A few hours later, Sokka was studying his map. He and Aang were the only ones awake. Katara and Kyoto were fast asleep. Sokka was sneaking a peek or two at Kyoto every now and then. She looked so beautiful…so relaxed. Aang was holding on tightly to Appa's reins, and he sighed deeply. It was sort of a mix between worry and boredom.

Finally he spoke up. "Sokka…when are we going to get there?" Sokka smiled slightly. He knew how Aang felt. "Sorry this is taking so long. It's sort of far off. Might be another day or so." Aang groaned, and didn't even bother to ask Sokka how he found out where Zuko was. Then, he face grew serious. "Sokka…where are we going? You keep telling me to go a certain direction…but where are we landing?"

Sokka stayed silent for a few moments. Then he changed the subject. "Aang, why don't you get some sleep? It's a long way, you need your rest." But Aang remained stubborn. "Sokka! Stop hiding this from me. Please…I want to know."

Sokka remained firm. He looked out into the distance, avoiding eye contact. "I can't tell you Aang…not yet." Aang looked at Sokka, and his chin quivered. "The more you don't tell me…the more scared I am…if you won't tell me…then it must be really bad."

Sokka didn't respond. Finally, after a few minutes, he spoke. "I'll tell you when we make camp…tonight." Aang relaxed. It was better then nothing.

Sokka looked at Aang, and said "Why don't you relax for a little while? I'll take it from here." Aang agreed. As long as Sokka would tell him that night, he was fine.

Sokka took the reins, and Aang laid in the back, in between Katara and Kyoto. He had trouble sleeping, though. When he finally did fall asleep, they were almost there.

Only about an hour later, Aang opened his eyes, waking up in a hurry. He sat up quickly, rubbing his eyes. "S-Sokka?" It was dark, but thanks to the help of a campfire, he could see they were in a forest. The fire wasn't too big, but he was warm. There was no tent, but he was on top of a sleeping bag, beside Katara, who was still asleep. Looking around worried, Aang suddenly had a strong urge to see Sokka. Finally he spotted him, beside Appa. He was looking at his map again, writing some details. Kyoto was next to him, and Sokka was smiling.

Aang stood up and came over to Sokka. Sokka looked up at him. He actually looked happy. Aang asked in a sort of sleepy voice "Sokka…where are we?"

Sokka beamed. "We're halfway." Aang finally got his thoughts together, as not many people can think first thing after waking up. He knew they had made camp. It was time. Taking Sokka aside, he asked. "You promised." He said quietly. Sokka looked at Aang a minute, feeling nervous. But he knew deep down, that Aang was right, and he couldn't break a promise. He nodded. "I did." Telling Aang to sit down, Sokka sat beside him, ready for any emotion that Aang would feel. "Okay…Aang, I know you've seen me writing on my map more then much of anything else right now. " Aang nodded, anxious for Sokka to hurry up and tell him. Sokka continued " Well…Zuko is looking for you right now, as usual. But sense he doesn't know where you are, he's gone to the firenation base to plot it out."

Aang suddenly wished Katara was awake and next to him. He knew what was coming next. Sokka put a hand on his shoulder. " That's where we're going."

Okie, next is Aang's reaction to the whole idea, and a few other things. Hope you liked it, thank you SO much for the reviews, please let me know what you think of this chapter. As you can see, it's one of my longer ones.
