Katara waited until she was sure that Troah and Soma were too involved in their work to notice her sneak out. She sighed as she stepped out into the sunlight, humming slightly she set off down the streets of Konoha. She looked at her… past classmates, curiosity taking over. 'I wonder who my sensei will be… who will be on my team?' she asked herself as she continued to walk. She looked down momentarily, thinking what if she and Soma were separated. Soma couldn't survive on her own… she was too clumsy to survive on her own.
Her eyes locked on her pendant from the Village Hidden in the Mirror and shuddered. This wasn't the time to be thinking of them… 'I have to forget them,' she thought. She began to walk again, humming once more, trying to take her mind off of… them. She eventually reached the docks, the fresh smell of the water, captivating her.
"Where'd Katara go?" Troah asked. "Who knows," Soma said, "she'll turn up… I gotta get going… see ya later!" "See ya Soma," Choji said, taking out a bag of chips. "See ya Superstar!" Troah called after Soma as she ran out of the studio.
"Hmm… I can almost taste dinner," Soma said to herself as she ran. She was starving, 'let's just hope Katara is already home,' she thought as she turned down the street that led to her home. "Mom! I'm home!" Soma called as she entered the house, "when's dinner?" "Whenever Katara gets home," her mother called back. "She's not back yet?" Soma said, "I'll go find her…"
Soma knew where Katara would be… after all how could they call each other sisters if they didn't know each others likes and dislikes. Sure enough Soma found Katara in the river. "Katara! I'm hungry!" she exclaimed upon reaching her. Katara looked at her, and sighed, "Fine."
Very slowly, Katara began to get out of the water. "Holy crap! How long does it take to get out of water?" Soma asked, getting annoyed. Katara got out, "bite me," she snapped. Soma, turned and ran home, "mom she's back!" she exclaimed. "Where is she?" their mother asked. "She's right..." Soma stopped in mid-sentence after turning around. "OH MY GOD! Can I start please?"
Their mother sighed, "fine…" she said. "YES!" Soma said, leaping at the food. She was well into the food when Katara walked through the door 3 minutes later and joined her. They were enjoying the Mushrooms Neptune, Calamari and Pasta… sometimes they even wondered if their mother even made it all.
"Well I'm hitting the sac… thanks for dinner mom," Soma said, stretching. "Aren't you going to help clean up?" Katara asked. "Nope… you arrived late you can clean up… 'Night," Soma said with her innocent smile on her face. "Oh well… I get immunity for tomorrow," Katara said. "Dammit!" Soma exclaimed.
