a/n: personally, i hate this chapter. but it was the best way i could think of to get everyone to meet... oh well... enjoy!

at around nine o'clock, Jet came into zuko and haru's cabin saying that he and the other guys were gonna play a game in his cabin. so this is how, minutes later, all ten boys were playing truth or dare.

"this is a kid's game!" protested sokka to the person who had gotten them all here, Jet.

"that depends on the truths and dares...some dares can be very...challenging." he said mischievously.

the other boys sighed and gave in.

"i guess i'll start" said aang, thinking. "hmmmm...Jet! truth or dare?"

"dare" said the boy fearlessly.

"ok...i dare you to...go wake up all the horses!"

"fine" said Jet. He got up and left, Aang following him. they came back ten minutes later, Jet looking unfazed and aang practically jumping up and down with excitement at what Jet had just done.

"Zuko. truth or dare?" Jet asked.

"dare" he said. Jet grinned, he had been waiting for this moment.

"fine, i dare you to cross the forest and see what's on the other side! we'll follow and hide in the trees."

Zuko scowled. he did not want to be caught out of his cabin after lights out and he certainly did not want to be caught in the forest, but he decided that for his honor, he would do it. and that is how quite literally ran into katara (a/n: don't worry, it's not gonna be zutara. actually i told myself that the only shipping involved would be implied Sukka and that Yuokka has happened but is over. but no Kataang, zutara, Maiko, Taang or anything)

The girls gathered around in Sukki's cabin to play Truth or dare.

"ok, Mai, truth or dare?" asked meng.

"truth" mai said, truly bored.

"yay! ok, how do you make your hair so silky and shiny?" meng asked desperately,

"L'Oreal, because I'm worth it." mai said in a monotone voice.

"seriously?"

"no. i just use a lot of conditioner and high-class hair straightener. wake up early tomorrow and i'll do your hair." she said, still bored.

"oh thank you!" shouted meng as she went over to hug mai.

"ok, ok. get off. Katara. Truth or dare?"

"dare"

"ok" said mai, a hint of interest finally in her voice. "go into the forest and find out what's on the other side."

Katara smiled. she had been waiting for this. She had not gotten an answer from Ju Dee so she would find out on her own.

"perfect" she said and marched straight out of the door, grabbing her hoodie on the way.

a/n: what do you think? if you have any better ideas on how to get both groups into the forest at the same time, please tell me in a review so i can get rid of this horrible chapter!
