Two chapters in one day? Feel free to applause.

Okay so last chapter. How do I describe my feelings for last chapter? Hmmm. Katara you screwed up. And all of them will continue to screw up, I promise you.

I find the most important force in either beginning or ending a relationship is other outside forces. Mostly other people putting ideas in other people's heads. So be careful what you say to certain people when it comes to love. We all have that one friend that ships you with someone else.

Sigh. Never let anyone borrow from you a Sim game of some sort that has you and your friends to play with in a virtual world. Shit goes down.

Oh, and if you like interesting Harry Potter fanfiction with crazy powerful witches, creepy stuff, sad stuff, or alternative time lines, or if you just have time to kill go check out OmenProphecy a friend of mine. DIE TIME. DIE.

Did you guys see last nights Legend of Korra? The Earth Queen is now my least favorite villain of all time currently. No spoilers, but she is one nasty lady.

Please keep reviewing and reading. This chapter is for spatterson who should get her own account and start writing more. Hope you like it.

...

I wish I learned to swim. Being blind that wasn't much of an option for me, but being blind made many things not an option.

I had just fallen down a freaking waterfall when Ponytail grabbed me and pulled me to the surface. Normally I would beat the snot out of him for saving me, but now was unfortunately not the time.

My head was spinning and everything sounded wrong. The splashes of water were muffled, and I thought I could hear Sokka say something. It wasn't until I felt the sweet earth beneath my body that I got a good view what was going on.

Sokka was lying face down to the side of me at the moment. I could tell from his rapid heartbeat that he was frazzled but mostly unscathed. He sat up and started to crawl along the edge he managed to pull us to. I however was not so inclined to move.

"Five more minutes," I managed to sputter as I rolled over to get more comfortable. I was out of breath as much as Meathead.

Sokka just let out some sort of noise as a reply. I rolled over a bit again. This ground was so hard! I tried to bend the earth a bit to make myself a bit more comfy when I remembered what had just gone down.

"Great." I grumbled. I noticed the water wasn't very loud anymore. We must have went far enough downstream that the water was mostly calm.

"What's great?" sniffled Snoozles. He came over as I decided to sit up.

"No earth bending. I was being sarcastic."

"Ahh, my favorite flavor for words. So why would your earth bending not be working." Sokka inquired. He sounded really tired. I can't be that heavy.

"No clue. Maybe the badgermoles. I can still see, but other than that nothing. It's like there is a huge force just keeping all the rock in place," I said with a shrug.

"Just perfect," griped Meathead. His heartbeat suddenly sped up. He was suddenly getting very stressed.

"Oh no, Toph, what happened to the others. What happened to Suki?"

….

"What did you just say?"

Okay. This was defiantly more embarrassing than mistaking her friend to be Zuko. But Suki was staying surprisingly calm at least.

"I-I thought you knew," sputtered Katara, her face was completely red.

"Well I knew she did like him once…" Suki trailed off. Katara wondered what was going on in her friend's head. Or at least what expression Suki had on. It was pitch black in this cave.

"Just… I'm sorry I said anything… it was just so obvious. You had to be blind not to notice anything. The constant bickering, the blushing, the kiss," Katara continued to gab.

"You mean when I saved Toph from drowning right? She thought I was Sokka, and she kissed me. She already apologized for that. Toph was completely embarrassed. I get that she might have had a crush on him once, but I'm pretty sure it's over," Suki informed the water bender.

The thought that Toph liked Sokka was completely irrational. Katara was just full of nonsense.

"No. I'm talking about the one at Toph's Metal Bending Academy. It was behind the school and everything." Katara said this all so fast that the words didn't have time to buffer through Katara's brain. Katara clasped her hand over her mouth as soon as the last word spilled out.

"Really… just recently…"

"Yeah, but it was an accident and all. The two of them had gotten pretty wild and I'm sure it didn't mean anything. You had been gone so long….." Katara said tried to bandage up the wound she had just caused. She tried to continue but had nothing else to say.

….

"It's so dark in here, I can't see a thing," mumbled Sokka.

"Well that must be awful huh?" I said, exaggerating each word.

"Oh right. Sorry."

As much as Ponytail annoyed me I could never stay mad at him. I guess that would always was going to be a weakness of mine.

"I can feel a path going down in that direction. Let's start walking and see if we can find the others." I instructed as I got up from the ground.

"Isn't down bad. Aren't we supposed to be going up? You know to the surface?" asked Meathead.

"Then what do you think we should do, oh wise one?"

"…Fine, just give me a moment to light one of my torches, and-"

"No. Don't waste your time. Their soaked like the rest of us. I can lead us." I commanded.

"Speaking of being soaked," mumbled Sokka. I could see him shifting around and dropping some clothing to the floor.

"Getting nude for me Boomerang Boy?" I taunted.

"Hahaha. Very funny, I'm just removing some outer clothing here. It's freezing in here and the heavy wet clothing doesn't help," snapped Sokka.

I suddenly realized how heavy and wet my garb was. I shrugged and began to pull my outer layers off too. I grabbed all of the dripping cloth with just a swoop of my hand and tossed them at Snoozles. With a satisfying yelp and a splash I could tell he hadn't caught the pile.

"Let's go." I grabbed Sokka's hand and began to practically pull him down the path. His heart beat increased a bit with the whole skin contact thing. Boys and puberty was a stupid mix.

Same thing with girls, but I digress.

We walked in silence for a while. The only sounds were the occasional screech from Meathead when he bumped into some rock.

"I'm such an awful boyfriend," he said at last, letting a sigh escape his lips.

"Please tell me more," I snorted. I really didn't want to get into this topic with anyone. Especially him.

"I haven't been around for Suki enough. Now she could be in pain or worse-… plus I have been unfaithful," choked Sokka. Of course he would bring this back up. I furrowed my brows, and cursed.

"Okay, one- Suki is a badass. She can handle anything. Two- she has had good company in the Fire Palace with the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors. Even the crazy chi block girl. Plus she and Zuko got to become good friends and all, so you shouldn't worry about nobody being around for her."

"Yeah, I guess that's true…" Ponytail sniffled. His heart rate picked up a bit though. Like something else was going on. I shrugged. It was none of my business.

"And thirdly- for the last time Sokka, that was a mistake. Neither of our faults really. If you want to blame someone, blame me. So stop bellyaching about it, and be a man." I answered. How could he not get the hint that I didn't want to talk about that night.

"But it still happened," pointed out Sokka as he dragged his feet behind me.

"Yeah, and I kicked my students ass's for that. Sneaking cactus juice in our tea was apparently a hilarious prank. What's done is done. Just forget it. Only Sugar Queen knows, and she would never tell anyone." I added.

"Still maybe we should have told her that we were hiked up on the juice without our consent." Sokka speculated.

"Nah, not like it would ever come up again."

….

"Hey, guys!" chirped Aang. He came into the cave where the two females dwelt.

"Aang, did you find something down there?" inquired Katara happily. She was sure glad to get a break from the somber silence that was left in the cave. Along with a little bit of light the Avatar had brought with him.

"Yeah, there's this ledge a little while down that turns into a tunnel. I went through the tunnel and found the end of an underground river with a path along the side. The path is running up. And up is our best exit choice. I already flew Zuko over to the other side. I came over to get you two."

"Great!" Katara laughed. She was sure glad she didn't have to climb to her doom anymore today.

"Suki, I'll take you first." Aang said extending his arms in the general direction of the form that was Suki.

"Sure thing Aang," Suki said.

The warrior moved into the light and grabbed a hold of Aang's glider. Suki's makeup was intact but her eyes were very red and puffy. She had been crying, and Katara never noticed. Aang opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

The two left the cave leaving Katara in the dark once again, wondering what she had done.

….

"So who are you most worried about?" Sokka had been asking me a bunch of stupid questions since he brought up the cactus juice incident. He was just trying to make conversation, but to me it was just noise.

"Twinkle Toes, mostly because he is too weak to handle all this. Maybe Sparky because he is an idiot and will probably jump off a cliff. No, wait I worry about Twinkle Toes more because Sparky is an idiot in ways that will only hurt Aang," I answered bluntly.

"Why?" Snoozles asked clearly perplexed.

"If you must know, Hothead fancies Katara and will most likely do something stupid because of it." I said waving my hand around like Sokka was a fly I could brush away.

"What!" Sokka exclaimed as he stopped dead in his tracks. Okay, so this was news to Boomerang Boy.

"Yeah, haven't you seen the way those two act around each other? Plus his heart rate speeds up the way yours does when you see Fangirl,"

"How can you be sure?" goggled Meathead.

"Come on. I'm blind. But I'm not blind." I said putting emphasis in the last word.

"Does Katara like Zuko?" Sokka asked after a few quiet moments of thought. He said this with uncertainly with much caution in his voice.

We were moving again, but not as fast as I hoped. I honestly couldn't understand what his problem was. It wasn't any of our business after all. If they wanted to cause a fuss, let them. Love was always stupid anyway.

"I'm not sure. Her heart rate doesn't perk up the way it does when she and Aang are around each other, but it does perk up." I replied.

"I don't want Aang to get hurt," whispered Sokka. His steps slowed along with his heart beat. I let out a grumble. Why did everyone want to have mushy conversations with me?

"Aang's not going to get hurt. Sugar Queen is just confused, like normal. Katara will stay fateful, and she would never do anything to like that to Aang. She loves him to much. Mopey is just pitying himself about knife girl that's all. I if anyone gets hurt it will be him. Sparky deserves it in my opinion. This stuff will pass." I stated trying to cheer Snoozles up a bit. It worked.

"And look on the bright side-" Sokka piped, "If Aang and Katara do break up, you finally ask Aang on a date!"

"WHAT!" I roared. My ears turned red as I turned around to sock that stupid smile off Meathead's face, but he slipped out of my grasp.

He dropped our clothes started sprinting back up the path, and I chased after him filled with rage. What I would give for my bending back so I could beat him to death with a boulder. Sokka suddenly tripped over an abandoned rock and fell straight into the water. I laughed so hard when I felt Ponytail pull himself back onto the rock cursing like a pirate.

Thank you Secret Tunnel.
