Katara had fallen asleep on the grass, napping in the warm sunlight. She yawned opening her eyes and stretching. She turned her head in the direction of the sandbox. 'Oh no…' she thought, seeing sand go flying through the air and hearing a loud yelp following it. She stormed towards the sandbox, pushing her way past the group of children that had crowded around it. She grabbed Soma by the shirt and dragged her away from the sandbox.
"Do you have to be constantly entertained or something?" Katara asked, almost angrily. "I'm sorry… but they were being mean," Soma said, throwing a glare at the group. "Forget about them… c'mon let's get some food," Katara said, leading her away. "Food? YAY!" Soma said, excitedly.
Days passed as Soma and Katara remained at the orphanage… not really aware that they were at one. As Katara went off on her own once in a while, Soma would sit and either play with some sort of toy out front… or ponder on the whereabouts of her necklace. She usually sat by the fence as she did so, under a tree where couples who were walking by could see her.
On one fateful day, however, Soma fell asleep underneath a tree and one particular couple… to be brief… fell in love. Soma didn't even know that she was being watched as Katara came over, woke her up and dragged her off. The couple watched her try to keep up with her friend, laughing as she tripped and almost fell.
"Who are they?" Katara asked Soma, as they stared at the couple who walked among the other children, looking at some of them. Soma shrugged, "maybe their lost," she suggested. "You silly moron, grown-ups don't get lost," Katara said, sitting down on the grass. Soma sat down as well, "what do you think they're here for?" she asked. "Who knows," Katara said, shrugging.
The couple stopped by Katara and Soma. Both looked up at them, getting a little scared by their… huge smiles. "Hello," Katara said, trying not to look directly at the smiles, "can we help you?" They both turned to Soma; she slunk back in fear of the smiles.
"What's your name?" the woman asked. "Uh… Soma," she replied. "Aww… even her name is cute… she's absolutely adorable!" the woman fussed, getting closer to her. "Katara help!" Soma squealed escaping the woman's arms. "We'll take her," the man said. "Take me? Take me where?" Soma asked, hiding behind Katara. "To our home of course," the woman answered.
"Katara too?" Soma asked. "Umm… well not exactly… you see… we can't exactly take her…" the woman tried to explain. "Why not?" Soma asked. "Because… we only wanted one child," the man continued. "But Katara will be alone then… I don't want to leave her!" Soma whined. "C'mon sweetie you can see her whenever you want," the woman said, trying to reason.
"I ain't leaving without her," Soma sobbed. "What do you say?… it can't hurt can it?" the man asked. The woman looked at Soma and Katara, "I don't think we have much choice do we?" she asked. "YAY!" Katara and Soma cheered. "We'll sign the papers now and be on our way," the woman said. "Yay!" Katara and Soma cheered again.
