STILL LAURA POV...

"My name is-" Erin ran up behind me. She grabbed my hand and pulled me away. Hard.

"Stop it!" I shouted. I tried to pull away, but she wouldn't let go.

"No! We've gotta go," she yelled. "You can see your boyfriend later!"

"He's not my boyfriend!" I shouted. She didn't let go until she reached the other side of the market place. We joined everybody else and went back to the inn.

"Don't be too pissed," Sarah said. "He'll be back for you. Either that, or we'll help you find him.

"Whatever," I said. Well, this sucks...

LATER...

After dinner, I sat on the side of the bed and eventually fell asleep. A scream woke me up later, though.

"What time is it?" I yelled.

"No idea!" Katara yelled.

"Oh my God!" That was Lizz.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Huh?"

Whatthecrap?

I'm just going to bed. And I did. I woke up again though. Not from a scream, but from some annoying little tapping sound. Everyone else was asleep, and stayed that way as I crept across the floor to where I thought the tapping was coming from. I listened and realized that it was coming from the window. I approached the window, and I was a little scared. Who knew who or what would be down there? If Jet comes back I swear I will...okay...you get the point. I opened the window, and Zuko was down there, throwing rocks at the window.

"What are you doing?" I asked. It was kind of a shout/whisper thing. As long as none of the others woke up, I didn't care.

"Throwing rocks," he said.

"Very funny. What are you doing here? How did you find me? Are you some sort of stalker?"

"Seeing you, this island is so small that you could find a flea, and no, I'm not a stalker."

"That helps," I said. "Hold on." I tip-toed back across the room and out the door. It was cold and I didn't have a jacket. Crap. I slowly walked down the stairs and approached Zuko.

"Come on," I said as I took off down a small rocky walkway. I saw Sarah walk on it one night, so it must be interesting. When the path finally ended at the shore, I gave a sigh of relief. I had no idea where this trail would lead. At least it's not completely stupid.

"A beach," I said softly. "Her weird ways finally pay off."

-TIME GAP-

Once I realized what time it was, I jumped up.

"I really have to go," I said. "My friends will just spazz out."

"Wait-"

"Sorry!" I shouted. I ran back to the inn and got into bed. I woke up later and screamed at the sight in front of my eyes. It was Molly! OMG!

"What the crap?" she asked as she sat up.

"Molly? What are you doing here?" I asked. She doesn't even like cartoons. Okay...I'm kinda freaked out...

"Shut up Laura," she said. "I wanna sleep."

She went back to sleep and so did I. That was so weird.

LATER...

"So Laura," Sarah said. "Where were you earlier?"

"What?" I asked.

"You left," she said. "I saw you go down to the beach. Where I went."

"What are you talking about?"

"And someone was with you."

"No."

"Yes."

"NO."

"YES."

"No," I said.

"No."

"Yes," I said. CRAP!

Sarah smiled. "Don't worry. I won't tell!"

"Sarah..."

"What happened?"

"Nothing..."

"Okay..." She smiled as if she knew something that I didn't.

Sarah POV

I KNOW SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW! I KNOW SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW! I KNOW SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW! AND I'M NOT TELLING!

AN-What is it?
