Chapter Four: Sokka

"So! Are you guys ready for my food today?" Sokka said cheerfully at the morning campfire.

"…"

"I'll take that as a yes! I'm gonna go hunt!" And at that, Sokka walked into the forest with his boomerang and space sword.

Toph threw her hands in the air in front of her and said, "Snoozles better have some good food. And if he doesn't I'll go insane with starvation!"

"Yeah. First we have small nuts and then we had unchewable meat, then we had your slime! We deserve something edible, otherwise I think I might start considering cannablism…." Suki agreed.

"These three days without Katara to cook has been very….unbearable." Zuko added.

Sokka emerged from the forest with a grin on his face that spread from ear to ear. He must have been proud of himself.

"Sokka where's the animal?" Suki asked.

Sokka proudly opened his hands and revealed two small dead Meadow Voles. (as seen in Winter Solstice Part 1: The Spirit World when Iroh is relaxing in a self-heated pool of water located in a nearby forest.)

"I caught some more along with some Elephant Rats! Look!" Sokka handed the two Meadow Voles to Suki and pulled out three more dead Meadow Voles and two Elephant Rats from his pocket.

Aang looked at the six small and bloody rodents in horror.

"Sokka, all you got were these….things?" Zuko picked up a tiny Elephant Rat and held it up to his golden eyes in disgust. "Couldn't you have at least caught some baby sabertoothmooselion cubs?"

"Well I'm sorrryyy that my catch doesn't work with the Prince's taste buds!"

They sat around the fire on the ground. Toph, Zuko, and Suki were each holding a stick with one roasted rodent on it. But Sokka had three on his stick because of his appetite.

Suki politely and hesitantly took the first bite out of the four of them. She held her breath and closed her eyes hoping that Sokka didn't accidentally poison it or something. And… Suki bit into it and took her first chew.

That thing she just put in her mouth bursted with liquid!

"Ahhhhhhhhh! Ew. Ew. EW!"she quietly screamed with her mouth full. She cringed and stamped her foot on the ground. But, being the polite and sweet girlfriend she is, she put on a fake smile to Sokka and said it was delightful.

"HEY TOPH! You try it!" Sokka told Toph.

Toph who just heard Suki's reaction wide eyes said. "NO! Nonononono. Nooo way in the world I'm eating that."

"But Suki said she liked it!"

"I'm not eating that Sokka."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yesss you are."

"NOOO I'M NOT!"

"YES YOU ARE!"

"NUH-UH!"

"UH-HUH!"

"NU-UH!"

"UH-HUH!"

"NO SOKKA! I. WILL. NOT. EAT. THAT- AHHHHHH!"

Sokka stuck the rat in her mouth and Toph was yelling like a mad man.

"EW! EW! It-it just…-EW!" Toph stammered. "I'M. GONNA. HURT. YOU"

*gulp* "I'm.. gonna start running now…" and Sokka ran around the fire with an angry Toph chasing after him.

But Zuko, who saw Suki's and Toph's judgement of the food, slowly started tip-toeing away from the group. Hoping to Agni that he wasn't caught trying to escape his turn for trying the food, he quietly tip toed, then frantically sprinted into the palace and to his room.

It was just Aang and Suki sitting down on the floor in front of the morning fire now. With Zuko snuck off to his room, and Toph and Sokka running in circles around them, Suki said, "Katara should be back tomorrow."

"pfft. She'd better be here tomorrow there's no one who can cook." Aang answered.

"Well, I'll cook tomorrow if Katara isn't back by then. But I never thought that we depended on Katara's food so much…"
