ATLA: Bonds Within Bending

In Trouble

Sokka's POV

AN INVITATION TO THE SPIRIT OASIS!? SUKI'S GOING TO GET SENT TO THE SPIRIT WORLD!!

"You are invited to the spirit oasis?? I didn't even know that place was actually real", Katara was shocked but so was I, I thought the spirit oasis was some kind of stupid water tribe conspiracy theory, apparently there's some sort of way to the spirit world there, which also sounds like a load of crap.

"Well, we're invited", I showed her the card, Yue invited both Katara and I, something about this whole thing just feels like we're going to watch an execution, and Yue wants to make a some sort of sick show out of it.

"What??", Katara squinted at the card, "this doesn't feel right", thanks god she also feels something's off about this too, like obviously it's bad that Suki and Yue have this whole fight thing going on, but including a water tribe myth? Definitely makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Are only water tribe people able to go?", Aang also wanted to look at the card but I put it in my pocket, this is a family problem a Water Tribe problem, as much as Aang is a great guy, Katara and I need to stick together and keep our wits about us.

"Yeah seems like it", I shrugged and quickly changed the subject so he knew this didn't concern him, "Yue will probably send us a car for tonight, we should probably get prepared or something", I kept my eyes on Katara, blocking Aang out like he isn't here, for his own good.

"How do you know it'll be tonight, did it have a date and time on that tiny card?", Aang tried to get back into the conversation, why is he so curious?

"Because The Water Tribe rise with the moon, and if this card came today, that means it's today", I bluntly spoke to him but didn't take my eyes off Katara, I know it probably looks rude but I'm saving the guy.

"But Suki's going to be there, if Earth benders are going to the oasis then I'm sure Air benders can too", Katara caught on to what I was doing and immediately shoved it back in my face, does she really need to bring him along everywhere now!?

"I don't want to be responsible for a missing air bender", I frowned, I'm right though, bringing Aang could end up breaking some sort of rule and either him or us paying the price.

"He's more then capable to be responsible for himself", Katara raised a brow at me, I guess I have no choice after that 'your sister knows better' look I just got.

"Okay well don't put the blame on me when things go badly", I rolled my eyes at how insistent she is, but we'll just see what happens I guess.

"I need to meet up with Suki and talk to her about this", Okay so I'm incredibly worried about her, I know we haven't been on the best of terms but I don't want anything terrible to happen to her. She needs to be told about all this Water Tribe trash so she can have some sort of a heads up.

"Bad idea, I'll go, you getting involved will just cause more upset, and most likely harm to yourself, don't forget about what Aunt Wu said", she continued, I don't really care about what Aunt Wu said, she has nothing to do with this! Katara's right though, I don't want to make matters worse.

"Okay, I've got my shift soon, I'll bring it up casually to General Iroh, he's old and wise, I bet he knows more about the spirit oasis then anyone", I shrugged and walked to the door, reminding myself I should actually get ready for my shift, I must've forgotten about it during the insane amount of panic this morning has brought me.

"We'll head to Suki's soon, where is she staying?", Katara asked, whilst Aang swiftly grabbed a pen and a piece of paper to copy what I said. I just took the paper and pen off him and wrote down the address.
