Airbender

Chapter 3: Friends

I wake up to talking I hear in the kitchen. I try to ignore it but it was pretty loud to ignore. I moan and roll out of bed, literally. I was still a little groggy as I make my way to the kitchen. I rub one of my eyes as I step in.

"What's with all the noise?" I blink a few times until my vision is clear. I see Sokka and my dad sitting at the table, and my mom standing by them. But instead of talking, they were all staring and my with wide eyes, and Sokka was blushing wildly. He quickly looks away. "What?" I said confused. My mom clears her throat.

"Uh...Ara?..." She jesters to my lower half and I look down. I gasp and go very wide eyed. Until now, I didn't realize I was only wearing an over-sized under-garment shirt; almost enabling you to see my undies and such. I pull down the shirt and my face turns redder than Sokka's. I run back to my room making a noise somewhere in between a wine and a groan. I shut the door behind me and push up against it with my back. How embarrassing...

I through on my clothes and sneak down the hall. I poke my head around the corner of the kitchen and luckly only see my mom, who was washing some dishes. I walk in all the way an sit down at the table. I drop my forehead and moan slightly. Mom turns around while drying a plate, and I hear her sigh.

"Maybe next time you should check if you are wearing clothes." I feel my face get annoyingly hot.

"Ya think?" I mumble. She walks over and grabs a woven basket, placing it on the table in front of me.

"How about you go get the clothes on the line, will you?" I sigh and grab the basket.

"Alright." I really didn't want to, but I did anyways. I lean the basket against my stomach and grab the front edge. I walk outside, and head over to the clothes line. I begin to take off the sheets and such, when I began to wonder where my dad and Sokka were. I sigh and begin to take down a big bed sheet. When it comes down I about have a heart attack.

"Sokka! Geez, you scared me!" He nervously laughs and scratches behind his head.

"Heh, sorry. Umm, I was just gonna ask you something."

"Alright, what is it?"

"Well ya know how I was saying you could meet my friends sometime? Well I asked them, and they said they'd be happy to come over sometime." I raise my eyebrows.

"Really?? That would be awesome!" I became really excited at the idea of meeting new friends.

"Great. But let me worn you, they aren't too 'normal'" I just smile and laugh slightly. I didn't really care, I was too excited. "Ok then, I guess I'll find out when they'll come over."

"Sounds great." I smile and nod, then grab the basket and go inside. I could tell I was going to be distracted for the rest of the day.

Sokka's POV

The day before...

Well I finally got a job. Go me! Katara and all of them said I couldn't do it, but I did. I can't wait to tell them and prove them wrong.

I walk into the large house and look around. I'm still not used to such a big home. It wasn't too long ago when Aang, The Avatar, saved the world. Those were the good ol'days. Always going on an adventures, fighting the fire nation, and not to mention the FOOD! But now, life is kinda boring. Even though the food is still pretty good.

"Hey is anyone home?" I walk into the kitchen, but no one was there. I hear some noise coming from the court yard and head there. when I go out there I see Aang laying on Appa and Toph making some sort of sculpture out of rock. They were having some kind of discussion on whether mud could be bend by earth benders or water benders. I strut up to them all proud while puffing my chest out and lifting my chin.

"Hello Aang, Toph. Remember when you said I had to get a job, but then thought it wasn't possible?" They both stop their conversation.

"Uh yeah?" Aang said sitting up.

"Well I DID. In your guys faces! Everyone always said I wouldn't go far, well take that world!" I clench my fist in the air and smile proudly.

"Calm down Mr. confident man. It's just a job. What did you get hired as, a poop scooper?" Toph teases. They both slightly laugh as I glare at them.

"NO. I got a job in a little village outside of town. I'll be helping a farmer out with his garden and stuff. He's paying me with the food that their growing."

"I guess you can call that a job." Toph mumbles.

"Well I think it sounds like a good opportunity!" Aang says encouragingly.

"What sounds like a good opportunity?" I quickly turn around to see Katara walk towards us. I smile widely and point my thumb to my chest.

"I got a job." She bursts out laughing and I lower my eye brows.

"You, got a job?" She says trying to catch her breath.

"Why is that so hard to believe??" I cross my arms.

"Ahem. Heh heh sorry. It's just new to me. So, what job did you get?"

"I'm helping out a farmer guy. Ya know, planting stuff, harvesting stuff, that kind of thing."

"Well I'm very proud of you." She says with very slight sarcasm. She starts to walk away when I stop her.

"Wait, I wanted to ask you guys something. Where I'm working, there's a girl. I think she's about 15 or so but she doesn't have any friends and I told her that maybe she could meet you guys sometime?" They all look around at each other then shrug their shoulders.

"Sure,why not." Aang says.

"Great! Now I'm going to go eat some food. I'm starving!"

The next day, after work....

So I finished my first day of work. And it was Exhausting! I pulled, dug, picked, and planted all day. And to add on that, I had to walk home! Now I'm pooped.

I flop down on my bed  and grown.

"Tired from your first day of work?" Katara says in my door way. I moan in reply. "Sorry to hear that. Well if you want, I can ask Aang if we can start picking you up after work with Appa." I turn my head towards her.

"That would be amazing..." She smiles and rolls her eyes. She then walks away into the kitchen.

"Dinner is in 30." I hear her voice echo through the hall.

Well at least I'll have a ride after work. This job truly is tiring, but I'm not giving up. Not this time. Besides, I made a new friend. Ara.
