Syd and Jet, somewhere in the woods
I opened my eyes. I felt that I was propped up against something hard, and I tried to turn around to see what it was. A tree."Ow!" I grabbed the back of my head. It hurt like crazy! "Did I conk myself out or something?" I complained to no one in particular.
"Well, we fell in the river and you hit your head on a rock, I guess."
"Jet! You're alive?" I watched as he grinned at me from the river, which I hadn't noticed. "Yep, alive. The water sort of woke me up, and then I saw you were in trouble." He stood and walked over, sitting next to me. "Are you okay?" I smiled and nodded. "I think so. Did you see where the others went?"
"No, but I'm sure they're okay. I do know that Azula took Zuko and left on the ship, though." Figures. Zuko was her brother, and I supposed she missed him. Oh, well. "Are you okay?" I asked, sitting up. He smiled that cute smile (aargh, hormones!) again. "Fine, just fine."
I sighed with relief. Now there was nothing to do but search for Darrin, Kayla, Jon, Andy, Katara, Sokka, and Aang. I guess I hadn't realized I was shivering, but alas, I was. The air was cold, and my clothes were damp. "Are you cold?" I flushed as I felt Jet's hand touch mine. "M-maybe a little..." I answered nervously. He put his arm around me. Here I was probably as red as a marscharino cherry by now. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it." I felt myself turn ultra-super-duper-fantastically-marscharino-cherry-red as he leaned over and kissed me.
Darrin, Katara, and Aang, same clearing by the sea
"Ouch!" Katara stumbled forward for the third time. "Darrin, you keep stepping on my heels." "Sorry," Darrin muttered, glancing down to see where Katara's feet stopped moving. He had to findSyd. What if she and Jet were killed by the smoke? "What's the matter, Darrin? You look like Appa when he dosen't want to fly." Aang turned his way and walked backwards. Darrin looked up and sighed, realizing that he'd had a crestfallen expression this whole time. "Sorry, but I'm worried about Syd." Katara nodded. "So am I." Aang turned back around. "It's my fault," he said sadly. "Aang, how's it your fault?" Darrin gave the airbender a startled look. "Well, they're hunting me. I got you guys in trouble." "No, Aang, nothing's your fault." Katara touched his shoulder. Darrin didn't say anything. All he could think of was his best friend.
Kayla and Jon, walking through the woods
Kayla and Jon were briskly heading in the direction of the water. "Slow down, chica, I can't go this fast," complained Jon. Kayla rolled her eyes and glanced at her watch. "Stop gripig, we've only been walking for 20 minutes. You're being such a big baby." Jon was not amused by this insult. "And what about you? You scream every time we pass a bug, and you just have to rake out all the grass in your hair. It's girly." Kayla swung to face him, white blond hair flying. "GIRLY! WE ALMOST GET BARBECUED IN THE WOODS BY ANGRY FIREBENDERS AND YOU'RE MENTIONING MY GIRLY HABITS?"
"Yeah."
Kayla's glared at him for a few seconds more, then turned back to the trail, storming ahead. "Don't lead us into a ditch, for crying out loud," Jon called after her. "And for Pete's sake, slow down!"
