A/N: Ok, the last couple of chapters have been kind of serious and such, so now I'm writing some awesomely awesome comedic stuff. Yayness! (Btw the Sokka and Aang talking at the end was requested to be in there by the other Avatard so don't blame me if you think it shouldn't be in there)
When Sokka got up in the morning and walked into the courtyard, he noticed something different. Katara wasn't there cooking breakfast as she normally was. Oh right, Katara's sick. He thought, I think we put her in Aang's room last night, but he probably moved her into her own room. I should probably go bring her something to eat and get her up.
Sokka walked down the hall and quietly knocked on her door. There was no answer so he knocked a little louder, whispering "Katara!" Katara wasn't responding so Sokka slowly slid open the door, trying to be as quiet as possible as not to wake her. But as Sokka glanced at the bed, he realized it was empty, and hadn't been slept in. "But where would she-?" Sokka stopped dead. "Aang," he growled.
Sokka took off down the hall at top speed yelling as loud as he possibly could, "AANG! AANG!" He got to Aang's room and threw open the door, "AANG!" Sokka screamed. "Whashappenin?" Aang slurred sleepily as he leapt out of bed assuming a bending stance while still half asleep.
Katara wasn't there. Maybe she had made up with Toph and they had decided to have a girly all night talking session. Sokka decided he would check to be sure. "Wait… Sokka, what's happening?" asked Aang now fully regaining consciousness, and looking around the room as if he was missing something.
"Nothing, nothing. I was just looking for Katara." Sokka said quietly, already starting down the hall to Toph's room while Aang trailed behind. They didn't bother to knock when they got to Toph's room, just barged right in. "You know you could knock!" She said angrily as Sokka and Aang marched in.
"Toph, have you seen Katara?" Sokka asked quietly, getting worried now.
"Nope, I would have said to try Twinkle Toe's room, but I can see that's the first place you went."
"Toph, this is serious. We don't know where she is!" Sokka persisted.
"Sorry, haven't seen her. I'm going back to bed." She said bitterly as Sokka and Aang walked out.
They walked out by the stream, where Aang said to Sokka, "I don't think Toph is telling us everything. She could have felt the vibrations of Katara and told us where she is." Sokka nodded in agreement as Aang continued talking, "She can't be far away, I mean, she's still sick isn't she? And she was ok just last night..."
"Woah… back up there Aang," Sokka said, "Katara was still unconscious when we all went to bed. How do you know she was ok?" At this comment, Aang blushed bright red, the blood rushing to his cheeks. He shuffled his feet, and couldn't make eye contact with Sokka. "I… uh… She… um… we…" Aang stuttered- he was a horrible liar.
"Aang, what did you do with my sister last night?" Sokka screamed, his voice growing louder with each word.
"We…uh," Aang continued to stutter, still not making eye contact.
"Aang just tell me what you did with her," Sokka said more quietly, his voice wavering between cold fury, and sadness, "It could give us a clue to where she is. Tell me everything she said, everything that happened. I want to find my sister."
Aang swallowed hard, "Ok, but you have to promise me a few things first. One; that you won't go prying in our business after this. Two; that you won't completely overreact and save any emotions or interruptions until I'm done. Three; I'm telling you this for the sole purpose of finding her and Four; you have to know, that I love Katara, and that I wouldn't do anything if it wasn't ok with her."
Sokka groaned, he was beginning to get the feeling that they hadn't just sat around and talked all night. "Fine," he said solemnly, "Lets just get this over with."
"Ok," said Aang as he took a deep breath, "So, what happened was you said 'Aang you can go sleep in Katara's room' and I refused right? And then you wouldn't let me sleep on the bed next to her, so I took the floor. So, I fell asleep, and the next thing I know, Katara is shaking me awake. I hugged her and she hugged me back really tight," Aang said, his face contorting in an attempt to remember, "Then I told her that I was really scared that she wouldn't wake up again and…" A look of delight passed over Aang's face and Sokka cleared his throat. "Sorry," Aang said continuing on, "So, she kissed me, and-"
"Did you kiss her back?"
"Well, yeah…uh… I…."
"You know what, forget I asked, continue."
"Uh, ok so we kissed, and then she started crying, and so I… uh asked her what was wrong, and… and she told me she loved me, and to make sure that I never forget that-"
"Do you love her too?"
"Yeah! Of course I do! But so… we kissed again and I told her I loved her and then we kind of slept-"
"Woah, woah, woah! In what way do you mean slept?" Sokka asked.
"Like she was on one side of the bed and I was on the other and I was holding her, and we fell asleep."
Sokka let out a breath that he had been holding, "Oh thank god." Aang smiled sheepishly at this.
"So that was a great story and everything, and now I know that I can completely trust you two and all, but it doesn't give us any idea of where Katara is," Sokka remarked.
"I think we should go ask Toph, she knows more than she's telling us," Aang suggested.
"Yeah, Toph," Sokka agreed, and they hiked back up to the courtyard.
