Sorry for the year long wait, people!
By the time Jon and Kayla settled down and retreated to their proverbial corners,the portal was starting to close. "Uh, guys? If you're going to go, GO." Sokka was staring at the portal. Nodding, I stood up. "Okay, then, let's go..." My voice trailed off as I looked at Jet. "Go on, I'll be fine," he said, smiling. With a sad smile I let go of his hand and joined the others at the portal. "One at a time, so we don't end up with each other's body parts," I said. Darrin laughed and dunked a foot in. "Bye everyone...AGH!" Jon had jumped in, catching hold of Darrin's leg as they disappeared. Andy and Kayla went next. I went last, wondering if I'd ever see Jet again.
"Ouch!"
"Arghh!"
"Oof!"
"Gah!"
A series of displeased noises came from us as the computer in my room spit us out. We were sprawled in various places around the room. The Internet was on, revealing the Avatar fansite I had been on the other day. "THAT WAS SO COOL, DUUUUDE!" Jon was on his feet. Darrin winced and got up, rubbing his neck. "Couldn't you have landed a couple degrees to the left?" he grumbled.
My mom opened the door, holding the phone. "Sydney, turn off the Internet so I can call..." She stopped, looking at all of us. "What is going on here?" We all quickly stood up, brushing ourselves off. "Just a little game, Mom," I said, reaching over and clicking Sign Off. Mom shook her head and went to go call someone. We collapsed into chairs. "That was the coolest thing since instant messaging," Kayla remarked. "Shyeah!" Darrin was grinning. "And I made it happen.
We all stared at him.
"Why's everyone giving me the owl look?"
We all burst out laughing...except Darrin.
AT SCHOOL
When we returned to school the next day, we were bombarded with questions.
"Where's your cute friend Jet?"
"What happened to Zach?"
"Are your friends coming back?"
"Did they move to Canada?"
We would just smile and say, "They went to Avatar Land."
