Sokka's p.o.v.

"Hey stop pacing if we hit a bump your gonna go flying off the bison.", I shout to the pacing airbender as I steer the bison while my sister tends Sky's burned arm. She was wearing the shirt she came to our world in with the water tribe pants since the other shirt had been damaged by Zhao. I had to admit the color suits her.

"I can't I just found out I have to learn all the elements and defeat the Fire Lord before Sozin's comet comes.", says the stressed airbender.

"Well Sky knows the future so she can just find us all your teachers.", Katara says as Sky gets that faraway look in her eyes.

"Guys I got reprimanded in the spirit world for telling you to much already.", she says looking down.

"When if they send me home for telling you to much and wipe you memories of my existence. There's some big stuff I've been instructed not to tell you"

"She's got a point, if she gets sent back then we won't be able to use her info anyways, and who knows how much her being here has altered anyways.", I say as she sends me a greatful smile. Knowing the future is a burden for her, and having to keep quiet is harder. I don't want to put anymore stress on her.

"Besides you mastered airebending in a hundred and twelve years I'm sure you can get the other three mastered by then."

"Sokka your no help.", Katara says.

"I haven't even started waterbending.", Aang says "Sky bends more water than me when she sneaks off to practice alone."

"When if I show you what I know, maybe that'll help you get started.", Katara says.

"Yea that would be great!", Aang says, "Maybe we can find a puddle to practice in."

"Well Sokka what do you think.", Sky says.

"I'm sure I can find a puddle somewhere.", I say smirking.

a few hours later we're landed by a river and unloaded as the large bison and the winged lemur jump in to play.

"Hey guys wait for me!", shouts Aang.

"Aang!", Katara calls to him.

"Oh yea, your right.", he says as he goes to practice with my sister while Sky giggles hanging her bag on the tree branch.

"Hey what are me and Sky supposed to do while you to play in the water?", I ask.

"Practice our evasion skills tag your it!", Sky say says touching my arm before she sprints giggling.

"Or you could pick the mud and bugs out of Appa's toes." Aang says offering me a stick.

So I can chase the pretty girl and play tag or pick bison toes, which to pick tough choice.

"Hey get back here I'm gonna catch you Sky!", I shout running after the giggling girl.

To her credit she's fast, and not using her airbending to speed her self up.

"what's the matter not gonna use your bending to escape."

"Nope, when if I get in a situation I can't bend.", she says dodging as I jump at her giggling.

Man she's fast as I continue running I finally corner her on top of the bison.

"I've got you now.", I say then a wave comes and knocks us both off the bison and into the river.

"Sokka are you ok.", she says as we both climb out. "Ya you?", I say helping her up and she nods pushin the wet hair out of her face.

"Sorry Sokka and Sky we were just practicing.", Aang says.

"Ya well you just practiced our supplies down river.", I say rolling my eyes.

"There's a village a little ways away, lets get supplies there.", Katara says.

"It was hard enough when you were just a airbender.", I say nodding my head.

"Here let me dry us off Sokka.", Sky says then waterbends our clothes dry.

"Some times I forget you can waterbend too.", Katara says "why don't you practice with me."

"I have my reasons.", Sky says grabbing her bag from the tree.

A short while later we're shopping in the village deciding what to do with our last coins.

"We only have 3 coppers left.", I say.

"Make that two I couldn't say no to this bison whistle.', Aang says.

"No offense Aang but i'll hold onto the money from now on.", Katara says.

"How do you know it even works?", I ask as the airbender blows and it makes no noise.

Momo takes it an blows.

"See even Momo thinks it's dumb."

"Curios, get your curious.", shouts a guy with a lizard bird.

"You you look interested in curios." as he grabs Aang.

"What's a curio.", he asks.

"A grouping of items to rouse you interest or curiosity.", Sky says watching the man.

"Hey lets look.", the airbender says.

"No thanks Aang, you can go ahead if you want, I'll meet you at camp. ", she says stopping by me "Be on your guard Sokka these guys are trouble." as she continues to walk when I nod showing I heard.

As we enter I look at the weapons then realize when they say there high risk traders there pirates.

I return to the weapons as Aang and my sister try to haggle over a scroll, then suddenly my sister drags me out of the boat.

"Hey I just got to the boomerangs!"

"Look there they are get them!", shouts a pirate.

"Maybe they changed there mind about haggling.", Aang says.

"I doubt they wanna haggle.", my sister says.

They run at us as we run then I spot Sky running our way behind the pirates.

"Sound like some one needs to get the slip.", she says as somehow she pulls water from the air and a frozen puddle forms under the pirates making them fall down sliding just as we grab on Aang flying over the fallen pirates.

Sky pulls out her glider going airborne following us until we're away safely.

"Sky how'd you do that puddle?", Aang says.

"More importantly why were they chasing us?", I ask.

"Ya i used to look up to pirates.", Aang says as Sky crosses her arms.

"Ya that's why I took this.", my sister says holding a scroll.

"Whoa you stole the waterbending scroll.", Aang says in awe.

"I think of it as high risk trading.", she says as Sky rolls her eyes.

"You risked our lives so you can learn some fancy splashes!", I shout.

"These are real waterbending forms, Aang and Sky need to learn them too.", she says.

"Don't rope me in, I have a photographic memory, I would've just memorized them and left the scroll.", Sky says.

"Well whats done is done, may as well learn from it.", Aang says.

Sky's p.o.v.

I watch as Aang holds the scroll while Katara practices the water whip.

This time she hits Momo and Sokka laughs while I smirk as I lay on my stomach next to him.

"What's so funny!", the angry waterbender shouts.

"You, she's got you duped. She's only interested in teaching herself.", Sokka says

"I told you he can have his turn when i master this move.", she says as I roll my eyes.

"Fine Sky let's see you try it, bet you you can't get it either!", she says as I hop up look at the paper and focus

"Watch, cause i'll only do it once.", I say as she glares.

I feel the water and pull it as i shift through my stance executing the move the first try.

"Whoa Sky that was so cool.", Aang says.

"Thanks little bro.", I say rubbing his head.

"Hey Katara I think you just got to shift through your stances like Sky just did.", he says as Katara glares.

"Why don't we just burn this scroll then since we don't need it and your both so naturally gifted!", she shouts and Aang's face turns red ready to cry from his crush yelling at him.

"Katara stop it!", Sokka shouts as her gaze softens looking at Aang.

"Aang I'm so sorry, i didn't mean it here you take the scroll.", she says

"It's ok Katara your just frustrated.", he says as I stay emotionless.

"What about Sky.", Sokka says coming to put an arm around my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Sky, can you forgive me.", she says.

"Ya, no hard feelings.", I say.

"And the real victim Momo.", Sokka says as Katara says her apologies to the lemur.

"And what about me...."

"No more apologies!", she shouts stomping off.

That night I fake being asleep as she sneaks the scroll and goes to practice in secret. I leave my gear on Appa, as I follow her and watch her practice when the pirates show up and she runs into Zuko.

"I'll save you from the pirates.", he says huskily.

"Ya but whose gonna save her from you sparky.", I shout water whipping said teenage boy as I jump down before side-kicking him when he releases Katara but numbers are against us as we get tied to the tree anyways when some moron whacks me on the back of the head.

"Now I've lost something very dear to me.", he starts.

"What your sense of humor, haven't seen it Sparky.", I say as he growls at me.

"Stop calling me sparky!", he shouts before calming down "What I lost is my honor, to regain it I need the Avatar. perhaps in return I can give you something you lost." and he holds up the ugly bracelet I lost at the earth prison on purpose.

"So that's where that went. You can keep it.", I say smirking.

"who cares about that we want our scroll back.", says the pirate.

"what's it worth if I burn it.", he says holding a flame below the scroll "Search the woods the monk has to be close."

The pirates and benders search as I work on wriggling out of my bonds.

A short while later Sokka and Aang are brought forward.

"Are you guys okay?", Aang asks.

"I've been better.", I say

"Aang this is all my fault.", Katara cries.

"No it's not.", Aang says sweetly.

"Ya it kind of is.", Iroh says answering why he's still single.

"Hey wait your trading a stupid piece of paper for the Avatar and a cute blonde airbender.", I say catching Sokka's eyes widen telling me he caught on.

"Ya I'm sure there worth more than that stupid scroll.", Sokka says.

"That kids the avatar?", the pirate says.

"Ignore them there trying to pit us against each other!", Zuko shouts.

"Come on are you telling me the Avatar and the last female airbender are worth more than a piece of paper.", I say as I free an arm.

"Keep the scroll the Avatar and the girl will bring a bundle.", the pirate says.

"You"ll regret breaking a deal with me.", Sparky says as they start to fight as I get my other arm free and shimmy out of the ropes.

As the lemur unties Katara I hurry to the boys and cut them loose as the fighters are in a dust cloud. I grab Sokka's hand as we run together towards the boat.

"Lets use the pirate ship to get away.", I shout as the other two eventually reach us.

"It's to heavy to push in.", Sokka says.

"Not to heavy for three water benders.", I say as the other two benders wink and we bend the water so the boat goes in and we jump aboard.

"Can't this thing go faster?", Katara shouts.

"This isn't a water tribe boat I don't know how!", Sokka shouts.

"There catching up!", I shout and before i know it we're fighting pirates.

"Good job Katara you did the waterwhip.", Aang shouts.

"Thanks Aang you too.", Katara says as they whip a pair of pirates.

"Stop congratulating and help me!", Sokka shouts as I jump down and blow the pirate away from Sokka.

"I got your back.", I say smirking..

"I'm so glad your here too.", he says making my heart skip as I kick another pirate.

"We're gonna go over the waterfall!", Sokka shouts as the last pirate is off.

"Not yet.", I shout "Guys help me slow it.", as I start to bend us away so we don't go over.

"It's gonna crash into us!", Sokka shouts as we go over and jump as I grab onto my crush in case Appa's to slow but thankfully he gets us quick as we fall and land on him as the pirates go over the falls.

As we fly away, I don't mention it cause he doesn't notice or complain but Sokka's still got his arms wrapped around me, and mine are around him as we're crouched side by side as our hearts are still racing from the fight, although his proximity is affecting me as well.

I think I really am falling for Sokka.
