These are some drabbles about what would happen if Sokka had a secret stash of cactus juice! The 1st one is in Sokka's point of view! Very hilarious! ;D 1st chap--
Cactus Juice
He sighed. They were at it again. Ever since the fire prince and his tea-loving uncle had joined the group, his sister and the prince were everything but getting along. Shouting insults, using their bending at each other for hours. Yep, he thought, complete opposites. They say opposites attract, but at the moment, not for those two. And for him, it was way beyond bad. They would fight for hours and hours, and he would never get even the tiniest hint of sleep. And he loves his sleep. His sister came over to him.
“Augh! I can’t stand him! I try to be nice to him, but no-o. ‘I don’t need your pity!’” she said furiously, trying to mimick Zuko’s voice. She’s trying, but not succeeding, he thought. “He doesn’t do a thing around here! He just sits around, thinking he’s the best because he’s a prince! He shouldn’t have to do anything! He’s the most selfish, spoiled, lazy brat ever!” she almost screamed. “Even lazier than you.” His eyelids shot up at that.
“Well,” he said. “It’s nice to know I’ve gone up a level.” But his infuriated sister ignored him. “I can’t believe him!” “I just can’t believe him!” she said, and she started going on and on about how terrible Zuko is and how utterly lazy he is and everything. While she was practically screaming this to her brother, she didn’t notice that he was slowly reaching in his bag with wide eyes staring at her and slowly pulling out a slice of cactus with its mysterious juice inside of it. He slowly and carefully brought it to his mouth and sipped. Then he suddenly froze, dropped the cactus, his small, black pupils turning huge; his eyes dilated. He just stared ahead at first, but then his whole body sort of twitched. (A/N- i.e., the Sokka dance; see ‘The Cave of Two Lovers Episode’ for more info) Then he jumped up, ran to where Zuko was standing, and yelled at the top of his lungs so everyone could hear,
“Good evening, ladies and germs!” even though it was mid-afternoon. “Tonight we have a very special guest with us! He’s the most arrogant, selfish, spoiled, lazy brat in the world, but you still love him!” He grabbed Zuko by the arm and shoved him in front of the group.
“PRINCE ZUKO!” he said excitedly, waiting for everyone to start applauding. Everyone just stared at him.
“O-ookay… that was odd.” His sister said, with a weird look on her face, staring at him.
He looked at the group for about ten seconds before falling over on the ground and swinging Momo by the tail while staring up at the sky with a goofy grin.
Zuko turned to Katara and said,
“What’s wrong with your brother? He’s acting more idiotic than usual.”
Iroh agreed with him, and said with a confused look,
“Yes, I think there’s something wrong with him. He did not drink his usual Jasmine tea this morning.”
“That’s because he doesn’t like it, you old gasbag.” Zuko said to his uncle.
But Katara did not reply, instead, she looked through her brother’s bag, throwing numerous things behind her until she found it.
“Ah-ha! He has a whole compartment of cactus juice! He must have drank it while I was talking.” she said.
“More like screaming.” Zuko muttered under his breath. Katara shot him a nasty look.
“So anyway,” she said, ignoring Zuko’s comment, “Nothing’s wrong with him. He’s just hyped up on cactus juice.” She looked confused, and said, “But I wonder why he used it…”
“Maybe because you two were being such jerks to each other.” Toph said. She was blind, but she could still feel their bending and vibrations from the ground.
Katara was going to protest, but she thought about it.
“Maybe…”
And that is why Sokka always keeps a secret stash of that crazy cactus juice from that blasted desert with him at all times.
2nd chap-- even more hilarious!! ;D
The Game
Here they were, bored out of their wits at camp. Katara looked at them, bored and exasperated. Then she suddenly had an idea.
“Hey guys, why don’t we play a game?” she said. Aang jumped up.
“That’s a great idea, Katara! What did you have in mind?”
“Well, I was thinking that maybe we could play ‘Truth or Dare’.” Katara answered. Sokka quickly looked up from polishing his boomerang.
“No way! I’m not going to play a stupid girl’s game!” he said. Iroh looked up from his tea.
“I’m sorry Katara, but I have to agree with your brother. I think I’ll sit this one out.”
“That’s fine, Iroh; but Sokka, you have to play!”
“What are you talking about, Katara? I don’t have to do anything.” Sokka said. Katara smirked at him.
“What are you; scared?”
Sokka’s voice cracked as he spoke. “NO! I’m not scared!”
“Fine, then you’re gonna have to play the game.” Katara smirked again, looking at Sokka in victory.
“FINE! I’ll play your little game. But I’m NOT going to like it!”
“You won’t have to.” Katara said, her arms crossed.
Aang looked between the two with impatience. “Okay already! Can we just play the game?”
Katara smiled sweetly at Sokka. “Ok, Sokka, then YOU get to go first. Truth or dare?”
Sokka glared at Katara. “I’m not afraid of anything you can dish out. I pick dare.”
Katara’s grin grew and Sokka started to worry just a bit. “Ok, then. Remember the acrobatic girl that was chasing us? The one who took away my bending at Omashu and just recently paralyzed all your limbs?” Katara asked.
Sokka looked confused. “Uh…yeah, why?”
Katara’s grinned menacingly at Sokka. “Good. Then the next time you see her, I dare you to kiss her!”
“WHAT!?”
“Can’t back out of it now. Besides, I thought you said you weren’t SCARED of doing anything I could tell you to do!” Katara said.
“Tell her, Aang! That’s not how the game goes!” Sokka protested.
“Actually, Sokka, that is. She can dare you to do anything.” Aang said with an apologetic smile.
Sokka stared at Aang with wide eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it. Toph and Zuko snickered at Sokka’s dare. Iroh looked between the siblings. This is going to get interesting, he thought with a smile.
“FINE! But it’s my turn now! And I dare you, Katara, t-”
Katara cut him off. “Now THAT’S not how the game goes! You can’t pick me! You have to pick someone else!”
“Fine, I pick Toph. Truth or dare?’ Sokka said with a hint of emphasis on ‘dare’.
“Um, dare.” Toph said, noticing Sokka’s voice.
“Ok, then, I dare you to dare Katara to do something that she would really hate.” said Sokka. Toph grinned hugely.
“Alright, Katara, I dare you to go up to Zuko, tell him you love him and mean it, and then give him a big kiss!” she said.
“WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!” Katara and Sokka yelled.
“I didn’t mean that!” Sokka shouted at Toph. He started chasing her all around their camp, maneuvering around the group’s members. After about ten minutes of Sokka chasing her, Toph made a small rock pop out of the ground with her earthbending right before Sokka was going to step. He didn’t notice it, so tripped over it and landed flat on his face, right on top of Iroh’s tea set. Which had tea in it. Iroh looked down at Sokka on the ground with his tea set shattered into pieces.
“NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT THE TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” he bellowed dramatically. Sokka pulled himself on the ground to his bag, thinking, maybe if I drink some cactus juice; it’ll just wake me up from this horrible nightmare. It will all be just a dream. So he reached in his bag and pulled out a slice of cactus. He took a big sip. He froze, and his eyes dilated, just like recently. Then his whole body twitched again, but much worse than the last time. Nobody noticed Sokka; they were too busy laughing about his and Toph’s chase. “Ohhhhhhhhhh…” Sokka groaned. He fell over for five seconds, then got up and started walking, almost limping, around the group. There was a silence among them.
“You know, Katara, you still have to do the dare.” Toph said.
“What dare do you have to do, little lady?” Sokka said with a high-pitched voice. Katara was ready to reply back, “The one you made Toph dare me to do” but noticed the glazed look on his face and realized what he had just asked. Her brother may be an idiot sometimes, but he wasn’t that stupid!
“Did you-? Oh, no, not again!” Katara said. But then she thought of something. Sokka, in his delirium, because of the cactus juice, would not realize what she was doing. And she did have a dare to do. Besides, she would make Sokka do his dare later. So she went up to Zuko and said, “I love you” very sincerely, and placed a small kiss on Zuko’s lips. Unfortunately for Katara, her intention to just do a small kiss was not exactly what happened, for as soon as her lips touched his, he kissed her back, making it longer than she intended it to be. Sokka just happened to turn around at that moment and smiled stupidly at them.
“Ooooooooh! Somebody’s in loooove!” Sokka said in a singsong voice. (A/N- just like he said to Aang in “The Fortuneteller” episode, only this time it was in his state of delirium)
Katara and Zuko broke away quickly and blushed.
“We really need to do something about that brother of yours.” Zuko said to Katara, rolling his head in Sokka’s direction. Toph was nearby and hearing this, she smiled and replied back,
“Oh, don’t worry about him. He’ll be out in 4…” Sokka spun around in circles. “…3…” Sokka stopped for a moment, smiling. “…2…” Sokka started fall. “…1…” He fell promptly on the ground, his feet coming up for a moment before falling back to the ground. “…0…” There was no movement from Sokka anymore. He was completely out.
And it was times like this that Sokka was very glad that he always had his secret stash of cactus juice with him.
