Sara looked up in shock and towards where the sound came from, eyes widening further. "Wh...holy..." She gasped and pointed to small group of people that were merely 10 feet or so away. They seemed to hear the two girl and turned to see who was there.
Tyana looked over at what her friend seemed to be talking about. "No way." she said quickly. The small group of people consisted of two girls, one with short black hair and green and tan clothes. She also wasnt wearing shoes? The other girl was significantly taller and had long wavy brown hair, tied into a braid going down to her waist. And finally behind them was a boy, stumbling around in the back of them with a strange animal on his head, trying to grab what looked like part of a plant he was holding.
The taller of the two girls opened what looked like a sac at her side and moved her hands, the water coming out as if magically. "Oh shit." Sara muttered and looked at Tyana who was furiously rubbing her eyes. Sara stumbled back and fell when she tripped over her own bookbag. Her blonde hair fell in front of her face and she was momentarily distracted, not used to seeing it. Aperantly neither were Katara and Toph (though sara and tyana both knew toph couldnt technically see...)
"Who are you?" Katara demanded and Toph groaned in irritation, mumbling a quick "I can't see anything clearly!" under her breath. Sara laughed a little causing toph to whip her head around at her. "You think thats funny?" she said and her voice was tinged with annoyance. Faster than Sara thought possible, a hole the size of a grave apeared beside her, merely inches off. "Uhm..." she muttered akwardly, suddenly glad they were in the desert and not in the forest where the small earth bender would be able to "see" better.
"I'm Sara...and this is my friend Tyana..." She muttered, looking at her friend who still seemed to be in shock. The two girls knew fairly well what was going on, having seen and discussed the episode many times. Aang, who was currently looking for appa, left Katara, Toph and Sokka to fend for themselves. Suddenly elation spread through Sara! They were in avatar! She looked over at Tyana who seemed to realize the same thing only she didn't have the same reaction.
"This can't be real. " She heard her friend whisper to herself. Sara grinned and leaned over, pinching her friend in the arm. "Ouch!" she cried in irritation and Sara laughed. "Feels pretty real to me." She said with a grin. "And if it's not we'll wake up eventually, might as well enjoy it now." She reasoned and her friend frowned but the words seemed to calm her a bit.
Sara turned her head back to look at Katara. "And you are?" she asked, seeing pretending to not know anything would be better than saying they were from a different universe. Katara still looked at them suspiciously. Sara frowned, knowing it would get worse too. They hadnt even had the incident in Ba Sing Se yet where Zuko chose to go with Azula.
Zuko! This meant he was real too! Sara looked over at Tyana with a grin, She knew her friend was rather fond of him. Sara had been to but then she had fallen out of her fangirl crush when she realized how many people loved him. "Pretty girls!" She heard Sokka cry as he flung himself onto herself and Tyana's laps. Sara laughed.
"Sokka!" Katara exclaimed and looked like she was going to kill her brother...slowly. "Hi." Sara said and smiled softly, blushing. She wasn't used to being called pretty, certainly in her old body not many people thought she was. "Youre name is Sokka? That's cool. I'm 's Tyana-" she pointed at her friend and Tyana blushed, trapped under the older boy's body. They were both still 15, and knew for a fact that Sokka was about 16. "What are theyre names?" She asked pointing to the other two girls.
"Oh thats Katara!" Sokka said, his voice waveringing. "Shes my sister, lovely sister, little sister." He practically sang and Sara knew it was the cactus juice talking. "Then there's toph, little toph. Shes mean sometimes...and mad right now! Silly Toph" Sara laughed out loud at this and Tyana let out a little giggle, loosening up a bit. "And I'm-Ow!" He cried. being pelted in the head with a shoe. Katara's shoe to be exact.
"And that's Sokka my crazy annoying older brother!" she hissed and Sokka muttered something incomprehensible in Sara's lap. "Hmm..." He sighed and Sara blushed. She looked up at Katara once more who also seemed to be blushing at the actions of her brother. "We're waiting for our friend." She said the crinkled her nose at Sara and Tyana. "What are you wearing?" she asked and both of them looked down, their clothes seemed to change to accomodate their new bodies, Sara being much thinner and Tyana filling out more.
"Clothes?" Sara offered with a small smile, causing Katara to frown at them. The two girls were dressed in jeans and Sara was wearing what seemed to be a T-Shirt with a picture of a boomerang on it with the lines You do always come back! And Tyana was wearing a similar shirt only it had the four nations's symbols on them. Sara almost laughed! What a coincidence they were both wearing Avatar: The last airbender merchandise. . "Ugh yea..." Tyana muttered akwardly, Sara sighed, it was begining to get dark. "I suppose we're going to wait here with you for you're friend. We don't really know our way around...or how we even got here for that matter!" She cried and Tyana nodded. Toph sighed and plopped down. Sokka had fallen asleep in the girls laps, a content smile on his face.
"I guess you can travel with us..." She said and the girls nodded in thanks, gently pushing the watertrible boy off of them. Sara looked over at Tyana and leaned towards her. "Relax Nana. It'll be ok." She said quietly, giving her friend a quick hug and walking towards Toph. "Stop right there big feet!" the younger girl growled and Sara blushed, her feet weren't that big were they? She shook away the thoughts and continued to walk forward.
"Hey, can I sit with you?'' she asked politely and Toph rolled her blind eyes at her. "I guess," she replied sourly. "Its a free desert aint it?" And Sara grinned, plopping down next to the young earth bender. "It must suck to now be able to see clearly." She mused, staring at the sky. The earth bender let out a loud sigh. "And what would you know about it?" she said in clear irritation.
"I know enough." Sara said curtly. Herself having been half blind in her other body. But she didn't need to say that. They sat in comfortable silence, neither needing to talk.
Tyana sat akwardly next to Katara and her sleeping brother. "So..."Katara mused and Tyana looked over at her. "So?" she asked in confustion. "Where are you from?" Katara tried, and tyana sighed in longing, leaning her now longer body back, not concerned with getting sand in her hair. "Not around here. Thats for sure." She said and looked at the sky. She began to close her eyes, tired from the shock. She was awoken by a wooshing sound and looked up, seeing Aang land, his face distraught and forlorn. "I couldnt find him..." He said, voice ragged. Sara looked up at him and reached out, but let her hand fall away. She had to remind herself he didn't know her. Katara explained about Sara and Tyana. Aang nodded numbly and said fine to them traveling together. Sara sighed, not sure how to handle hanging out with a depressed Avatar and his friends, but supposed it was better than math homework.
