Anya's POV:
The next morning I am fast asleep in my cozy sleeping bag when all of the sudden I am woken up by what seems like an earthquake!  I jump out of my fuzzy bag and spring into action and then noticing that it was just Toph waking up and then I noticed that I was only in my under where because where we were it was hot.....and when I looked over I noticed Sokka staring and blushing.

Katara then slugged him and rolled her eyes while I ran back into my sleeping bag completely ashamed and humiliated.

Toph: NICE UNDERWHERE!!!

I peeked my head out of my sleeping bag.

Anya: It was hot last night ok!?

Katara: Anya you do know that we have seen you in your underware before right?  Like anytime we go swimming?

Anya: Ya but that's when everyone is in their underware it's different.

Katara: Whatever come have some breakfast before Aang and Toph start creating earthquakes.

We all eat our breakfast of seal jerky and berries and then Aang and Toph get to work....very loud and moving work.

Toph: Now remember, to beat a rock you have to be a rock, stable, stubborn, hard.

Aang tries to move the rock with little to no success.

Aang: Maybe if I try working it from a different angle!

Toph: NO!  That's the problem you are still thinking like an airbender, there is no other way no trickety trick that's gunna move that rock, you've got to face it head on!

Katara walks over and I notice her start pulling Aang away from the frustrated earth bender.  I then walk over to Toph.

Anya: Hey Toph, how's the bending going?

Toph: ITS IMPOSSIBLE!  HE IS JUST NOT THINKING LIKE AN EARTH BENDER!  Katara told me to give him positive reinforcement like the two of you do while teaching him water bending but earth is a stubborn element!  You can't be gentle with it!

Anya: I know your frustrated but he will get it, I promise you that.

Toph: Well he better get it fast!

I laugh and then make my way over to where Sokka is once again sharpening his precious boomerang.

Anya: What is so special about that thing anyway?

Sokka: Boomerang is a beautiful piece of weaponry and has saved our lives many times!  It hit Zuko on the head when he was trying to capture our village!

Anya: Well then I stand corrected, so what are you gunna do while Aang try's to earth bend and Katara and Toph have their end table fight?

Sokka: I was thinking of going hunting....you wouldn't want to come would you?

Anya: Sure, sounds fun!

I see a huge smile creep across Sokkas face.

Sokka: Great!  Well I guess I'll have to do all the hunting since you don't have a weapon.

Just as he says that I pull out my bow and arrow and then I use my wolf whistle to call Lily.

Anya: You were saying?

Sokka just blushes and mutters nonsense words.

We walk into the forest and listen for any sounds of animals, Lily has her nose planted in the ground, tail wagging.  Then we see a baby moose lion.

Anya: Oh Sokka, not the baby, come on we can find something else.

Sokka: Look Anya I know it's cute but unfortunately he is made of meat.

Before I can stop him he is charging full force at the cute little cub and then falls into a hole.

Anya: SOKKA!!!

Sokka: I'm alright.

Anya: Well in that case you deserved that.

Sokka: Why?  Because I love meat?

Anya: No because you were willing to kill something so cute to get meat.

Sokka try's to struggle out of the hole with no luck while the moose lion cub just stares at him.

Sokka: You are one lucky meat creature.

I try everything to pull Sokka out of the hole but nothing seems to work and I can tell that he is getting very frustrated.

Sokka: I THINK IF YOU PULL ANY HARDER MY FINGERS WILL COME OFF!!

Anya: Well I can't really just leave you here while I go get help so what else do you suggest?

Sokka: Become an Earth bender for two seconds?

I roll my eyes and continue pulling.  Just then Aang comes out of nowhere.

Anya: AANG!

Sokka: THANK GOD!  Have you got any meat!

Aang: What happened?

Anya: Sokka fell in a hole.

Aang: Well don't worry Sokka I'll get you out.

Aang airbend a at Sokka but all that ends up doing is messing up his hair.

Sokka: Aang I could really use some earth bending right about now.

Aang: I can't, I'm sorry, I'm just not ready and I don't want anyone to get hurt.

All of the sudden we hear clapping, which is coming from Toph who was silently observing.

Aang: YOU WERE SITTING THERE THE WHOLE TIME AND YOU DIDNT SAY ANYTHING!?

Toph: I was just watching this very touching moment.

Aang: THATS IT!  IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SELFISH ATTITUDE!

Just then Toph rolls a giant boulder down a hill and in that moment Aang is able to stop it!

Toph: YOU DID IT!  You're an earth bender!

Sokka: Now how about getting me out of here?

Aang: No problem Sokka.

Toph: Actually maybe I should do this you might actually crush him.

Sokka: Ya no crushing please.

Toph bends him out and then pulls him out by his hair.

Sokka: Ow!

I giggle

Ohhhh more Sokka and Anya moments!
