"I said get my tea. It's time to go!" I said. "I don't want to stay here all day!"
"Whatever you say, Sarah," Lucy said giggling. "Whatever you say."
"Lucy," I said. "This is one of those moments when I want to put my hands around your neck and squeeze very tightly."
She simply held back a laugh and continued walking. Right now I just want to- wait a minute. That sounded familiar. I looked and saw an old man leave the tea shop I was just in. He was shaking his head, and I was sure I heard the word 'ginseng' among his muttering. Crap. He seemed to be walking toward us. Please turn, please turn, please turn. Crap. He didn't turn.
"You guys," I said. "I think you were right about getting too much tea."
"What?" Laura asked.
"Turn around," I said. She did and approached Iroh. (Well duh it's him)
"I apologize," she said. "My friend, you see, she is what my people call-"
"A schizophrenic," Lucy said.
"A what?" he asked, puzzled.
Laura shrugged and said,"It simply means that she is-"
"Completely psycho," Lucy said.
"Close enough. She thinks that without tea, she would never-uh-never-"
"Uncle, can we get out of here?" Zuko was soon at Iroh's side and might I say he looked pissed.
As they argued, we slowly crept off and found Appa. Quick AN-Did you know that 'appa' means dad in Korean? Got that from a friend. We loaded all of the stuff on him, and were nearly ready to leave. I just had to get my tea up there. Once I did, I joined the others on Appa's saddle and sat on the edge. I was simply, as some say, 'taking in the view,' and the next thing I knew, I was hanging off the edge of the saddle. I found a thick rope hanging off of the saddle and grabbed it. I looked down and say the choppy water rotating under me and my stomach churned. Crap.
"Is there anybody up there that sees me dangling here?" I called up. Laura peered over the edge and saw me hanging there.
"How's it going?" she asked.
"My hamster died, I got a brand new PSP, and I'M TOTALLY IGNORING THE FACT THAT I'M HANGING ON THIS THING FOR DEAR LIFE!"
She laughed and grabbed the other end of the rope.
"Pull genius!" I shouted up to her. She pulled. "AGAIN!" She pulled again. "Once I get up there I am going to hurt you very hard." She just gave me that stupid smiley look she always gives me. Darn it! She left me hanging there. That little piece of fart.
"Hey! Get back here!" I shouted.
"Keep yourself entertained! You'll think of something!" she shouted back.
I thought for a moment and then it came to me.
AN- I think the tune is that Clementine song. You know..oh my darling oh my darling oh my darling clementine!...okay...anyways..here it is!
The Peanut Song
"I found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut last night!
Last night I found a peanut, found a peanut last night!
I cracked it open, cracked it open, cracked it open last night!
Last night I cracked it open, cracked it open last night!
It was rotten, it was rotten, it was rotten, last night!

"OKAY! OKAY!" Laura said grabbing the ropeShe pulled the rope upand I climbed over the edge of the saddle.
"Well that sucked," I said.
"Actually, I found it quite funny!" Laura said with a British accent.
"Whatever," I said leaning out against the edge of the saddle. Laura occupied herself with counting a small pile of tea leaves that had spilled. Every time she got close to finishing, a small breeze would blow them, and she would have to start over. Lucy was occupied with staring...at someone...take a guess...I'll give you a hint. It starts with Aa and ends with ng. I didn't laugh though. It wasn't funny enough. Yet. KIDGONEBANANAS777 WANTS TO HURT ME! YES, YES I KNOW...BUT IF YOU HATE ME NOW JUST WAIT UNTIL LATER! I HAVE THE POWER! AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! I AM THE CHAMPION! MY FRIENDS! OH YEAH BABY! okay...and now back to the show!
Okay, okay...so it was getting PRETTY boring just, you know, sitting there, so I made up this game. Every time I see a cloud, I decide what it looks like. Understand so far? Good. Next, I come up with a word that rhymes with it, and think of something that it reminds me of and build on that until I think of something else to do. It's pretty time consuming. I saw one that looked like a tomato. Tomato rhymes with potato. Potatoes reminded me of Laura whose feet stink. Very badly. Foot. If you say it the right way it sounds like butt which Laura says a lot. Butt. It sort of rhymes with doughnut. Doughnuts. I like doughnuts. That reminded me of the time I saw this short clip when Tre Cool (Green Day drummer) was sitting with a table of doughnuts in front of him. He said "Tre Cool plays the drums in Green Day and he-" he shoves a doughnut sprinkle up his nose- "Snorts doughnut sprinkles." That was funny. Green Day. I started singing to myself: I want to be the minority. I don't need your authority. Down with the moral majority, cause I want to be the minority. I pledge allegiance to the underworld-
"Sarah?" Laura asked looking at me. "What are you doing?"
"I just related tomatoes to the song Minority!"
"What?"
"It's really cool! Watch." I explained the whole thing to her and she sat there with a weird look on her face.
"You're so retarded," she said.
"I can live with that," I said with a shrug. After a while I got pretty bored. Actually I was extremely bored and later I WAS SO FREAKING BORED YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT. Crap. I looked back at Lucy who was sitting by Aang as he drove Appa. It wasn't funny. Besides, I'm a better friend than that!
No, you're not. You know you're not.
What are you talking about! I am! I am!
No you're not. You suck! You would laugh no matter what. You know that it's hilarious...
Shut up! I can't think! Whose side are you on anyway?
Mine. Whose are you on?
Mine. Wait. We're the same freaking person, right? How are we fighting?
We just are.
I hate you.
And I hate you too.
You guys are so retarded!
Look who's talking!
Besides, I'm not retarded! We all know that that's hilarious!
You don't think you're retarded? You're fighting with yourself!
So are you!
STOP THE MADNESS! STOP THE MADNESS! I CAN'T TAKE IT! I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND! HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?
You don't have a mind. You are in a mind. We're all in the same one, genius.
Duh. And we've been doing this for about what? Half a minute?
I hate you.
I hate you more!
You idiots! SHUT UP YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!
Hey! In Madagascar! Oh shut up you are so annoying!
What?
I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it. You like to?
MOVE IT!
Am I the only sane one here?
I like Madagascar. Sue me!
Don't worry, I will soon enough...
So...how's life been treating you guys?
Good...good...that one part sucked...good...
What part sucked?
I don't want to talk about it...
It can't be that bad...
Okay...okay...
SEVERAL MINUTES LATER
And then, when I was 7, they said my turtle ran away, but I knew they were lying to me...because...because...turtles can't run!
It's okay, it's okay. -rolls eyes-
This is good. Instead of keeping your feelings in you're letting them all out, and besides, even though your turtle didn't run away, and your rabbit didn't win a one-way trip to Lithuania, you're still the sarcastic, always pissed, part of Sarah's mind that we know and love.
Really?
Yes. Now, can we just go back to what we normally do, cause I think Sarah's about to go crazy.
Okay. Let's just have a little fun with her...
I blinked a few times to be sure I was okay.
"Sarah?" Lucy asked. "Are you okay?"
"I don't know," I said. "I never had a Lithuanian rabbit. I'm so confused!"
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"Those voices again..."
"Skitso," she said laughing.
Ready?
Yup.
I've been ready.
Okay. 1, 2, 3!
"Sarah!" This time it was Laura shouting. "Pay attention!"
"But the voices in my head," I said slowly. "They are telling me to..to...to.."
"Sarah," Lucy said. "Are the voices in your head telling you to do anything dangerous?"
"They're telling me to eat pie," I said. "Lots of it. There's no pie up here!"
Wow. This is fun.
I told you!
I never doubted you.
Let's tell her to-
"I'm so confused right now," I said. "Okay! Okay! Voices you listen to me! If you don't shut up, I'll poke you with a Q-tip again."
No! Not the Q-tip!
Anything but that!
Isn't a Q-tip that stick with the soft thingy on the end? That wasn't so bad you guys. Right? Hey! Where'd you go? Guys? Guys? Don't leave me!
"That should take of that," I said.
"Skitso," Lucy said.
"It's not my fault!" I said. "Fine be that way!"
"Don't worry," she said. "I will."
The sun was starting to set. I always thought that the sky, at any time of day, looked as if it had been painted. I pulled out my note pad and starting writing.
The Painter
Earth as the canvas
Ocean water clean the brush that paints the sky
Sunset skies stroked
Clouds lightly dappled
Stars dotted on
The moon's glow illuminated
As the painter dips his brush to paint
The fields and mountains on and off the canvas of the Earth
For us to view and admire
As we wonder who the painter is.
I put down my pencil and read it over a few times. I think that gets the point across. The sky became an inky blue with few clouds. I'm not sure when, but I fell asleep. My dream was another vision thingy- I think.
It was dark. Really dark. I got up and started walking toward the village. As I walked I saw not only charred remains of objects- but of people from the village. After walking through I stopped at one body that lay at my feet. I got down on my knees beside it and started crying. It was a man with hair just like the one I saw in the reflection. The eyes were gray-green. His face had a shocked look, as if in the last moment. I soon found out why. An arrow was lodged in his neck and a small pool of blood had dried under it. I reached to pull out the arrow all though it would do no good. After pulling it out I examined it closely. The arrow head was covered in dried blood and tissue. I threw it aside and noticed a package in his hand. I pried it from his lifeless grip and opened it. It was a pair of -I didn't know what they were, but I guess whoever's POV I was seeing from did. They looked like these big hook-things. I'll figure out what they are later. It looked like I had seen them before...somewhere. I picked them up and cried again. This time being the longest. I grieved over the body, and then decided it was best to move on. I continued through the village and found what I was looking for. A fire nation helmet. There were also many weapons lying astray with the fire nation insignia. Charred remains, ashes, bodies. It was all so much that had been destroyed. Homes, families, people, hearts. I cried as I walked through the rest of the village. After finding nothing salvageable, I left clutching the weapons in the package tightly.
I bolted upright with a gasp. After looking around and seeing that I was safely on Appa with everybody else, I calmed down and thought about what I had seen. Basically, the fire nation destroyed a village and killed just about everyone they saw. Whoever's POV I was seeing from, lived in the village and the woman who died in the fire, and the man shot by an arrow must have been special to him. Probably his parents. The weapons in the package. His father must have gotten those for him. They were meant to be delivered, but never were. Where have I seen those before? Then it hit me. I went back to sleep only to have another outrageous dream. I was standing in a forest.
"Hello?" I called out. "Hello? Anyone here? Lucy? Laura? Anyone?"
I continued on and then found myself surrounded by figures that I couldn't see. Lucy, Aang, Laura, and Katara were all running away.
"Guys!" I shouted running. "Guys come back! Wait! Wait!"
Lucy turned around and hatred glowed in her eyes. She ran even faster, and Aang and Katara followed. Laura slowed down and turned. I heard her mumble, "bye...bye...never meet again...bye...never again..." she turned back and kept on running.
"WAIT!"
They kept on running and never looked back. The shadows got closer and closer. I could here whispers.
"Closer...closer...closer..."
Laura's faint voice growing louder and louder. "Never again...no...never meet...never see...never again...no...no..never again..." Lucy's eyes glowing bright with hatred and anger.
"Closer...closer...closer..."
"Never again...never again...again..."
I started running and fell. One of the figures hovered over and held a sword to my face, waving it in front of my eyes. Back and forth and back and forth. I closed my eyes and all I could see was the eyes, glowing.
I woke up immediately and looked around. Nothing had happened. Everyone was asleep.
"You okay?" Sokka asked.
"Yeah," I said. "Fine. Just a bad dream. Go back to sleep."
"Can do," he said turning over.
It was just a dream. Just a dream. It's not real. Just because I can see things that happened doesn't mean that I can see things that will happen. Right?
