I'm Still Standing- Book 1: Water

The Fortune Teller

Kya
I rub my stomach .We haven't really eaten in days .Sokka try's to catch some fish but Sokka being Sokka , doesn't catch anything.

"Look!" Katara yells excitedly as she points out into the water .There's a fish splashing .We stand up quickly and run to the shore.

"He is taughting us ! You are so going to be dinner !" Sokka says angrily as he runs a few yards back to camp and grabs the fishing pole .

Sokka runs back to the shore and try's casting the pole .The fishing line's gone . Sokka's gonna blow !

"Hey, where's the fishing line ?" Sokka scowls as he turns to Aang .

"Oh,I didn't think you would need it Sokka," Aang says sheepishly as holds up a woven necklace , decorated with a red flower .

"Aww, it's all tangled!" Sokka yells.

"Not tangled. Woven! I made you a necklace, Katara," Aang shows Katara happily .

Katara smiles and walks over to Aang then takes the necklace .I smile .Aang is head over heals for Katara . I wish someone felt that about me.

Most likely in a couple years Aang's going to be chasing after Katara but she'll already going to have a handsome ,strong warrior . Katara's so beautiful and kind, she deserves a good man .

She can have any guy she wants . Since she's the youngest Katara doesn't have to be betrothed if she doesn't want to unlike me . I'm the oldest child so I have to marry a man chosen by my family .

Man where are we even going to to be in a couple years ? Where will I be? Oh, yeah. I will settled down with Baki in the South Pole with kids .I roll my eyes. Sounds like a blast.

"Great, Aang. Maybe instead of saving the world, you can go into the jewelry-making business," Sokka remarks sarcastically with a scowl .

" I don't see why can't I do both," Aang says cheerfully with a shrug .Sokka scowles looking back a the water.

Suddenly the fish starts splashing in the water again.Sokka hurrys and grabs his spear then throws it at the fish .The spear hits the water no where near the fish .

I chuckle as Sokka growls ,grabs his knife and runs into the water .I finally let out a laugh as Sokka splashes in the water trying to get the fish .

"So, how do I look ?" I hear Katara say from behind me .

Me and Aang turn around to see Katara with Aang's necklace around her neck as she poses .

Aang's eyes get wide and his mouth drops as he looks at Katara while blush appeared on his cheeks. I smile .This kid.

"You mean, all of you or just your neck? I mean, because both look great," Aang smiles like a love sick puppy as he pulls at his collar .

"Smoochi, smoochi, someone's in love!" I hear Sokka say making kissing noises but screamed when he was smacked by the fishes tail. I laugh. My brother has his moments.

Aang's face heats up ."I....well... Uh.." Aang only gets out embarrassed as he rubs the back of his neck .

Katara rolls her eyes.

"Stop teasing him you two .Aang's just a good friend .A sweet little guy! Just like Momo," Katara says walking over to Aang, patting his head then petting Momo. Ohhh that had to hurt.

"Thanks," Aang frowns .Poor kid .

We look to the side as we heard a platipus bear in the distance.

"Someone's being attacked by a platipus bear!" Aang calls as he stands on a large bolder.

An old man ducks and avoids the claw swipes the animal tries to attack him with as he had a relaxes smile on his wrinkled face.
