Space: That Other Frontier

[markofthewise]

Fine. Going to space does sound cool. But it doesn't make up for losing Suki. Besides, it's not like I'm going there for sightseeing. And these space suits don't sound very flattering either. Did you forget about the thousands of crazy people who will want to kill me?

[And he'll be on the Moon. Do you know how weird that is? What if he damages Yue's face!]

At least it's something to do before all those people from the future show up.

[markofthewise]

Wait, you guys have those?

[moonpowers]

We might. It may be too top secret to let you in on though.

[ Don't believe her, Sokka. Don't do it. ]

[markofthewise]

Uh huh. Somehow you're not convincing me.

[moonpowers]

I may have fibbed just a little.

[ But he seems to be a little distracted from his bad feelings so that's good, right? ]

So this moon trip... do you think it will be a rocky ride?

[markofthewise]

It'll be especially rocky for Toph. [A pause.] Since. You know. She's an earthbender.

[moonpowers]

[ She can't help but giggle at that. ]

Will she become a moon bender?

[markofthewise]

I guess. That won't be weird, right?

[moonpowers]

She seems like the type that respects the surfaces she plays around with, in her own way. I am sure she would be just as respectful to the moon as well.

[markofthewise]

Really? Because... that's never the way I would have thought of it.

[moonpowers]

[ She smiles and reaches up to ruffle up his hair. ]

That is because you have always thought differently then others. It's one of your many charming qualities...

[markofthewise]

Hey, don't do that! I had it just the way I liked!

[He fixes his hair. But he isn't too bothered by it.]

[moonpowers]

[ Can't help but giggle even more. ]

I could not help it. I apologize Sokka.

[markofthewise]

[Heh, he can't help but smile a little at that.]

It's fine. I'd get you back, but I think your hair thing takes longer to put together than mine does.

[moonpowers]

[ She might be pouting just a little. ]

That would be very mean of you.

[markofthewise]

And it's not mean for you?

[moonpowers]

... Well..

[markofthewise]

[A snicker.]

I guess you can get away with it because you're a princess.

[moonpowers]

I may be a princess but you're a prince yourself, remember?

[markofthewise]

Oh. Right. [He DID claim that once.] Prince Sokka. Maybe I need fancier hair to go with it. What do you think?

[moonpowers]

I like your hair just the way it is, Sokka.

[markofthewise]

[Oh jeez. He smiles sheepishly.]

Thanks. I always liked yours too.

[moonpowers]

Sokka, you're going to make me blush.

[markofthewise]

I think it's a little too late for that.

[moonpowers]

It... is hard to contain it when around you.

[markofthewise]

I think I know what you mean.

[Though he feels guilty admitting it. There was no denying that he still loved her, after all.]
