Chapter 4: Soaring
When we got back from the woods, Sokka came running towards us. "Food!" He yelled, happily. "Sokka! Excuse my obnoxious brother. Hi, my name is Katara," I already knew who she was, thanks to television. I took her outstretched hand and shook it. "My name's Sophia. Momo picked up a mango and started peeling it. Sokka stopped eating. "mane's Pokka," He said, mouth still full. Momo licked his hands and wanted to shake mine, instead I patted him on the head.
"Sokka, you ate all the food!" Aang exclaimed. (sighs) "Guess we have to go into that small Earth village for the 50th time. Sophia, want to come with me?" I was a bit surprised how Aang had instant trust in me, but might as well! "Um.. sure!" "Climb on Appa," Aang said, already airbending his way onto the bison. I tried to copy his move, but slipped and fell. "You okay?" Aang said, offering his hand to me. (blushie!) I turned red. "Yea,( I finally was able to copy his move sugccessfully) I'm fine. Aang turned red too.
"Appa, yip- yip!" Aang turned around to look at me. 'She still has a lot to learn, but she seems, special somehow.' "Why are you smiling at me like that(I know, I know, first episode dialogue)?" "Oh, I was smiling?" Appa landed in the grass, a little ways away from the village. "Why did we land?" "Because, well, Appa's kind of noticeable," Appa snorted. I pat his nose. "Brr! It's so cold! How are we going to get to the other side of the lake anyway?" I ask, looking out onto the frozen lake. 'We aren't going to walk, are we?'
"We, (pulls glider out) are going, (opens it) to fly!" 'Sorry I asked.' I walked over to Aang. "Aang, I'm not to sure of this….." He grabbed my hand. "Do you trust me?" 'this is wayyyy tooooo corny!' "Yes," Aang tucked his feet on the back of the glider. "Here, grab on to the top part of the glider and I'll hold you," "Aa- Okay," I did trust him, the only thing I was worried about was that I wasn't the lightest person it the world.
I put my hands threw the handle bars of the glider. Aang put his arms around my waist. "Aang, Im having second THHHOOUGGHHTTTSS!" I yelled as we flew off the ground. "This is incredible!" I said as we soared and flipped threw the air. I never felt so free.
After flying in the air, Aang and I landed. 'Am I falling in love with..Aang? Oh, shutup Sophia! In your dreams!'
