cooking up a plan to take Jet by surprise. I was a little startled when he got backed up against the part of tree I was behind, but I quickly pulled myself together and aimed my fist at his head.

Clhlong...

He fell from the tree, half unconscious. Aang landed beside me. Apparently, he'd gotten his glider back. "Nice jumping, Syd!" "Thanks," I replied. "I wonder what Katara's going to do to Jet?"

Aand glided both of us back down on Earth - and what a sight we saw! Katara had pinned Jet to a tree with her ice breath! It was SO funny to see it up close, and I almost died laughing. Then, a big, fluffy ball rose up a few yards away. And on its back were two boys - Sokka and Darrin. "Dar!" I was so happy I almost cried. "Sydney! Are you okay?" Dar and Sokka spoke at the same time.

"Uh, yeah, fine."

"You sure?" Darrin climbed down. Katara was hugging her brother. "Come on, we can all ride on Appa!" Aang climbed on first, and helped the rest of us on at the back of Appa's tail. Katara left Jet without a backward glance, but I turned to see his reaction. And froze.

He wasn't looking at Katara. He was staring fixedly at me.
