"Soma… Soma wake up… Soma!" Katara said, trying to get Soma up. Katara sighed, annoyed. She began to drag Soma, still in her covers outside. "Katara what are you doing?" their mother asked. "Waking Soma up," Katara replied. "But is that really necessa…" "Yes mom," Katara interrupted. "But…" "Mom… trust me… it's necessary," she said, continuing to drag Soma outside.

'Now… where to put her…' Katara pondered, looking around her. Something caught her eye and she smiled, wickedly, 'hmmm…' She looked at the tree ahead of her, 'perfect,' she thought, dragging the still sleeping Soma over to it. She jumped up to one of the branches and began to hang her there.

Neji looked up at Katara, giving her an odd look. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Waking her up," Katara said, smiling deviously. "Uh… okay…" Neji muttered, walking away. 'What strange girl's,' he thought, shaking his head slightly.

Soma yawned and slowly opened her eyes. Looking up at her were some boys, fresh-men at the ninja academy. Soma went beet red, 'please let this be a dream,' she thought, hearing their laughter. She pinched herself, 'not a dream…' "KATARA!" Soma screamed, sending birds, who were in the tree, into the sky in fright.

It didn't take long for Soma to find Katara, when she finally got down from the tree. "Katara you…" she began. "Oh… well look at the time… I have to go train… see ya Soma," Katara said, running away. "KATARA!" Soma screamed again.

Soma sighed, her anger leaving her. 'I hate how she keeps doing stuff like this to me! But oh well… I have to train… wait a minute… what am I saying? Oh well, I'll get her back then,' she thought, getting changed and then following Katara. She tried to ignore the giggles and points of some of the villagers. 'It's not that big of a deal,' she told herself.

"Took you long enough, fool," Katara said as Soma joined her. "That wasn't nice what you did to me Katara," Soma said. "You'll live… at least no one important saw you," Katara said, "now let's train." Soma sighed, "fine."

Troah came charging towards Soma and Katara, tripping on a root and landing face down in front of them. "Wow… and I thought you were clumsy…" Katara said, laughing. "KATARA!" Soma said, slightly shocked. "Sorry I'm late! I got held up!" Troah apologized, picking himself up. "By what?" Katara asked. "Uh… well… you know… stuff…" Troah said, looking around. "Liar," Katara muttered.

"What stuff?" Soma asked. "Just stuff," Troah repeated. "Troah! Tell me!" Soma whined. "Soma… we have to train," Katara said. "But I wanna know why he's late," Soma said. "You can ask him later," Katara said, "now let's train." Soma sighed, "do we have to?" she asked. "Yes!" Katara said, beginning to get annoyed.

"Katara?" Neji's voice came, in a questioning tone. "Oh… hi Neji," Katara said, turning away from Soma and Troah. Soma smiled, 'now is my chance to escape… but I wonder…. hmm.' Soma began to sneak off, "Soma… where are you going?" Troah asked. "Shhh!" Soma snapped back. She went over to a tree and jumped into it, watching Neji and Katara. 'Hehehe,' she thought.

Troah rolled his eyes, sighing, obviously bored. 'If we're not going to train, I'm leaving,' he thought, turning away from the scene and beginning to walk away. Soma smiled wickedly, leaning forward across the branch to hear better. 'This is soo exciting! Katara and Neji!' she thought, trying to stay balanced in the tree.

"What are you doing here Neji?" Katara asked, a little confused. "I… uh… was just passing by on my way… and I saw you and I thought you might want to talk," Neji responded. "So… what are you up to?" he asked. "Well… I was going to train with my sister and Troah… but they have both seemed to disappear… so I guess nothing…" Katara said. "Stupid sister always running away whenever we're suppose to be training…" she muttered.

'Hey!' Soma thought, still up in the tree.

"So I'm assuming this is the first time she's done it?" Neji asked. "No it's not the first time, it surprises me how she manages to fight the way she does though...she's definitely a weird one," Katara said. "Well… the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Neji commented, "last time I saw you, you were tying her to a tree." Katara blushed.

'Is Katara… she is! She's blushing in front of a boy! Oh my God! She's never done that before! This is amazing!' Soma thought, nearly falling out of the tree. 'This is juicy… I am soo glad I stayed… even if I'm in a tree.'

"We're really not that similar," Katara said, "we probably just act similar because we see each other 24/7." "Yeah sure," Neji said, with a slight laugh in his voice. "What?" Katara asked, noticing the laugh. "Nothing…" Neji said. "No, what?" she asked, again. "Nothing," Neji repeated, still laughing. "You're mocking me… aren't you?" Katara asked, beginning to laugh. "Yeah I am," he said.

"Touché," Katara remarked. "Look… I'm going to this new restaurant in town for lunch… you wanna come?" he asked. "Uh… sure," Katara said.

'Did he just… he did! He asked Katara out on a lunch date! AWWW!' Soma thought, nearly falling out of the tree again. She waited until they were almost out of sight before getting out of the tree. 'I don't want to miss this,' Soma thought, following them to the restaurant, 'this is so great! Finally! But it's kinda sad… her on a date… and I'm not… oh well! She was the one that said, "training before boyfriends".I always thought she'd be an old lady with like a hundred cats.'
