Ahh, the mental pictures that gave me...xD Well, back to my view, because the Water Peasants are sleeping! Shh!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sammi watched the siblings as they entered the treehouse, then went back to her own room. School tomorrow, she thought, sighing. She put on her pajamas and turned out the lights, but then flicked them back on when she heard footsteps. She opened her door and sighed again. "Hurry up, Joseph. I'm exhausted." "No, I had this weird dream where Katara and Sokka fell out of your closet. It-" "That wasn't a dream." "What?" "You weren't dreaming," she repeated. "But that's not possible," Joseph protested. Sammi pushed her brother into her room and shut the door. "Look, it's true, okay? And we can't tell anybody about it. Not even mom or dad." "We? When did this turn into we?" "Just now." Joseph groaned. "Fine." "Good. They're coming to school with me tomorrow. Toph and Appa are with Kalin, and Momo, Aang, and Zuko are at Lindsay's house." "Ooooh, Zuko." "Shut up." Joseph smirked and left the room. Sammi turned out the lights once again and went to sleep.

"Oooooh Zuko." xDDDDDDDDDD ____________________________ I'm in the center of the post The black thing walked across Zuko's face. Just keep still... Then it lied down on Zuko's chest and the noice it was making got even louder. The man was going back down the stairs now. Zuko waited in the closet a couple more seconds before he pushed the black thing off him and dashed down the hall. When he got into the room. Aang looked up from where he was sitting. "What took you so long?! Where's the water!?!" Aang asked. "This man, I think it was Lindsay's father came up the stairs so I had to hide in the closet, and the black thing was on my head and-" "You mean Midnight?" He asked pointing to the cat that was sitting at Zuko's feet. "Lindsay says he's harmless." Zuko shook his head "Ok whatever, the point is-" Suddenly the door sung open. "Hey guys I'm ba-" Lindsay stopped when she saw her brother passed out on the floor. "What...happeaned....?" she asked. ------- Lindsay sloved the promblem by putting Ian in his bed and making it look like he fell alseep. When he woke up she asked him about his day and he couldn't remember anything. Lindsay brought Aang and Zuko leftovers from dinner before going to sleep.

OMG. You really handeled that situation responsibly, Linds! (JK xD)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sokka...Sokka...Earth to boomeraang guy...wake up..." "What...oh...hi." Sokka leaned up in his sleeping bag and looked to Sammi. "Time for school," she said. "Why is it so early?" "Because our school administrators are idiots. Now put these on," Sammi said, tossing some clothes at him. Then she went over to Katara. "I'm up," she said before Sammi could speak. "Oh. Okay. Here," she handed Katara her clothes and left. "I'll meet you guys in here when we have to leave." "Alright," Katara said. "And bring some food!" Sammi waved her acknowledgement to Sokka's statement and went back inside. The young warrior stifled a yawn and began dressing. "Why do we have to wear this stuff?" he muttered. Katara shrugged, already pulling on her sneakers. "I guess it's just what we have to do if we want to stay here." "How do you get dressed so fast?" he wondered aloud. Katara giggled. "I'm not that quick. You're just slow." "Ha ha. Very funny. I just hope Sammi's that fast too. I'm starving!"

The kids at the bus stop were staring at Aang and Zuko with strange looks on their faces. One of the girls whispered to another and pointed at Zuko's scar. Zuko snorted and looked away. Lindsay made Aang wear a head band to cover the arrow on his head but the tatto's on his arms where still visiable. The kids whould whisper and point, making the two boys feel self-conicous. After a while the bus came down the road. Lindsay motioned for the boys to follow her onto the bus. They both looked hestiant but they got in anyway. As they walked toward the back Lindsay looked over her shoulder and said with a smile, "Wait until you meet Marissa!"

"So where's that food you promised?" "Oh, right! Here." Sammi opened her backpack and pulled out a bagel, handing one half to each of the siblings. "What is this?" Sokka asked. "It's called a bagel. It's pretty much just bread." Sammi rolled her eyes when he began to sniff around the half. "Just eat it, Sokka!" "Fine, fine." "You don't want any?" Katara asked. "Nah. I don't eat breakfast. Messes up my day." The Waterbender raised an eyebrow. "I know, it's weird. Just trust me." Katara shrugged and continued eating. When they reached the bus stop, three boys were already there. They started looking over and whispering amongst themselves while the other three stood in their own group. "Just ignore them," Sammi said. "They're so immature." "Who are they?" Sokka asked, narrowing his eyes. "The one in the hat is Xavier. He's not so bad. Matt is the big one with the long hair, and that last one is Jimmy. Matt's a jerk and Jimmy's just...weird." "Good to know," Katara murmured. "Why is that...er...Jimmy...staring at me?" Sammi looked over and, sure enough, Jimmy's eyes were glued to the young girl. Sokka went to stand in front of her and Sammi shook her head. Jimmy returned his attention to the group. Then the bus arrived.

"Lindsay! ARE YOU INSANE!?!?" the scream was loud enough to be heard by the whole bus and everyone turned there heads. Lindsay crossed her arms. "I might be insane, but what else am I going to do with them? Kick them out onto the street." Marissa narrowed her eyes. "...Yes.." Aang's eyes widened "You wouldn't do that would you?!" Lindsay rolled her eyes. "Of course not." Marissa sighed. "So did you like sign them up for it and everything." Lindsay nodded. "I'm taking them to the main office to get there schudles before first period. " "Do your parents know they are staying with you?" a new voice asked. Lindsay looked up to see her friends Dan and Nicole looking over the seat. "No." Lindsay answered Suddenly the bus jerked to a stop. Zuko who was sitting in the seat infront of them peered over the seat and gave Lindsay an expecting look. "Oh right, you don't know what to do." Lindsay stood up. "Follow me guys."

Alright this one's just kind of in random 3rd person, not anyone's particular view. Because. Yeah.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Katara carefully followed Sokka and Sammi onto the bus. It was a big yellow thing that almost resembled the trains in Ba Sing Se. She took a seat near the back next to her brother. Sammi sat across from them. "When my friends come in you're probably going to get some more weird looks. Don't be offended, alright? They're nice. Well, Alyssa's kind of lost her way, but you don't need to worry about her," Sammi explained. Katara just held onto the seat until the bus arrived at its next stop. Six girls and one guy stepped in, two of them sitting in the front, and the rest near Sammi. They greeted her and nodded at the two Water Tribe siblings subtly. Sammi breifly thought about what she'd say. Most of her friends didn't know about her obsession with Avatar. Not that it was a secret, but the subject just never came up so there was never a time to let them know. Now she'd have to explain these two strangers sitting across from her. More lies? She hated lying, but at that moment it seemed that there wasn't much else she could do. She kind of panicked. "My mom set up this foreign exchange thing...This is Katara and Sokka. They're gonna stay at my house for a while." The girls seemed content with her answer and continued talking. Soon the bus was full and pulling into the school parking lot. "Follow me."

gaahhh i still can't belive its all over I want an eppilouge ___________________ Zuko and Aang followed Lindsay through the mob of teens. They walked up the stairs and into the school. The main lobby was crowded as useal. There were lines off people standing infront of two tables. About 4 or 5 women were rapidly writing things on paper and handing it to the kids. Other kids were running along rather quickly like they were going to be late for there class, which didn't start for another 10 mintues. There were also people who were standing in werid places causing everyone to try to get around them and making the whole lobby a huge traffic jam. "This way." Lindsay told Zuko and Aang as she pushed through the crowd. She lead them down a hallway before stopping outside a door that had a sign hanging over it saying "Main Office." Aang crocked his head to one side. "Why are we going here?" Lindsay looked over her shoulder and grinned at him. "Well it is your first day so you'll need to know where you are going, where your locker is, what lunch period you have." Aang was still confused but he nodded. This school was sure different then any other school he had seen before. Lindsay opened the door and they walked into the main office.

I know! *sobs* Me too. D=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Names?" The secretary asked drearily. Sokka, Katara, and Sammi were standing in the main office, getting the two siblings properly ready for school. "Sokka and Katara," Sammi answered, gesturing to them. They stood stiff and silent, looking quite intimidated by the massive amount of students in the school. "Last names?" "They don't have any." The secretary looked at Sammi suspiciously, but continued asking questions and writing down whatever answers were given. Then Lindsay, Aang, and Zuko walked in. Aang looked curiously and excitedly around the room while Zuko stood there, looking calm but also slightly interested. As Sammi walked out with the siblings she offered a smile to the group. "See you in gym," Lindsay called after them, then went to help Aang and Zuko with the questions. "Your lockers are here, next to mine," Sammi said, gesturing to two thin, blue, metal doors in a rack of others. "What are we supposed to do with them?" Sokka asked. "You put your books in so you don't have to carry them around all day. And there's a lock on it so no one can steal anything." She showed them how to work the locks and match the numbers (or "symbols," as she referred to them for their sake,) on the paper to the ones on the lock. Then it was time for class.

As Lindsay, Zuko, and Aang left their lockers and went downstairs they both were looking over map of the school closely. Lindsay laughed casually. "You guys don't have to memorize the school on your first day!" Zuko looked surprised "But what it we get lost?" Lindsay smiled. "You won't. You have Kalin and Sammi to help you." Lindsay and Aang both couldn't help but noticing that Zuko blushed at the mention of Sammi's name. Both were holding back laughter. Zuko looked panicked for a second before manging to change the subject. "Where are we going?" "Oh right!" Lindsay smilied. "We're going to computer class." Aang immeadatly interested asked. "Whats a computer?" Lindsay thought about this for a moment. "Well, a computer is a very usefull tool. You can use it to find information, make artwork, read, write, listen to music, lots of other cool stuff. Come on I'll show you."

=D <--that's all i can say.
---------------------------------------------------
By the time the bell rang, everyone was seated and quiet. Well, as quiet as a seventh grade class could be. The announcements went on and more chatting continued amongst the students. Finally they ended and the teacher went to the front of the room. "Alright guys, quiet down. Now I don't want to embarrass anybody, but we have two new students joining us today; Sokka and Katara." A few people turned in their seats and saw the two siblings sitting side-by-side, almost completely in back except for Sammi behind them. Some of them smiled or gave a friendly nod, but most just ignored the teacher and continued with their hidden text messaging. "Okay, everybody grab a textbook and open up to chapter 6," he said, passing out worksheets. "This chapter is mostly about women's rights. Today we'll study the vocabulary and Thursday I'll give you a quiz. So I suggest you listen, Maria," he glanced at a short, curly-haired girl who was giggling at something her friend said just a few seconds before. Her smile faded and she sunk down in her seat. "How rude of her to talk over an elder," Katara said. Sammi shrugged. "I know it's rude but it's so common now that even the most polite people do it without noticing. I usually only talk over teachers I don't like." "Why?" Sokka asked. "Because the ones I'm talking about are bad teachers. It's not like I'll miss anything," she answered. Sokka and Katara exchanged glances, looking unsure. "Nobody's asking you to do anything you don't want to. The most important thing about social life in school is to be yourself. Typically this is the time where people start to lose that instinct." Sammi smiled breifly and then returned to her work, hoping they'd take her advice. Or at least think about it.

"Oh my god." "Amanda please, I know what your thinking." "B-but how is this possibe?!" "I don't know." Lindsay glanced briefly at Aang and Zuko who we're sitting next to her. Poor Briel was trying to explain to them how to macth their usernames to the letter's on the keyboards. Lindsay sighed. They we're going to need reading leasons, which was going to result in some burned books. I'm not letting them anywhere near my Warrior books until they can read. "Just try to be nice to them. Ok?" Lindsay pleaded. They're really confused. "AHH!" Aang gasped. Everyone in the room turned to look. "Yeah thats what I said too during that movie, right Amanda?" "What mov- OW!" Lindsay had elbowed her in the side. "RIGHT Amanda?" "Ooooh right, yeah that was a scary movie!" After everyone turned away. Lindsay looked over at Aang to discover the problem. "What happeaned?" She asked him through closed teeth. Aang sighed, embrassed. "The screen moved." Lindsay sighed and rolled her eyes. It was going to be a long day.

AHAHAHA. Poor Aang.
---------------------------------
Finally, after much confusion on the American Civil War, the bell sounded, signaling the end of class. "Whoa!" Sokka exclaimed, jumping when it rang. Katara just cringed, dropping her books. "Relax, it's just the bell," Sammi said, already exasperated. How much would they have to learn? Did she need to warn them of everything? Would they ever get the hang of things before they had to go? Then her silent questions vanished. She didn't want to think about them leaving just yet. After all was taught, it would be fun. So she took a deep breath and helped Katara with her papers. "Come on, guys. You have math next, right?" "Yeah," Sokka answered, looking over his schedule. "Do you think you can manage getting there?" "...Probably." "And if you get lost?" "Ask a teacher for help," Katara answered. Sammi smiled. "Right. Good luck. I'll see you in gym!" She watched them turn the corner and then continued to her next class - ELA. Kalin and Aang met her outside the door. "You ready to meet Ms. Norton, Aang?" "Why do I have a feeling that I should've prepared myself?" he asked warily. "Maybe you should've," Kalin muttered under her breath, continuing into the classroom. "What's that supposed to mean?" He sounded almost scared now. "...You'll see. Let's get inside before she starts yelling," Sammi said. They walked in, Aang handing Ms. Norton the yellow piece of paper without looking at her. "Hold it," she said sternly, though her voice sounded strained and weak. Sammi noted that it was always like that no matter what. He stopped where he was, which just happened to be at the front of the classroom. At least it was the same students from Social Studies. "You're a new student, am I correct?" Ms. Norton asked, slamming the door behind her after the bell rang. Instead of that noise, he cringed at her words, enunciated so harshly though it was a simple question. "Yes, he is," Sammi answered from her seat. "And I assume they're with you, Sam?" "Yup." "And me!" Kalin added. The teacher walked closer to them. "I'm Ms. Norton." No smile, no handshake, no hint of friendliness or compassion for her job. She paused like she was waiting for a response. Sammi cleared her throat, snapping him out of his daze. "I'm Aang," he said. Sammi winced, seeing Kalin do the same. They'd heard him introduce himself hundreds of times in numerous awkward situations, and each time his voice was a different flavor of cheer. Watching him be so scared of a mere teacher was beyond weird. "Interesting name..." she looked him up and down, then went to her desk. "I'll give you your new seat. And Sam?" "Yeah?" "Keep him out of trouble."
