ATLA • Sokka x Reader

Chapter 6

It's the next day and we're back in the earth kingdom. I'm meditating once again, Sokka's carving something out of a piece of wood, Kataras trying to figure out how to read a map properly, and Aangs pacing around nervously.
"Hey, would you sit down? If we hit a bump, you'll go flying. What bugging you anyways?" Sokka asks.
"It's what avatar Roku said. I'm suppose to master all four elements before that comet arrives."
"Well let's see.." he starts sarcastically. "You've already mastered air bending, and that only took you a hundred and twelve years. I'm sure you could master the rest by the end of summer."
"I haven't even started water bending! And we're still weeks away from them North Pole! What am I gonna do?"
"Hey, it's fine! I studied French for 11 years and I'm not fluent whatsoever, but I started learning German  and I'm doing great!" I say.
"Is that supposed to help me? Because I don't think it is." Aang replies.
"Uhhhhhh yea.... not the best, but what I'm trying to say is that you can learn something pretty easily if your interested in it, or there's an absolute necessity for it, and you check both of those boxes."
"Oh, ok. You're not very good at this."
I smile and place my hand on his shoulder. "No I am not."
"It's going to be ok Aang. If you want, I can teach you some water bending." Says Katara.
"You'd do that?" Aang asks with a goofy grin.
Katara nods and looks around. "We'll need to find a good water source."
"Maybe we can find you a puddle to splash in." Sokka says sarcastically. We roll our eyes. "Also, what's German?"

We continue to fly for a bit when Aang takes us down and lands us next to a river with a waterfall.
"Nice puddle." Says Sokka.
Appa flys and drops into the river with a massive splash. "Yeah! Don't start without me!" Aang yells and runs after the bison.
"Hey! Don't forget why we're here in the first place!" Katara lectures.
"Oh, right." Aang chuckles.
"Hey! What are we supposed to do?" Sokka asks, gesturing to the two of us.
"Well I don't know what you're gonna do, but I'm gonna go take a nap. Peace out beach." I say making a peace sign. I turn around and climb up a tree to hang out on a branch. I hear Aang say something about Appa's toes and then I hear Sokka call after me.
"Hey! You can't just ditch me!"
"I can and I will." I shout back. I chuckle and climb up higher. I settle on a branch and sit on it with my back against the tree and doze off.

I'm standing in a fire nation training facility, a quiver of arrows on my back and my bow in my hand. There's a soldier standing across the room from me nervously as I aim an arrow at him. There are testers in the balconies surrounding, observing me.
"Let the testing commence."
I see the soldier swallow and he raises his hands to bend at me. I aim for his hands and release the arrow. Before it can make contact I hear something.

"(Y/n)."
I open my eyes and see Sokka clinging onto a tree branch for dear life.
"Spirits Sokka. What are you doing?"
"Were going shopping, Aang washed our supplies down the river." I gasp.
"NOT MY WEAPONS!" I shout in distress and practically jump out of the tree.
"(Y/n)!" Sokka shouts.
"What?!"
"Help me down!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"What?!" I grumble and climb back up the tree and help him down half way before I drop him.
"OW!"
"NO ONE CARES SOKKA, GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR LETS GO!" I yell, grabbing his arm yanking him off to Aang and Katara.

We arrive at the market and start wandering around. I wasn't really paying attention. They said something about a whistle and Katara holding onto the money. I wandered off without them and found a stall selling weapons. Thank spirits I keep my money on me. I buy a bow, a quiver of arrows, throwing knives, and two fans, since the ones I got on Kyoshi got washed down the river. Next time I see Suki, I'll have to ask if I can have new ones, since I actually quite enjoy using them. I thank the merchant and walk down the rows of stalls. I buy some food, knowing the GAang will probably forget and I'm drawn to a massive ship. A man was standing in the front shouting about his business. I let out a hum in interest and head inside.
