Happy Reading!
Have you ever just wanted to start dancing? Just randomly, out of nowhere start dancing? Well, yep you guessed it, I do!
I was in my room after a little tai chi and watching Zuko training on deck, and for some reason my heart was beating so fast, like an adrenaline rush. Ok, ok I know why my heart was beating fast, I'm a red-blooded woman, and come on he has a bender's body. So, why not make use of all this extra energy? I was alone in my room.
I tucked my phone under the strap of my training top and put in my words, Zumba radio! If that cannot make you get up and dance then you're probably dead, and you might wanna get that looked at.
Then there's that moment when a song you love comes on and you can't hold it in you just sing your little heart out. Man, I love music so fracking much. No matter what mood you are in there's a song for that. Get it, like "there's an app for that," but I said song- oh never mind.
Well, one of the main songs that was able to make me sing, dance, and spin around uncontrollably while waving my arms in the air was 'Love Natural' by Crystal Fighters.
"When I look at you, oh I feel my heart
Oh, I feel your love deep inside
Oh, love natural, I can't believe how you do it to me
You make me feel, oh how you say, feel so special
Oh, love natural, I can't believe how you do it to me
You make me feel, oh how you say, feel so special"
I really didn't care if I sounded bad or not, I couldn't hear myself. Then again I doubt it was unbearable, it may not be the best singing in the world, but I did get a singing scholarship at college. That has to count for something. Right?
I was so busy jumping around my room and singing that I didn't notice my door was open. I couldn't hear it open or whoever it was that was talking to me. Head-phones remember? Oh well, they were getting a show.
My 'fight or flight' reflexes kicked in when I felt a firm hand on my shoulder. In the normal world where I'm not a mind-boggling Juju bender. My "attacker" would have just gotten an open palm to the sternum, but in the Ava-verse that basic self-defense turned into a deadly weapon.
It was too late, I accidentally sent my "attacker," aka Zuko, flying back through my door into the hallway with a base pulse.
"Oh, my God!" I ran out into the hallway, "I'm so sorry. Fussy pants, can you still breathe." I kneeled down next to him.
His voice was pained and breathless, "Never do that again."
"I really am sorry, fussy pants, you scared me. Don't sneak up on me again."
"I knocked on your door six times!" he yelled, then groaned as he started to stand up.
My phone's volume was on full blast, "Well, obviously I couldn't hear you." I waved my phone at him. I could hear the music still booming through the earbuds that were now in my hand. *Midnight City - M83*
He picked up one of the buds from my palm, "How is if you're not deaf?"
I just smiled nervously and laughed like a dofus.
"I'm throwing these overboard-"
I snatched them away from him, and held up a finger gun, "Don't you dare. I will use this!"
He raised an eyebrow at me, "Well, what I came to tell you is that we have docked. Do you want to go ashore?"
"Ooh goodie, yes please," I nodded.
"Are you going to change?" He looked me up and down. I was still in my training top and low waist black pants and knee high boots. My stomach was bare and my hair was in a messy low braid.
"Oh, Zuko, don't be such a girl," I closed my door and walked past him to the docking ramp.
Uncle Iroh and a hand-full of men were also there waiting, "Oh, there you two are. Felicity, would you be willing to help me look for a lotus tile?"
"Of course," I smiled at him.
"And while we are looking, we can find a few things for you," He took my hand and led me down the ramp.
"But, I really don't need anything," I reminded him.
He just smiled and patted my hands, "True, but that doesn't mean we can't find you a little something to brighten your day."
"Men, I want someone to keep an eye on, Lady Felicity, at all times. She may not be under room arrest but I want her watched closely. I haven't decided if she can still be trusted or not," Zuko ordered.
Uncle Iroh and I searched all the different shops. He loved shopping more than most girls I knew. I went with him from stand to stand, merchant to merchant. I even found a few things for myself. I was able to find some most comfortable clothes, pants and different tops not just dresses, and winter clothes. I knew we would be heading to the North Pole so, I knew the warmer clothes would come in handy. I also found the perfect double for a yoga mate.
Uncle Iroh had the men hard at work carrying all his many purchases, so I was able to breathe a little easier knowing my every move wasn't being monitored.
I never realized just how different I looked from everyone else until now. My dark blonde hair might as well be electric blue; at least people were looking at me like it was. I need to get a cloak or something with a hood for when we were off the ship like this. I walked around all the different stalls. Iroh gave me some money in case I found something I liked, although I still didn't know how this money worked.
"I'll take this please," I grinned at my old man running the stand.
"Three copper pieces, young miss." I took my item and put it in a small cloth bag for me. I handed him a silver piece.
Before he could give me change I told him, "Keep the rest."
"Are you sure, Miss?"
I waved goodbye, "Thank you for this."
"No, thank you."
As I turned the corner, I heard fussy pants yelling at his men, "What do you mean you lost sight of her. I gave you an order to watch her."
"Calm down, fussy pants, I'm right here! Don't be so hard on them. Yes, you told them to watch me, but you didn't tell them how closely they should watch me."
"There isn't a difference." Zuko growled.
"And that is where you are wrong, dear Zuko. There's watching closely like a dingo watches a human baby, then there's the 'I'm watching you'" I did the 'I'm watching you' hand motion. "Both are watching but they have different levels of intensity, like you and me."
"That's ridiculous. I gave them an order and they failed." He crossed his arms and.
Uncle Iroh was walking over to us at that point. "I've checked all the shops on this pier. Not a lotus tile in the entire marketplace."
Zuko wasn't happy, "It's good to know this trip was a complete waste of time for everyone!"
"Quite the contrary. I always say, the only thing better than finding something you are looking for is finding something you weren't looking for at a great bargain!" Iroh was very pleased with his purchases. "Felicity, I bought you a trunk for your room, to put your clothes and other things in."
"Thank you, Uncle Iroh," I smiled as the men walked by.
"You bought a tsungi horn?" Zuko questioned.
"For music night on the ship. Now, if we only had some woodwinds." Iroh pointed out towards a ship, "Oh, this place looks promising!"
Zuko groaned as we walked up the ramp so I looped my arm with his. He could use some promising news, "Stop being a spoilsport, Zuko. I'm looking forward to music night; I might even sing."
He pulled his arm away, "Don't do that anymore, unless I tell you that you can. I still haven't forgiven you."
"Well, you're about to," I put my hands on my hips, "Keep your ears open in there, you are going to hear something you're going to like. Trust me; this trip wasn't a waste of time."
He stood on the ramp thinking about what I said, "Wait a minute. What do you mean by that? Felicity?" He called out, but I was already inside with Iroh.
"Oh, that is handsome! Wouldn't it look magnificent in the galley?" Iroh was admiring the monkey statue.
"Felicity, what did you me-"
"Shhh…. Listen." I whispered and pointed over my shoulder at the pirates.
"We lost the Water Tribe girl and the little bald monk she was traveling with." One of the pirates said to the Captain.
Zuko's eyes widened. "Mmhm, you're welcome," I winked at him.
He turned on his heels, "This monk, did he have an arrow on his head?"
"And what's it to you if he did?" The captain stood up and moved around toward Zuko. He circled around Zuko then stared down at me. "I would be willing to tell you if you have something fair to trade."
Eww, "Don't get any ideas!" The captain looked down at me confused, "Oh, I'm sorry; an idea is when you use your brain. I understand it's probably the first time this has ever happened to you."
Zuko fought back his grin and tried to remain stoic, "I'd be willing to pay you for the information." He stepped between me and the captain. Thank god, that guy smells like week old scurvy and strong alcohol.
"She's one of the prettiest concubine's I've ever seen. Look at her exotic hair." THAT'S IT! I'm getting a hooded cloak. This guy is an even bigger creeper than Zhao, "I bet she keeps you very happy."
I just laughed as Fussy pants turned fifty shades of red; See what I did there, huh? "You have no idea." I slid my hand over Zuko's shoulder and flicked his ear. He jerked away as if bitten.
"She's not a concubine, she's a Lady!" Iroh stepped forward defending my honor.
"Thank you, Uncle Iroh!" I gave Iroh a very father/daughter hug.
"Oh, I just assumed-"
"Well, you know what they say when you assume." I still couldn't help but laugh, Zuko was still red.
"You should have known she was a lady, just look at her," Zuko pointed back at me. "But back to the point. I'll pay you for the information."
"Better yet, we will help you get back what they stole," I stepped up.
"How did you-"
"Ahh…. Well?"
"She heard you talking about it, she's very nosy," Zuko smirked behind me.
"HEY!" I punched his shoulder.
The captain rubbed his chin, "All right you have a deal!"
Iroh picked up the monkey statue, "And we'll take this. By the way, what did they steal?"
"A waterbending scroll," the other pirate answered.
As we left I looked over at Zuko, "Well, Fussy pants?"
"What is it?" He didn't look at me.
"Do I make you happy?" I teased, sliding my arms around his neck. He turned red again. Iroh and I both laughed. "I do have a serious question for you though. What did you mean you can tell I'm a lady by looking at me?"
Zuko must have just realized what he said because his eyes suddenly widened. He dipped away and cleared his throat, "Nothing, just that you were with Uncle and myself."
"Mmhm, I'm not buying it." I skipped ahead then turned to face him, but still walking back words. "So, would you like my word of future-knowing wisdom? Of course you do. Those pirates are going to try and steal your river boat thingy at some point. So take my advice, have some of your men follow us in the second boat so we don't have to walk back to the ship. Ok?" Before he could ask any questions, I ran to the ship and to my room. All the things Iroh had bought for me were in my room. "Iroh, you spoil me rotten."
It was most likely going to get cooler tonight. I dug through the truck and found a dark red, leather coat. It was longer, almost like a trench coat, and light enough that it could be layered.
"….but sir, are you sure you want to launch both the boats?"
"Yes, follow behind us at a reasonable distance in case the pirates get any funny ideas," Zuko told the lieutenant the plan.
"So, you do listen to me sometimes?"
"Hurry and get on the boat," He ignored me and pointed at the boat.
We met up with the pirates and made our way down the river. Both Zuko and the captain were out on the deck of the boat, Iroh and I were inside the boat's cabin, drinking tea and the rest of the pirates were on the pirate ship.
After I finished my tea, I closed my eyes and let my mind flow out. Zuko? Can you hear me?
Yes, what is it?
Oh, heck yes! Finally it's starting to come back to me! Victory dance!
What do you want, Felicity? He looked back out at the river.
Oh right, don't worry about the woods-
I know. He stopped me.
Right, right, well, you're going the right way.
Thank you, He was being so hard and cold lately.
"Shouldn't we stop to search the woods?" The captain asked.
"We don't need to stop. They stole a waterbending scroll, right?" Zuko looked at him.
"Mmhm?" The captain nodded.
"Then they'll be on the water."
I walked out onto the deck, "We need to be quiet. They are close. We will be able to hear them, but they can also hear us."
"How do you know that?" The captain turned to me.
"She is a master strategist. She knows how people think, and how to get into their heads," Not bad, fussy pants, I couldn't have done it better myself.
"Really now, can you tell me what's in my head then, little lady?"
"Nothing! A great, big, heaping pile of nothing, but I honestly didn't need to get in your head to know that." I didn't even look at him. I just imitated Zuko's stoic seriousness.
"She's a fiery one, isn't she?" the captain laughed.
Zuko just smirked, "You have no idea."
Just then we heard a voice and splashes coming from up ahead, It was Katara. "Ugh, ugh, ugh! Shoot! Come on water, work with me here! Okay, what if I just, ow! Stupid scroll! Okay Katara, shift your weight through the stances."
We docked the ship and the man started looking for her. She peeked through the bushes to see what the noise was, and gasped upon seeing the pirates. Zuko snuck up behind her. I wasn't going to get hit by water so I stayed back a bit. She turned to run, but was grabbed by a pirate.
"No! Let go of me!" Just as I thought, she bent water up into the pirate's face, and he released her. Katara started to run again but Zuko grabbed her by her wrists so she couldn't bend.
"I'll save you from the pirates." He glared at her while she stared frightened up at him.
"Really, fussy pants, that's the best you got?" I stepped up behind him, "That was almost as creepy as Zhao. Hey, Katara!"
"Stop being so nice to her! She is our enemy," Zuko pulled Katara over to a tree. "You're always so sweet to everyone I'm enemies with."
"Not true, I'm not nice to Zhao, besides it's not my fault you have a lot of enemies. It is time for you to look inward, my young padawan." I hold my hands up and touch my thumb and pointer fingers together, as in meditating. "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to the Dark side. I sense much anger in you."
"What does that even mean?" He asked as he tied her hands behind the tree.
"A padawan? It's a student of a Jedi master."
He looked at me confused, "A what kind of master?"
"A Jedi, it is the greatest of warriors-" Oh my God! I have a new name for myself. I'm a Jedi! I have Jedi powers! Well kinda. OH, dreams really do come true. "Anyway, she's not my enemy. I like Katara, and you better be careful, Fussy pants. She's going to become a master waterbender and fast."
"I am?" She looked over at me.
"Yep, in fact-"
"Stop talking to her," He interrupted as the pirates, Uncle Iroh, and his own soldiers joined us.
"Sorry, Katara, next time I'll give you some more details." I winked at her.
"There won't be a next time!" He glared at me, and then turned to Katara, "Tell me where he is and I won't hurt you or your brother."
"Go jump in the river!" She hissed at him.
"That's what you get for interrupting girl talk, Fussy pants." I put my hand on my hip and nodded at Katara, Don't worry you're going to get out of here.
Who are you? Why are you being so nice to me? You're with Zuko.
I just smiled at her and nodded, then looked at Zuko.
"Try to understand. I need to capture him to restore something I've lost, my honor."
You know, Fussy pants, and it's pretty sexy when you talk all low and soft like that. You can tie me to the tree next.
He looked up at me, shocked and red faced, but he looked back down at Katara completely serious again, "Perhaps in exchange I can restore something you've lost." He held her necklace up around her neck.
Oh yeah, I'll have to get a necklace now. How is it you can go with Mr. Grr Face to the man of my dreams in two seconds flat?
Stop saying things like that in my head, Felicity!
*In a soft, sultry voice,* Why, Zuko? Am I distracting you?
"My mother's necklace! How did you get that?" Katara's angry voice pulled him back into reality.
"I didn't steal it, if that's what you're wondering. Tell me where he is." Zuko ordered her.
"No!" she answered.
"Looks like I'm not the only one that doesn't take orders well," I laughed.
The pirate captain was getting inpatient, "Enough of this necklace garbage! You promised a scroll!"
"I wonder how much this is worth..." The pirates gasped as he took out the scroll and held it over a fire in his hand. "A lot, apparently. Now you help me find what I want, you'll get this back, and everyone goes home happy. Search the woods for the boy and meet back here!"
"Fine." The pirates fan out.
"Very sneaky," I prop my arm on his shoulder. "I'm so proud. Look at how much you have learned in such a short time. Good job, Fussy pants, keeping them on their toes."
"Will you please stop calling me that in front of other people," He rolled his eyes at me.
"I'll think about it," I took my phone and put an earbud in one of my ears.
Zuko looked surprised, "What are you doing?"
"My powers are stronger when I'm listening to my music," I shrugged.
"But why would you need to use them?"
I gave him my 'really' look, "Why do you think?"
He turned to his man, "Be on guard. We may have a fight on our hands soon."
"Look at you, reading my behavior, like a boss." I smiled at him. I nodded in the direction of the trees, "Here they come."
He looked up and saw the pirates with Aang in hand, "Nice work."
"Hey, Felicity!" Aang smiled at me.
"Hello," I waved. "Good to see you. Hello Sokka."
"Don't talk to me, you're the enemy." Sokka looked away from me.
"Not a word, Fussy pants," I said to Zuko, who was grinning.
"Aang, this is all my fault." Katara looked at Aang and Sokka.
"No Katara, it isn't." Aang told her sweetly.
Iroh looked at Katara, "Yeah, it kind of is."
"Give me the boy." Zuko orders the pirates.
The captain ordered back, "You give us the scroll."
Sokka suddenly hatched a brilliant plan, "You're really gonna hand over the Avatar for a stupid piece of parchment?"
It made Zuko jump in his skin, "Don't listen to him, he's trying to turn us against each other!"
The captain turned to Aang, "Your friend is the Avatar?"
Sokka answered, "Sure is, and I'll bet he'll fetch a lot more on the black market than that fancy scroll."
"Shut your mouth, you Water Tribe peasant!"
"Hey, be nice!" I hit his shoulder.
"Yeah, Sokka, you really should shut your mouth." Aang said out the corner of his mouth.
"I'm just sayin' it's bad business sense. Think how much the Fire Lord would pay for the Avatar. You guys would be set for life." Sokka shrugged.
The captain pulled Aang and Sokka away and said to Zuko, "Keep the scroll; we can buy a hundred with the reward we'll get for the kid."
"You'll regret breaking a deal with me." He and two of his soldiers send a blast of fire at the pirates. The pirates jumped back, but one of them threw smoke bombs then jumped into the cloud. Some of the soldiers ran out to Sokka and Aang, who were struggling with their ropes, but they were stopped by several pirates.
"Hey Katara," I ran over to her. "Go to the pirate ship. Try to get it in the water and get away."
"Why are you helping me?" She rubbed her wrist.
"Didn't I say it already?" I gave her a hug, "I like you, Katara, and I'm not your enemy. Don't worry about your necklace. I'll keep an eye on it. You'll have it back soon. Now GO!"
"Right! Thank you, Fel-"
"Just call me Fili. Go!"
She ran to join the fight. I knew what was going on in the smoke, but I couldn't see it. Zuko found his way out of the smoke cloud and hid the scroll behind his back, but the pirate captain found him and they begin to fight. The captain goes for the scroll and it flew into the air but just then Momo caught it.
One of the pirates looked over at me, "Well, hello girlie."
"'Ello puppet," I smirked. "Man compared to the pirates I know of, you guys suck."
"I'll show you a thing or two about pirates," He drew his sword.
"Honestly, you don't even talk like a pirate." I held up my hand and made a finger gun, "All right, come at me, bro, but I warn you, I will use this."
"I'm gonna have fun with you, girlie." He charged at me.
With a thousand eyes and a good disguise.
Hit 'em right between the eyes, Hit 'em right between the eyes.
I sing to myself as I line up my "shot" and pull the "trigger." My base pulse hit the pirate right on the forehead, throwing him backwards. OH MY GOD! I can't believe that actually worked. SPIRIT GUN!
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you'll the lead the way. Show the light of day
Nice way you did. You're gonna go far kid!
"Oh, you're gonna feel that in the mornin'." *said in a fake cowboy accent,* I held up my finger gun and blew the smoke that wasn't really there, sadly. "Who's next?" I was able to take two more pirates before I made it to Zuko and the captain.
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lighting in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives.
Iroh pulled them apart. "Are you so busy fighting you cannot see your own ship has set sail?"
Zuko was steaming with anger, "We have no time for your proverbs, Uncle!"
"It's no proverb!" he pointed to Team Avatar who had hijacked the pirate ship.
The captain shouted in shock, "Bleeding hog monkeys!"
"What?" I swear that is the weirdest thing I've ever heard and that means a lot coming from me. I'm a pretty weird person.
Zuko laughed while pointing at him. His laughter soon dissipated as the pirates hijacked his own boat, "Hey! That's my boat!"
"What did I tell you, fussy pants?"
"Not now, Felicity." He began running after the boat.
Iroh thought for a moment, "Maybe it should be a proverb ..."
"C'mon Uncle," Zuko yelled at him, and Iroh ran after them as well. I'm not a runner, If you see me running then you better run cause shiz is about to get real. When I finally made it over to them, Zuko's boat had already gone over the waterfall.
"My boat!"
Iroh put his hands in his sleeves, "Prince Zuko, you're really going to get a kick out of this. That lotus tile was on my sleeve the whole time!" Zuko was fuming; he snatched the lotus tile and furiously threw it down the waterfall.
"What did I miss?" I smiled as I walked up behind Zuko, "What's wrong, Fussy pants?"
"Stop calling me that!" He demanded as he stormed off.
"But it fits you so well," I handed Iroh the cloth bag, and then went after Zuko. "Zuko, wait up. Zuko, come on. I did warn you, didn't I? Fussy pants, aren't you glad I told you to tell them to follow us? Now we don't have to walk all the way back to the ship. Zuko?" I was laughing the whole time.
Iroh opened the bag and turned it over in his hand, "A lotus tile?! Felicity?"
"I knew he was going to throw yours, and after everything you have done for me, it was really the least I could do."
"Thank you." Iroh smiled.
"You don't have to thank me, you gave me the money. So, you're the one who really bought it. Come on; let's go get him before he kills something."
BACK ON THE SHIP
"I'm still mad at you!"
"What did I do this time?" I asked over my shoulder at Zuko as he walked up behind me. I was looking through the telescope up at the stars.
"Uncle showed me the lotus tile you got for him," He leaded on the railing.
I smirked, "Of all the dastardly things I've done in my eighteen years, that one isn't even a blip on the radar."
"You're eighteen? How did I not know that?" Zuko asked.
"Mhmm," I nodded, "Hope you like older women, Fussy pants."
He coughed and quickly changed the subject, "What all have you done?"
I took a deep breath, "Let's just say, I was very rebellious."
Zuko stared out over the water, "You mean more than you are now? I can't imagine that. Sounds terrifying."
"Ooh, Prince Fussy pants has jokes," I looked over at him. "My mom is a very controlling woman, but when it came to her boyfriend, she forgot all about me and my brothers and sister. I was the black sheep, to get her attention I acted out, and did stupid things. One night I snuck out and took Alice with me. Because of me, Alice was almost seriously hurt."
"Your mother had a boyfriend, but what about your father? Is that all?"
"No, nowhere near it," I sat down and leaned back against the railing. "My parents decided they didn't want to be married anymore. Long story. But anyways, once I thought I was in love, it turns out I was just in stupid. He toyed with me and my feelings. Used them to get what he wanted from me, and then when he got bored, he was done. People I had known all my life turned against me, and called me terrible things. So I decided not to let anyone see how I really felt. I learned how to take all those hurtful things and turn them into a smile, a fake smile but it was my best lie. You would never know it was fake."
Zuko sat down next to me, "When you say he used you, you mean…?"
"Yep, he made me think that he loved me, and he took advantage of those feelings. Then he told everyone. He made me sound so dirty when it was my first time," I stepped back from the telescope and sighed, "but I wasn't going to let him rule me. I learned how to really smile again, and I haven't let another person have power over me since."
"That explains a lot," He stared down at his hands.
"We are a lot alike, Zuko. We've both been burned; my scars are just harder to see." I reached over and took his hand, and laid my head on his shoulder as I traced the veins on the back of his hand. I was surprised he didn't pull away, but I was glad he didn't.
It was quiet for a moment, so nice. There were just the sounds of the water. I closed my eyes and relaxed against Zuko's shoulder. I could have easily fallen asleep. He smelled so nice.
"So, tell me more about this Jedi master and pad.a…whatever you keep talking about." He cleared his throat.
"It's padawan." I laughed. "That's a long story too."
"It seems like something you are very interested in, though."
"Yes, very," I chuckled. "Well then, Fussy pants, let me tell you the story of long ago in a galaxy far, far away…."
A WORLD AWAY, AT FILI'S APARTMENT
"Thank you again," I said, closing the door to Fili's apartment. Her purse aka oversized makeup bag with gum and random coins in the bottom was by the door. I picked it up and looked around inside. Her keys and wallet were still in it. She never went anywhere without her keys, wallet, and cell phone.
I looked around the apartment, everything was still in place. "Man, she needs a maid. This place is a wreck." I started to set down my laptop bag, but I was worried if I did I would lose it in this mess. "I don't want what I expected. She's not the neatest of people."
The TV was still on, but it was so bright. Avatar was playing; it was that "Jet" episode. I never liked that one. I walked over to the TV and tried to turn it off. "What is up with this thing? She was messing with it when I called her."
I took out my phone and tried to call her again. Nothing. "Dang it, Fili, answer your phone." I put my phone back in my pocket and put her purse on my shoulder.
"Fili? Are you here?" I walked back into her room, "Yikes, this is worse than the living room." She wasn't in her room or the bathroom. I walked back into the living room and got a Reese's out of the candy bowl on the TV stand. My elbow bumped the screen, "Oops, sorry."
All of the sudden, I lost my balance and I fell, but I didn't hit the ground. "What the-"
There were trees! Red leafed trees under me. I screamed as they got closer and closer.
"Look over there! Hold on!"
I heard someone call out to me, "To what?!"
"We gotcha," someone or something caught me, in mid-air.
I kept my eyes shut, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home."
"Are you ok?"
I opened one eye, "Oh my god!" I jumped back, but I bumped into someone else. "Oh my god!"
"Hey," He smiled.
"I've died, no I've gone crazy," I started looking around.
"How did you get up in the air like that? I mean I'm no stranger to being in the air, but I always have my glider with me."
"Yep, I'm dead. I'm dead, I'm dead, I died, I'm dead."
"Aang, I think she's gone a little crazy!"
Aang?
"Don't be rude, Sokka. She's probably just in shock from the fall."
Sokka?
"Katara is right, you know what it's like to fall like that. You looked worse than she does."
Katara? "I'm going to pass out now."
"Did she say something?"
"Sokka catch her….."
This is all a dream, a crazy, realistic dream. When I wake up I'll be on the floor of Fili's apartment, and everything will be fine. Fili will be home and we will laugh about my crazy dream where I fainted in Sokka's arms.
Yep, this is all just a dream.
