Song - I Can't Handle Change by Roar

SOKK'S POV

"SOKKA! Stop doing that." Katara whispered to me. She thought I was watching Dee sleep.

I'm not.

I look up at her. "I wasn't doing anything." Look maybe I am but it's not like that, I'm just intrigued.

I made a joke yesterday about how when she passed out that's the longest she slept all week. But today she took a nap. A NAP.

It sounds normal but to me, it's very weird. She barely goes to sleep most nights. But today she's sleeping willingly. It must be because she's sick.

"You're staring again, leave her alone." Katara grumbled.

"Asshole." I whisper I know better than to call Katara a bitch.

But honestly I'm concerned I haven't told anyone this but last night I heard Dee it sounded like she was having trouble breathing, and it's not like I care it's just since she's meant to protect us she has to be in good shape.

At first I didn't believe her about how she is when she's sick, but with all the groaning, coughing, restlessness, sleeping, Rudeness, I could go on for ages. She wasn't over exaggerating.

I wonder what she's dreaming about. Just then Katara walked back up to me and grabbed my ear dragging me away. "Okay! Okay ow."

"Leave the poor girl alone Sokka." Katara instructed me. I grumble a yes quietly but not before sneaking a glance at Dee. What is happening to me?

DEE'S DREAM

"ZUKO NO!" She screamed. "It's too risky."

"Well, that's why you'll be careful." Zuko said trying to convince Dee.

He and Zen wanted Dee to see their secret hideaway in Zuko's garden but Dee wasn't allowed out after 9pm.

So they wanted her to sneak out.

"Why can't we do it another day or earlier today?" Dee questioned.

"Because I need to train all day tomorrow and Zen is going on this trip with his father and we don't know when he's going to come back." Zuko says.

"Come on, you still need to try." Dee stopped for a second taking in what Zen said.

She crossed her arms and looked him in the eyes. "Fine, but if we get caught and I can't come out ever again it's your fault."

"Yes!" Zen said happily.

"Okay we'll be outside your window by 12:00" Zuko said excited almost in disbelief she even agreed.

"I need to go now bye guys." Dee said hugging her friends goodbye.

She left feeling overwhelmed and a little bit excited. She couldn't believe she was doing it. Sneaking out.

Actually, she could believe it. She'd do anything Zen asked her. She wouldn't ever admit it but she had a little crush on him.

It all happened one day when she was 8 and he was 9. She had been shouted at by one of their training teachers for not knowing the movements to a skill. She only came to the school a few weeks before.

She was crying outside alone then he came and gave her an ice cream and a hug and they talked for hours. When they went back in and the teacher started giving her more shit he stood up for her. He got detention for a week but he didn't care and ever since then Zen and Dee were friends and she had a major crush on him.
