"Where WERE YOU??" Sokka blurted out right there and then,
"Relax, I just went out for a little while for some tea." Katara replied in a calming way,
"Yea, a LITTLE while?? You've been out for like the WHOLE afternoon! And you didnt even tell me where you were going!"
"Well, its not like I need your permission or anything!" Katara said crossing her arms
"Im glad hes not my brother." Toph whispered to me and she smiled. I let out a small chuckle.
"Anyways," I said practically yelling, "Sokka, can I have a man to man conversation with you?" I elbowed him in the ribs.
Sokka sighed. "Well, Katara did get here, so okay."
I let him lead somewhere where we could hopefully talk and I then I looked at Katara, then at Toph. They were silent. 'Oh well better than seeing flying boulders everywhere.' I thought as I follwed Sokka I turned back yet to peep a little of any motion I could get out of Toph or Katara. Turns out they were talking to each other. I turned back and sat on a tilted rock like Sokka did.
We had to brush the hanging leaves that were covering our faces so that I could lead him somewhere privately. We came across a flat area with bumpy rocks. The rocks were of course gray but it was getting late and it made the rocks look a dark color.
"So whats on your mind?" Sokka said as he took a seat on a flat rock, "Do you need any--ouch!"
As Sokka stood up you could a spider crab where he sat down.
"Something BAD always happens to ME!" Sokka cried as he was rubbing his bottom. "You are SO dinner!"
Sokka got out his boomerang in attempt to kill the animal but he was too late as the spider crab crawled away. Sokka sighed the second time in the day and decided he might as well start sharpening his boomerang.
"Uhhh...well, i did plan on something." I said hoping to be able to talk to him now. "And I need your advice."
Sokka stopped his sharpening as he sat up tall and straight."Yep 'cause I am the best person to turn to." he said pointing to himself.
"You see, I wanted to take Toph out to lunch tomorrow, but I'm not so sure that thats such a good idea. What do you think Katara will think?"
"What? Why would Katara care?" he asked as if he was getting curios,
I let out a breath of relief. Sokka didn't know that Katara ran off when I broke her heart.
"Nevermind! I just wanted to ask you what you would think."
Sokka put his hand on his chin and said, "It sounds like you two are actually going out. Like on a REAL date"
"I know. We are."
"What?!?" Sokka said almost jumping, "Youre what? Only 12? Your way to young!"
"No, I'm 13. And so is Toph."
"It doesn't matter! Shouldnt you be saving the world instead or something?"
"If I'm old enough to save thousands of people, dont you think I'm mature enough to go out with one girl?" I said persuasivly.
"Well, I guess so." Sokka said putting his finger on his chin. "But I still think your way too young." he said as he grabbed me and rubbed my head playfully.
"Yeah, I mean haven't you liked girls when you were 13." I said ignoring the noogie
"Of course I did." Sokka said almost immediatley.
"Okay then. So, do you know any good resturants to take her?" i asked, actually hoping for an answer.
"You know what, I saw this rice cafe called Chop and Sticks." he looked at the rock and sat down on it. "I saw it when I went to the market. Man you should of seen it!! The best mongoose meat ever!! You should try it out."
"Don't you remember? I don't eat meat. "
"Well, what about Toph?"
"Of course she--" I had to give it some thought, but it turns out that I really dont know if Toph eats meat or not. "I have another problem. I dont know which type of food she likes and if she eats meat or not!"
"Well, I think you should just ask her."
"I don't know, she might think that I don't know enough about her. What will I do then?"
"Hmmm...I know! Remember at the earth king's party? She was eating a crabpuff."
"Okay, so then to Chop and Sticks we'll go. I just hope she'll like it."
It'll just be me and Toph. No one else. Right?
