Sokka's p.o.v.

We'd been running all over on Appa taking what the others called mini vacations. I was agitated due to lack of intelligence on the fire nation and I was concerned because my girlfriend hasn't slept well the last two nights. Which means one thing, she knows somethings coming and can't tell us. Whatever it is has to be big. Stupid spirits making her zip her lip. Knowing the future and not being able to tell is so hard on her. I just wish I knew what's got her tense.

I think Toph's the only one whose noticed, but she hasn't questioned Sky's agitation. Unfortunately it's making me cranky too.

"Sokka come on lets go hunt!", she calls to me as I look up from whittling as the other two train Aang looking over at me as her bow is slung.

I grab my stuff and jump up.

"Don't have to ask me twice.", I say jogging up to my adorable hunting partner.

"Sokka she's still recovering don't let her overexert!", my sister yells as Sky smirks before rolling her eyes making me smirk in return.

"Don't worry sis I'll keep her out of trouble.", I say as we walk away waving.

"Sure you wanna do that? Keeping me out of trouble gets to be a full time job.", she says as we walk

"It' a big job but someone's gotta do it. ", I say teasing back "Have I told you how much I missed you"

"You did now.", she says grabbing my hand "so we're flying to the Misty Palms tomorrow?"

"Ya these vacations are silly, we should be gathering fire nation intelligence.", I say.

"I got a map I picked up in my bag.", she says surprising me.

"How?", I ask.

"I bought it when I was wandering. ", she says " leave it to me to get caught on the wrong side of the cave in in the two lovers cave."

"Actually the nomads would have driven you up the wall.", I say smirking.

"Ya but the crystals that appear on the ceiling when it's dark would of been pretty.", she says with a sigh.

"There's crystals?", I say.

"Ya that's how the two lovers would find there way through the labyrinth.", she says in a dreamier tone "Was kinda hoping Aang and Katara could of got stuck with the hippies after the second cave in and we'd get stuck wandering alone. "

I feel my self blushing as I pick over at the light pink dusting her cheeks.

"Don't worry I'm sure there's lots of other places we can get lost alone together.", I say.

"Yea.", she says looking at me.

"Yea, now can you tell me what's wrong? You've been tense for days.", I say.

"Sokka something big is coming and I can't tell you but I'm not sure if I can stop it or change it. ", she says "It's just got me overwhelmed."

"Hey what ever it is we'll get through it together.", I say pulling her into a hug "Just try not to do anything crazy that'll get you hurt. "

"I can't promise that Sokka. To change it I may have to try something crazy.", she says looking down.

"Then until it's over I'll just have to keep you in my reach so you stay out of trouble.", I say staring at her as doubts swirl in her eyes "As long as we're together Sky everything will be ok."

"Thanks Sokka.", she says hugging back before kissing me. Gosh I love this girl.

Sky's p.o.v.

The next day we were at the Misty Palms Oasis home of the half melted glacier.

"I guess it's changed a lot in a hundred years.", Aang says.

"So Sky you were saying you had a current map.", Sokka emphasized and I smirked at him. He'd been true to his word. He had not let me leave his sight unless I was changing or going to the bathroom. It made me feel more, I don't know... Reassured everything would be ok.

Even though I still had to figure out what to do about Appa. "Ya let's go inside and I'll pull it out of my bag.", I say "Sides I wanted to try one of the mango smoothies." as I take his hand and drag him in giving two sand benders the stink eye.

"Actually your right since your here I'd like to partake in one of those fruity beverages as well.", he says and I giggle.

We get ours first and sit at the table with my map as the two of us discuss it while Toph rests her legs."

"It's ok I clean easy.", Aang says and I wince as the stupid professor inspects Aang and they go into talk about the library and I see Sokka's eyebrow raise.

"Guys I think I've just decided on where I want to go. To the library.", Sokka says in a goofy voice that if I wasn't feeling apprehensive would have made me laugh. Soon we were airborne on Appa, everyone but Toph looking for the library, Sokka with his shirt around his head. The cartoon totally underestimated Sokka, he wasn't all scrawny. He actually had a bit of lean muscle on him and as her progressed and did his sword training I knew it would increase. I was looking for the fox or the tower though since I knew that's what we'd find.

"Look there it is!", Toph shouts as everyone looks over the side but me and I chuckle at the joke "That's what it'll sound like if we ever find it. " as she waves her hand over her face reminding the others she is blind.

It made up for the professors annoying questions to me since I was a oddity. Uhg. He tries to touch my hair one more time and I'm gonna throw him off the bison. Dude personal space.

Eventually I spot the fox.

"Hey look a knowledge seeker!", I say as he's about to touch me again creepily catching his attention as he looks at the fox and I relocate to the other side of Sokka. Well here it is Sky, can you save Appa or will I get my rear handed to me trying.

"Sky you coming in.", Sokka says as I'm watching the horizon.

"No.", I say "I'll keep Toph company. You guys be careful."

"Maybe I should wait to,", Sokka says.

"No, your the only one that will make sense of the clues you get and what the device does and tells you.", I say looking at him but when the library sinks get out as fast as you can. " and he nods.

"Just be careful.", he says kissing my head as he and the others go in while I wait outside with Toph. I grab my bow an quiver and attach them as I watch the horizon from atop Appa as Toph leans on him.

"Is it really bad.", Toph asks.

"Ya. It effects the next several weeks.", I say as I watch for the sand benders.

Soon I spot the boats as the tower starts to sink.

"Toph get the library!", I shout as she runs and starts to bend against what ever force pulls the library down.

"Get lost, this Bison belongs to the Avatar!", I shout at them as one blasts sand at me which I airbend away.

I follow it up by firing a volley skimming the lead creeps face. "Leave!" I make sure my tones authoritative as I stare coldly.

"You missed!", he says.

"Who says I missed?", I say cockily as he looks shocked as I blood bend his buddy to his knees "Now submit and leave or I'll kill every one of you to protect this bison. "as I start to freeze the water in the guys legs with my water bending as he screams in agony.

"Kill the witch then the bison's ours!", shouts the leader as I jump off Appa as they fire nets while I use airblade to cut the nets.

"Appa fly away!", I shout as I get hit by a sand blast knocking me down but I'm not down long as I use my airbending to sandstorm the stuff at the benders.

Unfortunately a net lands on me but I work to cut myself free as Toph yells my name "Sky!"

"Don't drop the library Toph, I'll be ok.", I say reassuring her as I get out and net another sand bender as Appa starts to roar due to being upset "Appa run please I don't wanna kill them all and can't hold them off if I don't . Its for you safety."

"I'm gonna enjoy making you squeal witch!", he shouts swinging a fist towards me

"Names not witch its Sky Nagamo to you, like it , learn it love it, or I'll carve it into your forehead!", I growl as I kick him in the groin.

Unfortunately I'm busy with him and the three stooges with him so I don't notice a second net wrap around the sky bison until he roars.

"Appa!", I shout as he gets dragged by an airboat as a knife digs into my leg but I use my blood bending to break the idiots arm in half making him scream as another guys yells to muzzle Appa while a knife but hits the back of my head sending my world black.

Sokka's p.o.v.

I was so excited we were finally out of the library with the murderous owl as I was going on about how to take the fire nation when Aang says some thing that stops me cold.

"Where's Appa?" as Toph's crying.

"Sand benders took him, I can't see her through the sand. Sky's hurt.", she says as I turn to spot my unconscious girlfriend on the ground and run to her .

"Sky!", I shout looking her over as I spot knot on her head and a knife wound in her leg that's bleeding as she's dirty and bruised as Katara comforts Aang about Appa.

She starts to stir as I carry her over to Katara. "Sokka?", she says then her eyes start to tear up "There were to many. Appa wouldn't run!", she says sobbing suddenly into my shirt "I tried, I really did."

"What do we do now?", my sister says while I hold my sobbing girlfriend as Katara starts to patch her up.
