A/N: Gasp! What's this? TamTikitigo updating her fanfiction? Yes yes, it's true. Sorry I'm updating like, two months after I posted this. School started, and I'm in Marching Band, school play, AND debate. Yes, you don't care about my personal life, on with the story.

Begin Chapter

"Ty Lee. Ty Lee, wake up!"

"Socks? Is that you?"

"Socks? Who's Socks? It's me, Mai." Ty Lee opened her eyes to find that she was in her room, with Mai standing over her. No mustache's, no flying bisons, no Sokka.

"Wait, what?" Ty Lee sprung up out her bed quickly.

"Good god, do you ever just stand still? Even in your sleep you twist around as if you were being possessed, do you know that?" Mai told her, folding her arms around her chest and speaking in that same dry tone of voice.

"Wait wait wait, where's Socks? How did I get out of that ditch? Why am I back in my room?" Ty Lee asked feverishly, grabbing Mai by the shoulders and shaking her furiously. Mai simply glared at Ty Lee and plucked her hands away from her arms cooly.

"The blind girl earthbended you and that boy out of the ditch. You're lucky I got there before she was able to smash you to bits."

"Hey, you rhymed!"

"Oh god Ty Lee focus! Look, basically what happened is Azula and I had to carry you back here while the rest of them got away. Again. I would be mad at you if them getting away wasn't the norm. But it is. Now it's my turn to ask you a question. Where on earth did you find the time to get high, and what did you get high on?" Ty Lee giggled nervously, and began fidgeting.

"Well, uh, remember that cactus juice that I got the last time we were in the desert?" Ty Lee asked softly.

"The cactus juice Azula and I told you to throw out?"

"Yeah, that's probably the same cactus juice that I'm talking about. Well, the thing is, I thought that we were going to have a lot of free time, since there was no sign of the Avatar, so I drank some. But then, Azula was all 'oh we've spotted the Avatar!' and I was like 'oh crap,' and then I started tripping out while fighting and then I fell into the ditch with Socks. So... is Azula mad at me?" Ty Lee asked Mai timidly. Mai raised an eyebrow at Ty Lee.

"Yeah, maybe you should pretend to be sleeping for a while or something. She kind of wants to kill you." When Ty Lee heard this, she began to get teary. She sat back down on her bed, and buried her hands in her face. Mai let out an exasperated sigh.

"Not literally! She might throw some blue fire at you but come on, she won't kill you!" This didn't help Ty Lee stop crying, and she continued to whimper away. Mai sighed, and sat down next to Ty Lee.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to talk about?" Mai asked while patting Ty Lee on the back. Ty Lee wiped her eyes, and curled her knees up to her chest.

"It's just that, I met someone while I was down in that ditch."

"Yeah, I figured. There were only two people down there." Mai said. Ty Lee gasped.

"Who?" She asked excitedly.

"You and that boy, stupid!"

"Oh yeah."

"What happened?" Mai asked her. Ty Lee shrugged.

"We talked, and we got to know each other, and he was so nice to me and he was so beautiful, and I think I fell in love with him." Mai wasn't really a sentimental kind of girl, so of course she had to scoff at what Ty Lee said.

"Well, no offense Ty Lee, but you were tripping balls the whole time you were down there." Mai said.

"What's your point?" Ty Lee asked sweetly. There was a brief silence, as if Mai was really trying to decide wether she should seriously answer or just give up.

"My point is, you were high. You had no idea what was going on. Even if you did, how well do you know this kid other than the time you guys spent in that ditch? Do you even know his name?" Mai asked.

"I do know his name! His name is Sokka! But I like to call him Socks, and there is nothing you can do about it! So you lose!" Ty Lee yelled, while poking Mai's shoulder furiously. Mai was about to respond, when Azula came bursting through the door.

"You!"

"Uh oh..."

"I still don't get why you didn't just kill her when you had the chance!" Toph said angrily, pointing at Sokka.

"What was I supposed to do? The poor girl was out of her mind, that wouldn't be fair!" Sokka replied defensively. Aang and Katara gave each other looks, both wondering when the two of them were going to shut up.

"Not fair? Are you a warrior or what? Are warriors fair! No! Warriors defeat people, and what you did was lame! What you did was... It was down right feminine! You bonded with some twinkle toes dancer lady, probably over makeup and shoes and... and dolls!" Toph yelled, clenching her fists furiously.

"Hey, we did not talk about shoes!" Sokka said triumphantly. When he received blank stares from the rest of the group, he finished quickly with "we didn't talk about dolls or makeup either!"

"In Sokka's defense, she was no twinkle toes. That girl is dangerous when she's not – well..."

"High?" Sokka suggested to Katara.

"Uh, yes."

"But the point is, she was high! You could have smashed her! You could have defeated her, and we could have one less enemy to worry about! Way to go Sokka, way to go," Toph said.

"You know what kid, I don't think you really understand what being a warrior is all about. It's not just about defeating enemies, it's about honor, and trust, and... well, noble stuff like that! So... uh... I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, actually," Sokka confessed.

"Guys, can you just give it a rest?" Aang asked tiredly. "We got away from them, and that's what matters, right?"

"Wrong, twinkle toes. They're still going to be on our path." Toph told him. Aang considered this for a moment, and then smiled brightly, as if a lightbulb had turned on right above his head.

"Well, maybe this means that Ty Lee will be less likely to try to attack us," Aang said. "Maybe she'll be too smitten by Sokka to even attempt to fight! This could be an advantage!" Everyone considered this for a moment.

"You've got a point, Aang." Katara said thoughtfully. Toph considered this for a moment, and nodded her head.

"True, I suppose this could be an advantage. Hey, while we're at it Aang, why don't you seduce Azula and Katara can seduce that other chick," she said in a mockingly sweet tone.

"Hey!" Katara yelled crossing her arms across her chest.

"Oh, did you want Azula?" Toph asked, smirking at Katara. Katara simply rolled her eyes and refused to look at Toph.

"I was just looking on the bright side of this," Aang said defensively. Sokka sighed and rubbed his eyes. This was all too much for him. Just a few hours ago he was canoodling with Ty Lee, and now he was on the flying bison with three different people engaging in a bickering match.

"Guys, can we just go to sleep?" He asked tiredly. Toph shot him a glare, but before she could say anything, Sokka interrupted her.

"Look Toph, I know you're angry. I suppose you have a right to be angry, but leave me alone for now, okay?" Toph's face softened a little, and she folded her arms and refused to look at Sokka. Aang and Katara exchanged worried looks, and for the rest of the night Sokka was left alone.
