Disclaimer: Just guess…

A/N: Hey! Sorry, set backs from school and after school activities and the internet was down for like 3 weeks… And my lovely sister just had to get in so much trouble that she blocked both of our computer access! Anyway, hope you like this next chapter!

We finally reached the door.

But of course, we have a slight problem…

"YOU FORGOT YOUR HOUSE KEY?!" I yell accusingly and really loudly in The Big Idiot's ear.

"AND NOBODY'S HOME?!" Zuko adds incredulously.

Setting me down, Sokka slowly backs up and continues to check his pockets.

After a couple seconds, he pulls his pockets inside-out and holds his hands up in defense.

"Uh…yea…no key…and nobody's home…hehe...he…" He finally bumps into the wall and gets ready to run away, but Zuko's fast reflexes allow him to get a hold of Sokka's collar.

Slowly standing up, I glare at him and go over the problem in my head.

"YOU ARE SO-UGH! How do you propose we get in?!" I point at the house and look at him angrily, yet expectantly.

"Well…we could climb up the tree and crawl across that branch into my room!" He replies taking a superhero stance.

"Uh, yea. Genius?" I ask sweetly.

"Yes?" Sokka asks back still holding his position proudly.

"I CAN'T CLIMB! MY LEG!" I yell in response for about the 3rd time.

He drops his stance and rubs his ears. "Geez. Loud much? But that does prove a problem…huh…" This time he puts a serious look on his face and his hand to his chin.

Haha, this may take a while.

I sit down, along with Zuko and he pulls out a portable chess game.

Cause we're cool like that.

"Check mate!" I pump my fists into the air while Sparky sulks.

After about 4 games later, it ended up being a tie (2-2), low and behold- Snoozles got an idea.

"THE WINDOW!" He takes off around the house and so does Zuko.

"Wow…not a bright pair, are they? Oh well, they'll be back."

I lean back, propping myself up with my hands.

I casually start to whistle.

And, like I predicted, Sokka came rushing over to me 5 minutes later and hoisted on his back.

"Sorry!" He mumbled walking to the back of the house.

"Eh, it's fine. I made a new friend. His name is Jonny Po. He's a caterpillar." I joke dumbly, taking a look at his backyard.

"Oh…that's great… Alright, get ready! I'm gonna hold you up, you're going to put your feet up and through the window, and Zuko's going to help me slide you through into my house!" He informs, helping me with my feet.

"Okay…you better not let go of me!" I prepare myself to be dropped, but in a minute or so, I'm through the window and standing up on the white carpet in-what I'm guessing is-the living room.

"Now that wasn't so bad, was it?!" Came Sokka's voice, and I see him flop down onto the ground by Zuko's feet.

I just mumble incoherently and try to walk to the couch.

Ouch, ouch, ouch. Stupid foot! I hate-

Great.

More help from Snoozles.

I mean, it's not that bad, but it's not like I'm crippled!

Finally on the beige, fluffy couch, I prop my feet up on the table, followed by Zuko. I hear Sokka go into the kitchen and open the refrigerator.

Getting ice.

At least he didn't forget about Zuko's eye…

Aw, poor Sparky.

He always had perfect skin and never got hurt.

I mean, the bruise will most likely go away, but his record doesn't stand anymore!

And it probably hurts like hell!

"How is it?" I turn to Zuko and give him a worried look.

"Ah, it's okay. Not as painful as it was… Don't worry- I'm fine!" He offers me a smile. "But I guess that means you hold the record of No Facial Damage now, huh?" I join in with his laughing and we give each other a knuckle-punch before we return our focus to the TV in front of us.

Oh great.

More soap operas!

What's wrong with this world?!

I'd trade this for a whole day at the mall with my parents any day!

At least then, I could ditch Mr. and Mrs. Preppy-And-Perfect, and go get a soft pretzel in the food court or nice cup of coffee at Starbucks!

Walking in from the kitchen, Sokka hands the bag of ice to Zuko.

"So…what'll it be? Spiderman? Edward Scissorhands? Uh…Inuyasha and One Piece episodes?" Sokka offers skimming over the choices on the shelf.

Zuko and I glance at each other and silently agree.

"Edward Scissorhands!" We reply at the same time.

Sokka gives us a weird look before searching for the chosen movie.

"What? After Momma Mia, we need a dark, bloody Jonny Depp movie!" I comment, rearranging the pillows to get more comfortable.

"Ah, I know! It was horrible! I can't believe I agreed to that! I think I'm permanently scarred." He replies, plopping down in between me and Zuko.

"Ugh, same here! Why did you agree to Momma Mia anyway…?" I ask skeptically.

Nervousness.

Bingo.

"I thought she-I mean-it would be worth it!" He replied glancing around the room looking for a distraction.

"And…was she?" I inquire facing him.

"Well…I'm not sure…I mean she's nice and all, but…" He breaks off thoughtfully, albeit nervously.

Haha. Gotcha!

I got him to spill about not liking Suki…

Now I just need a confession on how he feels about me…

"But…what?" I prod hopefully.

"But I just…might…possibly…like someone else-" Before I can comment, Edward Scissorhands starts up.

Well…this is awkward.

Have you ever watched a movie that reminded you of something going on in your life?!

Yea, well, in this one some weird guy randomly shows up, meets this ordinary girl, said girl is happily going out with another guy, but ends up falling for the weirdo that also likes her, but they have no clue.

This applies to me because, Sokka comes out of nowhere, I was an ordinary girl, and although I'm single…I'm falling for him, but he doesn't know and I don't know if he thinks of me that way…and yup.

Confusing.

Come on, you already know that he only thinks of you as a friend! Remember The Interrogation?!

Well…he could've been lying!

Right…

It's true!

I never said it wasn't. I'm just sayin' that you should be careful!

Why?

I'm not sure if I trust this guy with your feelings…

Then we're a split mind!

What?

You think what you want and I'll think what I want!

Okay…

Ugh, just pay attention to the movie!

Okay…is it just me or is Sokka's hand twitching.

It usually wouldn't bother me, but it's right beside mine.

Is he deciding whether to hold my hand or not?

Or is he just sped?

Wow…

I'm really paranoid…

And to think that it's just going to get worse…

Fun stuff ahead.

Ugh, I need a Twinkie!

A/N: And finished! Finally! Haha yea. Ahem. Um, not much to say other than don't kill me! I'm sorry I haven't updated in about, what, 2 months? This was definitely not my intention and hopefully this won't be the case with future chapters. I'm hoping for reviews that point out grammar and spelling errors. And suggestions. And critism. And whatever else you can put in reviews… Also, I figured out how to put a poll on my profile (it's really random but oh well...), so check that out if you want.

Till next time,

-The Runaway
