AN- POOPIE...no one's guessed who's POV it was...awwww...c'mon...it's not that hard...
CH8- She's Here Too?
After seeing that terrible moment I had to record it one way or another. I pulled out a small notebook that I always kept with me and started writing. Writing is just one of those things I do. Poetry would have to be one of my favorites. The scene was too horrific to describe, but poetry usually brought a visual picture. For me, anyways.
A wall that separates usually never is destroyed
And now I'll never see you again
Closer though I reach
You're just too far to see
As if by magic, you're gone
Where did you go?
And how will I know
If I'll ever see you again?
Happiness was once existent
Now it's been driven out
The heat of tragedy and angst
Closer though I reach
You're just too far to see
I've lost the one I loved
Where did you go?
And how will I know
If we'll ever be together again?
Happily reunited
Love is what it brings
Torn apart and never knowing what to expect
Or what I will see
You're gone that's all I know
My depression, oh it shows
No one understands
The importance of you to me
Closer though I reach
You're just too far to see
I felt as if I mattered
Where did you go?
And how will I know
What to do, now that you're gone?
Oh, how will I know
What to do,
Where to go,
What I'll see,
And how I'll know ?
There. Perfect. This gave a perfect picture of what happened. To me at least. As if by magic though, a new idea popped into my head. It was strange. Just as if it was a spark, my thoughts were suddenly triggered to something happy. I could just imagine a perfect scene. This poem would be tranquil. I began muttering to myself as I quickly scribbled down the poem.
"Yes...yes...at night...stars are out...moon in full view...shining brightly as ever...definitely...no..that wouldn't work...wait a minute, I've got it!...yes...yes..no...yes..." I was writing so fast that I could've sworn that I saw steam coming up from the paper. Lucy came into the tent and sat down beside me.
"Writing another one?" she asked peering over my shoulder to read what I had written.
"No, I'm knitting a sweater for you, how do ya like it?"
"Very funny," she said craning her neck even farther to read.
"Yes, I know," I said scribbling faster and faster until-
"Interesting."
"What?"
"You know what..."
"No," I said shutting my notebook. "I don't. Explain for me, O Brilliant One."
"Come on," she said smiling. "Stars are out? Moon in view? Surprised there aren't any clouds..."
"Oh shut up for once," I said standing up. "It's as if anything I do-"
"Alright, alright," she said standing up. "I"m sorry."
All of a sudden there was a crash. We ran outside and saw a girl on the ground. I recognized her all too quickly.
"How did you get here?" I asked. "Flushed yourself down the toilet?"
"You're hilarious Sarah," she said brushing the dust off her jeans. "Help me up."
"Laura? How the crap did you get here?" Lucy asked. "I was shooting hoops when-"
"You don't have a basketball goal!"
"I know. I was shooting paper into my trash can and I missed. I went to pick it up and I think my trash can ate me."
"Interesting," I said. "So how did you get here Laura?"
"I jumped up and down and shouted 'Alacazam!' How do you think I got here?"
"I don't know..." said Lucy.
"There's the whole toilet possibility," I said yet again.
"I did not get flushed down my toilet!" Laura said. "I fell in."
"Eew," I said stepping away. "I don't want to know how that happened."
"I thought you understood sarcasm Sarah," Laura said rolling her eyes.
"Don't worry," Lucy said. "She's heard enough of it from me."
I quickly slipped back into the tent leaving them to talk about-uhh-stuff. I opened my notebook back to the page I was writing on and continued.
Illuminates the darkness of the night
Ever so gently hypnotizes me
In an almost unbroken trance
Moments you wish you could keep
Stay here, right here with me
As if a brush painted the night
Pointed out the stars
Added the moon
And kept it all together
Illumination against the darkness of the night sky
Chilling breezes simply sway the mood
Keep one in admiration of the beauty of the stars
All the moments you wish you could keep
The desire to remain here forever
Under the brightness of the moon and stars
Is one never to be fulfilled
For-
Darn.My pencil broke. I'm sure I'll find a pencil sharpener here. Yeah. Perfect. I put down my notebook and went back outside. Everyone was just outside...sitting there...
"Sarah!" Laura said approaching quickly. "I thought you'd never come out. What were you doing in there?"
"Stuff," I said smiling.
"What kind of stuff?"
"Stuff stuff..."
She gave me that weird look...
"You know," I said. "By- products..."
"What does cheese have to do with this?"
I had to laugh.
"You're the one laughing," Lucy said joining us. "Yet I must ask-"
"What?"
"What are you wearing?"
"I see you noticed my blueness," I said smiling.
"Yeah. Where'd it come from?"
"You guys are so stupid. This is a cartoon."
"SO?"
"I wonder aboot you guys..."
"SARAH!" Laura shouted. "I am going to kill you."
"Okay, okay..."
I spun around, yet again, and was wearing what I was when I came. Jeans, a t-shirt, hi-tops, a jacket, and my Life Is Good ཥ cap.
"Any questions?" I asked.
"Sarah..." Lucy said, shaking her head.
"What? It's pretty frikin' sweet right?" I asked.
"Yeah. Sure."
"Man, you guys suck!"
"Any other newsflashes?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"I 'll take that as a 'no.'"
"Where's your sense of-uh- well-"
"Sense of what?"
"I don't know."
Laura rolled her eyes. Could she not comprehend the total awesomeness of the fact that we were in one of our all time favorite cartoons? Obviously not.
"So what were you doing in there Sarah?" Lucy asked, eyeing me suspiciously.
"Writing..." I said, not really understanding where this was going.
"Oh really? What were you writing?"
"Some poems..."
"What kind of poems?" She had that huge stupid smile on her face. Okay, now I'm just really confused here. Sometimes I wish I could read minds...
"You know...," I said slowly. "Poems..."
"Can I read one?" she asked, her smile growing. I was just freaked out.
"Look...you're just freaking me out here Lucy. What's going on? Who are you and what have you done to her? Why must the good die young?" Oh. Wait a minute. She doesn't fall into the 'good' category now does she? I was in one of my acting moments and was currently stationed on the ground. My knees were getting really dirty.
"You could comment any time," I said, still in my position. "My knees aren't gettin' any cleaner!"
She started laughing and I did too. Once Laura did we were all just clutching our sides except for me. I had fallen on the ground and was sort of rolling around. I accidently rolled into Laura and she fell on top of me. Lucy, growing redder in the face, tripped and we were in a hopeless heap on the ground. I, unfortunately, was on the bottom.
"Where exactly are they from?" Katara asked with a strange look on her face.
"Wherever it is, I'm glad I've never been there," Sokka said as they watched us.
After several minutes of this, Jet emerged from behind the trees, approaching Katara slowly. Crap. The whole 'I'm taking her and using her as bait to lure you guys there so I can defeat you and what not' plan. I stood up, still laughing and pointed at him. He was walking in a little bit of a limp and I had to laugh.
"Hey!" I said laughing. "You're back to finish the job I guess. My foot is too."
Everyone had turned around and was watching Jet. He wasn't doing anything, which I figured out, was just part of his plan. I turned around to see some of his freedom fighters. It was too late though, because they had us all tied up on the spot.
"Okay," I said, my hands tied to my back. "This is a new thing."
"You guys," Laura said, excited. "I could never reach this spot on my back!"
"Laura," Lucy said. "Did you ever think that maybe that doesn't matter right now?"
"Well yeah, but it's pretty sweet."
"So," Jet said, pacing around us."You thought you'd escape again did you? You thought that I didn't know you'd see me? That it would be dead obvious? That I wouldn't merely use that as a distraction? Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
"Yes," I said, holding back a laugh.
"Well, what do you think now? Now that I've got you and your friends, the precious Avatar, captured? What do you think now?" he asked, his face merely inches from my own.
"Dude," I said putting my hands up to my nose. " I think they're called breath mints."
He growled and simply continued pacing around us like a lion does in its cage at a zoo where it is constantly taunted by little children that laugh and throw peanuts at it. I heard him mumble something about "they won't escape" as he furrowed his brow in frustration.
"Upset about those peanuts?" I asked, thinking of the zoo. He glared at me and pulled out the little grass thing he always chews on. "Look," I said, trying to reach up and untie myself, "When I said breath mint I didn't mean that." He just looked away, extremely pissed by the way he was acting which meant my plan, it was working. I couldn't get myself untied, so I looked around for something that could cut the rope. My sight was limited since I was tied up in a bundle and the only way to move was to bounce like a cute little bunny, but if I did that I would surely be noticed so I sat there.
"Hey Sarah?"
"Yeah Lucy?"
"Well, I have to say that in this whole crappy mess-" she took a deep breath. "I blame you."
"ME?"
"Yes, you. You got us into this, AND YOU BETTER GET US OUT!"
