CH6- Another Chapter Without A Real Title!
We were all sitting in a tent occupied with our own interests. I was watching the sky and clouds. (I know, I know, but it's just something I do and I can't help it) It started getting cold, so I suggested starting a fire. Only problem was that there was no firewood. Someone had to go get some...
"Who will do it?" Katara asked.
"I volunteer- Sarah!" Lucy said with a smile.
"Oh FINE!"I said as I stood up.
"Come on," Lucy said. "The weather's fine!"
I stepped outside the tent, and the moment I did, it started raining.
"I hate you," I said to Lucy.
"Don't worry I know..."
I came back soaked holding a bunch of sticks in my hand. I dropped them on the ground.
My long dark hair hung over the sides of my face as it dripped. Lucy just laughed and laughed. I looked her straight in the eye and spit out a mouthful of water.
"Eeeeewww!" she said laughing. "Groooooossss!"
"Take your stupid sticks and start your stupid fire. I'm soaked and way too cold!"
I plopped down in the warm, dry (mostly dry) tent. I started shivering as Lucy started rubbing sticks together. A small flame appeared and, just as fast it appeared, it grew. Don't worry it didn't burn anything. Lucy all of a sudden put her Oreo on a stick and held it over the fire.
"Come on Sarah!" she said watching the fudge melt. "You've gotta try this!"
"The only thing I'm gonna try," I said shaking my hair a bit. "Is to not become hypothermic!"
"Suit yourself!"
She occupied herself with this fudge melting. After it started dripping she held it to her mouth and stuck out her tongue to lick it off. As anything heated by fire, the fudge was hot.
"HOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!" she yelled, dropping her Oreo in the fire. I had to laugh. I then began shivering again. Darn. I held my hands closer to the fire in hopes of becoming warmer. Besides, I didn't have any extra clothes. Katara was just lying by the fire, and Aang was playing with Momo. I grabbed my knees and bit down on my lip. I was so cold... As I stared into the fire, the next thing I knew, something was draped over me. I turned my head and saw that it was a blue jacket-thing. It was pretty warm. How come they don't make things like them now? Oh well...
As any person would, I was wondering who did it and my eyes rested on Sokka. I noticed he wasn't wearing his jacket-thing. I smiled to myself and suddenly a warm feeling spread throughout the tent. I looked over at Lucy who was starting to nod off to sleep. She was trying to rest her head on Aang's shoulder. Ha. She was so stupid. In a good way though...
"Hey Sarah?" she asked, pushing me over.
"What?" I sounded pissed. You would be too if you were just knocked over like that...
"Campfire!" She said, pointing to it.
"Naw! It's a bunny!"
"Sarah? A campfire? You know? Campfire? Song?"
"Ooooohhhh!" Light bulb.
I smiled and we started singing:
The Campfire Song Song (It's from Spongebob)
"Let's gather 'round the campfire and sing our campfire song!
Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song!
If you don'tthinkthatwe can singit faster then you're wrong,
but it'll help if you'd just sing along!
BUM...BUM...BUM
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song!
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song!
And if you don't that we can sing it faster then you're wrong!
But it'll help if you'd just sing along!
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song!
"Lucy!" I shouted, pointing at her.
"C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song! Sarah!"
"C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song!" I sang. She joined in on the next line.
It'll help!
It'll he-e-elp
If you'd just sing along!
OH YEAH!"
We high-fived to reward ourselves. (Lucy shouted "SHIBBY!" really loud too.)
"Wasn't that relaxing?" she asked smiling.
"Oh yes," I said with an accent. "Lovely really..."
The starts were out. I stared at them and suddenly became enveloped in my own little moment-thing.
"Sarah? Sarah? SARAH? SARAH?" Lucy was getting mad. She finally pushed me over again, but this time I landed on Sokka.
"Hi, how ya doin'?" I asked him asI sat up. I blushed sorta and glared at Lucy. She was laughing. Again. I have to kill her. Again.
"You- hahahah- the look on- hahahahahaha- your face! It was so- hahahahaha- funny!"
"Too many witnesses, Lucy. Too many witnesses."
"Oh shut up and have an Oreo," she said, shoving one in my mouth. I spit it out.
"Are you trying out some new form of cosmetic surgery by stretching out my mouth with Oreos?"
"No, but that's a great idea!" she said smiling.
"Oh crap."
We started wrestling, rolling around the tent. She was trying to stuff Oreos down my throat while I tried to hold her back. Aang and Katara, unnoticed by everyone else...( I probably shouldn't mention it...)
LONG STORY SHORT- Lucy got pissed, I laughed (extremely hard by the way),Katara and Aang were a bit embarrassed, but I have to say it was great. Oh man...
The rain had stopped, so I stepped out of the tent for a moment to gaze at the stars like I do every night. Lucy, being the stubborn one she is, wouldn't come and insisted on staying in the tent. (If any of you can guess why. Ha.) I lied down and stared in awe at the sky. It was nearly pitch black and the starts brightly illuminated the sky.
"Wow," I whispered softly. I had never seen this much of the sky at once. No buildings or houses to block the view. "It's beautiful," I said in deep admiration of the sky's beauty. Once again the night sky had me hypnotized. I wondered what Lucy was doing. I heard a rustle and looked around. The last thing I wanted was to hear weird noises all alone in the dark. I heard it again. What was going on? I looked around again and nothing happened, so I assumed that it was just an animal or something. I had that weird feeling though, as if I was being watched. I hate that feeling. Although I decided it was nothing, that feeling wouldn't go away. And I was about to find out the down side of being in a cartoon.
AN- Haha! Cliffie! Hate to read 'em, love to write 'em. What's gonna happen? Tune in next time to Gimme A Break WouldJa? The upside of being in a cartoon is that anything can happen and the downside? You'll just have to find out.
