Sokka groaned as he slowly began his most difficult daily chore: waking up. Open mouth, yawn, stretch, rub eyes, open eyes, close eyes, go back to sleep until Katara starts yelling, open eyes, roll out of sleeping bag, glomp breakfast, fight Momo over aforementioned breakfast, and attempt to crawl back into sleeping bag.
He had just reached the fourth step when he realized something was terribly, terribly wrong.
It was dark. It was not time to wake up.
The trauma of this incredible revelation sent Sokka into an upright position. With his eyes wide open in shock, searching frantically for the light of the sunrise, he abruptly became aware that something else was terribly, terribly wrong.
He couldn't see.
Everything was completely dark. Which was strange, considering he fell asleep staring woefully at the full moon. The moonlight had been bright enough to see in, and it had been a cloudless night.
Reaching up to rub his confused head, he realized that yet another something was terribly, terribly wrong.
He had hair. Lots of long hair.
And now the ground was rumbling. But not so much rumbling as sending a message...
And then it hit him. No sight, long hair, weird vibrations in the ground, and an inability to sleep. It could only mean one thing.
He and Toph had been abducted by aliens who had switched their bodies.
“Katara! Katara! Help!” He cried in a panic, arms flailing as he stumbled out of his sleeping bag. A vibration told him the fire was two feet to the left, and Katara's sleeping bag was seven steps dead ahead-and empty.
He paused, listening to the strange vibrations from the earth. There were animals in the trees, Aang and his own body sleeping peacefully, Katara and Zuko's empty sleeping bags, and some very strange sounds were coming from the forest...
And suddenly, he could feel the earth vibrating, and he could see Zuko and Katara, alone in the forest, doing something terribly, terribly wrong, and...
His head exploded.
----------------------------
Sokka awoke abruptly in the middle of the night, drenched in a cold sweat.
“Toph, this is all YOUR fault!!!”
END.
