"Sokka, do we really need all that food?" Katara asked as her brother walked by his arms full.

"We don't, I do!" He said trying to pick up a fallen fruit. "Darn!" He yelled as everything fell from his arms.

Katara broke out laughing, "How can you eat something that you can't even hold!"

"Shut up and help me!" He yelled scooping up all that he could.

"Sokka, Katara!" Aang shouted running up to them, "Look what I found!" He held up Momo who was wearing a purple sweater with buttons randomly placed on it.

Sokka stared at it, "Uh, well I thought Mom was freaky enough without the sweater, but now…"

Katara jabbed him in the ribs, "Its cute Aang!" She said. "We need one last thing, cabbages." She said pointing to a cart, "They sell them right there!"

"Isn't that guy a little crazy?" Aang asked.

"Uh, yeah." Sokka answered nodding.

Sure enough the cabbage merchant was cradling three cabbages in his arms.

"Uh, maybe we should find Yumi and Yuri and then go." Katara said walking towards a stand where Yumi was admiring a wooden tiger.

"Yumi, won't you hurry up already!" I said impatiently.

"I'm just browsing!" Paige yelled.

"You have been browsing the same tiger for an hour, let's go!"

"But, but, ok fine!"

"I'm sorry Yumi but we don't have any money."

Yumi sighed and stared at the ground, and then Aang ran up to us.

"Hey we are going to get cabbages, want to come with us?" He asked out of breath.

"Ok, but why do we have to come with you to get little cabbages? Do they bite?" I smiled.

"No, but the merchant's a little…"

"Crazy!" Sokka said coming up behind them.

Katara nodded.

"Ok," Paige said with a grin, "We'll protect you from the cabbage merchant."

We all walked up to the cabbage stand.

"How can I help you?" The merchant asked as he set down the three cabbages that he was cradling.

"Yes," Katara said plainly, "One cabbage please."

"Ok, sure." He picked up two cabbages. "This one is Jessica," he said holding the one in his left hand. "And this one is Yee. Now Jessica is very sweet but Yee can be…"

"Um, excuse me sir, but we don't really care about their personalities!" Sokka growled.

"Well you should! Like I was saying, Yee is very mean at times…" The merchant continued

"Then we will take Yee!" Aang broke in.

"Why Yee?" I asked.

"It's a funny name." Aang said shrugging.

"Very well, just let me say good-bye." The merchant stroked the cabbage, "Goodbye sweet Yee." He handed Yee to Katara who paid him. "I will miss you!" He began crying, he pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed his eyes.

Elsewhere…(In the same village)

Zuko walked off the ship along side his Uncle.

"Hurry Uncle I don't want to lose his trail. He is very close, I can feel it."

"Don't worry about it Zuko." Iroh said, "Go have a look around, maybe you will find something you like."

Zuko rolled his eyes, but possibly someone knew about the Avatars whereabouts. He wondered around until he came near the cabbage stand, where Aang stood.

I have you know Avatar! He said to himself. He shot a fire ball at him, but Aang ducked just in time, the ball hit the cabbage stand, setting it a flame.

"MY CABBAGES!" yelled the merchant, "AHHHHHH! WHY! OH WHY!"

Zuko sent fireball after fire ball, then finally someone got hit, not the Avatar, but Katara. She flew back against the wall.

"Katara!" Sokka yelled. He turned to Zuko, "You hurt my sister!" He attacked him with his boomerang. Aang shot powerful air blasts at him, but then Zuko disappeared.

Aang and Sokka kneeled down next to Katara. Paige and Sarah were already there.

"She is alive," Sarah said to Sokka, "She does have a broken arm I believe and a major burn on the same arm. She will live of course."

Sokka stared at his sister, "I'm sorry Katara, I should have protected you."

On Zuko's ship

How could I do that, I hurt the waterbender. Maybe killed her, if anyone finds out I will lose all the respect I have earned. How could I every hurt a girl. Zuko lay on his bed. He tried to forget, but he couldn't, he wouldn't, he won't. He had hurt the girl he had started to actually love, although he hadn't noticed it yet. He would hate himself forever for doing this.

In the village

After Katara got hurt, she was taken away for treatment. She would be back in a week or two. That night, Aang, Sarah, Paige and Sokka had slept in the village. When Sarah had woken up the next morning, Sokka sleeping bag was empty. Sokka had run away.

What will happen to Katara, what about Sokka? Find out in the next chapter of...

LIFE CAN BE DECEIVING

(P.S Running away doesn't sound like Sokka, I know, but it will all make sence in the end, I CAN LIE YAY! (but what am I lying about?) no one may ever know...

doesn't that stink?
